At Macquarie Street Dental, full mouth dental implants aren't one-size-fits-all. Based on your suitability, we offer options from conventional to ultra-slim design that replaces teeth only, with the aim of retaining natural tissue.

If you're losing teeth, living with dentures, or weighing up your options, all on 4 is worth exploring

REal patient, unedited. All on 4 dental implants. Results at 4 MONTHS. Results vary and are not guaranteed.

If you're losing teeth and have decided removable dentures aren't the right fit for you, full mouth dental implants, known as All-on-4, offer a fixed alternative. Treatment is tailored to your individual needs: for many patients, this involves a conventional approach, while for suitable candidates, a slimmer design requiring less tissue removal may be an option. All implants are placed using guided planning technology, based on your individual anatomy. Treatment risks, recovery and considerations can be found here.

Classic All-on-4 and Slimline All-on-4. What's the difference?

All-on-4 isn't one-size-fits-all. Depending on your anatomy and needs, treatment can follow a Classic All-on-4 approach or a Slimline All-on-4 design.

Here's how they compare:

from surgery to temporary teeth

With Slimline All-on-4, suitable patients may leave surgery the same day with a set of temporary teeth. With Classic All-on-4, temporary teeth are typically provided within 3–5 days. In both cases, timing depends on implant stability at the time of surgery and is confirmed with you individually.

future options

Slimline All-on-4 is designed to preserve healthy bone where possible, which may support more options for future dental care. Classic All-on-4 may involve more bone removal to support the bridge, which is a necessary part of that approach for suitable patients.

Tooth bridge design and feel

Classic All-on-4 uses a bridge that includes pink gum-coloured material where needed to restore fuller support. Slimline All-on-4 uses no pink false gum, engineered to minimise interference with speaking and eating, for patients where anatomy allows.

healing considerations

Slimline All-on-4 aims to preserve more of your existing bone and tissue, healing is intended to be less disruptive for suitable patients. Classic All-on-4 involves more extensive treatment to the bone and tissue, which is a necessary part of achieving the fuller support this approach provides. As with all surgical treatments, individual recovery experiences vary.

smile line and appearance

Slimline All-on-4 teeth emerge directly from your gumline, so there's no join between the bridge and your gum. Classic All-on-4 includes a join where the bridge meets the gum, but this is positioned so it sits behind your lip and isn't visible during normal smiling or talking. For patients with significant bone loss, Classic All-on-4 may remain the more suitable option, since your anatomy determines which approach is right for you.

Precision fit

In both cases, implants are placed with the assistance of X-Guide® navigation, with the aim of sub-millimetre accuracy, and your implant positions are captured digitally in real time to guide the design of your temporary teeth.

Whichever approach suits you, both reflect our commitment to precision, planning and considered treatment, tailored to your individual anatomy.

Precision technology behind
every all on 4 treatment

At Macquarie Street Dental, we use two technologies that are central to how we deliver All-on-4 treatment, supporting a considered and precise approach to planning and placement.

X-Guide®: advanced 3D navigation for implant placement.

This guided system uses 3D navigation with the aim of placing each implant with sub-millimetre accuracy, supporting a procedure that is carefully planned and executed with a high degree of surgical control.

What it means for you:

  • Designed to help protect nerves and adjacent structures
  • A controlled surgical route intended to reduce bone or gum disruption
  • Careful planning to support a well-managed treatment outcomes

FastMap®:  temporary teeth, designed for you

With FastMap®, we capture the position of your implants in real time during surgery. This supports the design of your temporary teeth, which, depending on your treatment approach, may be fitted the same day or within a few days following surgery. Your final ceramic bridge is then fitted at around six months.

What it means for you:

  • Where appropriate, this technology allows temporary teeth to be fitted the same day
  • A temporary bridge designed to align with your natural gumline and anatomy during the healing phase.
  • Treatment planning that considers both function and appearance from the earliest stages.

Before treatment begins, we gather detailed records to guide implant positioning and surgical preparation. We also design the look, shape and size of your replacement teeth, based on your feedback and facial features. Every part of your treatment is meticulously planned from the outset.

Implant placement

On the day of your All-on-4 treatment procedure, we use X-Guide® navigation technology to support controlled, carefully planned implant placement.
