DISCLAIMER: The images on this page show patients treated at Warner Lakes Dental and are published with their written consent. They have not been digitally altered.

All on 4 is a surgical procedure. Outcomes differ between patients depending on bone volume, gum health, general health, smoking status, bite forces and how the bridge is maintained over time. These photographs are examples of individual cases and are not an indication of the result you should expect.

Dr Krish will talk through the likely outcome, the risks and the alternatives for your own case before you decide whether to proceed.

Choosing Your All-On-4 Bridge

Acrylic

the lighter, lower-cost option, and the one most first-time full-arch patients choose. Chips or wear are usually simple to repair chairside.

Zirconia or porcelain

a stronger, stain-resistant finish that closely mimics natural enamel translucency. Sits above acrylic on price.

Four, five or six implants

All-on-4 commonly uses four implants per arch. Some cases may need five or six, depending on bone volume, bite forces and how our dentist plans your treatment.

If you are only missing one tooth or a short run of teeth, All-on-4 is more treatment than you need, a single implant or a smaller bridge usually does the job.

Full Arch Dental Implants in Brisbane

“Full-arch” and “full-mouth” get used loosely in everyday search, worth untangling before you book. A full-arch treatment restores one row of teeth, either the top or the bottom. Full-mouth usually means treating both arches, upper and lower, which roughly doubles the implants, the surgery time and the cost. If you’re researching full-arch dental implants in Brisbane and only need one arch treated, All-on-4 for that single arch is the relevant option, not a full-mouth case.

All-on-4 itself has a scale within it too. Four implants per arch is standard. Five or six can be the better call for patients with lower bone density or heavier bite forces, decided after your CBCT scan, not before it.

Most patients also move through two bridges, not one. A fixed temporary goes in first, often the same day as surgery, and does the job while the implants integrate. The final bridge, in your chosen material, replaces it once healing is confirmed. Treatment planning differs case to case because bone volume, gum health, the number of arches involved and your bite all shift the sequence and timing.

Benefits and Limitations of All-On-4

Fixed, not removable:

The bridge stays in place, it is not taken out at night like a denture.

Fewer implants than replacing every tooth individually:

Four implants support a full arch, rather than one implant per missing tooth.

Bone grafting is sometimes avoided:

Angled rear implant placement can reduce or remove the need for it in suitable patients, though not every patient avoids grafting.

A temporary bridge may be fitted on surgery day:

Where your bone stability and clinical condition support it, you are rarely left without functional teeth.

It is still surgery:

Healing time, review appointments and ongoing maintenance are all still required, All-on-4 is not a one-visit fix.

All On 4 Cost in Brisbane

Treatment	Price
Acrylic bridge (per arch)	From $15,000
Porcelain or zirconia bridge (per arch)	Up to around $25,000

The actual cost of All-on-4 treatment in Brisbane depends on your bridge material and any preparation your mouth requires.

What Happens, Step by Step

Every case moves through the same broad stages, though how long each one takes is different for everyone.

Working out if you're a fit:
Our dentist looks at your teeth, gums, bite and jawbone, talks through your medical history, and lays out which of the All-on-4 options apply to you.
Mapping the case:
CBCT scans and models where they're needed, then a written plan with every fee attached.
Clearing the way, if needed:
Some patients need teeth out or bone built up before implants go in. Your assessment tells you whether that's you.
Placement day:
Four implants go into the jaw, usually under local anaesthetic, two straight up front and two angled at the back.

Your temporary bridge:
Fitted where clinically suitable, often the same day as surgery, see below.
Settling in:
The implants fuse with the bone over the following weeks to months, checked at review visits along the way.
Your final bridge:
Once the implants have properly integrated, the permanent acrylic, porcelain or zirconia bridge replaces the temporary one.
Staying on top of it:
Regular check-ups plus daily cleaning at home keep the bridge, gums and implants in good shape long term.

Same-Day Temporary Teeth After All-on-4 Surgery

Where clinically suitable, a fixed temporary bridge is fitted on the same day as your implant surgery, so you leave the clinic with a functional set of teeth rather than a gap. Whether this applies to you depends on your bone stability and general health at the time of placement, confirmed during your assessment rather than promised in advance. The temporary bridge is planned from your pre-surgery scans and models, so it is ready to fit once the implants are in position. It carries you through the healing period and is replaced by your final bridge once the implants have properly integrated.

Is All-On-4 Right for You?

