Wanting to know more about the risks associated with All-on-4 dental implants and what the surgery entails? Continue reading as we provide a detailed breakdown of both the procedure and its potential risks.

What are All On 4 dental implants?

All-on-4 dental implants offer a fixed solution for patients suffering from extensive dental issues or complete tooth loss. 

This procedure involves placing four strategically positioned implants in the jaw, which serve as a foundation for a full arch of prosthetic teeth. 

All On 4 is essentially complete tooth replacement, as it involves the removal of all natural teeth, in order to place the implants. It is considered a complex procedure, which is why the experience of your treating dentist and their team is so important.

How can All On 4 implants help people?

The All-on-4 method is particularly beneficial for patients who have lost significant bone volume in their jaws and may not be suitable candidates for traditional implants without bone grafting. This is because the four implants can be carefully placed in areas where the bone usually resorbs, and be angled strategically to hold a new set of teeth. 

By using fewer implants, the All-on-4 procedure reduces complexity, treatment time, and often, the cost compared to a full set of individual implants.

What are the All On 4 dental implants risks?

The All On 4 procedure is one of the most complex procedures one can get, so it does carry its own set of risks. These include:

1. Permanent and irreversible

Once you receive this treatment, there is no turning back. Whether the patient has no existing teeth, or is getting natural teeth removed, once the implants have been fixed, they are there for life.

2. Implant failure

Although implant failures are quite rare, there’s a small chance (about 3-5%) that the implant might not settle properly within the first few months. This risk increases if you have certain health issues like diabetes, if you smoke, or if you tend to grind or clench your teeth a lot. It’s really important to talk about these risks during your consultation. If you smoke, for example, quitting before your surgery can help lower the risk.

If an implant fails, it’s important to address the issue within the first 3 to 4 months so that it can be replaced by your dentist. Delaying replacement for 6 to 12 months can lead to more serious complications such as bone loss and infection, which might spread and jeopardise other implants. This can make further treatment difficult or even impossible. That’s why regular maintenance visits are crucial to check on the success of the implants and to catch any problems early.

A risk of getting All-on-4 dental implants overseas is the lack of follow-up care. If an implant fails after you’ve returned home, you might not have any scheduled maintenance or follow-up appointments. Without regular checks, there’s a higher risk of implant failure going unnoticed.

3. It is a complicated surgery

This procedure is complex, regardless of the amount of preparation and planning involved. That’s why the experience of the dental team is crucial, as it significantly enhances the success rate. Even minor adjustments during the surgery can greatly impact the outcome. Teams with more experience in these procedures tend to pay closer attention to details, which greatly contributes to a successful result.

4. Being unprepared for bridge replacement

Dental implants are made up of two main components: the implant that is anchored into the bone and the bridge, which is the part that looks like your teeth. The bridge is exposed daily to varying temperatures, chewing, bacteria, and grinding, making regular maintenance and cleaning essential. Depending on the material used, bridges can last between 5 to 7 years. It’s important for patients to be aware of the ongoing costs associated with maintaining both the implant and the bridge, including the potential need for bridge replacement.

5. Being unprepared for ongoing maintenance

Regular maintenance of both teeth and implants is essential. It’s important to have a maintenance check every six months. These appointments can range from minor upkeep to more significant maintenance every two years, during which the bridges are removed, cleaned, and the implants are tightened if needed.

6. Rushed planning impacting bite, function and aesthetics

If the bridges are poorly crafted or the implants are incorrectly positioned, resulting in bridges that are too thick, patients may experience difficulty pronouncing certain words. This underscores the importance of careful planning in smile design and bite analysis before the procedure. Such preparation ensures the implants function properly and look aesthetically pleasing for the patient.

What is involved with the All On 4 surgical process?

Understanding what happens during the All On 4 process can often help to alleviate some of the anxiety associated with the procedure. Here’s what to expect:

1. Initial consultation

During the first visit, the dentist conducts a thorough examination of the patient’s oral health, which typically includes dental X-rays, 3D scans, and photos. This helps in assessing the bone density and volume, and health of the gum tissue, crucial for implant placement, and in planning the procedure. It is also really important for the patient to have all their questions and concerns answered, and a thorough understanding of the risks involved.

2. Treatment planning

Using the data collected during the consultation, the dentist or oral surgeon plans the precise placement of the four dental implants. Diagnostic photos are also used to complete the smile design. This phase often involves software simulations to determine the optimal positions for the implants.

3. Preparation

Before the surgery, patients may be advised on preoperative preparations such as fasting, stopping certain medications, and protocols for anaesthesia. The patient will choose a responsible carer to pick them up from their surgery and care for them as they recover. 

4. Surgical procedure

The surgery is performed under IV sedation, and sedation is carried out by a Specialist Anaethetist.

• Teeth extraction: If the patient has remaining teeth where the implants will be placed, these are extracted.
• Implant placement: The dentist makes incisions in the gum to expose the jawbone where the implants will be inserted. Four implants are placed strategically in areas with the best bone volume—two in the anterior (front) and two angled in the posterior (back) to maximise use of available bone.

Once the surgery is complete, the patient’s companion will speak to the dentist and be able to take the patient home to rest and recover.

