These are required when a person has All teeth missing (no teeth)
A full arch implant-supported bridge prosthesis also called a full arch reconstruction, replaces the entire dentition (all the teeth) on either the upper or lower jaws, or both. Missing teeth are replaced with a full dental bridge using only four or six implants in each jaw.
You may have heard of this procedure as an “all-on-4” or “all-on-6” dental implant-based reconstruction.
These dental implants can safely support a whole arch of permanent, natural-looking artificial teeth.
An advantage of this procedure is that it does not require bone grafting, as some of the implants are inserted on an angle. Therefore it is suitable for patients who may not have the required bone density for multiple individual dental implants.
The prosthesis (bridge) can be made out of ceramic or acrylic, and may or may not include natural-looking artificial gum depending on a number of factors (including how much bone height is available).
If you are interested in implant-supported bridges, we at Whitehills Dental Practice offer FREE CONSULTATIONS to see if they could be right for you. At these consultations we provide general advice and cost estimates. There is no obligation for you to on-book or continue treatment.
If you would like to proceed, the next step is a comprehensive consultation. This involves a full examination of your dentition (teeth) and digital radiographs (X-rays) including an OPG (orthopantomogram) and a 3D Cone Beam CT scan. This will allow us to assess a number of factors including your bone structure and bone density to see if dental implants could be a viable option for you. We will explain all available treatment options and provide a full itemised treatment plan for your consideration.
Implant-supported bridge
Prior to the procedure:
Depending on the jawbone condition, a bone graft, or bone graft and sinus lift, may be required prior to implant placement to ensure implant vitality. If required these procedures can be performed by our experienced dentists in our surgery.
We can place all your dental implants in the same appointment.
The titanium implant screws are surgically inserted into your jawbone. Healing caps will be placed over the dental implants to allow the soft tissue (gum) to heal around the area.
Once placed, the implants are allowed time to osseointegrate (attach to the natural bone).
At this appointment, the healing caps will be replaced with healing abutments. Healing abutments allow the gum to form ‘collars’ around the base of the crown (teeth) area.
Temporary teeth will be provided over the healing abutment for you to wear for the remainder of the healing process. Depending on your particular case we will use either a composite dental bridge, a partial denture or suck-down retainer. The temporary teeth will look natural and will be matched to your existing teeth colour.
At your impression appointment, the healing abutments and temporary teeth will be briefly removed, and an impression coping will be placed on the implants.
Impressions of the dental implants and surrounding teeth will be taken. These impressions will be sent to a dental laboratory to manufacture your final abutments and ceramic dental bridge.
The healing abutments and temporary teeth will be replaced at the end of the appointment.
Once your final abutments and ceramic dental bridge have been received from the dental lab, you will attend a cementation appointment. The healing abutments and temporary teeth will be removed, and your final abutments will be attached.
We will then check the abutments and final dental bridge for fit, and make sure you are comfortable and happy with the result. Once confirmed, your permanent ceramic bridge will be cemented onto the abutments.

We will then restore the screw-retained dental crowns with composite material over the screw covers, so they blend in seamlessly.

All on 4: The All on 4 & All on 6 techniques have allowed us to provide fixed teeth to people who had lost ALL of their teeth and used to wear complete-dentures. This is a life-changing treatment, and the huge cost most certainly is more than justified by the transformation it can bring to peoples’ lives.
Having worked as a dentist since 1999, I have had the opportunity to serve in a vast variety of dental-practices. Having accumulated a huge amount of experience of the ‘good’, ‘not so good’ and out rightly ‘bad’ services and experiences which are provided to our patients in this industry, I am trying to attempt to change the perception and opinion that people have about ‘The Dentist’.
It is sad that Dentists have managed to earn so much hatred over the years, and are a feared species in today’s society.
This needs to change…..
We are trying to make our humble, but sincere effort towards thus noble cause.
Besides general dentistry , I like to do wisdom tooth extractions , Smile makeovers , Replacement of missing teeth using various techniques including implants and full mouth rehabilitation. I especially like to treat elders who are missing teeth. To me, there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing the smile on their faces after they get back their missing teeth
I have a special interest in implant dentistry as well as specific training for this from the prestige Royal College of Surgeons of England which is called as- Diploma in implant dentistry, Royal college of surgeons of England.
I’m a local Bendigo girl who has been here all my life, I love spending time with my family and friends. Having experience as a Medical receptionist, I am very excited to create a new career in the Dental world.