Only a clinical assessment can confirm this, but these are the situations that most often bring patients through our door asking about it.

Step 1

You've lost most of the teeth in an arch, or the ones left can't realistically be saved.

Step 2

Your current dentures move, rub or come loose when you eat or talk.

Step 3

Gum disease or long-term decay has taken out several teeth at once.

Step 4

You want a fixed result rather than something you take out at night.

A handful of factors can complicate healing rather than rule you out entirely: heavy smoking, grinding or clenching, poorly managed diabetes, and certain medications that slow bone repair. These get weighed up with you rather than held against you.

Risks Worth Understanding

This is oral surgery, and every surgical procedure carries risk regardless of how routine it has become. Your treating dentist works through the risks specific to your case.

Around the time of surgery: bleeding, swelling, bruising and a real but manageable infection risk at each implant site.
During healing: an implant occasionally fails to bond with the bone and needs to come out or be replaced.
Over the longer term: peri-implantitis (gum and bone inflammation around an implant, usually linked to plaque or smoking), nerve or sinus irritation depending on implant position, and normal wear on the bridge itself that eventually needs attention.
Day to day while adapting: some patients notice altered sensation or a temporary change in how words feel to say.

You won’t hear about every conceivable complication in a single conversation, but everything relevant to your specific health, habits and bone structure gets covered in writing before you decide.

Healing Afterwards

First couple of weeks:

Expect swelling, tenderness and some bruising, gradually easing as each day passes.

Ongoing integration:

The implants keep bonding with the bone well beyond the point the swelling has gone, so treat the surgical sites gently even once you feel back to normal.

Cleaning:

Our clinical team sets you a cleaning routine, plus any medicated rinse, to keep infection risk down while things heal.

Smoking:

It slows healing and raises complication risk more than almost anything else you can control, best avoided through recovery.

Reviews:

Turning up to every scheduled check lets us catch anything early and confirm when you're ready for the final bridge.

Long-Term Maintenance

Suitability can only be confirmed through an individual clinical assessment. The following factors are reviewed at your consultation.

Daily cleaning under the bridge:

Super floss, interdental brushes or a water flosser reach the areas a normal toothbrush cannot, we show you the technique for your bridge at your fit appointment.

Professional maintenance visits:

Let us check the implants, gum tissue and bridge for early signs of a problem, before it becomes a bigger one.

Review frequency:

We set your review schedule based on your case, healing history and how your bridge is wearing, rather than a fixed interval that suits everyone.

Night guards for grinding:

If bruxism is part of your picture, a night guard protects the bridge and implants from the extra bite force while you sleep.

Repairs and replacement over time:

Like any dental restoration, a bridge can chip, wear or eventually need replacing, acrylic is usually simpler and cheaper to repair than porcelain or zirconia.

None of this is a one-off. All-on-4 asks for ongoing care in return for a fixed result, skipping reviews or cleaning is the most common way problems go unnoticed until they are harder to fix.

All-On-4 Next to Your Other Options

Implants, bridges and dentures each have advantages and limitations. The right option depends on your clinical situation, bone availability, medical history, preferences and budget.

	Removable dentures	Individual implants	All-on-4
Fixed or removable	Removable	Fixed	Fixed
Implants required (per arch)	None	One per missing tooth, up to 8+	Four
Bone grafting	Not required	Often required	Often avoided with angled placement
Same-day fixed teeth possible	No	Rarely	Yes, where clinically suitable
Feels like natural teeth	Less so, may move	Yes	Yes
Typical suitability	Most patients	Patients with good bone	Patients missing most or all teeth in an arch

None of this replaces an actual look in your mouth, the right choice comes out of your assessment, not a table.

Getting to Our Clinic From Brisbane

Our clinic is at Warner Lakes Medical Precinct, 1185B Old North Road, Warner QLD 4500, in the northern part of the greater Brisbane region. Patients travelling from the northern suburbs generally reach us in fifteen to thirty minutes depending on traffic, and it is a straightforward run up Gympie Road and Old North Road from the Brisbane CBD.

There is free onsite parking, which matters more than it sounds on surgery day, because you will not be driving yourself home if you have had sedation. Saturday morning appointments are available for patients who cannot take weekday leave.

Patients travel to us for all on 4 consultations from across North Brisbane, including Strathpine, Bray Park, Petrie, Lawnton, Albany Creek, Eatons Hill, Brendale, Aspley, Bridgeman Downs, Bald Hills, Carseldine, Chermside and Sandgate, as well as from further afield in the Brisbane and Moreton Bay areas.

