What this typically costs at our Roodepoort practice
We indicate cost using a tier system rather than specific Rand amounts because every case is different. After your consultation you receive a written treatment plan with a specific quote in Rand.
- $ – routine: general check-ups, hygiene, simple fillings, basic extractions.
- $$ – moderate: composite veneers per tooth, single ceramic crowns, in-chair whitening, root canal therapy.
- $$$ – significant: multi-tooth porcelain veneers, single dental implants with crown, complex restorative cases.
- $$$$ – major: full-arch implants (All-on-4), full smile makeovers, multi-visit reconstruction.
The practice does not bill medical aid directly – we provide a detailed practice statement which you submit to your scheme for reimbursement directly. Payment is by EFT, card, or cash on the day. Outcomes depend on the underlying clinical condition, the materials and techniques chosen, the aftercare you follow, and how well the plan fits your specific case.
What are All-on-4 dental implants?
All-on-4 is a treatment where a full arch of teeth is supported by four strategically placed dental implants in the upper or lower jaw. Instead of replacing each missing tooth with its own implant, four titanium implants act as strong anchors for a fixed bridge of teeth. This can be an option if you have many missing or failing teeth, or are struggling with loose dentures.
The implants are placed in areas of the jaw where the bone is usually strongest, often with the back implants angled to maximise support. This clever positioning can reduce the need for bone grafting in some patients. Once the implants are in place, a temporary set of fixed teeth is often fitted on the same day, so you leave with teeth you can smile and speak with while the implants heal.
At Dr Chalita le Roux Inc. in Roodepoort, All-on-4 treatment is planned digitally, using 3D scans where appropriate, to map your bone, nerves and bite. The final goal is a set of fixed teeth that feel secure, look natural, and allow you to chew more comfortably than with loose dentures. The treatment is done under local anaesthetic, with sedation dentistry available for anxious patients.
Who is a good candidate for All-on-4 implants?
All-on-4 can be a strong option if you are missing most or all of your teeth in one jaw, have many teeth that are failing, or are unhappy with removable dentures that move, rub or feel bulky. It is often considered for patients who want fixed teeth that stay in the mouth, better chewing function, and improved confidence when speaking and smiling.
You may be a suitable candidate if you are generally healthy, a non-smoker or willing to stop smoking around surgery, and have enough quality bone in key areas of the jaw to support four implants. Even if you have been told you have bone loss, the angulated placement used in All-on-4 often allows treatment without extensive grafting, but this must be confirmed with proper imaging and examination.
Some patients are not ideal candidates. Uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, untreated gum disease, or certain medications and systemic conditions can increase the risk of complications and implant failure. At Dr Chalita le Roux Inc. in Roodepoort, a thorough consultation includes a full dental exam, 3D imaging where needed, and a detailed discussion of your medical history. You will receive honest feedback if a different solution, such as conventional implants, overdentures or staged treatment, would be safer or more predictable in your situation.
How the All-on-4 procedure works from start to finish
The All-on-4 journey starts with a comprehensive consultation at Dr Chalita le Roux Inc. in Roodepoort. This includes a full oral examination, digital X-rays, and usually 3D CBCT scans to assess your bone, sinuses and nerve positions. Photographs, bite records and impressions or digital scans are taken to plan your new smile and bite. Your medical history, goals and expectations are discussed in detail, and you receive a personalised treatment plan with timelines and fee estimates.
On the surgery day, damaged or unsalvageable teeth in the arch are gently removed under local anaesthetic, with sedation available for comfort. Four implants are then placed in pre-planned positions, often with the back implants angled to maximise contact with available bone. Special multi-unit abutments are attached to allow a full-arch bridge to sit correctly. In most suitable cases, a temporary fixed bridge is fitted on the same day, so you leave with non-removable teeth.
