What Is All-on-4?

All-on-4 is a trusted solution for full arch restoration. Using only four dental implants — carefully placed with precision — we can replace an entire row of teeth with a custom-made bridge that looks and functions like natural teeth.

Every smile is unique, which means pricing can vary depending on your individual needs. We take the time to walk you through your options so you can feel confident that your investment aligns with your goals, lifestyle, and oral health.

Provisional vs. Definitive Bridges

We break the process into two key stages, ensuring your mouth heals comfortably before your final smile is placed.

Provisional Bridge

This temporary bridge is fitted straight after your implant surgery. It allows healing to take place while still letting you eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

  • Fitted within 24–48 hours of surgery
  • Made from durable, medical-grade acrylic
  • Worn for around 3 months during healing

Adjustable for comfort and function

Definitive Bridge

Once your implants have fully integrated with your jawbone, we fit your permanent bridge — a long-lasting, beautifully crafted solution.

  • Attached after complete healing (around 3–6 months)
  • Made from strong, premium materials such as zirconia
  • Custom-designed for a natural look and feel
  • Price range: AUD $15,000–$25,000
  • Built for long-term durability and performance


The Process of Full Arch Implants

The process of obtaining full arch implants involves two main stages:

  • Implant Placement: Four strategically placed titanium implants are inserted into the jawbone under local anaesthesia or sedation for maximum comfort. Two implants are positioned at the front, while two are angled at the back to provide strong support and stability.

  • Temporary Teeth: Within 24- 48 hours, a high-quality, temporary bridge is fitted. This allows for healing while ensuring you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence right away. The temporary bridge lets you trial your new smile and request any necessary adjustments.

  • Adjustment Period: Over the next three months, your implants integrate with your bone (osseointegration), providing a secure foundation During this time, we assess comfort, function, and aesthetics to refine your final smile.

  • Placement of Final Definitive Bridge: After healing, we replace your temporary teeth with your custom-made, definitive bridge. These are designed to be natural-looking, strong, and long-lasting stunning, effortless smile.


This two-step approach allows for optimal healing and ensures that the final result is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Factors Affecting Cost

The full arch dental implants cost in Australia ranges from $23,000 to $35,000 per full arch, varying by dental practice and expertise. Premium practices, like Innova Dental, invest in cutting-edge technology, strict sterilisation, superior materials, and highly skilled support staff, all of which influence pricing.

Many offer superior results through advanced 3D imaging, precise implant placement, and comprehensive aftercare. While the initial investment may be higher. Choosing a trusted dental surgeon ensures long-term success, minimising complications and delivering a confident, lasting smile.

Additional Costs to Consider

Bone grafting is an important factor to consider when getting all on 4 dental implants. This procedure is necessary when patients do not have enough jaw bone density to securely support dental implants.

The cost of bone grafting in Australia can add AUD $10,000-$15,000 to your treatment plan, depending on:

  • The extent of bone loss
  • Type of grafting material used
  • Complexity of the procedure
  • Number of sites requiring treatment

Your dental specialist will evaluate the condition of your jawbone using detailed 3D scans and imaging. These diagnostic tools will help determine if you need bone augmentation before the placement of the implants.

The grafting procedure may involve:

  • Autogenous bone (taken from your own body)
  • Synthetic materials
  • Donor tissue
  • Bone substitutes

 

The healing period for bone grafts usually lasts 4-6 months before the placement of the implants can take place. This timeline will impact both the duration of the treatment and the scheduling of payments for your All-on-4 procedure.
