All-On-4 dental implants
in Lansvale

Prices across Sydney vary with the materials and the work involved. At Odontologie, All-On-4 starts from $19,000 per jaw with an acrylic-titanium bridge and from $25,000 per jaw with zirconia. Extractions, grafting and sedation can change the total, and your fee is set out in writing after your free consultation.

The surgery is one appointment: failing teeth are removed and the four implants are placed in the same visit. A fixed temporary bridge usually follows within a few days, once the implants are firm enough. The final bridge is fitted months later, after the bone has bonded to the implants, so the whole treatment takes several months even though the surgery itself is a single day.

We offer IV sedation, given by an anaesthetist. It is not a general anaesthetic: you keep breathing on your own, but you are deeply relaxed and drowsy and most people remember little afterwards. You will need someone to take you home. See intravenous sedation for more.

With healthy gums, the four implants can stay in service for decades. The bridge is the part that wears, and an acrylic-titanium bridge may need repairs or replacing sooner than zirconia. Good daily cleaning and regular maintenance visits help both last as long as possible.

Often, yes. The two back implants are angled to reach firmer bone, so All-On-4 can work where individual implants would need grafting. The CBCT scan shows how much bone you have, and if it is not enough we explain the alternatives, including grafting.

They are fixed, meaning you cannot take them out yourself; they are screwed onto the implants and only your dentist removes them, usually for cleaning at maintenance visits. That is why All-On-4 is often described as permanent false teeth. The bridge itself may need maintenance or replacement over the years.

The surgery is done with local anaesthetic or IV sedation, so you should not feel pain during it. Swelling, bruising and tenderness are common for several days afterwards and are managed with pain relief, cold packs and soft food.

It depends on what matters to you. A fixed bridge does not move or come out and leaves the palate uncovered, but it involves surgery and costs more. A conventional denture costs less, and an implant-supported denture sits between the two. Our article on prosthetic dental options compares them.

Risks include infection, swelling and bruising, nerve irritation, sinus problems in the upper jaw, and an implant that does not bond with the bone. Problems with the bridge, such as chipping or loosening screws, can also occur. We explain these before you agree to treatment. We give every patient the same advice: "Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner." Your written plan is yours to take to another practitioner for exactly that purpose.

We only publish photographs of patients who have given consent. Our article on before and after dental implants explains what to expect at each stage, and at your consultation we can talk you through how a full-arch bridge is designed for your face.

Yes. We offer humm and Afterpay, subject to approval. See our payment options page.
