All-On-4 dental implants provide a full-arch tooth replacement using four implants. This fixed solution helps restore function, stability and aesthetics for those missing most teeth.
A dental bone graft rebuilds jawbone density, creating a more stable foundation for implants or restoring lost bone structure caused by missing teeth or periodontal disease.
Replace missing teeth with custom solutions like implants, bridges or dentures. Restoring lost teeth can improve function, appearance and long-term oral health while maintaining natural tooth alignment.
For several missing teeth, multiple implants, bridges or implant-supported dentures provide durable, functional solutions that help enhance chewing ability and prevent shifting of remaining teeth.
At Dr Patrick Meaney & Associates in Moss Vale, dental implant services are available for individuals looking for a way to replace missing teeth after decay, gum disease or injury. Dr Ahmed Elkhatib provides implant treatments using techniques and technologies designed to support the function and appearance of teeth.
Dental implants consist of a small titanium post placed into the jawbone, serving as a foundation for a replacement tooth. This approach is designed to provide a secure fit and a natural appearance.
Our clinic uses digital imaging and treatment planning software to assess jawbone structure and determine implant positioning. A Cone Beam CT X-ray scan is often used to evaluate bone density and measure the available space for implant placement.
The process of placing dental implants generally occurs in several stages:

The dental implant process begins with a consultation with Dr Elkhatib to assess whether this treatment is suitable. During the consultation, clinical images and X-rays may be taken to evaluate the condition of the jawbone and surrounding teeth.
The consultation also includes a discussion about the different treatment options that may be available. Dr Elkhatib reviews medical history and general health to ensure that dental implants are a viable option.
The duration of the procedure then depends on several factors, including the number of implants required, the condition of the surrounding teeth and gums, and whether any extractions are necessary:
These timeframes are estimates and may vary based on individual treatment plans.
The cost of dental implants varies from person to person and depends on several factors. One of the main considerations is the condition of the jawbone and gums, as they need to provide adequate support for the implant.
In cases where bone or gum grafts are necessary, additional costs may apply. The extent of grafting required and the materials used will influence the final treatment cost.

All-on-4 is one of the available treatment options for replacing all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. This approach involves securing a full-arch prosthetic bridge to the jaw using four or more dental implants.
The prosthetic bridge consists of a custom-designed set of crowns, often with a gum-coloured base, to restore the appearance of natural teeth. The number of implants needed and their placement will be determined based on an assessment of the jawbone and individual requirements.
A consultation is available to evaluate whether this option may be suitable based on oral health and bone structure. For more information, reach out to Patrick Meaney & Associates.
Single dental implants are designed for those who need to replace a single missing tooth. Unlike traditional bridges, a single implant does not involve modifying adjacent teeth.
For individuals with multiple missing teeth, more than one implant may be placed to support replacements. This option is considered an alternative to removable dentures.
Not everyone is a candidate for dental implants. Some factors that may influence suitability include:
Some people may choose implants as an alternative to dentures or bridges, as implants remain fixed in place and do not require additional maintenance beyond regular oral hygiene.
Treatment planning includes digital software that allows patients to see a preview of their proposed implant placement. Using this technology, the different stages of the procedure can be visualised, providing a clearer understanding of the process.