5. Bridge (teeth component) inserted

The day after the surgery, a set of 3D printed teeth are inserted to test the aesthetics, bite, and speech. The patient then goes home again to rest, while the final design adjustments are made, and will come back two days later to have their bridge inserted. 

6. Healing period

Patients will attend a 1 week appointment to check everything is healing well. Most patients return to work the week after their surgery. However, any potential swelling or bruising will ease in the first fortnight post-surgery, so some may choose to take a little longer off to be fully comfortable.

Over the following four months, the implants bond with the jawbone, a critical phase for the stability of the implants. Patients are usually advised on dietary restrictions (such as a soft food diet – food you can cut with a spoon) and oral hygiene practices to aid healing and prevent complications.

At around the 4 month post-surgery mark, the implants should be fully healed. An x-ray will be taken to confirm this. If confirmed, the patient will be signed-off and go into your regular maintenance phase including normal diet and ongoing hygiene and checkups.

7. Follow-up and maintenance

Follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor the implants and the overall health of the patient’s smile. Regular check-ups and maintenance (6-monthly cleans and 2-yearly removals) are crucial to the long-term success of All-on-4 implants.

Have more questions?

While the decision to undergo All-on-4 dental implant surgery is significant, understanding the process and knowing you are in capable hands can provide immense reassurance. 

We invite you to reach out to our friendly team at Advanced Dental Artistry with your questions or to schedule a consultation. 

Gum disease, or periodontitis, is an inflammatory condition affecting the tissues around your teeth, primarily caused by plaque buildup. If untreated, it can erode the bone that supports your teeth, leading to tooth loss and further health complications.

Periodontal disease is linked to bacteria that thrive in the periodontal ligament, the tissue that sits between the tooth and its socket. This means periodontal disease only affects natural teeth. Once a tooth is removed, the disease goes with it.

To read more, check out our blogs on What Causes Poor Oral Health and The Connection Between Oral Health and General Health. 

Image: stages of gum disease

What if I have bone loss caused by periodontitis? 

In some cases of severe periodontitis, the bone in the jaw may have eroded too much to support implants. This makes it crucial to catch and treat periodontitis early to increase the chances of a successful implant treatment.

At our clinic, we conduct thorough bone scans for all patients to determine their suitability for All-On-4 dental implants.

How All-on-4 dental implants improve oral health

If determined there is enough bone structure to support implants, the All-on-4 implant procedure offers a transformative solution for those with cases of periodontitis. During this procedure, all the teeth on the affected arch are removed, eliminating the periodontal disease entirely, as it cannot persist without natural teeth.

All-on-4 implants involve placing four strategically positioned implants in the jawbone to support a full arch of replacement teeth. This technique provides a stable, long-term solution, improving both dental function and overall oral health.

Key benefits of All-on-4 implants include:

• Easier maintenance and greater comfort compared to traditional dentures
• Healthy, natural-looking teeth
• Prevention of further bone loss and maintenance of jawbone density
• Potential reduction in facial wrinkles caused by bone loss

Can you get All-On-4 dental implants with gum disease?

Yes, All-on-4 can be a viable solution for individuals with gum disease, but only in some cases. Since periodontal disease affects only natural teeth, it is entirely removed during the All-on-4 procedure when the teeth are extracted. 

However as mentioned, the extent of damage caused by the disease and the availability of sufficient bone to support the implants are critical factors on whether a person can go ahead with an All-on-4 procedure. There may be options for bone grafting in the case of bone loss, but this is assessed on a case-by-case basis. 

At Advanced Dental Artistry, we thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and bone structure using advanced diagnostic tools and scans to determine if you’re a candidate for All-on-4 implants. If necessary, we will address any oral health issues, such as bone loss, before proceeding with the implant procedure.

What’s involved in an All-on-4 dental consultation?

To determine your suitability for All-on-4 implants, especially if you have a history of gum disease, we conduct a comprehensive dental examination, which includes bone scans. This includes assessing the extent of periodontal damage, evaluating bone density, and ensuring overall oral health. We also make sure you are fully aware of the risks associated with All-on-4 so you are fully informed before your procedure. 

Key factors we consider include:

• The severity of gum disease and its impact on bone structure
• Your overall health and readiness for oral surgery
• The potential for stabilising gum health before implant placement

Treatment planning and preparatory steps for All-on-4 implants

For patients with active gum disease, it’s crucial to treat the condition before undergoing the All-on-4 procedure. At Advanced Dental Artistry, we either provide periodontal treatment in-house or refer you to a trusted specialist to stabilise your gum health.

Key preparatory steps include:

• Periodontal treatment: Essential to manage and stabilise gum health. This may involve deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), antibiotic therapy, or other procedures to reduce infection and inflammation.
• Bone grafting (if needed): After stabilising gum health, we may perform bone grafting to ensure there is sufficient bone density for implant placement, providing a solid foundation for the implants and enhancing the chances of long-term success.

Aftercare: preventing peri-implantitis

After receiving All-on-4 dental implants, proper aftercare is crucial to prevent peri-implantitis, a condition that can develop if implants are not well-maintained. While peri-implantitis is not linked to periodontal disease, it is directly related to patient behaviour, particularly neglecting oral hygiene.

