Case Details

Dentist: Dr Alex Fibishenko

Location: Burwood East

David, 31, had struggled with dental issues for most of his life. Traumatic experiences at the dentist left him anxious and avoiding appointments altogether. Over time, this led to deteriorating oral health — and eventually, his confidence began to suffer.

“Even though people hadn’t said anything, I knew they noticed,” David shared. “It was starting to affect how I felt about myself.”

Socialising became increasingly difficult, and the idea of smiling or laughing around others made him self-conscious. That’s when David decided it was time for a long-term solution — one that could restore both his dental function and his self-esteem.

After consulting with his treatment team, David proceeded with the All-On-4 Plus® method — a modern approach to full-arch dental restoration designed specifically for people with failing teeth or those who have lost most or all of their teeth. The technique involves placing four or more dental implants at strategic angles in the jaw to support a fixed, full-arch bridge. Unlike traditional implant methods, All-On-4 Plus® allows for immediate restoration, meaning patients can leave surgery with a set of functional teeth the same day.

For David, this streamlined approach meant he could overcome years of dental problems in a matter of days. He discovered that All On 4 Plus® was the right solution for him and urges people to do research, as it could be the right solution for them.

Beyond the physical transformation, the emotional impact of the treatment was profound. Friends and family began to notice the difference, and David found himself smiling and engaging with people more freely. “People have commented that they look fantastic,” he said. “And I’m not covering my face anymore when I laugh."

All-On-4 Plus® was the right choice for David because it addressed not only his long-standing oral health issues but also his desire for a functional, natural-looking smile without undergoing multiple surgeries or extended recovery times. The efficiency of the procedure and the immediate results helped him regain confidence quickly.

Today, David says he feels better when he looks in the mirror and more at ease in social situations. While outcomes vary depending on individual circumstances, David’s experience highlights the life-changing potential of All-On-4 Plus® for those facing complex dental challenges.
