What Is an All-on-4?

The All-on-4 dental implant system is a full-arch restoration technique that uses just four strategically placed implants to support a complete set of replacement teeth (custom-made fixed bridge) on the upper or lower jaw. This innovative procedure eliminates the need for one implant per missing tooth, making it a cost-effective and less invasive alternative to traditional implants.

Originally developed by Dr. Paulo Malo, a renowned implantologist from Portugal, in collaboration with Nobel Biocare®, All-on-4 has become a trusted solution for patients with extensive tooth loss or those whose remaining teeth are failing. The posterior implants are typically angled to maximize contact with available bone and stability, often eliminating the need for bone grafting—even in patients with bone loss.

Treatment generally involves one surgical appointment, after which a temporary, fixed prosthesis is attached. A final, permanent bridge is placed several months later. The result is a secure, natural-looking set of teeth that restores appearance, function and confidence.

All-on-4 dental implants are suitable for those seeking a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution to restore their smile—especially when done abroad in top destinations like the Philippines, where the quality of care meets international standards at a fraction of the cost.

Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants

This procedure provides many benefits:

– Looks and feels like your natural teeth

– Minimise the need for bone graft

– Easy maintenance 

– The replacement teeth are made from materials that mimic your natural teeth, improving your facial features, speech and chewing.

– Long-lasting

– Only one session of surgery required

Who Should Consider All-on-4 in the Philippines?

All-on-4 is ideal for patients with missing or failing teeth looking for a permanent solution without the need for removable dentures. Whether due to gum disease, injury, or ageing, this procedure can restore full function and aesthetics—especially for patients seeking low-cost dental implants in Southeast Asia.

A good candidate for All-on-4 dental implants is typically someone who has lost most or all of their teeth in the upper or lower jaw—or has teeth that are severely damaged or failing due to decay, trauma, or advanced gum disease. It’s also ideal for patients who currently wear full dentures but are looking for a more permanent solution that looks and feels like natural teeth.

Candidates should be in generally good health and free from conditions that impair healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes or certain autoimmune disorders. Good oral hygiene and a commitment to maintaining post-treatment care are also essential for long-term success. Additionally, the candidate should be a non-smoker or at least be willing to stop for several months. 

A full assessment, including digital imaging and medical evaluation, will be conducted by your dentist to determine if All-on-4 is the right solution for your individual needs.

How Much Are All-on-4 Implants in the Philippines Compared to Australia?

The cost of the treatment depends on the materials used, the specialisation of the dentist, and other factors, such as whether multiple teeth need to be extracted during surgery (making way for the implants).

The price for the All-on-4® treatment concept in the Philippines starts at around USD $6,740 (AUD $10,320; UK £4,900) per arch, compared to the US $27,000 (AUD $41,300; UK £19,700) per arch. 

[Note: these are estimated prices calculated at the time of writing. Please see our clinic listings for up-to-date prices.]

How Do I Maintain the Fixed Bridge?

The immediate set of teeth loaded onto the implants is lighter and designed to be replaced at a later stage. You will be given instructions on how to care for this and your implants; for instance, no brushing for the two weeks immediately following surgery (mouthwash only), and you'll need to stick to a diet of soft and semi-soft foods for around four months before the final fixed bridge is attached. 

After that, just keep up with your daily oral hygiene by brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash. Remember to get regular checkups and professional teeth cleaning.

What About the Quality of Dental Care in the Philippines?

In order to give the best patient care, clinics in the Philippines utilize state-of-the-art technology and advanced treatments. As members of organizations like the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) and even the American Dental Association, our listed dentists comply with the same industry standards as those in the US, Australia and Europe.

Feel free to ask questions and discuss your concerns, as a personalized treatment plan can be created to suit your needs and budget.
