What is All-on-4?
All-on-4 replaces a full arch of missing or failing teeth with a fixed, permanent set of teeth supported by just four implants. It is a life-changing option for anyone facing dentures or the loss of most of their teeth. At Dental at Joondalup, All-on-4 gives you a stable, natural-looking smile you never have to take out.
All-on-4 is a full-arch implant technique that uses four strategically placed implants to support a complete fixed bridge of teeth. The back implants are angled to make the most of the available bone, which often means you can avoid bone grafting and, in many cases, receive a temporary fixed set of teeth on the same day as surgery.
Who is All-on-4 for?
All-on-4 suits people who are missing most or all of the teeth in an arch, have failing teeth that need removing, or are tired of loose, uncomfortable dentures.
- You wear dentures and want teeth that stay put.
- You have advanced gum disease or many failing teeth.
- You want to avoid a plate covering the roof of your mouth.
- You want a fixed solution without an implant for every tooth.
Benefits of All-on-4
- A fixed set of teeth: they never come out and do not slip or click.
- Often no bone graft needed, thanks to the angled implants.
- Teeth in a day is possible: many patients leave with a temporary fixed bridge the same day.
- Eat, speak and smile with confidence.
- Preserves the jawbone and supports facial structure, avoiding the sunken denture look.
How much does All-on-4 cost?
All-on-4 at Dental at Joondalup starts from $19,000 per arch. The cost depends on the materials of the final bridge (acrylic, ceramic or zirconia), whether any grafting is needed, and whether you treat one arch or both. You receive a single fixed quote covering the implants, the surgery and your teeth, with interest-free payment plans available.

All-on-4 FAQs
How much does All-on-4 cost in Joondalup?
All-on-4 at Dental at Joondalup starts from $19,000 per arch, covering the four implants, the surgery and your teeth. The final figure depends on materials and whether you treat one or both arches.
Can I really get teeth in a day?
In many cases, yes. Because the angled implants are stable immediately, a fixed temporary bridge can often be fitted on the day of surgery, so you do not leave without teeth. Your final bridge is fitted after healing.
Do I need a bone graft for All-on-4?
Often not. The technique angles the rear implants to use the available bone, which is one of the main advantages of All-on-4. Your 3D scan confirms this.
How many implants hold a full set of teeth?
As few as four per arch. The implants are positioned to spread the load and support a complete fixed bridge of 10 to 14 teeth.
Is All-on-4 permanent?
Yes. The implants are a permanent foundation and the fixed bridge is not removable by you. It is cleaned in place like natural teeth, with regular professional maintenance.
Does All-on-4 hurt?
Surgery is done under local anaesthetic with sedation options, and most patients manage the recovery with ordinary pain relief. Any swelling settles within days.
