When choosing your All-on-4 clinic, it pays to do your research and be *very* selective. After all, All-on-4 is a permanent and irreversible procedure. You want to be sure your smile is in the safest and most experienced hands possible, right?
Unfortunately, it’s quite difficult to rely on All-on-4 clinic reviews to make your decision. Why? Because in Australia, dental professionals legally cannot share patient reviews of procedures on their websites.
But there are a few key questions you can ask your potential All-on-4 dental clinic to determine whether they’re the best team to carry out your treatment.
To help you make a more informed decision, we’ve outlined 7 key factors you should consider when choosing your All-on-4 dental implant clinic.
While many clinics may use the term ‘All-on-4’, the truth is that they may not actually be using the specialised All-on-4 components from Nobel Biocare. Instead, some clinics use copy-cat components made by implant manufacturers that simply don’t have the long term research and proven track record for this procedure. If you see variations such as ‘on 4 procedure’, ‘teeth on 4’ or ‘bridge on 4’, there’s a high chance you won’t be receiving genuine Nobel Biocare components — and therefore, you won’t be receiving the genuine All-on-4 treatment.
Sure, using cheaper, copy-cat products may bring down the cost of All-on-4 treatment — but beware: the long term implications may not be worth it! This is why it pays to confirm that the All-on-4 clinic you choose is using the correct components, not imitation.
Dental Implants on Miller is recognised as an All-on-4 Center of Excellence by Nobel Biocare. This means we have the necessary surgical experience and training to offer the authentic All-on-4 treatment concept and only use genuine Nobel Biocare components in our All-on-4 procedures. With us, you can rest assured that you’ll receive the best products available.
You may be shocked to learn that dentists (even those offering All-on-4) don’t have to complete additional university training to perform dental implant surgery. What’s more surprising is that many dentists undertake weekend courses to learn dental implant procedures. Feeling a little uneasy about this info? We don’t blame you!
But that’s not something you’ll need to worry about at Dental Implants on Miller. Dr Daniel Adamo has completed post-graduate education in dental implants — specifically, a Graduate Diploma in Clinical Dentistry (Oral Implants) at the University of Sydney. Daniel chose to undertake this additional training in dental implants because he wanted his patients to receive the best care and experience when restoring their smiles.
Don’t just ask your potential All-on-4 dental clinic about how many years they’ve been performing this procedure — ask them to show you the longest patient follow-ups they have available.
Why is longevity so important for All-on-4 treatment? Here’s the thing: Anyone can show you work that looks good after a few months. But the true mark of a great All-on-4 clinic is work that has stood the test of time. Be sure to ask for lots of All-on-4 before and after images and don’t be afraid to ask if you can speak to a previous patient about their experience with the procedure, aftercare, cleaning and more.
Dr Adamo has been placing and restoring dental implants for over 20 years. And he’s been almost exclusively performing All-on-4 procedures for over 12 years. That equates to thousands of smiles that he’s restored with All-on-4.
It’s worth checking that your All-on-4 clinic will use the highest quality materials — for example, you want to make sure they’re using Nobel Biocare implants, which have a lifetime warranty.
On top of that, you should also ensure that the laboratory your All-on-4 dentist works with has experience with dental implants and uses the best materials.
Look for high-impact Ivoclar Vivadent acrylic and high-end Phonares teeth — these will be longer-lasting and withstand greater pressure than cheaper, low-quality materials.
These should be made with precision from computer-generated CAD/CAM, with a custom milled and designed titanium sub-structure.
Be sure to ask your All-on-4 clinic to outline the products they will use for your dental implants and tooth bridge in your treatment plan. Often, you’ll find the cheapest All-on-4 quotes have cut costs by using cheaper products.
This is an important question to clarify because many All-on-4 dental implant clinics don’t use qualified medical doctors to administer sedation.
At our All-on-4 clinic in Sydney, your sedation will be administered and supervised by Dr Simon Furber, who is a qualified medical practitioner with additional training in sedation treatment.
All-on-4 dental implant clinics that carry out this procedure regularly must be purposefully designed for it. This means they must have all the right products on hand, special chairs for sedation, well-equipped surgical rooms and dedicated recovery suites. Trying to undertake an All-on-4 procedure in a regular dental surgery will *not* provide the best patient experience.
Our Sydney All-on-4 clinic has been purpose-built for this procedure — and every detail was designed with your comfort in mind. Not only that but our entire team is experienced with and trained in All-on-4 treatment. They know this procedure like the back of their hand so you’ll feel completely taken care of and supported the whole way.
Every smile is unique. So, when choosing your All-on-4 implant clinic in Sydney, you’ll want to find a clinic that offers a number of tooth bridge options to suit your desired aesthetic outcome, as well as your budget.
At Dental Implants on Miller, we offer three All-on-4 tooth bridge options to suit your desired look and budget. From our introductory Elements model to our premium Prestige model, each tooth bridge is carefully crafted to provide a beautiful, natural result.
