All-on-4® in Clifton Hill, VIC

If you have missing teeth, it's crucial to get replacements so you can eat, speak, and smile with comfort and ease. Many dentists and patients consider dental implants to be the gold standard of tooth replacements, and there are several different kinds of dental implants available.

Implant-supported dentures, also called 'snap-in dentures', and All-on-4 dental implants are two of many options. Both of these tooth replacement treatments use dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone, but they are very different. 

Implant-Supported Denture vs All-on-4 Implants

An implant-supported denture is removable, while All-on-4 implants are permanent. 

Implant-supported dentures consist of 2–6 implants in the patient's mouth, and the dentist creates a denture that 'snaps' into place. We recommend removing the denture for cleaning and sleep.

With All-on-4 dental implants, you can continue brushing and flossing as usual since they're very similar to natural teeth.

We also recommend visiting the dentist regularly to ensure your implant-supported dentures or All-on-4s stay secure and healthy. 

We Invite Your Call

Do you have one or more missing teeth? Dr Nick Malamas offers custom-made dentures in Clifton Hill, VIC. We invite you to contact us today to arrange an appointment with our friendly team. During your appointment, Dr Malamas can assess your oral health, discuss your oral health and aesthetic goals and create a personalised treatment plan based on your unique needs. 

If you have dentures that move or shift when you speak or eat, it’s time for a denture evaluation with your Clifton Hill dentist. Because of changes in bone structure, dentures need regular replacement every five to eight years, although those times can vary from patient to patient.

Relining the denture will provide a temporary solution to the problem, but with the modern options available today, many patients are finding themselves enjoying more of the foods they love with implant-retained denture systems such as All-on-4 dentures.

We Provide Personalized Dental Solutions

Using just four dental implants on the upper or lower arch, Dr Malamas creates a system for dentures to lock into place. All-on-4 also gives patients without teeth a convenient and reliable teeth replacement option in as little as one to three days.

We begin by evaluating bone levels and identifying the ideal location for dental implants. Designing custom dentures for individuals will result in natural looking teeth and gums that complement your appearance including gender, age and skin tone. Patients have an opportunity to discuss their goals for their new smiles.
