Kirrawee Dentist Explains All On 4 Cost

Sensational Smiles Dental (SSD), based in Kirrawee, NSW, is helping patients decide how to ensure their All On 4 procedure is worth their investment. The clinic advises concerned parties to read more about it online or schedule a free consultation at SSD before choosing a dentist to proceed with.

All On 4 implants are used to replace as much as a patient’s entire set of teeth with four dental implants (hence the name). This procedure can restore a patient’s facial appearance and dental function, and it is notably effective with patients who were otherwise ineligible for traditional implants. It also boasts short recovery times (due to a minimally invasive approach) and is extremely convenient since the implants can be cared for in the same manner as real teeth.

“If you have several missing or damaged teeth, you may be a candidate for the All On 4 procedure,” states Sensational Smiles Dental. “The cause of the tooth loss is often not relevant; patients can be eligible for All On 4 if they lost their teeth due to gum disease, injury or even as a simple consequence of getting older. Typically, we would determine whether All On 4 is right for you after a comprehensive review, considering your medical history, X-rays of your lower face and so on.”

Assuming they pass this assessment, it then falls to the patient to decide whether they want to go through with the procedure. The clinic notes that many may hesitate here, despite it often being the best choice for their dental health, because they may not understand the factors that contribute to their All On 4 cost.

Making matters murkier, patients who do their research will quickly learn that certain clinics offer cheaper or more expensive rates for what appears to be the same procedure. This is why SSD strongly advises patients not to make their final decision based on cost alone, and they say this applies to both ends of the spectrum. Just as patients should be wary of the cheapest options, they may want to investigate further before settling for what they may assume is the best experience due to its heavy price.

Sensational Smiles Dental elaborates, “There are three core factors you need to examine before choosing your clinic and dentist: your dentist’s training, their experience and the quality of the materials that will be used in your procedure. If you were to call our office, this information would be readily provided to you. If you find a dentist who is not transparent about this information, it may be time to move on.”

The clinic says most dentists can learn to do the All On 4 procedure with a few short courses (building on their existing knowledge), but this does not mean they are fully trained in this specific field. Patients should make it a point to look for a dentist who has trained in implantology, taken comprehensive postgraduate courses and focused their career on dental implants. This would empower them to provide the best possible treatment.

Experience plays a similar role. No matter how much theoretical training a dentist has received, there is no tutor as effective as real-world practice. This is why patients should inquire whether their dentist undertakes implant surgery on a regular basis — and this should crucially include a variety of implant cases. Each patient is unique, and having a dentist with a broad spectrum of experience can reassure them that their individual needs will always be met.

Last but not least, the materials used in the All On 4 procedure can have a dramatic impact on the implants’ longevity, durability and so on. Again, patients should inquire directly about their dentist’s tools, including the quality of the implants and where they are manufactured. Ideally, the dentist can demonstrate that the implants they use comply with Australian safety regulations and are made from high-quality materials.

In the event the patient is satisfied with their dentist’s training, experience and tools, they can rest assured that they have the highest chance of achieving the best outcome in their All On 4 procedure.

Sensational Smiles Dental seeks to drive their practice with a superior patient experience, and part of this involves being transparent about their team’s capability as well as the quality of the equipment they use. The team’s foremost objective is to help patients be healthy and feel great about their smile.

As such, they warmly invite the community to schedule a free implant consultation today. This consultation is designed to give patients every opportunity to ask as many questions as they want and learn about the options at their disposal. Bookings can be made online (via the SSD website) or over the phone.
