FP1 Dental: Achieving a Natural Smile with All-on-4
FP1 dental smiles, offering a highly natural aesthetic with All-on-4 implants, are a specialty at Nuffield Dental in Singapore. Founded in 2014 by Dr Samintharaj Kumar, we were the first to bring Dr Paulo Malo’s All-on-4 to Singapore and have a rich history of expertise (formerly the exclusive affiliate of MALO DENTAL). Serving patients globally, including the USA, our specialized clinic utilizes advanced technology for tailored treatment plans.

Choosing the Right FP1 Dental for You
Not every patient is a candidate for FP1 restorations. If there has been significant bone loss, bone grafting may be necessary to ensure sufficient support for FP1 prosthetics. During your consultation, your dental surgeon will use advanced imaging to assess your bone structure and recommend the best option.

​The Traditional FP3 Approach and the MALO Protocol
In the past, FP3 restorations were the gold standard for All-on-4 treatments. The MALO Protocol, a well-known method, was primarily centred around FP3 designs. It involved placing implants in such a way that artificial gums would compensate for tissue loss. While FP3 prosthetics offered functional and aesthetic benefits, they sometimes resulted in a bulky appearance, and patients often reported discomfort or difficulty in speech.
Why are FP1 Dental Implants the Future?
Thanks to advancements in dental implantology and digital technology, FP1 restorations are now becoming the preferred choice for many patients. The key reason for this shift is that FP1 restorations provide a more natural appearance and feel. When bone preservation techniques are employed, FP1 restorations can maintain the natural contour of the gums, avoiding the need for artificial gum replacements.
Final Thoughts
The evolution from FP3 restorations to FP1 prosthesis reflects a broader shift towards more conservative and patient-centred treatment in modern implantology. As implant techniques continue to advance, more patients can now enjoy the benefits of natural-looking FP1 restorations, enhancing both their confidence and quality of life.