The healing phase lasts around 3–6 months. You will follow a softer diet initially to protect the implants while they integrate with your bone. Follow-up visits in Roodepoort are used to monitor healing and fine-tune your bite. Once the implants are stable, detailed impressions are taken for your final bridge, which is made from stronger, more durable materials and carefully shaped and coloured to suit your face. The final fit includes bite adjustments and cleaning guidance to help you look after your new All-on-4 smile long term.
All-on-4 cost in Johannesburg and what affects it
All-on-4 is a complex, multi-step treatment that sits towards the higher end of the dental fee spectrum, usually in the $$$–$$$$ range per arch. It involves surgical planning, implant placement, temporary teeth and a final custom-made bridge, sometimes with sedation and additional procedures. For this reason, it is a more significant investment than conventional dentures, but often less than replacing every tooth individually with separate implants.
The total cost in the greater Johannesburg area is influenced by several factors. These include whether you need treatment on one arch or both, the number and type of implants and components used, and the materials chosen for your final bridge (for example, high-strength ceramics or reinforced acrylic). Additional procedures such as extractions, bone grafting, sinus lifts or treatment of existing gum disease can also affect the overall fee. Sedation, extended follow-up and maintenance visits are other considerations.
At Dr Chalita le Roux Inc. in Roodepoort, you receive a clear, itemised treatment plan before committing to All-on-4. The plan explains what is included at each stage, expected timelines, and which parts you can submit to your medical aid for possible reimbursement. The aim is to help you understand not just the cost, but the long-term value, expected lifespan and maintenance requirements of your treatment so you can make an informed decision.
Financing options and medical aid considerations
Most South African medical aids treat All-on-4 as a specialised or partially funded treatment. In many cases, only certain components, such as extractions, basic diagnostics or part of the surgical fees, may be reimbursed according to your plan rules, annual limits and available savings. At Dr Chalita le Roux Inc. in Roodepoort, you receive a detailed practice statement after each visit or treatment stage, which you submit to your scheme for reimbursement directly. The practice does not claim to bill schemes directly on your behalf.
Because All-on-4 is a $$$–$$$$ level treatment, many patients choose to combine medical aid reimbursements with personal funding, access bond facilities or third-party medical finance. Our administrative team can help you understand the timing of payments, likely claim codes and how to structure treatment stages to spread costs where clinically appropriate. Formal credit applications or finance approvals are handled by external providers, not by the practice.
Before starting, it is wise to contact your medical aid with the treatment codes and quotation to check what they may reimburse and whether pre-authorisation is required. During your consultation in Roodepoort, you are encouraged to ask direct questions about cost, payment timing and expected future maintenance fees. The focus is on transparency so you can decide if All-on-4 fits your health priorities and budget, or if alternative options such as implant overdentures or phased treatment might be more suitable right now.
All-on-4 vs dentures and traditional implants
All-on-4 sits between removable dentures and full-mouth traditional implants, offering a balance of stability, treatment time and cost. Compared with removable dentures, All-on-4 provides fixed teeth that are attached to implants and do not come out at night. This generally improves chewing strength, speech and confidence, and reduces the risk of sore spots and movement. Dentures, however, are usually in the $ cost range, involve no surgery and can be easier to adjust or replace in the short term, but often feel less secure and may accelerate bone loss over time.
Compared with traditional implants for every missing tooth, All-on-4 uses fewer implants to support a full arch, which can mean less surgery and a lower overall cost than placing many individual implants and crowns. Traditional full-mouth implant work, while highly customisable, can be more invasive, lengthier and in the $$$$ range when done across both jaws. All-on-4’s angled implant placement can also reduce the need for extensive grafting in some cases.
The right choice depends on your bone levels, health, budget and expectations. At Dr Chalita le Roux Inc. in Roodepoort, you will be shown the pros and cons of each option, including maintenance and long-term care. Some patients may start with dentures and later convert to implants, while others may be better suited to implant-supported overdentures or staged implant treatment rather than a full All-on-4 approach.

Frequently asked questions
How much do All-on-4 dental implants cost in Johannesburg?
