All On 4 Plus® in Bacchus Marsh, Melton & Ballan
Considering All On 4 Plus® in Bacchus Marsh? At Bacchus Marsh Dental House, your family’s dental home for over 30 years, our experienced team provides comprehensive care using established All On 4 Plus® technology for addressing extensive tooth loss.
Full Arch Tooth Replacement Solutions
Losing most or all of your teeth can dramatically impact your daily life, affecting how you eat, speak, and feel about smiling. At Bacchus Marsh Dental House, we’ve helped 39,000+ families across Melbourne’s north-west explore comprehensive tooth replacement options, and we understand the significant challenges that extensive tooth loss brings.
What Is All On 4 Plus®?
All On 4 Plus® is an established dental procedure designed to replace 10-14 teeth using just four strategically placed titanium implants per arch. Unlike traditional approaches requiring individual implants for each missing tooth, All On 4 Plus® uses four implants fixed into the densest part of the jawbone to support a complete prosthetic arch.
This treatment approach is commonly recommended for individuals who have lost most or all of their teeth, particularly in the upper and lower arches, due to advanced decay, gum disease, or injury.
The titanium implants are angled strategically to maximise contact with available bone, potentially making this treatment suitable even for patients with some bone loss who may not be candidates for traditional implants. This approach aims to restore full arch function while potentially being more economical and requiring less surgery than multiple individual implants, though success depends on individual bone quality and healing capacity.
Is All On 4 Plus® Suitable for You?
Your situation requires thorough evaluation. At Bacchus Marsh Dental House, we assess each case individually through our comprehensive, gentle consultation process. All On 4 Plus® may be appropriate when certain conditions are met regarding bone density and overall health.
The All On 4 Plus® Process
Treatment success depends on individual healing and complexity. Here's what the typical journey involves:
Comprehensive Evaluation
Our caring team conducts a detailed examination including 3D imaging to evaluate bone density, determine optimal implant positioning, and assess your suitability for the procedure. (1-2 appointments, approximately 2-3 hours total)
Detailed Planning
We develop your personalised surgical plan, determine the optimal implant angles and positions, and design your temporary prosthesis for immediate placement. (Planning completed prior to surgery day)
Surgery Day – Implant Placement
Four titanium implants are strategically placed per arch using sedation for your comfort, with temporary teeth often provided the same day if conditions allow. (1 appointment, approximately 3-4 hours per arch)
Early Healing Phase
Close monitoring during the first weeks as implants begin integration, with temporary prosthesis adjustments as needed for your comfort. (First 2-4 weeks with regular check-ups)
Integration Period
Implants continue integrating with bone while you adapt to your temporary restoration and follow specific dietary guidelines. (3-6 months with regular monitoring appointments)
Final Prosthesis
Your permanent, custom-designed prosthesis is created and fitted once implants have fully integrated with the bone. (2-3 appointments over 2-3 weeks)
Understanding Risks and Recovery
Full-arch implant treatments can restore function and stability, but as with any surgical procedure, there are risks and recovery considerations.
Possible risks include:
- Post-treatment swelling, bruising or discomfort
- Minor bleeding during early healing
- Infection or delayed healing in uncommon cases
- Possibility that implants may not integrate properly with the bone
Recovery considerations:
- Initial healing usually takes one to two weeks
- Temporary teeth are often provided within days of surgery, with final teeth placed after full healing
- Full bone integration (osseointegration) typically requires several months
- A soft diet is recommended during early healing, with attendance at all follow-up appointments important

Any questions?
How long do All-On-4 Plus® implants last?
While All On 4 Plus® is designed as a long-term solution, longevity depends on many factors including bone quality, oral hygiene, bite forces, and individual healing patterns. Regular maintenance appointments are essential for optimal long-term outcomes, and we’ll discuss realistic expectations during your consultation.
Can I eat normally with All-On-4 Plus®?
Once fully healed, All On 4 Plus® is intended to restore significant bite function, though some dietary modifications may remain permanent. During the healing period, strict dietary restrictions are required, and we’ll provide detailed guidelines for each phase of your recovery.
What if I don’t have enough bone for traditional implants?
All On 4 Plus® uses angled implant placement to maximise use of available bone, potentially making it suitable for some patients with bone loss. However, adequate bone is still required, and additional procedures like bone grafting may be necessary in some cases based on individual assessment.