Where a case involves several visits, we group assessment and review appointments where it is clinically appropriate to do so, which reduces the number of trips for patients driving in from further south.

Frequently Asked Questions

Patient education is one of our top concerns. We invite you to contact our office directly with any questions. In the meantime, here are answers to a few of the most common inquiries.

What is All-on-4, in plain terms?

It’s a way of replacing every tooth in an arch with a fixed bridge, held in place by just four implants instead of one per tooth. You might also hear it called all on 4, all on four, full mouth dental implants or supported-on-4.

What will it cost me in Brisbane?

Acrylic starts at $15,000 per arch, porcelain or zirconia runs up to around $25,000. Dr Krish puts a firm number to your case only after examining you. Please note, the consultation fee is separate.

What's covered in that price?

The four implants themselves and the bridge they hold. Anything before that point, tooth removal, scans, bone work, stronger sedation, gets quoted once we know what your mouth needs.

How long am I looking at, start to finish?

It varies person to person. Between your first consultation and your final bridge you’re looking at several appointments, with the bone-healing period usually setting the pace more than anything else. we give you a realistic timeline once they’ve assessed you.

Will my jaw need bone grafting first?

Not necessarily. Angling the back implants often gets around the need for it, though some patients still need grafting depending on how much bone they have to work with.

Do I leave the surgery with no teeth at all?

Usually not. Where your case allows it, a fixed temporary bridge goes in the same day as the implants, so you’re walking around with functional teeth while everything heals underneath.

What does the actual surgery involve?

Dr Krish numbs the area, places four titanium implants into the jawbone, and closes the site. Some soreness afterwards is normal and gets discussed with you ahead of time.

How long before the implants have properly bonded?

Usually somewhere between several weeks and several months, depending on bone quality, your general health and whether you needed any preparatory work. Review visits track the progress.

What could go wrong?

The usual surgical risks apply, infection, an implant not bonding properly, gum and bone inflammation around an implant, and occasionally nerve or sinus involvement depending on where the implants sit. We go through what’s relevant to you specifically before you commit.

How do I keep it clean?

Daily cleaning underneath the bridge with super floss, interdental brushes or a water flosser, whatever we recommend for your bridge.

Acrylic or zirconia, what's the real difference?

Acrylic costs less upfront and is easier to patch up if it chips. Zirconia costs more but resists staining and wear better, and looks closer to natural enamel.

Does food end up trapped under there?

It can cause cleaning slips, which is why we show you the technique for your bridge at your fit appointment.

Can smokers get All-on-4?

Yes, but smoking raises the odds of slow healing, infection and implant problems, so we factor your smoking history into the plan rather than ruling you out automatically.

Does my health fund cover any of this?

Depends entirely on your insurer, your policy tier and your annual limits, Medicare does not apply outside narrow schemes. Call your fund before your consultation and ask what your policy pays toward it.

Do I need a referral first?

No, you can book straight in for a consultation. If your case turns out to need an oral surgeon, that referral gets arranged separately at that point.

How long do All-on-4 implants last?

No fixed lifespan can be promised. Outcomes depend on your oral hygiene, gum health, bite forces, smoking status and how consistently you attend review appointments. The bridge itself can be repaired or eventually replaced without necessarily affecting the implants underneath.

Can an All-on-4 bridge be repaired?

Usually, yes. Acrylic bridges are usually straightforward to repair chairside if chipped. Porcelain or zirconia damage may need a lab-made repair or, in some cases, a bridge replacement.

What foods should I avoid after surgery?

Straight after surgery, stick to soft foods while the surgical sites settle, we give you written guidance for the first days and weeks. Once healed, very hard or sticky foods place extra load on the bridge and are worth limiting long term.

Are All-on-4 teeth removable?

No, the bridge is fixed in place at the clinic, you do not take it out yourself day to day. It can only be removed by a dentist for maintenance, repair or replacement.

What happens if one implant fails?

It does not necessarily mean losing the whole bridge. Depending on which implant is affected and why, we may be able to replace just that implant or adjust how the bridge is supported. Every case is assessed individually.

Do upper and lower arches cost the same?

The published price is per arch, so treating both the upper and lower arch is priced as two separate arches, not a single combined fee. Complexity can still vary between the two, which we confirms at assessment.