To help our patients avoid this condition, we place great emphasis on establishing good oral hygiene habits. This includes teaching patients how to clean their implants thoroughly and ensuring that their dental bridge is well-designed for ease of maintenance. Regular check-ups and professional cleanings are also essential for maintaining implant health and preventing any complications.

By following these guidelines and maintaining a consistent care routine, patients can enjoy the long-term success of their All-on-4 dental implants.

How to ensure long-term success with All-on-4 implants

After receiving All-on-4 implants, maintaining excellent oral hygiene is crucial, especially for patients with a history of gum disease. Developing great habits and regular dental check-ups are vital to prevent peri-implantitis, a condition linked to poor oral hygiene rather than periodontal disease.

Tips for long-term success:

• Floss and brush your teeth regularly, paying special attention to the areas around your implants.
• Use water flossers to dislodge food particles trapped between your tooth bridge and gums.
• Schedule regular professional cleanings and check-ups to monitor implant stability and overall oral health.

Dental implants have become a popular solution for replacing missing teeth, offering a durable and aesthetically pleasing option. Essentially, a dental implant is a titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root, topped with an abutment and a crown to mimic the look and function of a natural tooth.

Why is there so much pricing variability between clinics for dental implants?

The cost of dental implants can vary significantly. This variability is influenced by several factors, including the material of the implants, the technology used, the surgeon’s experience, and the clinic’s location. In Perth, prices can range broadly, and it’s essential to understand what you’re paying for.

Components of dental implant pricing

The total cost of dental implants includes more than just the implant itself. Key components of the pricing are:

• The implant, abutment, and crown: These are the physical parts of the implant. High-quality materials can be more costly but are crucial for durability and biocompatibility.
• Surgical fees: The expertise of the surgeon and the complexity of the procedure can influence costs. Surgeons with extensive experience may charge more but also tend to offer higher success rates, due to their ability to manage complex cases.
• Sedation options: Depending on the complexity of the surgery and patient comfort, various sedation methods may be used, affecting the overall cost.
• Ongoing maintenance: It is important to attend regular checkups and hygiene appointments with your practitioner to ensure the health and longevity of your treatment, but depending on the clinic these costs may sometimes be hidden or ignored.

The choice of materials and the provider’s expertise are paramount. Using state-of-the-art technology and high-quality materials improves the success rate and longevity of the implants.

What are the risks associated with cheaper alternatives?

Opting for lower-cost alternatives can be tempting, but it’s vital to consider the potential risks. 

Cheaper implants may be of lower quality or improperly placed if the provider is less experienced. These issues can lead to complications such as implant failure, infection, or the need for additional surgeries, which can significantly increase the long-term costs.

If you are searching for the most affordable dental implants, it is important that you do your research and weigh up whether the risks are worth the lower upfront cost. 

Ongoing maintenance and hygiene costs

Dental implants require regular maintenance, much like natural teeth. This includes daily cleaning and regular dental check-ups, and you should be made aware of these costs upfront. 

High-quality implants may have slightly higher initial costs but typically require less maintenance over time compared to cheaper alternatives, which might need more frequent repairs or replacements.

The consequences of neglecting oral health

Neglecting oral health doesn’t just stop at discomfort or the occasional toothache; it sets off a cascade of potential health issues that can significantly affect your life. From the onset of gum disease, characterised by swollen, bleeding gums, to the more severe consequences of tooth decay and even tooth loss, the repercussions are far-reaching. These conditions can drastically alter your smile and, consequently, how you see yourself and interact with the world. 

Moreover, this neglect can trigger a vicious cycle that’s challenging to break free from. The longer dental issues are left unaddressed, the more severe they become, and the fear of facing potentially painful or complex dental procedures can become overwhelming. 

This anxiety not only delays seeking much-needed treatment but can also worsen the condition, making eventual treatment more extensive and, ironically, more daunting. It’s a cycle that feeds into itself – fear leading to delay, delay leading to worsening conditions, and worsening conditions leading back to increased fear. Breaking this cycle is essential, and it begins with understanding the importance of regular dental care and the advancements in dental technology designed to make treatments as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Understanding the causes

Poor oral health can be attributed to a variety of factors:

Not cleaning teeth properly

One of the primary culprits of poor oral health is not cleaning teeth effectively. Plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, forms on the teeth and gums and can harden into tartar if not removed properly though brushing. Over time, this can lead to gum disease and tooth decay, reinforcing the need for regular brushing and flossing.

Lifestyle factors

Diet plays a significant role in oral health. Sugary and acidic foods can erode tooth enamel and promote decay. Smoking not only discolours teeth but can also increase the risk of gum disease and oral cancer. Additionally, avoiding regular dental check-ups prevents the early detection and treatment of problems, leading to more complex issues down the line.

Psychological barriers

Dental anxiety is a common barrier to seeking treatment. Fear of pain, embarrassment about the condition of one’s teeth, or concerns about cost can all deter individuals from visiting the dentist. 

At Advanced Dental Artistry we truly understand how daunting dental fears can be. It’s deeply important to us that you feel heard and reassured. Please know that modern dentistry has evolved with your comfort in mind, offering solutions that are personalised and gentle. At our clinic, your comfort is our number one priority, and we’re here to walk you through every step, ensuring you feel safe and supported.

