Next Smile™ Melbourne is the leading Australian provider of the world-renowned All-on-4® dental implant procedure, pioneered by Dr Paulo Malo.

A dental clinic that provides All-on-4® treatments to residents of Melbourne and surrounding regions, Next Smile™ Melbourne offers a great, secure and safe patient environment.
The Next Smile™ Melbourne All-on-4® Centre works collaboratively with a network of Local Access Referral Partners in Victoria to ensure you can access your All-on-4® treatment within a two-hour drive of your home.
If you’ve lost one or multiple teeth due to the effects of aging, trauma or disease, you have a range of options to restore your smile. Dentures may not be the best fit, and whilst they seem to be the more affordable solution to missing teeth, they require frequent replacement and look nowhere near as natural as dental implants.
Your surgery will be undertaken by Next Smile™ All-on-4® most skilled and experienced dental surgeon, Dr Larry Benge, who has transformed thousands of smiles over the years.
The Next Smile™ Melbourne All-on-4® Centre is purpose-built and designed to support Dr Benge and his team in continuously achieving outstanding results for their patients. From inviting consultation spaces to the state-of-the-art operating and recovery facilities, Next Smile™ Melbourne delivers treatments in the safest and most reassuring way possible.
Dr Benge and the team at Next Smile™ Melbourne All-on-4 Centre only want the very best for their patients. Empathetic to their patients’ physical and psychological concerns, they have created a non-judgemental environment that makes it easy for you to approach their friendly dental staff and discuss possible treatment solutions in a tranquil and professional practice environment.
To allow as many Australians as possible to access treatment, Next Smile™ Melbourne offers multiple payment options, including but not limited to superannuation early release and payment plans, some of which are interest-free, as well as discounts for upfront payment.
As part of the Gold Standard Next Smile™ Melbourne patient experience, the local team regularly hosts free online webinars and face-to-face seminars. If you have any questions about the All-on-4® treatment concept or would like to get to know Dr Benge and his Next Smile™ team, this is your chance to do so in a commitment-free setting.
Dr Benge partners with a network of trusted Local Access Partner Dentists to evaluate your situation and determine which treatment solution best suits you.
Don’t live in Melbourne? For your convenience, our carefully selected Next Smile™ Local Access Partners may undertake parts of your All-on-4® treatment.
This can include your initial consultation and assessment, post-surgical reviews and the fitting of your final and permanent new teeth after a three to six-month healing period.

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. Dr Johnston and his team will also identify any possible complications to your treatment that may raise treatment cost and advise you accordingly.
We know that the treatment price can be a barrier that keeps some of our patients from the smile that they deserve. Next Smile™ Melbourne offers various funding arrangements and payment plan options to help you access All-on-4® treatment.
