About
What is All-on-4 dental treatment?
All-on-4 is a full-arch dental restoration in which a complete set of fixed teeth is supported by four titanium implants placed in the jaw. It is designed for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth in one or both arches, or whose remaining teeth are no longer salvageable.
Unlike a removable denture, an All-on-4 bridge is fixed in place and functions like natural teeth. Unlike replacing every missing tooth with an individual implant, only four implants are used per arch — strategically positioned to maximise bone support.
At Rodin, All-on-4 is performed under IV sedation by a US-trained prosthodontist using CT-guided surgical planning combined with Medit i700 intraoral 3D scanning. The primary implant system is the American-made Hiossen (FDA-approved, manufactured in Pennsylvania USA); Straumann (Switzerland) and Nobel Biocare (Sweden/USA) are available as premium alternatives on request. Most patients leave the clinic with a fitted provisional bridge on the same day as surgery.
How it works
How does All-on-4 work?
- 01
CT planning
A 3D CT scan maps your jawbone. Implant positions are planned digitally so the surgery is rehearsed before it begins.
Before surgery
- 02
Implant placement under IV sedation
Four implants are placed using a 3D-printed surgical template. IV sedation by a licensed anesthesiologist keeps you comfortable throughout.
Surgery day · 2–4 hours
- 03
Same-day fixed provisional bridge
A provisional bridge — designed in advance — is fitted to the new implants. You leave the clinic with a complete, functioning set of teeth.
Same day
- 04
Osseointegration
The implants integrate with the bone over 4–6 months. You return home wearing the provisional bridge.

Final prosthesis
On a return visit to Tokyo, the final prosthesis — designed for long-term function and aesthetics — is delivered.

Common questions
Frequently asked
How much does All-on-4 cost in Tokyo?
+
All-on-4 at Rodin starts from ¥3,500,000 per arch, quoted as an all-inclusive figure covering implants, surgery, IV sedation, the same-day provisional bridge, and the final prosthesis. Bone grafting is added only when necessary.
How long does All-on-4 take?
+
Surgery and the same-day provisional bridge are completed in a single day, typically 2–4 hours under IV sedation. The implants then integrate with the jawbone over 4–6 months, after which a return visit to Tokyo delivers the final prosthesis.
Is All-on-4 painful?
+
Surgery is performed under IV sedation, so most patients have little or no recollection of the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is generally moderate and managed with prescribed pain relief for 3–7 days.
Can I get All-on-4 in one trip to Japan?
+
The surgery and provisional bridge can be completed in one trip of 5–7 days. The final prosthesis is delivered on a second visit 4–6 months later, once the implants have integrated with the bone.
What is the success rate of All-on-4?
+
Hiossen implants — our primary system at Rodin — carry FDA 510(k) approval, ISO 13485:2016 certification, and clinical use in over 30,000 dental practices worldwide backed by 25+ years of clinical research (source: Hiossen Inc. corporate data). For patients selecting premium alternatives, Straumann implants have documented success rates above 95% at 10 years in peer-reviewed studies. Long-term All-on-4 outcomes depend on implant integration, prosthesis maintenance, oral hygiene, and lifestyle factors.
Can All-on-4 fail?
+
Implant failure is uncommon but possible. Most failures are detected within the first 3–6 months and addressed with replacement implants. Long-term maintenance with proper hygiene and routine review is essential.
How does All-on-4 compare to traditional dentures?
+
All-on-4 is fixed in place, anchored to four implants, and functions much closer to natural teeth than a removable denture. It preserves jawbone and restores closer to full bite force.
Do you accept international credit cards?
+
Yes. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and JCB. Payments are processed in JPY. International transaction fees from your card issuer may apply.
What if an implant fails after I return home?
+
Implant failure typically presents within 3–6 months. Our video follow-ups are designed to detect early signs. If an implant fails, we arrange a return visit and coordinate with a local oral surgeon if interim care is needed.