Genetics

Unfortunately genetics do play a role in your risk of developing gum disease. Research shows that if gum disease runs in your family, you might be more at risk, even with good oral hygiene. This highlights why knowing your personal risk factors and working closely with a dentist is so crucial. It’s about taking proactive steps to protect your oral health, acknowledging that everyone’s dental needs are unique.

The importance of addressing dental issues early

Addressing dental issues early can prevent the escalation into more severe problems that require extensive and costly treatment – Dr. Adrian speaks to the Canberra Times about this very issue.

Routine dental check-ups allow for the early detection of potential issues, making them easier to treat.

Preventive measures and tips to maintain good oral health

Here are some tips to keep your teeth and gums healthy through everyday habits:

• Regular brushing and flossing: Brush at least twice a day and floss daily to remove plaque and prevent tartar buildup.
• Healthy diet: Limit sugary and acidic foods and drinks to protect your enamel.
• Quit smoking and/or vaping: Give up tobacco and vaping to improve oral health and reduce the risk of gum disease and oral cancer.
• Regular dental check-ups: Visit your dentist every six months for a check-up and professional cleaning.

Teeth whitening has quickly become one of the most sought-after cosmetic dental procedures, thanks to its promise of a quick and noticeable improvement in one’s appearance. The appeal of a brighter and whiter smile is undeniable in our visually driven world.

However, the vast array of whitening options available can be confusing, leading many to wonder which path to a brighter smile is the most effective and safe.

What colour are teeth supposed to be?

Natural teeth are not meant to be pure white. The normal colour of teeth varies and can range from light yellow to light gray shades. This variation is due to the dentin underneath the enamel; dentin is typically a yellowish or grayish colour, which can show through the translucent enamel. 

Factors such as genetics, age, and certain lifestyle choices (like diet and smoking) can influence the exact shade of one’s teeth. It’s important to have realistic expectations and understand that a healthy smile doesn’t necessarily mean having stark white teeth.

Nevertheless, many of us desire teeth that are a brighter shade—not stark white, but a more radiant tone than our current one.

The impact of a brighter smile

A brighter smile can be a powerful tool in personal and professional settings. It can making you more willing to smile, which in turn makes you appear more approachable and friendly. 

The desire for these positive outcomes drives individuals to explore various teeth whitening solutions, from over-the-counter DIY kits to professional treatments.

What are the dangers of DIY teeth whitening?

What are the risks of teeth whitening? While DIY teeth whitening kits offer the allure of convenience and cost savings, they come with their own set of risks. Products misused or overused can lead to tooth sensitivity, gum irritation, and uneven whitening. Some may even cause long-term damage to your enamel, leading to more serious dental issues down the line. 

We don’t recommend that you attempt DIY teeth whitening at home for the following reasons:

Attempting DIY teeth whitening at home can pose several risks, including:

• Tooth sensitivity and gum irritation: Many home whitening methods use harsh chemicals or abrasive substances that can lead to increased tooth sensitivity and gum irritation, making your teeth and gums more susceptible to pain and discomfort.
• Uneven whitening: DIY whitening often results in uneven colouration, with some teeth or parts of teeth becoming whiter than others, leading to a patchy appearance.
• Damage to tooth enamel: Incorrect use of whitening agents can wear away tooth enamel, the protective outer layer of your teeth, leading to increased vulnerability to decay and other dental problems.
• Risk of overuse: Without professional guidance, there’s a risk of overusing whitening products, which can exacerbate sensitivity, damage, and other oral health issues.
• Underlying dental issues: Professional dentists assess your overall dental health before recommending whitening to ensure that treatments do not aggravate existing problems, such as cavities or gum disease, which DIY approaches might overlook.

Check out our very own Dr Justina on 7News discussing the dangers of DIY teeth whitening at home here.

What about professional teeth whitening? 

Professional teeth whitening involves a dental procedure where a dentist applies a stronger whitening gel directly to the teeth. This gel typically contains a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide than over-the-counter products. 

The process may also involve the use of a special light or laser to enhance the bleaching process and achieve more significant results in a shorter period. The treatment usually takes about an hour and can make teeth several shades whiter in a single visit. Before the procedure, the dentist will assess your dental health to ensure suitability for whitening and may also perform a cleaning to remove surface stains and plaque.

At Advanced Dental Artistry, we do offer professional teeth whitening for colour correction. However, our other cosmetic dentistry services; All-On-4, porcelain veneers and full mouth reconstruction services are what we are known for, and it is rare that our patients come in for whitening only. For those chasing a brighter smile, our porcelain veneers are a longer-lasting cosmetic solution that provides you with a whiter and brighter smile.

Whatever your concern is with your smile, our team works closely with you to find a solution that is best suited to your needs, preferences and budget. 

Porcelain veneers for a brighter smile

For those seeking more than just a whiter smile, porcelain veneers offer a versatile solution. These thin, custom-made shells are designed to cover the front surface of teeth, correcting discolouration, as well as issues with tooth shape, size, and alignment. 

If you’re dealing with dental issues that affect how your teeth look, such as gaps, crookedness, small size, discolouration, breaks, or wear and tear, porcelain veneers could be the answer for you.