All-on-4 dental implants fall into the $$$–$$$$ investment range in Roodepoort and greater Johannesburg. The fee usually includes planning, surgery, temporary teeth, and later the final bridge. Because every mouth is different, costs vary based on jaw condition, materials, and whether extra procedures are needed. At Dr Chalita le Roux Inc. we provide a personalised treatment plan and written quotation after a full assessment, so you know exactly what is involved before you decide.
What factors influence the cost of All-on-4 implants?
The cost of All-on-4 implants depends on several factors. These include how many jaws are treated (upper, lower or both), bone quality, whether extractions or bone grafting are required, the type of implant system and bridge materials, and the use of sedation. Laboratory and follow-up appointment costs are also built into the fee. After a detailed clinical and radiographic assessment in our Roodepoort practice, we prepare a tailored plan and quotation so your costs are clear upfront.
Are All-on-4 dental implants covered by medical aid in South Africa?
All-on-4 treatment is usually regarded by South African medical aids as a specialised dental procedure, not a basic benefit. Some schemes may reimburse a portion, others may not contribute at all, depending on your plan, available savings and annual limits. At Dr Chalita le Roux Inc. we are a cash practice: you settle with us directly, and we provide a detailed practice statement which you submit to your scheme for reimbursement directly.
Is the All-on-4 procedure worth the investment compared to dentures?
For many patients, All-on-4 is worth the higher upfront investment compared with conventional dentures. Fixed implant bridges feel more like natural teeth, help protect jawbone, and do not move when speaking or eating. You also avoid adhesives and the rubbing or looseness many denture wearers experience. However, it is surgery, with higher initial cost and maintenance responsibilities. During your consultation, we will compare All-on-4 with modern dentures so you can choose what suits your health, budget and lifestyle.
Am I a suitable candidate for All-on-4 dental implants?
You may be a good candidate for All-on-4 if you have no teeth or failing teeth in one or both jaws, and you want a fixed solution rather than removable dentures. Adequate bone, good general health, controlled medical conditions and non-smoking (or light smoking) all improve suitability and success. The clearest way to know for sure is a full clinical exam and 3D imaging at our Roodepoort practice, followed by a personalised treatment discussion.
How long does the All-on-4 procedure and healing process take?
The surgical phase for All-on-4 typically takes a few hours per jaw, including extractions and placement of the implants under local anaesthetic, often with sedation if appropriate. In many cases, a fixed temporary bridge is fitted on the same day. Initial healing of the gums usually takes a couple of weeks, while the implants themselves integrate with the bone over several months. The final, stronger bridge is usually fitted after this healing and testing period.
What is the difference between All-on-4 and traditional dental implants?
All-on-4 uses four strategically angled implants to support a full-arch fixed bridge, often allowing same-day temporary teeth and reducing the need for bone grafting. Traditional implant approaches may use more implants placed vertically and can involve staged surgery, grafting and longer treatment times. All-on-4 is designed specifically for full-arch replacement, while traditional implants are also used for single teeth or small bridges. Your jawbone, budget and goals will guide which approach is most appropriate.
Will I have teeth on the same day with All-on-4 treatment?
In many carefully selected cases, All-on-4 allows you to receive a fixed temporary bridge on the same day as implant placement, so you do not leave with removable dentures. This depends on your bone quality, bite, and how stable the implants are at surgery. These immediate teeth are provisional and are later replaced with a stronger final bridge after healing. During your Roodepoort assessment, we will explain whether same-day teeth are safe and realistic for you.
What financing and payment plan options are available for All-on-4?
At Dr Chalita le Roux Inc. in Roodepoort, payment for All-on-4 is usually made directly to the practice, with many patients using a combination of savings, access bonds, personal loans or external medical finance providers. We are not linked to any single finance company, but can provide the clinical documentation you need to apply. We also supply a detailed practice statement so you can submit to your medical aid for any reimbursement allowed by your plan.
