Dental Implants & Full-Arch Restoration
All-on-X "Teeth in a Day"
A complete, fixed arch of natural-looking teeth supported by as few as four to six implants, often delivered in a single appointment. A life-changing solution for failing teeth or loose dentures.
Overview
A full set of fixed teeth, often in one day
All-on-X replaces a complete upper or lower arch of teeth with a fixed bridge supported by as few as four to six dental implants. The "X" reflects that the number of implants is chosen for your mouth, not a one-size-fits-all formula.
In many cases the remaining failing teeth are removed, the implants are placed and a fixed temporary set of teeth is attached in the same appointment. After healing, it is replaced with a strong, final bridge designed for everyday function and a natural look.
This treatment may help if you have:
- Many failing or missing teeth
- Loose or uncomfortable dentures
- Advanced gum disease
- Wanting fixed, non-removable teeth

Benefits
Why choose All-on-X
Fixed, not removable
Your teeth stay in place. There are no adhesives, and nothing to take out at night.

A fixed arch restores chewing strength and stability that removable dentures often cannot match.
Fewer implants, efficient care
Angled implant placement can often make the most of existing bone, which may reduce the need for grafting.
All-on-X ("Teeth in a Day"): your questions, answered
General information to help you prepare. Your periodontist will recommend treatment based on your exam.
All-on-X is a full-arch restoration in which a fixed bridge of teeth is supported by four to six dental implants. It replaces an entire upper or lower arch with a stable, non-removable set of teeth.
In many cases, failing teeth are removed, implants are placed, and a fixed temporary arch is attached in a single appointment. Patients leave with functional teeth while the implants heal beneath the surface.
Most arches are supported by four to six implants. The exact number depends on bone volume, bite forces, and the design of the final restoration, which is determined through 3D CBCT planning.
A traditional denture rests on the gums and is removable, while All-on-X is fixed to implants anchored in the jawbone. This provides greater stability, stronger chewing ability, and no need for adhesives.
Not always. Angled implant placement often allows the procedure to use existing bone, reducing the need for grafting. Your CBCT scan shows whether additional bone support is required.
Most patients return to normal daily activities within a few days. A soft-food diet is followed for several weeks while the implants integrate with the jawbone.
The final bridge is usually placed three to six months after surgery, once the implants have fully integrated. It is custom designed for strength, function, and a natural appearance.
Yes, many denture wearers transition to All-on-X for improved comfort and stability. A consultation evaluates bone condition and overall health to confirm suitability.
Daily brushing, cleaning around the implants with recommended tools, and regular professional maintenance visits keep the restoration healthy. Routine checkups help protect both the implants and the surrounding gums.
Costs depend on the number of implants, the need for extractions or grafting, and the type of final bridge. A consultation provides imaging, a personalized treatment plan, and a detailed cost estimate.