Porcelain veneers provide a long-lasting, durable option that can transform your smile.

Teeth whitening vs. veneers: which is right for you?

When considering professional teeth whitening, you need to consider if the colour of your teeth is the only aspect you wish to change. If you have other additional concerns such as gappy or crooked teeth, there might be a better solution.

Choosing between teeth whitening and porcelain veneers depends on several factors, including the condition of your teeth, your cosmetic goals, and your budget. Professional teeth whitening is a viable option for those with already healthy teeth looking for a brighter smile. However, for individuals looking to address multiple cosmetic concerns, porcelain veneers offer a comprehensive solution with lasting results.

Veneers might be the right option for you if:

• You have discoloured or stained teeth
• You have gappy teeth
• You have broken or chipped teeth
• You have overcrowded teeth
• You have worn-down teeth
• You have crooked teeth

When considering these options, it’s essential to consult with a cosmetic dentistry professional who can provide personalised advice based on your dental health and aesthetic objectives. At Advanced Dental Artistry, we pride ourselves on our patient-centred approach, ensuring that you receive the best possible care tailored to your unique needs.

Much like their name suggests, hairline cracks in your teeth are very thin cracks on your teeth. These cracks typically occur on the surface of the tooth enamel and can vary in length, running vertically or horizontally across the tooth. Despite their small size, hairline cracks can have an impact on both the appearance and health of your teeth.

How common are hairline cracks in teeth?

Hairline cracks in teeth are more common than you might think. Many individuals, even those with impeccable oral hygiene, may develop these tiny cracks over time. Understanding their origins and addressing them promptly can make all the difference in preserving your smile.

What are the reasons for teeth cracking?

Hairline cracks in your teeth can arise for various reasons:

Teeth grinding (bruxism)

One of the leading culprits behind hairline cracks is teeth grinding, also known as bruxism. Often occurring unconsciously during sleep, bruxism subjects your teeth to immense pressure, eventually leading to cracks.

To read more: How To Stop Grinding Teeth In Sleep

Aging

Just like any other part of your body, your teeth undergo wear and tear as you age. Over time, the enamel on your teeth may weaken, making them more susceptible to cracks.

Poor dental hygiene

Neglecting proper oral care can result in the buildup of plaque and tartar, which can weaken your teeth’s enamel and make them prone to cracking.

Accidents and trauma

A sudden impact or accident can cause hairline cracks or even more significant fractures in your teeth.

Cracks caused by old fillings

Additionally, cracks around old restorations (fillings) are common, especially if they are metal fillings. Metal fillings mico expand and contract with temperature changes, causing cracking over time. With every silver filling we come across at our clinic, we always see some form of cracking present. 

The impact of hairline cracks on the appearance of your smile and your oral health 

Hairline cracks, though small, can have a big impact on your oral health and overall confidence.

• Aesthetics: These cracks may be tiny, but they are often visible to the naked eye, especially when they affect the front teeth. 
• Oral Health: Hairline cracks can compromise your oral health by providing a pathway for bacteria to enter your tooth. Over time, this can lead to decay and other complications if left untreated.

Addressing Hairline Cracks with Cosmetic Dentistry

At Advanced Dental Artistry, we empathise with your concerns and are here to provide effective solutions to address hairline cracks in your teeth. Our cosmetic dentistry services are designed to not only improve your oral health but also enhance the appearance of your teeth. We offer the following cosmetic dentistry treatments at our clinic: 

Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers are a popular choice for covering hairline cracks and enhancing the appearance of your teeth.

All-on-4 Implants: If hairline cracks are accompanied with tooth loss, our industry-leading All-On-4 dental implants offer a permanent and stable solution. This innovative technique provides you with a full set of teeth supported by just four implants per arch, providing a beautiful smile and improved teeth functionality.

Other Restorative Dentistry Options: We offer a range of restorative treatments, including dental crowns and bridges, to repair cracked teeth and restore their functionality and appearance.

Why is there such a range in dental pricing?

The cost of cosmetic dentistry services can vary widely, and the reasons are multifaceted. Let’s discuss the factors which influence the varying prices of cosmetic dentistry: 

1. Materials matter

Why are some dental implants so cheap? The quality of materials used in dental implants plays a pivotal role in pricing. This extends to other cosmetic dentistry services such as porcelain veneers. Cheaper dental services may cut corners by using lower-quality materials, compromising the long-term success of your procedure.

At Advanced Dental Artistry we only use the highest grade dental materials such as industry-leading titanium and ultra-thin porcelain to ensure the longevity and aesthetics of your final smile.

2. Cutting-edge technology

Dental technology is constantly evolving, enabling dentists to provide better care. Clinics that invest in the latest equipment and techniques often charge more, but this investment ensures the most advanced and precise treatment available. 

We continually invest in our team’s development at Advanced Dental Artistry, ensuring they receive comprehensive training and stay on top of the most cutting-edge advancements in dental care. Our commitment lies in remaining at the forefront of digital smile design and dental implant technology, guaranteeing the highest standards of quality, accuracy, and durability in the smiles we craft.

3. Expertise and experience

Experience and expertise are invaluable when it comes to dental implants. Our team is led by Dr. Adrian Kat, who has nearly 30 years of experience, and is considered one of the leaders in the field of All-On-4 dental implants in Australia.

