All on 4 Sydney evolved – the future of dental implants is here

The key difference is in how much we preserve (rather than remove) and how our technology delivers fit, feel and function. Standard All on 4 often replaces both teeth and gums (known as FP3), which can result in a thicker bridge and visible transition line. In contrast, the Next Gen treatment concept aims to replace only the teeth, preserving more of your natural gum and bone whenever your anatomy allows. That means a slimmer bridge, fewer modifications to your jaw or gum tissue, and a more natural feel. Even if you’re not a candidate for Next Gen, the advanced technologies we use still provide a more precise and comfortable outcome compared with conventional techniques.

We recognise full‑arch restoration is a significant step – and comfort is a priority. We offer twilight sedation administered by an accredited anaesthetist so you remain conscious but relaxed, and many patients report little recall of the procedure. After‑care protocols and advanced surgical planning aim to minimise post‑operative discomfort. Sedation fees may attract a Medicare rebate depending on your eligibility. (Note: Individual experience varies.)

For people facing full‑arch tooth loss or longstanding denture use, All on 4 offers a fixed teeth, long‑term solution rather than removable alternatives. Research suggests high overall satisfaction rates among patients with conventional All on 4. While we don’t promise results, many patients in these circumstances find the upgrade meaningful – not just in appearance of their new fixed teeth, but in ease and daily function.

All on 4 cost will vary depending on the type of dental bridge you select for your new teeth, the use of genuine, high-quality dental implants, your individual case, and the clinician's surgical experience. During your initial consultation at our All on 4 clinic Sydney, we’ll break down the exact cost and provide a detailed treatment plan. We also offer payment plans, so you can get high-quality, authentic All on 4 dental implants and pay for your treatment in manageable instalments. Remember, the cheapest All on 4 dental implants Sydney may come with hidden costs and not give you the results you want. Do your research and read up on All on 4 reviews.

Clinical studies on conventional All on 4 report implant‑survival rates in the range of 95‑98% over multi‑year follow‑up periods. The use of guided technologies (such as ours) may enhance precision and reduce variables, though, as with any surgical treatment, success depends on individual anatomy, oral hygiene, health factors and maintenance. Always discuss your personal prognosis and success rates during your consultation.

Age is rarely a barrier to dental implants. What matters most is your overall health and bone quality. Many patients in their 70s, 80s, or even older successfully receive implants and enjoy a fully restored smile. Dental implants are typically recommended for adults 18 years and over because jaw growth needs to be complete before treatment. We can assess your suitability and discuss options tailored to you.

Some of the benefits frequently experienced by patients include:

• Stable, fixed teeth rather than removable teeth
• Improved ability to eat a wider variety of foods
• Improved speech
• Preservation of the jawbone structure, which can atrophy under dentures
• A simplified maintenance routine (with professional support and home care)

For our Next Gen bridge restoration, we use the ICE® zirconia ceramic system by Zirkonzahn – a zirconia framework over a high-strength white zirconia (approximately 1900 MPa). Because there’s no titanium framework, the bridge can be thinner yet stronger. The design is custom‑contoured to match your gumline and anatomy, offering a more natural feel and appearance compared with thicker, generic alternatives.

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks. Potential All on 4 problems may include:

• Implant failure
• Infection
• Incorrect placement, causing nerve damage
• Tooth bridge breakages and fractures
• Complications related to certain health conditions

Choosing an experienced clinic and following all aftercare instructions can help minimise these risks.

The All-on-4 Next Gen procedure is completed within a day. When it comes to recovery, most people take around 2 - 5 days to rest and heal. Your final bridge is then placed four to six months later, once the implants have fully integrated with the bone and you’re fully healed.

Good home hygiene and professional reviews are key to lasting outcomes. We recommend:

• Brushing both teeth and gums twice daily
• Flossing under the bridge where accessible
• Using a water‑flosser for harder‑to‑reach areas
• Attending professional check‑ups every six months (or more frequently if advised). Regular follow‑up ensures we can monitor healing, bite alignment and oral health.

While cheaper overseas alternatives may appear attractive, patients should be aware of the trade‑offs: limited local support, low-quality implants and components, difficulty in returning for revision or maintenance, potential regulatory differences, and no on‑site after‑care. At Macquarie Street Dental, you’re supported locally with clinicians, anaesthetists, on‑site labs and follow‑up care. We believe depth of local support is a key factor in long‑term satisfaction and safety.
