Hi there. The question and conversation surrounding price is common, especially when affordability may be an issue. We have written an article which explains why dental implants are expensive in Australia, which you can view here: www.allon4plus.com.au/articles/cost-of-all-on-4-plus-what-am-i-paying-for.

Glad this video was helpful for you! Make sure to check out lots of our other videos :)

thankyou for you your comment! We know that it can be very difficult to discuss your dental history, especially if it has been difficult. We hope our videos can help you on your All On 4 Journey! We have lots of videos which help to explain common questions about the treatment and cleaning and care videos, if you need some extra guidance. Good luck!

Hi there, it is normal for patients to take a bit of time to get use to the new cleaning methods, especially flossing. X-floss is recommended as it is much thicker and has the harder tip therefore is easier to thread through. This is floss that is designed to be used specifically for implants and bridges. The floss threader can definitely help as it helps to place the floss easier than it would with your hands. We would recommend just sticking with it, and it will eventually become like second nature to you! We hope this video can help you :)

Hi there, All On 4 Plus is a permanent solution and is usually a one time surgery ( considering you look after your implants) therefore, given your situation which means you wouldn't have to deal with the constant upkeep of new treatments, which sounds like it could be an option for you. It's important to get a consultation so that we can assess if this would be the right solution for your current dental situation. If you are interested in booking a consultation with us, you can fill out the form here: www.allon4plus.com.au/contact

We have found that if patients use water flossers around the zygoma implants, it can cause an ingress of bacteria to travel up the zygoma, which can cause infection. This shouldn't be an issue as all the implants align in the bridge, even if they are zygoma implants. As we mentioned, You can use a water flosser on the bottom and just use x-floss and interdental brushes on the top if you have had zygoma. We explain this more in our 'how to clean' video here: th-cam.com/video/Drs0d6UO-T8/w-d-xo.html

Hi there, toothpaste is not needed for the actual cleaning of the teeth; using the x-floss, interdental brushes and waterpik ( note: don't use a waterpik on your top if you have had zygoma implants) is enough to keep your teeth and gums clean. However if you want to have the taste of toothpaste in your mouth ( some patients like to use toothpaste to have that clean, fresh feeling in their mouth) you can brush your teeth with toothpaste. HOWEVER you must make sure that it is a non-abrasive, non whitening/charcoal toothpaste. It must be a regular most basic toothpaste so that it does not ruin the prosthesis.

Hi there, At the patients initial consultation ( before surgery is planned) we take a CBCT so that we can see the bone density/previous dental history ( if you have had any other implants/ dental work before etc) so that we can determine the best course of action for you. We will be able to tell immediately what type of implants you will need ( eg. standard or zygoma) or if bone grafting is potentially needed etc. Sometimes, we cannot determine if a patient will need bone grafting or it will be 50/50 until we get into surgery. We might have to make that decision on the spot, however we always make the patient aware before that this is a possibility and the potential added cost that they should be aware of. As much as we plan for the type of surgery we will do, there is always a possibility that we get into surgery and the bone quality is worse than we expected etc.

Hi there, The Immediate Final Teeth are made out of acrylic, which is a strong material. When patients receive their Immediate Final Teeth, we make them aware that they must be on a soft diet for 4 months, which means they can't eat any sort of hard foods. Not only is this advised to help the healing of the implants but to help get patients used to the new biting force that they have. Breakages can occur if patients use their teeth in ways that we advise against, such as biting bottle caps, extremely hard foods that can them result in chipping or breakages. But these are usually uncommon, as people listen to the advice we give them. However the most common reason for breakages of because the patients biting force is too strong or they are heavy teeth grinders. In this case we would give the patient anti-clenching injections to see if this helps and if it does not, then the material of the teeth might have to be upgraded to zirconia, which is extremely durable and strong. But to answer your questions, breakages from bruxing ( teeth grinding) are relatively common in the first 6 months, but can be resolved with options that we have.

Thanks for your feedback! Please let us know if there are any other videos that you would be interested in seeing from us!

Hi there, you can view the breakdown of prices on our website here: www.allon4plus.com.au/dental-implants-costs. We have also created a video breaking down in depth the costs associated with All On 4 Plus treatment, which you can view here: th-cam.com/video/JttaagX5lTw/w-d-xo.html. We know that the question and conversation surrounding price is common, especially when affordability may be an issue. We offer a number of payment plans and finance options to give people the best chance of receiving the treatment, which you can view here: www.allon4plus.com.au/payment-options. We have a number of clinics located around Australia, which you can view here: www.allon4plus.com.au/locations.