Dr. Kat has dedicated years to perfecting his craft, and his expertise directly translates into superior outcomes for our valued patients. As the leader of our team of highly qualified dentists, Dr. Kat not only oversees our cases but also provides training and guidance to ensure the highest level of care and precision in every aspect of our practice.

You wouldn’t trust your smile to just anyone, and that’s why choosing an experienced dentist is essential for a successful dental implant procedure.

You get what you pay for

When considering dental implant prices, it’s vital to remember the age-old saying: ‘You get what you pay for’. While it may be tempting to opt for cheaper dental services, this decision can have long-term consequences for your oral health and overall satisfaction with the results. At Advanced Dental Artistry, we firmly believe in the value of investing in quality dental care. 

Our approach is patient-centric – we consider your comfort and satisfaction before anything else.
Going the extra mile means our patients receive exceptional care every step of the way. We treat our patients like we would treat our own family.

What are the risks of overseas dental work?

While it may be tempting to explore cheaper dental treatments overseas, it’s essential to consider the potential risks and drawbacks. Overseas dental work can pose numerous challenges, including:

• Limited accountability: If issues arise after treatment, it can be challenging to seek the necessary aftercare from a foreign dental clinic.
• Inconsistent quality: Dental standards and regulations may vary widely in different countries, potentially leading to subpar outcomes.
• Communication barriers: Language barriers can hinder effective communication with dental professionals abroad.

Choosing a local, reputable clinic ensures that you receive top-tier dental care with a focus on quality, safety, and accountability.

How do I find a good dentist?

Finding a trustworthy and skilled dentist can be a daunting task. For many, dental anxiety is very real and they avoid going to the dentist all together. To help you make an informed decision, here are some tips for selecting a reputable dentist that you can trust:

1. Check qualifications and experience

Look for dentists with extensive qualifications and years of experience. Dr. Adrian Kat, the driving force behind Advanced Dental Artistry, is one of the leading dentists in Australia, with a wealth of experience in cosmetic dentistry and dental implants.

2. Evaluate patient reviews

Read reviews and testimonials from other patients to get a sense of the quality of care provided by the dental clinic.

3. Transparent pricing

Choose a dental clinic that offers transparent pricing. Our transparent pricing page provides a clear breakdown of costs, ensuring you know exactly what to expect.

Can a general dentist do implants?

One of the most common queries we encounter is whether general dentists can perform dental implant procedures. The short answer is yes, but there’s more to it than meets the eye.

There is no distinct difference in qualifications between general dentists who occasionally perform implant procedures and those who have made implantology their primary focus, as is the case with our dental experts at Advanced Dental Artistry.

While there are specialists, such as prosthodontists, who specialise in dental implants, the majority of implant dentists, even the highly skilled ones, are general dental practitioners who have sought out additional training. The big difference comes from the level of commitment and dedication to the field.

At Advanced Dental Artistry, we have a team of general dentists who have made dental implantology their passion and have undergone extensive training to provide the highest quality of care for our patients.

How to pick a dentist for implants

Dental implants are a slightly more invasive surgical procedure compared to many other dental treatments. They involve the precise placement of titanium implant posts into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots, onto which dental prosthetics like crowns, bridges, or dentures are securely anchored. The intricacy of this process highlights the importance of experience in the field, as it can significantly impact the success and comfort of the implantation procedure.

Choosing the right dentist for your dental implant procedure is a critical decision that can significantly impact your outcome. To help you make an informed choice, we recommend asking the following questions to decipher the difference in quality and experience among dentists:

1. How long have they been placing implants?

Experience matters when it comes to dental implant placement. Dentists who have been placing implants for several years are likely to have encountered a wide range of cases and challenges, leading to improved expertise.

2. How often do they place implants?

Frequency matters too. Dentists who regularly perform implant procedures are more likely to stay up-to-date with the latest techniques and technologies in the field, ensuring better outcomes for their patients.

3. Have they had good exposure to implant challenges?

Dental implant procedures can be complex, and challenges can arise. It’s essential to choose a dentist who has faced and overcome various challenges to ensure they can handle any unexpected issues that may arise during your treatment.

4. Do they have any statistics on their success rate?

A dentist’s success rate is a strong indicator of their skill and expertise. Ask for statistics on their implant success rate to gauge their track record.

5. Do they have a full surgical setup?

A fully equipped surgical setup is essential for performing dental implant procedures safely and effectively. Ensure that your chosen dentist has access to the necessary equipment and facilities.

Cosmetic dentist vs. general dentist

A cosmetic dentist and a general dentist share the same foundation of education and training in dental care. There is no defining title or qualification between a dentist who rarely does smile makeovers and one who defines their whole career around it.

However, a dentist focusing on cosmetic treatments has chosen to provide aesthetic treatments that enhance the appearance of teeth and smiles. This focus often involves additional training and expertise in cosmetic dentistry procedures.

Are all dentists dental surgeons?

Another common question is whether all dentists are dental surgeons. The answer to this is no. While all dentists undergo extensive training to become licensed practitioners, dental surgeons typically refer to oral and maxillofacial surgeons, who specialise in surgical procedures involving the mouth, jaw, and facial structures.

