All-on-4® Bridge: Transform Your Smile with Dental Implants

If you’ve been living with missing teeth or struggling with uncomfortable dentures, you’re not alone — and you’re not without options. The All-on-4® dental implant solution has transformed what full-mouth teeth replacement can look and feel like, offering a secure, natural-looking smile supported by just four dental implants per arch.

But the implants are only one part of the equation.

Equally important — and often overlooked — is the All-on-4® bridge itself. This is the set of prosthetic teeth that are fixed permanently to the implants. It’s not just about making teeth that look nice. It’s about engineering a solution that fits your face, supports your bite, functions naturally, and stands the test of time.

What Is the All-on-4® Bridge 

At The Point Dental, we treat the All-on-4® bridge not as a one-size-fits-all product, but as a custom-crafted piece of dental art. Each one is designed to suit the patient’s individual facial structure, smile line, and functional needs. We don’t rush this process, and we don’t take shortcuts — because the difference between a bridge that simply looks okay and one that transforms your entire smile experience comes down to planning, precision, and personalisation.

Unlike traditional dentures, this bridge is fixed in place. It doesn’t move. It doesn’t come out at night. It feels secure, natural and entirely yours.

All-on-4® Bridge Materials & Craftsmanship: What Makes a Smile Last

When we talk about “All-on-4®,” people often assume the focus is just on placing implants — but the truth is, the quality of your final bridge is what you’ll live with every single day. It’s what you’ll chew with, smile with, and see in the mirror. That’s why we take extra care with every detail, from the material selection to the contour and the colour, ensuring that it looks natural, feels comfortable, and performs reliably.

Depending on your preferences and clinical needs, final bridges can be made from a range of materials.

At The Point Dental, each bridge is custom-made for durability, comfort, and aesthetics. We offer several material options to suit different clinical needs, lifestyle preferences, and budgets. Here’s a breakdown of the three most common types, so you can feel confident in your choice.

1. Titanium-reinforced Acrylic Resin Bridge (Standard Range)

Estimated Price: 💲💲
Durability: 5–7 years
Strength: Moderate
Aesthetic: Highly aesthetic and natural-looking

What it is:

This bridge uses high-quality acrylic teeth that are individually pre-manufactured and hand-assembled, then fused to an acrylic base supported by a titanium framework for added strength. It is lightweight, easy to adjust, and provides a natural-looking smile for many patients.

Pros:

  • Lower upfront cost than Zirconia

  • Easily repairable

  • Lighter in weight

  • Comfortable and natural feel

Considerations:

  • Acrylic can wear down or stain over time

  • Acrylic may need replacement sooner than other materials

  • Acrylics are more porous, hence plaque may build up quicker than milled material

  • Not as fracture-resistant for patients with a heavy bite

Best for:

Patients looking for a functional and highly-aesthetic solution — this is an older technology compared to milled bridges, however it remains a viable option in carefully selected cases.

2. Titanium-reinforced milled ceramic-infused Resin Bridge (Standard Range)

Estimated Price: 💲💲
Durability: 5-10+ years
Strength: High
Aesthetic: Natural and highly polishable surface

What it is:

This bridge combines the lightness of resin with the added strength of glass-ceramic filler particles, offering greater resistance to wear, cracking, and discolouration compared to traditional acrylic resin. It is bonded to a strong titanium framework for reliable long-term support.

Pros:

  • More durable and stain-resistant than traditional acrylic

  • Feels and looks more like natural teeth

  • Lower chipping risk than traditional acrylic

  • Excellent for patients with moderate bite pressure

Considerations:

  • May still wear faster than zirconia in heavy-bite cases

  • May take up more stains than zirconia

Best for:

Patients who want a stronger, longer-lasting solution without jumping to the most expensive tier — ideal for everyday use with improved comfort and aesthetics.

3. Titanium-reinforced milled Zirconia Bridge (Most Premium)

Estimated Price: 💲💲💲
Durability: 10-20+ years
Strength: Extremely High
Aesthetic: Highly aesthetic and life-like. Highly polished. Closest feel to natural teeth.

What it is:

Zirconia is a premium-grade ceramic known for its exceptional strength and beauty. These bridges are precision-milled from a solid block of zirconia, which is then bonded to a milled titanium framework. They’re the gold standard in both aesthetics and durability.

Pros:

  • Maximum longevity and strength

  • Highly resistant to chips, stains, and wear

  • Highly polished and smooth surface helps reduce plaque buildup

  • Mimics the translucency of natural teeth beautifully

Considerations:

  • Highest investment cost

  • Heavier than acrylic (though not a concern for patients)

  • Repairs can be more complex if needed

Best for:

Patients who want the best possible aesthetics, longest-lasting results, and the highest level of confidence, ideal for professionals, high-functioning bites, and anyone looking for a premium experience.

Beyond the All-On-4® Bridge: Helping Complex Cases with Ease

Before All-on-4®, patients who lost all their teeth often had only two choices: traditional dentures or full-mouth implants that required 8–10 individual implants and extensive bone grafting.

These were expensive, invasive, and often overwhelming.

Today, we go further with less — thanks to:

  • Strategic implant angles that eliminate the need for bone grafts 

  • Zygomatic implants for severe bone loss when other clinics say “no”

  • Sleep dentistry (General Anaesthesia) to help nervous patients get life-changing treatment with ease

We’ve made All-on-4® possible even for patients who believed it wasn’t.

Dr Wilfred Koon’s Vision at The Point Dental: Smiles Without Limits

Dr Wilfred Koon, our principal surgeon, believes beauty should never be a luxury — it should be accessible to everyone.

After graduating dental school, he went on to pursue advanced training in implantology. When he encountered the All-on-4® method, he knew it wasn’t just a technique — it was a new beginning for people who had lost hope.

That belief still drives every case we take on:
“Everyone deserves to feel proud of their smile — no matter how complex the journey.”
