All on X is one of several treatment options for missing teeth. It is most commonly considered by patients in the following situations.
For patients currently using removable dentures who are seeking a fixed, more stable alternative. Suitability depends on bone condition, general health and individual goals — assessed at consultation.
For people missing most or all natural teeth in the upper, lower or both jaws. Other treatment options — including conventional dentures and individual implants — will also be discussed.
For patients whose remaining teeth are loose, damaged or failing due to advanced decay, gum disease or trauma, where extractions may be clinically indicated.
All on X is not suitable for everyone. Suitability and the most appropriate treatment for your situation are determined after a clinical assessment, which includes 3D imagery at the diagnostic stage and review of your medical and dental history.
Most people considering full-arch implants want to understand what's actually involved. The information below is general and not a substitute for individual clinical advice.
The treatment uses four titanium implants placed into the jawbone to support a fixed bridge of teeth. The two posterior implants are angled to make use of available bone, which can reduce the need for bone grafting in some cases. Outcomes depend on individual factors including bone quality, oral hygiene and general health.
Some swelling and discomfort is normal for several days following surgery, generally managed with prescribed medication. A soft-food diet is required during the integration phase (usually 6–8 weeks). Final teeth are typically fitted at 4–6 months. Recovery time and experience vary between individuals.
All surgical procedures carry risks. For implant treatment these can include infection, bleeding, nerve disturbance, sinus complications, implant failure or the need for revision treatment. Risks specific to your situation will be explained at consultation. You may wish to seek a second opinion before proceeding.
A clinical overview of how All on X treatment is planned and performed at our practice. General educational content — not a representation of any individual patient outcome.
After your complimentary consultation and paid diagnostics stage, the treatment itself happens across three consecutive days, with an optional zirconia upgrade 3–6 months later. Individual timing varies based on clinical factors.
Dental implants are placed under IV sedation or general anaesthetic. Any remaining non-viable teeth in the jaw are removed. Driving is not permitted for 24 hours after sedation, so a support person is required.
A prototype is tried in so you can see and approve the shape, size and colour of your new smile before the acrylic is finalised. Any adjustments are discussed at this stage.
Your acrylic teeth are finalised and fitted. For patients staying with acrylic, this is your functional long-term smile ($19,000 per jaw). A 4-week review follows, covering oral hygiene and nightguard instructions.
Zirconia is an optional upgrade from acrylic ($25,000 per jaw), fitted across 2–3 additional appointments: first try-in, second try-in, then final permanent insert. Long-term maintenance includes a 6-month clean and a 2-year deep clean if required.
Acrylic teeth: $19,000 per jaw. Zirconia teeth: $25,000 per jaw. Prices are a general guide and confirmed after consultation.
*Indicative weekly figure based on acrylic teeth at $19,000 per jaw, spread over a 60-month interest-free payment plan via an approved third-party lender, after standard deposit. Subject to credit approval and lender T&Cs. Interest-free periods only apply when the payment schedule set by the provider is met.
The procedure is performed under IV sedation or general anaesthetic. Some swelling and discomfort post-operatively is normal and is generally managed with prescribed medication. Pain experience is individual and varies between people.
A soft-food diet is generally required for 6–8 weeks following your Day 3 acrylic teeth fitting, while implants integrate with bone. Most people are then able to gradually return to a wider range of foods, subject to clinical advice.
Final teeth are designed by the prosthodontic team to suit your individual features. Aesthetic outcome is discussed at the planning stage; expectations should be set during the consultation, not based on images of other patients.
Published clinical evidence supports good long-term outcomes for many patients with appropriate care. The bridge of teeth typically requires periodic review and may need replacement over time. Long-term outcome is not guaranteed and depends on individual factors.
Indicative pricing is $19,000 per jaw for acrylic teeth or $25,000 per jaw for zirconia teeth. Treatment costs vary depending on clinical needs, materials selected and complexity, and are confirmed in a written quote after consultation.
All surgical procedures carry risks. For implant surgery these include infection, bleeding, nerve disturbance, sinus complications, implant failure or the need for revision treatment. Risks are explained in detail before consent. You may wish to obtain a second opinion from another appropriately qualified practitioner.
The initial consultation gives you the information needed to make an informed decision. There is no obligation to proceed with treatment, and we encourage you to seek a second opinion if helpful.