General dentists primarily concentrate on preventive care, restorative treatments, and cosmetic dentistry. Nevertheless, it’s important to note that both restorative treatments and cosmetic procedures within these realms of general dentistry often require surgical skills and precision.

Difference between orthodontist and cosmetic dentist

Understanding the difference between an orthodontist and a cosmetic dentist is crucial when seeking specific dental treatments. Orthodontists specialise in correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues using techniques like braces and clear aligners. They are experts in straightening teeth and improving bite functionality.

Cosmetic dentists, on the other hand, focus on enhancing the appearance of teeth and smiles. They offer a range of aesthetic treatments such as teeth whitening, veneers, and dental bonding to improve the overall look of a person’s teeth. While some cosmetic dentists may also offer orthodontic services, their primary focus is generally on cosmetic enhancements.

Advanced Dental Artistry stands out for our distinctive approach to cosmetic treatments. Our focus extends beyond mere aesthetics; our treatments are meticulously crafted to enhance not only the visual appeal but also the functionality of your teeth.

There are other avenues to correct bite, such as orthodontics or botox. We focus on a full mouth reconstruction as a more permanent solution to correct your bite.

Our dentists have been completing full mouth reconstructions for over 15 years now. Full mouth treatment plans incorporate neuromuscular dentistry and porcelain veneers/crowns. We are lucky enough to have Dr Adrian & Dr Tanya here at our practice who have studied in America at the Las Vegas Institute and are trained in neuromuscular dentistry. 

The Advanced Dental Artistry difference

At Advanced Dental Artistry, our cosmetic dentists are highly skilled in their craft and they combine their knowledge with an artistic touch to create stunning smiles for our patients. We offer All On 4 dental implants, bespoke porcelain veneers and tailored full mouth reconstruction.

While our cosmetic dentistry treatments undoubtedly deliver aesthetically beautiful smiles, our unwavering commitment extends beyond appearances. We place a strong emphasis on restoring optimal oral functionality, so that our patients can get back to doing the things they love.

Our All On 4 and full mouth reconstruction services are specifically tailored for individuals facing life-impacting dental issues, often stemming from conditions such as terminal or missing teeth, allowing them to regain their oral health.

Choose the right dentist for your cosmetic dentistry procedure

In the world of dentistry, distinctions exist based on specialisation, commitment to excellence and approach to patient service and care. While general dentists can perform dental implant procedures, the quality and experience they bring to the table can vary significantly. 

When it comes to dental treatments and choosing the right dentist for your needs, knowledge is power. By understanding the qualifications, experience, and dedication of your chosen dentistry clinic, you can make informed decisions that lead to the best possible outcomes for your oral health.

At Advanced Dental Artistry our team of dentists have made dental implantology their passion and focus, having undergone extensive training and experience to deliver outstanding results.

One hesitation we sometimes hear from our patients is the concern that their All-On-4 implants won’t look natural, and won’t seamlessly blend in with their facial features. This blog aims to debunk these concerns and explain the benefits of All-On-4.

What does the All-On-4 procedure involve?

The All-On-4 dental implant procedure is a revolutionary approach to replace missing or damaged teeth. This technique involves the placement of four dental implants in the jaw, which act as a foundation for a full arch of prosthetic teeth.

Advanced Dental Artistry prides ourselves on employing a highly skilled team of implant dentists led by Dr Adrian Kat, who meticulously plan and perform the All-On-4 procedure on site in our beautiful West Perth clinic.

Our initial consultations are thorough and personalised, ensuring we understand your specific needs and expectations. The implant bridges we use at Advanced Dental Artistry are custom-made to match the unique contours of your mouth, ensuring a comfortable fit and natural look.

To read more, check out our Complete Guide to All-On-4.

Realistic appearance and feel

One of the primary concerns individuals looking into All-On-4 have is, ‘do All-On-4 look real?’. Our All-On-4 implants look remarkably real, as they are designed to mimic the look and feel of natural teeth.

The materials used in our All-On-4 implants and prostheses are of the highest quality, reflecting light much like your natural teeth enamel would. This contributes to the realistic appearance and feel of the implants, making them virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth to the untrained eye.

Our custom-made implants, combined with the expertise of our qualified implant dentists, ensure that the appearance of the implants is indistinguishable from natural teeth.

Created only for your face

Our thorough planning and execution of the All-On-4 procedure at Advanced Dental Artistry ensure a seamless integration of the implants, complementing your natural facial aesthetics harmoniously. The colour, shape, and alignment of the implants are tailored to complement your facial structure and provide a balanced, natural-looking smile.

Longevity of All-On-4 dental implants

‘How long do All on 4 dental implants last?’ is another common query we get. The lifespan of All-On-4 dental implants can span decades with proper maintenance. Regular check-ups, professional cleaning, avoiding smoking or vaping and adhering to a good oral hygiene routine are crucial for maintaining the health and longevity of your implants.

At our clinic, we emphasise the importance of follow-up care and offer comprehensive maintenance services to ensure your implants serve you well for years to come.

Permanence of All-On-4 dental implants

The question of permanence—’are All on 4 dental implants permanent?’—is a significant one. With proper care, All-On-4 dental implants are a more permanent solution to missing teeth.

