All-On-X
‘All-on-X’ is a popular and effective dental treatment option for patients who are missing all or most of their teeth in one or both arches (upper and lower jaws). It provides a comprehensive and permanent solution to restore your smile and improve your oral health.
Also known as ‘All-on-4’ or ‘All-on-6’, this is a full-arch dental restoration technique that uses multiple dental implants to support a fixed dental bridge or denture – the “X” in All-on-X represents the number of implants placed in the jaw.

The Procedure Consists Of
Initial Consultation: Your dentist will conduct a thorough examination, including dental imaging (X-rays, CT scan) to assess your oral health and determine if you are a suitable candidate for All-on-X.
Treatment Planning: A customised treatment plan will be created based on your specific needs. Your dentist will determine the optimal number and placement of implants required to support the dental bridge or denture.
Implant Placement: During a surgical procedure, dental implants are placed into your jawbone. The number of implants used depends on your individual case but typically ranges from four to six implants per arch.
Temporary Restoration: In many cases, a temporary dental bridge or denture is attached to the implants on the same day of surgery. This allows you to have functional teeth while your implants heal and integrate with the jawbone.
Final Restoration: Once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone (which usually takes a few months), the temporary restoration is replaced with a permanent dental bridge or denture. This final restoration is custom designed to look and function like natural teeth.
Advantages of Dental Implant All-on-X
Aesthetics: All-on-X provides a natural-looking smile that is highly aesthetic and enhances your facial appearance. The dental bridge or denture is designed to mimic the shape, colour and alignment of natural teeth.
Stability: The dental implants used in All-on-X provide exceptional stability and support for the restoration. This means your new teeth will feel secure and won’t slip or move during speech or chewing.
Functionality: All-on-X allows you to regain the full function of your teeth, enabling you to bite, chew, and speak with confidence. You can enjoy a wide range of foods without restrictions, unlike removable dentures.
Bone Preservation: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone just like natural tooth roots. This helps prevent bone loss and preserves the overall structure and integrity of your jawbone.
Long-Term Solution: With proper care and regular dental check-ups, All-on-X restorations can last for many years, providing a durable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth.
Improved Oral Health.
