Are you tired of loose-fitting dentures or the hassle of constantly removing them? Maybe you’ve lost most of your teeth and are looking for a permanent solution that feels more like your natural smile. If that sounds like you, it’s time to explore All-on-4 dental implants—an innovative and life-changing alternative to traditional dentures.

And here’s the good news: you don’t need to travel far for expert care. At Mandurah North Dental, you can get the best quality implant work done locally by Dr Desmond Ng, a highly skilled and experienced implant dentist dedicated to transforming smiles right here in Mandurah.

What Is All-on-4?

The All-on-4 technique is a modern dental implant solution that replaces an entire upper or lower set of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. These implants serve as anchors for a full arch of fixed, natural-looking teeth. It’s a streamlined alternative to placing an implant for every missing tooth and a far superior option compared to removable dentures.

Unlike traditional dentures, which can slip, rub, or fall out at inconvenient times, All-on-4 implants are secure, permanent, and incredibly lifelike.

How Does All-on-4 Work?

The All-on-4 procedure involves:

  1. Consultation and Planning – At Mandurah North Dental, Dr Desmond Ng will perform a thorough assessment, including 3D imaging, to determine bone density and create a precise treatment plan tailored to you.
  2. Implant Placement – Four dental implants are strategically placed in your jaw (two straight at the front and two angled at the back) to provide maximum support and stability.
  3. Temporary Teeth – In many cases, temporary teeth can be attached on the same day, so you walk out with a brand-new smile.
  4. Final Restoration – After a few months of healing, your permanent, custom-designed prosthetic is fitted. It looks, feels, and functions just like real teeth.

All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dentures

Let’s be honest—traditional dentures have their place, but they come with a long list of challenges:

  • They can slip or move while talking or eating
  • They may cause discomfort or sore spots
  • They often need adhesive to stay in place
  • Bone loss can occur over time due to lack of stimulation

In contrast, All-on-4 implants offer a permanent solution that feels more like your natural teeth. The implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to maintain facial structure and prevent the “sunken” look that often comes with denture wearers.

What About Single Tooth Loss?

If you’re only missing one or two teeth, a single tooth implant may be more appropriate than All-on-4. Single implants are also a permanent solution and blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth. Dr Desmond Ng provides both single implants and full-arch solutions, giving you multiple options under one roof.

Whether it’s one tooth or a whole set, you’ll get the best quality implant and care tailored to your needs at Mandurah North Dental.

Why Choose All-on-4 in Mandurah?

Many people assume they need to travel to Perth or even interstate for complex implant work. The truth is, you can get world-class treatment right here in Mandurah.

At Mandurah North Dental, Dr Desmond Ng offers:

  • Decades of experience in implant and restorative dentistry
  • State-of-the-art technology for precision and comfort
  • Personalised care from start to finish
  • A local solution—no need to travel for specialist treatment

Whether you’re replacing traditional dentures or starting fresh, All-on-4 implants in Mandurah can help you regain your smile, confidence, and quality of life—without leaving your community.

Who Is a Good Candidate for All-on-4?

All-on-4 is suitable for most adults who:

  • Have lost most or all of their teeth
  • Have failing teeth due to decay or gum disease
  • Are frustrated with removable dentures
  • Want a permanent, natural-looking smile
  • Have adequate jawbone (or are suitable for minor bone grafting)

Even if you've been told you’re not a candidate for traditional implants due to bone loss, All-on-4 may still be an option due to its unique implant placement technique.

What’s the Recovery Like?

Recovery from All-on-4 dental implants is generally quicker than traditional implants. Most patients experience mild swelling and discomfort for a few days, which can be managed with medication. You’ll be given a temporary set of teeth during the healing phase so you won’t be left without a smile.

After a few months, once the implants have fused with the jawbone, your permanent teeth will be fitted—and you’ll be able to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence.