The procedure provides a stable and long-term solution, as the implants fuse with the jawbone over time, creating a durable foundation for the prosthetic teeth. They are a more permanent and natural feeling alternative to dentures.

Our follow-up care and maintenance services ensure that your implants and replacement teeth remain in excellent condition, helping to extend their longevity and maintain their natural appearance.

Outcomes of the All-On-4 procedure

The sensation and function restored by the All-On-4 dental implants closely emulate those of natural teeth, making the transition feel incredibly natural.

Our qualified implant dentists are not just skilled in the technical aspects of the procedure, but are also adept at understanding and addressing individual aesthetic concerns. Our distinctly personalised approach ensures that every set of our All-On-4 dental implants is a work of art, crafted with precision and care to meet the aesthetic and functional expectations of each patient.

Veneers are ultra-thin shells that cover the front surface of your teeth, correcting imperfections present on the teeth. Whether you experience discolouration, chips, or gaps, veneers can effectively address these concerns by providing a uniform and brighter smile.

Are all veneers made equal?

In short, no. The success of your veneer treatment hinges directly on your choice of cosmetic dentistry clinic. By consulting with an experienced, qualified cosmetic dentist, your veneers will be tailored to your unique needs and preferences. This will ensure that your new smile not only looks great, but feels right too.

The risk of going to a cheaper clinic, particularly overseas, is that you may compromise on the quality of veneer material, expertise and care, face potential post-treatment complications, and lack assistance should any issues arise.

Are there different types of veneers on the market?

There are a few different types of dental veneers available, which can make it tricky when it comes to knowing which option is right for you. These options range from porcelain and composite veneers, to lumineers and no-prep veneers. This is why it is super important that you consult with a trusted cosmetic dentist to determine the best fit for your unique needs and aesthetic goals.

Composite veneers

Composite veneers, crafted from a tooth-coloured resin material, are often directly applied and sculpted onto the teeth in a single visit. Although composite veneers offer a budget-friendly and immediate solution, they tend to have a limited lifespan and can be susceptible to staining or chipping.

Despite their initial aesthetic appeal, composite veneers often don’t capture the depth and translucence of porcelain veneers, which provide a more authentic tooth-like appearance.

Porcelain veneers

Made from high-quality ceramic, porcelain veneers are custom-crafted in a dental lab to fit your teeth perfectly. They are then bonded to your teeth in a subsequent visit.

Porcelain veneers are known for their lasting durability and impeccable aesthetics. With the right care, they can remain pristine for over a decade, resisting stains and chips. Their translucence and depth emulate the natural appearance of real teeth.

Lumineers and no-Prep veneers

Lumineers and no-prep veneers are thin shells used to improve the appearance of teeth. Unlike traditional veneers, they require minimal to no enamel removal, making them a reversible and conservative option. Lumineers are a specific brand known for their ultra-thin nature, while no-prep veneers can be made from various materials. 

Composite veneers vs porcelain veneers – which one is best for me?

Choosing between composite and porcelain veneers ultimately depends on your specific dental needs, aesthetic goals, and budget. Composite veneers, made from tooth-coloured resin, are lower in price and can be applied in just one visit. They offer immediate aesthetic enhancements, but might be more prone to staining or chipping over time.

On the other hand, porcelain veneers, crafted from high-quality ceramic, are more durable and closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth. They come with a higher price tag but can last a decade or more with proper care.

Porcelain veneers by Advanced Dental Artistry

We are committed to only providing the highest quality cosmetic dental treatments for our patients. Our hand crafted porcelain veneers are custom made from ultra thin porcelain which is seamlessly bonded to the teeth. The result is a completely natural looking radiant smile, which ultimately still looks like ‘you’.

Completely custom and personalised

We use cutting-edge digital technology to assess and align with your facial features, ensuring your porcelain veneers are tailor-made just for you. The outcome? Porcelain veneers that are custom designed for your face, providing a natural look and feel. 

Unmatched durability

Our porcelain veneers are crafted with high-grade porcelain, guaranteeing exceptional dental resilience that can stand the test of time. One of our experienced cosmetic dentists oversees the fitting, ensuring impeccable placement and alignment.

Are veneers the right treatment for me?

If dental imperfections like gaps, crookedness, small or discoloured teeth, or teeth that are worn-down or broken are affecting your smile, porcelain veneers might be your answer. 

Before making a decision, it’s essential to consult with a reputable cosmetic dentist who can provide personalised advice based on a thorough assessment of your situation.

The composite vs porcelain veneers question isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation. Your choice will likely be influenced by your budget, desired aesthetic results, and current oral health. At Advanced Dental Artistry, our team can help guide this decision, ensuring it aligns with your dental and financial goals. 

It is important to note that our porcelain veneers use your natural tooth structure, making them not ideal for those with missing or severely damaged teeth. If porcelain veneers are ultimately not the right treatment for you, we will guide you on your alternative options, such as dental reconstruction or All On 4.

Eager to explore your cosmetic dental options and achieve the smile of your dreams? Schedule a consultation with our friendly team at Advanced Dental Artistry today, and let our experts guide you on your journey to a restored smile that meets your aesthetic preferences.
