Complete All-On-4® Treatment in Melbourne
Lost all or most of your natural teeth? While traditional solutions like implant-supported dentures and bridges provide support, an All-On-4® dental implant procedure in Melbourne and surrounding regional areas, can be a more viable option. The treatment allows for the placement of fixed, non-removable dentures, providing a more permanent solution to tooth loss.
It’s necessary to examine your present oral health and discuss the treatment regime before moving forward. For those based in Melbourne or nearby, we recommend consulting with Dr Asef who can guide you, discuss your oral health goals, and determine if you’re fit for an All-On-4 treatment.
Inside The All-On-4® Experience
Tooth loss can be distressing for many, but with All-On-4® implants in Melbourne and surrounding areas, you gain more than just a set of new teeth; you regain your confidence and functionality. The All-On-4® dental implants are a solution that not only replaces your missing teeth but also restores the natural look and feel of your smile through a streamlined and sophisticated process.
Aside from restoration, the All-On-4® treatment can also help significantly improve one’s facial structure, correct jaw alignment and bite force, as well as enhance their speech capabilities.
Understanding The All-On-4® Procedure
During the initial visit, Dr Asef conducts a thorough medical and dental evaluation of your teeth, including the capture of photos, scans, and 3D X-rays to meticulously assess your bone structure. Using digital smile design technology, Dr Asef then customises a smile that’s entirely unique to you.
Once you approve the proposed smile design, Dr Asef then proceeds with the surgery to place your dental implants. If required, Dr Asef might perform bone grafting during the surgery which is done under general anaesthesia by a specialist anaesthetic doctor.
Within 24-48 hours following the surgical procedure, provisional teeth are fitted on your implants. These serve you for the next three months during the healing process of your mouth and gums, providing both function and a natural appearance. As the final step of your All-On-4® treatment in Melbourne and surrounding areas, fixed teeth of either acrylic, porcelain, or zirconia are fitted onto a titanium substructure bar of your implants, resulting in a very strong, natural-looking and confident smile.

Will I experience pain during an All-On-4® treatment?
Since the All-On-4® dental implants procedure is a surgical intervention, the patient is administered with general anaesthesia. After the anaesthesia subsides, the patient may experience some discomfort, such as minor pain and/or even swelling for a few days. Pain relief medications can be prescribed to help ease any post-surgical discomfort.
Who is suitable for an All-On-4® procedure?
The All-On-4® procedure for our Melbourne and regional town patients, is suitable for individuals that have experienced severe tooth loss and are seeking a permanent solution for a complete dental restoration.
It’s necessary for the patient to have healthy gums and sufficient bone density to support the implants. This includes individuals who have suffered significant tooth loss or those seeking a durable alternative to removable dentures. Dr Asef will discuss all your options and costs associated so then you may make an informed decision.
Can patients with less bone mass undergo an All-On-4® surgery?
The All-On-4® implants are designed to be angled within the jaw, reducing the need for bone grafting. This strategic placement in both the lower and upper jaws ensures optimal functionality and helps prevent dental issues such as cavities.
With that said, it’s essential for the Dr Asef to assess the patient’s bone structure to determine suitability for the procedure. We recommend coming in for consultation to determine your eligibility for the treatment.
How long does the All-On-4® treatment take?
The time taken to complete the whole All-On-4® dental implants treatment for our patients in Melbourne and surrounding regional areas can vary based on several factors. Typically, patients can expect to have their full restoration, with the initial temporary teeth, in under 24-48 hours.
This is the time required for the All-On-4® teeth to get permanently attached to the implants. Overall duration of the treatment may extend if additional procedures are necessary. After 3 months of healing is when then final strengthened bridge are issued.
