About All-on-4® Dental Implants

Next Smile Australia offers the most advanced All-on-4® Dental Implant solution globally, restoring smiles with natural looking teeth and clinically proven outcomes.

Unlike dentures, All-on-4® Dental Implants will not slip or click out of place, instead they feel permanent because they are, giving you the comfort of a long term permanent solution.

At Next Smile Australia we use the Malo Protocol, which is a two bridge treatment process pioneered by Dr Paulo Malo. What this means for you is a reassuringly predictable outcome - a bright, confident new smile. The impressive 98% success rate* of the Malo Protocol is supported by over 25 years of clinical data.

Dubbo Dental

As a Next Smile Australia All-on-4® patient of Dubbo Dental, you will only need to attend the Next Smile Sydney All-on-4® Super Clinic on the day of your surgery. Your trusted Accredited Partner dentist, Dr Ryan Heggie, and Next Smile Australia Sydney dental surgeon, Dr Larry Benge, work together to evaluate your individual situation and determine which treatment solution is best suited for you.  

This partnership ensures Dubbo patients benefit from all the surgical experience and expertise of Next Smile Australia Sydney surgeon Dr Larry Benge, with the convenience of having nearly all your appointments (apart from the day of your surgery) in Dubbo.

Your All-on-4® Dental Implant treatment journey

Step 1: All-on-4® consultation

The first exciting step towards the smile of your life, you will meet with our highly skilled Accredited Partner Dentist Dr Ryan Heggie at Dubbo Dental and deep dive into your dental and health background in a judgement-free space.  

Dr Heggie will assess your situation, personal goals and suitability for All-on-4® treatment, and talk you through the truly transformative process. Scans of your jawbone, digital impressions and photographic imaging will provide a complete picture of the current state of your smile, and the possibilities to come.

Step 2: Diagnosis and treatment preparation

The results of your consultation are assessed by Dr Heggie and Next Smile Australia Sydney All-on-4® Super Clinic Surgeon Dr Larry Benge, and a personal diagnosis is delivered about your suitability for All-on-4® Dental Implants. A tailor-made treatment plan that perfectly meets your needs and preferences is prepared for you.  

Next Smile Australia Labs will now start the process of crafting your new provisional teeth based on your scans and impressions so that they will be ready for fitting within 24 hours of your surgery but often on the same day of surgery.

Step 3: All-on-4® surgery

The day of your surgery will take place at the Next Smile Australia Sydney All-on-4® Super Clinic and will be performed by Dr Larry Benge. It will be a day you will remember as both a powerful and pivotal moment in your life. 

Using four of the clinically proven All-on-4® Speedy Groovy Dental Implants designed by Nobel Biocare, Dr Benge will surgically insert these into your jaw, providing a foundation for your new smile.

Upon waking your implants will have been placed and your provisional teeth inserted within 24 hours, but often as little as 4 hours after waking. So you can walk out a changed person, ready to eat, live, laugh and smile.

Step 4: Post surgery

Whilst you are enjoying living life with your new provisional teeth, Next Smile Australia Labs are manufacturing and refining your new final teeth to your exact preferences. 

An important part of your Next Smile Australia All-on-4® treatment, as per the MALO Protocol, is the assessment of your healing, health and stability of your new placed implants. These unique steps help us to achieve the industry leading 98% success rate* our patients enjoy. 

With try in fittings of your new final teeth to check for optimal fit, shape preference and appearance, your beautiful life-like final teeth will be fitted for you to enjoy for a lifetime of smiles. All post-surgical steps are undertaken at Dubbo Dental.

Step 5: Aftercare

Carefully following all aftercare instructions provided by Dubbo Dental and your Next Smile Australia team is an important step in the MALO protocol and will give you the understanding and assurance you need as you embark on the transformation of a lifetime.

This important 3rd step of the MALO Protocol will ensure your most predictable All-on-4® Dental Implant outcome*.

Unlike your natural teeth, dental implants will not be prone to tooth decay, but they still require you to keep up good regular oral hygiene and regular professional cleaning. Combined, this care will see your All-on-4® dental implants last you a life-time.  

Next Smile Australia’s commitment to safety and patient care is backed by their All-on-4® Warranty.
