All-on-4 at Albius Dental Center: What's Included and What to Ask

What All-on-4 means at Albius Dental Center

All-on-4 is a full-arch implant technique that places four titanium implants per jaw and loads a temporary prosthetic on the same day. Albius Dental Center is a premium-listed dental clinic in Southeast Asia with 61 verified patient reviews averaging 3.9/5. This article covers what the procedure actually involves at this clinic, what is and is not included in a typical package, and the practical questions worth asking before you book.

The procedure: what happens and when

A standard All-on-4 case typically runs across two distinct phases:

1. Initial visit (3-5 days): CBCT scan and treatment planning on arrival, extractions of remaining teeth if needed, implant placement under local anaesthesia or sedation, and fitting of a temporary fixed prosthetic before you leave. You leave with a functional arch, not a gap.
2. Final prosthetic visit (4-6 months later): Once osseointegration is confirmed, the temporaries are replaced with the permanent arch. Material choice at this stage (acrylic, hybrid ceramic, zirconia) affects both cost and longevity significantly.

At clinics like Albius Dental Center that handle international patients regularly, the planning process typically begins before your arrival: you send your existing scans or OPG X-ray, the clinic reviews your bone density and arch width, and you receive a written treatment plan with cost breakdown before booking flights.

What is typically included, and what isn't

All-on-4 package pricing at dental tourism clinics usually covers the implants, abutments, the surgical procedure, anaesthesia, temporary prosthetic, and one set of follow-up adjustments. What it often does not include:

• Pre-surgical extractions (priced separately per tooth)
• Bone grafting if density is insufficient (assessed from your CBCT scan)
• The final permanent arch, if quoted separately from the temporaries
• Post-return adjustments or repairs after you fly home

When comparing quotes from Albius Dental Center against other clinics, confirm which of these items are in scope. The single biggest source of price confusion in All-on-4 dental tourism is whether the quoted figure covers the final prosthetic or only the temporaries.

Materials: what to ask about

The final arch material is one of the most consequential decisions in an All-on-4 case:

• Acrylic (PMMA): Lightest, least expensive, more prone to chipping over time. Often used for temporaries, sometimes offered as a permanent option at the lower end of the price range.
• Hybrid ceramic: Composite material with better aesthetics and durability than pure acrylic. Mid-range in cost.
• Full-arch zirconia: Strongest and most natural-looking. Highest cost but typically the most durable option for long-term wear.

Ask Albius Dental Center specifically which material is included in their quoted price, what the upgrade path looks like, and which option their treating dentist recommends for your case given your bite forces and bone density.

Questions to ask Albius Dental Center before booking

• What implant brand and system do you use, and is it available in my home country for future component access?
• Is the quoted price for one arch or both? Does it include the permanent prosthetic or only temporaries?
• What bone density do you require, and what happens to the timeline if grafting is needed?
• How many visits does the full case require, and what is the minimum stay for the initial phase?
• What is your documented process for patients who need adjustments or repairs after returning home?

  They have a professional dentist. He saved two of my teeth, I think. The day before I came, he informed me that I had an appointment. They call you and that's convenient. It's convenient. They also have parking. Be careful of the parking guy))) recommended - you'll be in reliable hands

• ★☆☆☆☆ Rebecca

  I’m going to get upset again just writing this. I went here on the recommendation of a friend of mine. I’ve had some tooth pain for a long time, and have seen multiple dentists, but it is still there. I was told the doctor I tried to get an appointment with was great because she listens and explains the procedures she thinks will work. I went to...

• ★★★★★ Roman

  Best dentist I've ever been to. I felt very well understood and taken care of. The principle of "first do no harm" is upheld here. Instead of pulling otherwise perfectly healthy teeth as others suggested to me, here I got proper treatment last year and never had issues ever again.

A note on dental tourism planning

A few things worth keeping in mind regardless of which clinic you choose:

• Travel logistics still apply. Even with a well-run clinic, dental tourism involves visa timing, recovery windows, and the possibility of needing follow-up care after returning home. Implant work typically requires a second visit several months after the initial placement.
• Pricing varies by case. Any figures shown are starting points. Your actual treatment cost depends on imaging, bone condition, and materials selected, which can vary by a factor of three or more for the same procedure.
• Get a written treatment plan. Before committing to travel, request a written plan from the clinic via SmileJet's quote system. That plan should specify procedures, materials, session count, and total cost. If a clinic cannot provide this, that is itself useful information.

How to get a treatment plan from Albius Dental Center

The most direct next step is to request a quote through SmileJet. Submit your case details (existing scans if you have them, which arch or arches need treatment, any medical history relevant to surgery), and Albius Dental Center will respond with a personalised treatment plan and cost breakdown, typically within 24 hours. There are no fees on the SmileJet side and no commitment required from you.