Hi there, At All On 4 Plus, each individual patient gets to customise their own teeth. Everyone has different opinions on what they want their teeth to look like. However when we create our teeth, we try to create teeth that look as natural as possible. For us, this includes making the bottom of each tooth slightly more transparent and making the middle of the tooth and more up towards to gums more opaque. We have created a video showing how we make our teeth if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/n6ZPSmAwDHs/w-d-xo.html

Hi there, it is not possible for patients to take the teeth out without going to the dentist, as screws need to be undone etc to take the teeth off the implants. All On 4 Plus teeth are permanent, which means that they can't be removed ( without a dentists help) so it is completely normal to be cleaning them like you would regular teeth ( with a few minor differences). Using the x-floss, te-pe brushes and water flosser will clean your teeth and under the bridge well enough. When you come to your 6 monthly appointments, we may find that we will remove the bridges if you are in need of a good clean, but if you are cleaning your teeth as recommended by us, it's unlikely that we would need to take the teeth out at all! We hope this information helps :)

Hi there, breakages are most likely to happen within the first 3-6 months after getting your final teeth. 2 years is enough time for patients to understand how to properly look after their teeth/ for us to uncover any issues/problems that patients may be having, in fact this is usually uncovered within the first 6 months. If we find that a patient is grinding/clenching (usually will be discovered within the first 3 months after getting your teeth) than we can make the necessary changes at that time so that the issues don't progress further down the track. However it must be noted that a lot of this is dependent on the patient. If we discover that you have had a breakage due to a heavy bite/grinding, we will give you options of what you NEED to do to ensure that this stops happening, which may include anti-clenching injections or to wear a splint ( mouthguard). If patients do not take this advice and simply choose to ignore and their teeth keep breaking ( more than 2 times), then there comes a point where the repair for the breakages will no longer be covered even if they are within the 2 year period. At the end of the day, warranty's cannot be forever and patients do have the responsibility of looking after their teeth ( etc. avoid eating the recommended foods such as hard things or using your teeth to open things with that may cause chipping etc). The teeth have an average lifespan of 5-8 years. There is a lot to consider when it comes to this as it's not a one size fits all situation. There are other costs that may need to be paid for different situations during that 2 year period. Everyone will have different experiences/issues that arise when they have treatment but ALL of this is disclosed in the consultation, so people are aware of all the terms and conditions before they start treatment.

Hi there, thanks for your question. We have found that when patients (who have had zygoma implants) use a waterpik- bacteria can make it's way up into the zygoma. The soft tissue surrounding the upper area is thin and bacteria can be flushed in between the soft tissue and the site of the implant-. This is due to how the implant is positioned and the shape of it. Therefore overall this can cause an ingress of bacteria into the site and cause a fistula. Therefore at our clinic and with our patients, we strongly recommend our patients not to use it. However, you can use a waterpik on your lower all on 4 implants and you can use it on your upper implants IF you have had standard implants. We hope this information helped.

@@allon4clinics how can we clean the zygoma then?

@@montisaori3348 You would just clean it like you usually would without using the waterpik. This includes using x-floss, interdental (TePe) brushes and a regular toothbrush. We have created a video which explains how to clean your all on 4 plus dental implants in detail, which you can view here: th-cam.com/video/Drs0d6UO-T8/w-d-xo.html. In this video we also explain a little bit more about why waterpik's should not be used with zygoma implants.

Just because you didn't succeed doesn't mean it's not worth doing. I've been doing them for 2 months, I've done everything in six bottoms and tops and I'm doing great. It's true when you say that you can clean them more easily, but eating and speaking with fixed teeth is something else entirely. I am very scrupulous about hygiene, I brush my teeth after meals and use mouthwashes. In the morning I wake up without any odor in my mouth and never during the day do I notice any odor coming from my breath.My hairline turned out much better than what you see in the video and I don't need to do interdental cleaning.

@@carmelo-r2f you'll see you'll definitely see.

You really are very kind. Even though I don't have teeth either. People in my situation that want implants. It would be nice if they picked someone every month for free implants. As matter of fact if any dentist would do that. I would put my name in. Implants are not something I want dentures are what I want. But if I could help someone else get what they wanted I would.

Youre missing the point ​@@allon4clinics

Thanks for your feedback :) We hope your treatment goes well!

What place are you going to?

Hi there, we have created a cleaning video which explains how to properly clean your implants and around the immediate final teeth- which you can view here: th-cam.com/video/Drs0d6UO-T8/w-d-xo.html. In addition to the cleaning your teeth on your own- you can come to your dentist and get the underside of your bridge cleaned 3-6 months, which will ensure that no food/debris is left. However we give you all of the tools and techniques you need to ensure that your gums stay very clean- it's all about taking the time to clean them right. As we mentioned- our video attached should explain everything you need to know about cleaning- and if you have any other questions- we are always here to answer them :) You can also view more about this on our website here: www.allon4plus.com.au/articles/aftercare-and-maintenance

Hi there, The custom-milled titanium frame connects the implants to each other to work in a group to dissipate functional loads and to protect individual implants during the initial healing process when the implants are most vulnerable, as well as beyond. A rigid connection is not only advantageous but an important factor in the healing and success of immediate implants. This is why All-On-4 Plus features Immediate Final Teeth with a rigid titanium frame. You can watch our video about how we create our immediate final teeth and how they are placed 24 hours from surgery here: www.allon4plus.com.au/articles/how-all-on-4-plus-immediate-final-teeth-are-made
