All-on-4 dental implants — full arch for New Zealand patients
All-on-4 full arch implants at Picasso Dental Clinic — four implants supporting a fixed bridge, NZD pricing, and Kiwi trip planning.
All-on-4 is the term Kiwis search when they are edentulous or facing full extractions and want fixed teeth without a full set of individual implants per tooth.
Who it helps
- Failing full upper or lower dentition
- Patients told they need “all teeth removed”
- Denture wearers wanting fixed teeth
- Those quoted NZD 30,000+ per arch in New Zealand
Clinical candidacy (honest)
Requires adequate bone volume — CBCT is mandatory. Smokers, uncontrolled diabetes, and heavy grinders have higher failure rates. We discuss risks on /safety/honest-risks/.
Typical Kiwi journey
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Planning | OPG/CBCT, medical history, NZD quote |
| Surgery day | Extractions (if needed), implant placement |
| Provisional | Fixed temporaries in many protocols |
| Healing | 3–6 months |
| Final | Reinforced bridge — may need trip 2 |

Full arch rehabilitation in NZ private care is among the highest bills patients face. Compare:
