All-on-4 is a revolutionary full-arch dental implant solution that replaces all teeth in the upper or lower jaw using only 4 Nobel Biocare dental implants. Developed in 1995 by Dr. Paulo Malo, it has transformed the field of implant dentistry by enabling patients to leave the clinic with a provisional fixed bridge—often within 24 hours of surgery. This treatment has become so popular over the last two decades that it is now the treatment solution of choice for edentulous patients. The All On 4 technique is minimally invasive, easy maintained, cost-effective and has extremely high success rates compared to other traditional full jaw implant methods.
The treatment consists of placing only 4 dental implants per jaw, in strategic positions , and No bone grafting required, to support a full set of upper or lower teeth. The teeth are fixed to the implants and can only be removed by a dentist. This fixed bridge gives patients the ability to have a strong bite, eat comfortably while achieving great esthetic results all in just 24 hours, without the need for bone grafting, nerve repositioning and at a fraction of the cost compared to the traditional full jaw implants. By eliminating the need for bone grafting (Graft less Option), patients not only save time and cost compared to traditional bone grafting procedures, but also have a much more predictable outcome and can have a brand new set of teeth in just 24 hours.
Thanks to its 30+ years of clinical success, standardized worldwide training, and extensive research confirming high survival and satisfaction rates. If you value long-term reliability, cost transparency, and a solution supported by decades of peer-reviewed data, choose a Malo Certified clinic—like ours at Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic—where you can trust every step to align with the original All-on-4 standards set by Dr. Paulo Malo.
Why Bangkok Smile? According to Dr. Paulo Maló, Dr. Sermsakul Wongtiraporn and his Bangkok Smile Dental Group share the same core values as our very own, on top of having the most outstanding dental professionals and the best clinic locations in Thailand.” And so on August 18, 2016, Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic formed an exclusive partnership with Dr. Paulo Malo and was made public with a formal Signing Ceremony held at Bangkok Smile’s Sukhumvit 5 branch.
At Bangkok Smile, We use only this authentic Malo Dental protocol with the highest success rate guaranteed, while A large number of dental clinics promote All On 4 treatment while they only have attended weekend seminars on this complex subject. They often offer reduced fees to attract patients to practice what they have learned at these seminars and many times, they promote other implant systems to justify the reduced fees. Additionally, Variations like “All on 5,” “All on 6,” or “All on X” often lack robust evidence and may unnecessarily add costs by adding more numbers of dental implants—all while deviating from the proven science that underpins the true All-on-4. Why would you want to risk your treatment with unproven All On 4 treatment?

Dr. Paulo Malo Global Dental Network dentists have been trained, tested and supervised directly by Dr. Paulo Malo and his clinical faculty team of residential training programs in Europe. In addition to this extensive training, Dr. Paulo Malo faculty spend several months every year to update and oversee his Dentists to ensure the latest treatment protocols are being followed while measuring the success rate of each case.
Unfortunately, many other clinics that claim to be an expert in All On 4, have only spent a weekend at a seminar to get an overview of this complex treatment. Yet, they reduce their fees and substitute dental implant brands to further reduce cost to attract patients so they can gain additional experience in this complex and life changing treatment solution. When you visit a network office from Dr. Malo Paulo, you are insured that you are receiving the most trained professionals in offering All On 4 treatment. Bangkok Smile is the only official partner clinic with Dr. Paulo Malo in Thailand.
While many dental clinics offer “All-on-4,” our original Malo Protocol is different, as it involves specific surgical implant positions, strict prosthetic guidelines, the immediate loading and ongoing quality control. This ensures higher success rates, validated by decades of clinical data
Success Rate of Malo Dental All-on-4TM Protocol in Implant stage and Prosthesis stage.
According to the study published by JADA, The official journal of American Dental Association, the success rate among 245 patients studied over a 10-year period from 2001-2011 was 94.8% for dental implants and 99.2% for dental prosthesis

Below is a typical treatment flow for All-on-4 at Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic:
Consultation & Assessment

- Discussion of your medical history, concerns, and smile aspirations.
Personalized Treatment Planning
- Using the Malo Protocol, our specialists analyze bone density, jaw structure, and bite alignment.
- Virtual models help pinpoint ideal implant placement.
Implant Placement Surgery
- If necessary, we remove failing or remaining teeth.
- Four implants are placed: two vertically in the front and two tilted in the posterior region.
- A provisional bridge is often fitted within 24 hours, giving you immediate function.
Healing & Osseointegration
- Over the next 3–6 months, the implants integrate with your jawbone.
- You’ll wear your provisional bridge, which is fully functional but lighter than the final prosthesis.
Final Restoration
- Once healing is complete, we take impressions for your customized final bridge.
- This definitive prosthesis (often acrylic or zirconia on a titanium framework) offers lifelike aesthetics and long-term durability.
Follow-Up & Maintenance
- Regular check-ups ensure proper healing, implant stability, and overall gum health.
- Ongoing cleanings and good home care habits help protect your investment.
