Next Smile Australia Melbourne is a state-of-the-art clinic featuring the highest quality of trained staff and dental technology. Next Smile’s All-on-4® Super Clinic in Melbourne is home to highly experienced dental surgeons and will provide you with a brand-new set of teeth in as little as one day.
Missing teeth are common, and there are many causes for them. Trauma, advanced tooth decay and gum disease are among the most common. But although they’re nothing unusual, gaps in your smile can take a toll on your self-confidence, oral health and overall health. One missing tooth can be enough to set a chain reaction of other problems in motion. Other teeth can shift out of place to fill the gaps, leading to a crooked smile and uneven teeth that are hard to clean between. With teeth missing, the jawbone won’t get the full benefit of movement and can become brittle, leading to further tooth loss. Bacteria can sneak into open pockets in the gums and cause gum disease and, eventually, serious conditions elsewhere in the body, such as heart problems.
Fortunately, there are ways to deal with missing teeth before problems escalate to that stage. Traditional dental implants are artificial teeth affixed to the jawbone with titanium screws. All-on-4® takes a different approach that’s both simpler and more powerful as it provides you with a brand new set of teeth, with a single arch resting on just four implants.
The team at Next Smile Australia Melbourne’s Super Clinic has the training, the experience and the technology to have you smiling again. There are several benefits to choosing us as your All-on-4® clinic in Melbourne.
History of Next Smile Australia Super Clinic in Melbourne
In 1998, Dr Paulo Malo created the All-on-4® technique in partnership with research sponsor Nobel Biocare. Since then, hundreds of thousands of people have been treated with All-on-4®, and studies have revealed a 98% success rate for the procedure over the long term.
Lead All-on-4® dental surgeon and clinic owner Dr Larry Benge partnered with Dr Malo to bring the All-on-4® to Australia as founder and director of Next Smile Australia.
Located in Hawthorn, Next Smile Australia Melbourne is a state-of-the-art clinic that features an in-house dental laboratory, so your entire procedure takes place under one roof. We provide transparent pricing, clear inclusions and a range of payment options, as we understand that All-on-4® can be a significant investment.

Benefits Of Getting All-on-4® At Next Smile Australia Melbourne
All-on-4® is an advanced dental procedure, a long-lasting replacement for missing teeth and a form of full mouth reconstruction.
You may be familiar with dental implants, in which titanium screws are inserted into the jawbone to hold artificial teeth in place. All-on-4® has a similar concept but with some crucial differences; the main one is that an entire bridge or arch of new teeth rests on four implants: two at the front and two at the back on each jawbone.
For our All-on-4® treatments, we use Dr Paulo Malo’s two-bridge process, ‘The Malo Protocol’. In stage one of this process, you’ll receive your first set (provisional) of teeth to be worn for three to six months. This gives your mouth a chance to heal and allows the dental implants time to integrate with your jawbone. Stage two involves fitting your final bridge.
