The All-on-4 treatment concept is designed for patients who are missing all or most of their teeth and want a fixed, natural-looking alternative to dentures.
Using as few as four dental implants per jaw, a full set of teeth is securely attached — restoring comfort, confidence, and function in as little as 24–48 hours.
In some cases, additional implants may be placed for extra stability (known as All-on-X).
This approach allows patients to leave with a fully fixed, beautiful smile within days, instead of waiting months for traditional healing.
At Altura, we combine advanced digital planning, artistry, and precision to create results that feel as natural as they look — transforming not just your smile, but the way you live.
Walk out with a secure, fully fixed set of teeth within 24–48 hours after surgery — no removable dentures, no lengthy waiting period.
Enjoy the freedom to smile, eat, and speak naturally again — with a smile that feels like it’s truly yours.
Four to six strategically placed implants provide maximum stability with minimal surgery.
Implants under function help to maintain bone volume, preventing the sunken look that can occur after tooth loss.
Your new teeth are custom-designed to suit your facial features, proportions, and bite for a natural, harmonious result.
Due to the protocols, we can avoid procedures such as grafting that are time intensive, costly and require multiple appointments

Results vary between patients. A consultation with a registered dental practitioner is required to assess suitability, discuss risks, and set realistic expectations based on your circumstances. For more treatment and risks information, please visit:

At your first appointment, we will take time to understand your goals and assess your oral health.
Digital X-rays and a 3D CBCT scan are used to plan your implants precisely, ensuring optimal positioning and long-term stability.
During your procedure, any remaining teeth are gently removed, and four to six dental implants are placed in strategic positions.
This may be done under local anaesthetic or sedation for complete comfort.
Within 1–3 days of surgery, you’ll receive your temporary fixed bridge — a beautifully crafted set of acrylic teeth that let you smile, speak, and eat soft foods right away.
As your implants integrate with the bone, your gums and tissues reshape naturally around the new foundation.
During this time, you’ll enjoy your temporary bridge while your permanent set of teeth is designed.
After healing, we take detailed final digital scans to create your final titanium-reinforced bridge, offering maximum strength, longevity, and aesthetics.
This stage usually takes 2–3 appointments. At the end your final bridge is precisely fitted and adjusted to your bite, ensuring comfort, balance, and natural beauty.
Absolutely. Many patients transition from dentures to fixed bridges for greater comfort, stability, and aesthetics.
We can evaluate your bone and gum health to determine the best plan for your upgrade.
In most cases, yes. Within 24–48 hours, a fixed temporary bridge is fitted to your implants.
This lets you leave with a complete, natural-looking smile while your final ceramic bridge is being planned and fabricated.
Unlike removable dentures, All-on-4 bridges are fixed via prosthetic screws to implants.
They feel stable and secure, don’t shift when you speak or eat, and allow you to bite and chew with confidence.
Yes — even though your new teeth are fixed, oral hygiene remains essential.
Just like natural teeth, All-on-4 bridges require daily cleaning and regular check-ups to prevent gum inflammation or infection around the implants.
There’s no difference in hygiene commitment between maintaining natural teeth and maintaining implants — both require care and consistency.
You can expect some mild tenderness for a few days after surgery, but most patients return to normal activities within a week.
We prescribe plenty of medication so that post-operative symptoms will be well controlled.
The implants fully integrate over 4–6 months, during which your temporary bridge supports both healing and confidence.
It depends on how well it’s cared for — much like how long a car lasts depends on its maintenance. The implants themselves are designed to be a long-term foundation, and with excellent hygiene, regular reviews, and professional care, they can last for a long time.
The bridge (the teeth that attach to the implants) will experience normal wear over time and may need periodic servicing, repairs, or eventual replacement — just as a car needs servicing to stay at its best.
The key is consistency. Daily cleaning, routine check-ups, and maintenance visits are what keep your investment performing beautifully for the long term.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic or sedation, so you won’t feel any discomfort during treatment.
Afterwards, mild soreness is easily managed with prescribed medication.
“All-on-4” refers to using four implants per arch, while “All-on-X” simply means more than four (often five or six) are used for additional support — depending on bone structure and treatment needs.
This treatment is ideal for patients who are missing all or most of their teeth, or whose remaining teeth are failing and cannot support traditional restorations.
If you’ve been told you need dentures, All-on-4 may be a life-changing fixed alternative.
Yes. Every All-on-4 case is designed with your facial structure in mind — the shape, shade, and contours are customised to complement your features for a lifelike, confident smile.
