Dr Barry Phelan invites you to
What Are All-on-4® Dental Implants?
All-on-4® is a dental implant procedure for one or two arches of artificial teeth that provide greater bite force than dentures.
All-on-4® dental implants may be an option if you are missing multiple teeth, have severe gum disease or tooth decay, or cannot otherwise have your teeth restored.
The All-on-4® procedure involves replacing your teeth with an arch of long-lasting, artificial teeth. These teeth are supported on four strategically placed dental implants—two at the front and two at the back in the upper or lower jawbone. This allows the new arch of teeth to be secure while also being less invasive than some traditional full-mouth dental restoration options.
At Next Smile Wollongong, we follow the clinically proven Malo Protocol for the All-on-4® procedure. Pioneered by Dr. Paulo Malo, the creator of the All-on-4® concept, the Malo Protocol is a two-bridge treatment process with a 98% success rate.
In the first stage, any remaining teeth you may have are removed, and the dental implants are placed. You are then fitted with your first set of ‘provisional’ teeth. You will wear these teeth for three to six months as your jawbone fuses with the dental implants. This also allows you to get used to the appearance and feel of the teeth and make any adjustments for your final set.
In stage two, you receive your final set of long-lasting teeth, crafted onsite at our Next Smile Australia Labs and made from the highest quality Nobel Biocare components.

The main advantage of the All-on-4® procedure is that it allows you to carry out a full arch restoration without the need for bone grafting and to have immediate temporary teeth (immediate load).
It typically requires only one operation of shorter duration compared with other forms of full arch rehabilitation (fixed teeth) that may include bone grafting.
The Next Smile Australia method has a high success rate, 95-98% in most individuals over a 10-year period*.
It is easy to maintain your hygiene utilising dental floss, waterpick and brush.
You can select the teeth aesthetics that you want and most importantly, you have the opportunity to try the teeth for three months during osseointegration (healing phase) before proceeding to the full titanium/acrylic teeth.
If you break a tooth on your final prosthesis it is relatively quick and easy to repair.
Some people cope well with dentures, others do not. Dentures have been available for hundreds of years.
They work by adhesion in your mouth and the success of dentures may be dependent upon the amount of residual bone post extraction of your teeth. They may also be affected by the amount and consistency of your saliva. In most cases, as the length of time you are missing your teeth increases, the bone levels continue to shrink and may cause more difficulty in stabilising your dentures.
Dental implants and the All-on-4® treatment options allow the bridge of teeth to be fixed to the dental implants (foundations) and therefore provide improved stability compared with dentures. Once the teeth are attached to the implants, they have the same stability as your natural teeth but will feel different as all the teeth are connected together in a bridge scenario. There are no individual teeth in the All-on-4® treatment options.
As the teeth are attached to the implants you should enjoy a better outcome in terms of functionality and appearance. All-on-4® may provide you with an easier cleaning and maintenance regime, which is essential to their longevity. They are designed to function similarly to your own teeth and provide confidence that there is stability of the teeth when biting, chewing, smiling, laughing and playing sport.
Following your initial consultation with our experienced dental teams you will be provided with detailed treatment plans for your surgery and rehabilitation. Once you have made a decision on your treatment options you will be provided with a timeline for your treatment.
All-on-4® generally has a 1-3 hour operation time, depending upon the number of jaws you treat and in most cases the temporary teeth are provided on the same day. In some cases we may need to insert the teeth on the second day, within 24 hours of surgery.
Dental implants are generally a long-term solution for your dental restoration. They do not last forever and the length of time they last may be affected by a number of circumstances.
Long term results may be dependent on your oral health habits, lifestyle and medications that you are taking now or in the future and your current and future medical health.
Understandably, this is one of our most frequently asked questions. During an initial All-on-4® consultation at a Next Smile Australia clinic near you, we’ll fully examine your dental health and outline your estimated treatment cost.
