How Much Does All-on-4 Cost in Maroubra?All-on-4 treatment typically costs from $32000 to $38000. The price is all-inclusive (extraction of remaining teeth, bone graft if needed, sinus lift, etc.) at Brighter Smile Dental. While this represents a significant investment, it's often more cost-effective than replacing each tooth individually with single implants. Factors that affect All-on-4 cost: Number of arches - Treating one arch (upper OR lower) costs less than treating both arches. Many patients start with one arch and add the second later. Temporary vs. permanent teeth - The cost includes both temporary teeth (placed on surgery day) and final permanent teeth. Complexity of your case - Factors like bone density, existing teeth extraction, or medical conditions may affect the overall cost. Material choices - Premium materials for your final teeth (such as zirconia versus acrylic) influence the total investment. Additional procedures - If bone grafting or sinus lifts are needed, this adds to the cost, though All-on-4 is specifically designed to minimize these needs. What's included in All-on-4 treatment: -Comprehensive consultation and 3D imaging -Detailed treatment planning and smile design -Extraction of remaining teeth (if needed) -Four dental implants per arch -Immediate temporary teeth -Custom-made permanent prosthesis -All follow-up appointments Payment options available: We understand All-on-4 is a major investment in your quality of life. We offer: -Flexible payment plans with manageable monthly installments -Interest-free payment options (conditions apply) -Health fund assistance (some funds cover portions of the treatment) -Package pricing for both upper and lower arches During your consultation, Dr Nirui will provide a detailed, personalized quote based on your specific needs. Many patients find that All-on-4 is comparable to the cost of traditional dentures over 10 years, but offers far superior function, comfort, and appearance.

How Long Is All-on-4 Treatment?
One of the major advantages of All-on-4 is the speed of treatment. Many patients receive their new teeth in just one day, with the complete process taking 3 to 6 months from start to finish.
All-on-4 treatment timeline:
Initial Consultation (Week 1) - Dr Nirui examines your mouth, takes 3D scans, discusses your goals, and creates your customized treatment plan.
Treatment Planning (1-2 weeks) - Your implant positions are planned with computer precision, and your temporary teeth are fabricated.
Surgery Day - This is when the transformation happens:
-Morning: Remaining teeth extracted (if needed), four implants placed
-Afternoon: Temporary full arch attached to implants
-You leave with a complete set of teeth the same day!
-Total time in office: 3-5 hours
Healing Period (3-6 months) - You wear your temporary teeth while the implants fuse with your jawbone. During this time, you can eat, speak, and smile normally (with some dietary restrictions to protect the implants).
Final Prosthesis (Months 4-6) - Once fully healed:
-Impressions taken for your permanent teeth
-Custom permanent prosthesis fabricated (2-3 weeks)
-Final teeth attached to implants
Factors affecting timeline:
Bone density - Denser bone may allow faster progression to final teeth
Healing response - Some patients heal faster than others; Dr Nirui monitors your progress
Extractions needed - If teeth need removal, healing may take slightly longer
Medical conditions - Diabetes or other health factors may extend healing time
The "teeth in a day" benefit:
Unlike traditional implants, where you might wait months for teeth, All-on-4 almost always allows you to leave with functioning teeth on surgery day. This means:
-Never going without teeth
-Immediate improvement in appearance
-Ability to eat soft foods right away
-Maintaining social and professional activities
While final teeth take a few months, you're never without a complete smile throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is All-on-4 painful?
The surgery is performed under local anaesthetic (or sedation if preferred), so you won't feel pain during the procedure. Afterwards, most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort managed with prescribed pain medication. Many patients report less pain than expected and return to normal activities within a few days.
Can I eat normally with All-on-4?
Yes! All-on-4 restores your ability to eat virtually anything. During the first few months with temporary teeth, you'll need to avoid very hard or sticky foods to protect the healing implants. Once your final teeth are in place, you can eat steak, apples, corn on the cob, and all your favorite foods with confidence.
How do I clean All-on-4 teeth?
All-on-4 teeth are cleaned much like natural teeth - with brushing and flossing. You'll use a special brush to clean under the prosthesis, and Dr Nirui will show you exactly how. Professional cleanings every 6 months are also important for long-term success.
What if I don't have enough bone for implants?
All-on-4 is specifically designed for patients with bone loss. The angled implant placement maximizes use of available bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafting. Dr Nirui will evaluate your 3D scans to determine if you're a candidate.
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
The implants themselves can last a lifetime with proper care. Your permanent prosthesis typically lasts 10-15 years before needing replacement due to normal wear. With regular maintenance, All-on-4 is a long-term, permanent solution.
