Considering All-On-4 Plus® in Sunbury? At Sunbury Dental House, our gentle, experienced team provides comprehensive care using established All-On-4 Plus® technology to help address extensive tooth loss with personalised treatment.
When Most or All Your Teeth Need Replacement
Losing most or all of your teeth can dramatically impact your daily life, affecting your ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and smile with confidence. At Sunbury Dental House, we understand these life-changing challenges and have extensive experience helping Melbourne families explore comprehensive tooth replacement options like All-On-4 Plus®, which may help restore both function and appearance when suitable for extensive tooth loss.
Understanding All-On-4 Plus®
All-On-4 Plus® is an established dental procedure designed to replace 10-14 teeth using just four strategically placed titanium implants per arch. Unlike traditional approaches requiring individual implants for each missing tooth, All-On-4 Plus® uses four implants fixed into the densest part of the jawbone to support a complete prosthetic arch. This treatment approach is commonly recommended for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, particularly in the front upper and lower arches, due to advanced decay, periodontal disease, or injury.
The All-On-4 Plus® titanium implants are angled strategically to maximise contact with available bone, potentially making this treatment suitable even for patients with some bone loss who may not be candidates for traditional implants. This approach aims to restore full arch function while potentially being more cost-effective and requiring less surgery than multiple individual implants, though success depends on individual bone quality and healing capacity.
Could All-On-4 Plus® Be Right for You?
At Sunbury Dental House, we believe every patient deserves individual attention. All-On-4 Plus® may be suitable following our gentle, comprehensive assessment process, though each case requires careful evaluation of bone density and oral health status.
Your Gentle All-On-4 Plus® Journey
While All-On-4 Plus® treatment success depends on individual healing and complexity, here's what you can typically expect:
Your Comprehensive Assessment
Our gentle team conducts thorough examination including 3D imaging to evaluate bone density, determine implant positioning, and assess your suitability for the procedure. (1-2 visits, approximately 2-3 hours total)
Advanced Treatment Planning
We create your personalised surgical plan, determine the optimal implant angles and positions, and design your temporary prosthesis for immediate placement. (Planning completed prior to surgery day)
Surgery Day - Implant Placement
Four titanium implants are strategically placed per arch using sedation for comfort, with temporary teeth often provided the same day if conditions allow. (1 visit, approximately 3-4 hours per arch)
Initial Healing & Adjustment
Close monitoring during the first weeks as implants begin integration, with temporary prosthesis adjustments as needed for comfort. (First 2-4 weeks with frequent check-ups)
Integration & Healing Period
Implants continue integrating with bone while you adapt to your temporary restoration and follow specific dietary guidelines. (3-6 months with regular monitoring visits)
Final Prosthesis Placement
Your permanent, custom-designed prosthesis is created and fitted once implants have fully integrated with the bone. (2-3 visits over 2-3 weeks)
Risks & Recovery
Full-arch implant treatments can restore function and stability, but as with any surgical procedure, there are risks and recovery considerations.
Possible risks include:
- Swelling, bruising or discomfort in the days following surgery
- Minor bleeding during the initial healing period
- Infection or delayed healing in rare cases
- Risk of All-On-4 Plus® implant failure if proper healing does not occur
- Nerve irritation or sinus involvement, depending on All-On-4 Plus® implant placement
Recovery considerations:
- Initial All-On-4 Plus® healing usually takes one to two weeks
- Temporary teeth are often provided within days of surgery, with final teeth placed after full healing
- Full osseointegration of All-On-4 Plus® implants typically requires several months
- Patients are advised to follow a soft diet during early healing and attend all follow-up visits

Any questions?
How long do All-On-4 Plus® implants last?
While All-On-4 Plus® is designed as a long-term solution, longevity depends on many factors including bone quality, oral hygiene, bite forces, and individual healing. We cannot guarantee specific timeframes, but regular maintenance is essential for optimal outcomes.
Can I eat normally with All-On-4 Plus®?
Once fully healed, All-On-4 Plus® is intended to restore significant bite function, though some dietary modifications may remain permanent. During healing, strict dietary restrictions are required, and we’ll provide detailed guidelines for each phase of recovery.
What if I don’t have enough bone for traditional implants?
All-On-4 Plus® uses angled implant placement to maximise use of available bone, potentially making it suitable for some patients with bone loss. However, adequate bone is still required, and additional procedures like bone grafting may be necessary in some cases.
