The All-on-4® protocol developed by Dr Malo, allows the placement of four dental implants to support a fixed bridge during one appointment. This greatly reduces the time patients spend without teeth: You will receive a non-removable set of new teeth in as little as one day. It dramatically improves how you smile, eat and speak, boosting your confidence as you move through life.
Several factors may affect your suitability for All-on-4® and dental implants. To assess your individual situation, Next Smile™ certified surgeon Dr Johnston and his team will examine your dental and overall health, as well as your patient history.
Considering the results of your initial consultation and assessment, they will then recommend a tailor-made treatment solution that serves your needs and preferences. If you are accessing treatment via a Next Smile™ Local Access Partner, their competent team will determine whether you are a candidate for All-on-4® and plan treatment with Dr Johnston.
When you lose one or more teeth, the underlying bone has no function and consequently, is reabsorbed by the body. Dental implants, however, can provide enough stimulation to the jawbone to prevent the bone from further deterioration. All-on-4®, as such, also prevents further bone loss.
Dental implants are the best treatment option for patients already suffering from bone loss. Patients who’ve been advised that traditional solutions to missing teeth won’t work for them, due to significant bone loss, are often perfect candidates for the All-on-4® procedure.
Next Smile™ is the world-leading provider of dental implants and All-on-4® restorative dental services. Our highly skilled dental surgeons have been transforming smiles in their local communities over many, many years
Dr Johnston, a Malo-certified Next Smile™ dental surgeon, is a renowned expert in his field and as part of the Australian All-on-4® network of dental professionals, operates out of the Next Smile™ Melbourne Surgical Super Centre.
If you are accessing treatment via a Next Smile™ Local Access Partner, their competent team will prepare and plan your All-on-4® with Dr Johnston and undertake any post-surgical care, so that you will only be required to travel to Next Smile™ Melbourne for your surgery.
We regularly hold free educational seminars, both on and offline, where you can meet and talk to your local implant team. If you’d like your individual situation assessed by a dental professional or require further information on our services, please get in touch!
During an initial All-on-4® consultation at Next Smile™ Melbourne or one of our Next Smile™ Local Access Partners, we’ll outline the estimated treatment cost for you.
