If most teeth in one arch are missing or failing, a full-arch implant bridge may be one option. The first appointment is used to assess what may be retained, what may need removal, whether implants are suitable and how All-on-X compares with other replacement pathways.
Missing or failing teeth across a full arch? Start with an assessment of suitability, alternatives, timing and costs.

All-on-X is a treatment concept in which a fixed bridge replaces a complete upper or lower arch and is supported by a planned number of implants. The number and position of implants are selected for the individual case; the “X” does not guarantee a particular number.
All-on-X is designed to replace a full upper or lower arch, rather than a single missing tooth.
The bridge is supported by implants placed in planned positions within the jaw.
The bridge is not removed by the patient for routine cleaning. It still requires daily cleaning underneath and regular professional maintenance.
Suitability depends on oral health, bone volume, medical history, bite, expectations and maintenance ability.
It is one full-arch replacement pathway. It is not automatically the right option for every patient with missing or failing teeth.
It is designed for a complete upper or lower arch, not a small gap.
The number and position are planned for the individual case.
Teeth are not assumed to need removal until their condition is reviewed.
A provisional fixed bridge may be possible only when clinical conditions allow.
The goal is to understand the condition of your mouth and compare realistic pathways.
Remaining teeth are assessed before extractions or full-arch replacement are considered.
Bone, gums, bite, medical history, smoking and healing factors are reviewed.
Immediate provisional teeth depend on clinical conditions and are not guaranteed.
Dentures, implant-retained dentures, selected implants or staged care may be compared.
All-on-X may be discussed when most teeth in an upper or lower arch are missing, failing or have a poor long-term outlook. The consultation should also consider whether selected teeth can be retained and whether a less extensive pathway is reasonable.
Some patients may be better suited to removable dentures, implant-retained dentures, individual implants, bridges, staged restorative treatment or referral. The suitable pathway depends on diagnosis, health, anatomy, maintenance needs, priorities and budget.
A provisional fixed bridge may be possible soon after implant placement in selected cases, but this is not guaranteed. Timing depends on anatomy, implant stability, healing factors and the treatment plan.
Full-arch implant treatment usually involves assessment, records, surgical and restorative planning, a provisional phase where suitable, healing, and a final bridge. The order and timing vary with the teeth, gums, jawbone, bite and any referral needs.
Your dentist checks the teeth, gums, bite, concerns, medical history and expectations.
X-rays or CBCT imaging may be recommended where clinically required to assess jaw structure and implant positions.
You receive a staged plan covering suitable pathways, alternatives, provisional and final bridge timing, estimated fees, risks and maintenance.
Review teeth, gums, bone, bite, health history and imaging needs.
Discuss All-on-X, dentures, other implant options and staged care.
Confirm extractions, implants, provisional timing and referral needs.
Move through healing, final bridge planning and ongoing reviews.
Cleaning access, reviews and repairs need to be considered before treatment.
Clean around and underneath the bridge using the recommended aids.
Report bleeding, swelling, bad taste or soreness around implants.
Grinding and heavy bite forces can increase bridge and component wear.
Reviews monitor the implants, gums, bite, bridge and cleaning access.
The suitable pathway depends on what can be retained, anatomy, health, cleaning ability, priorities and budget.
A fixed full-arch bridge for selected patients.
A removable full-arch option with different costs and maintenance.
Implants may help stabilise a removable denture where suitable.
Some teeth may be retained or replaced individually after assessment.
Ask for a staged explanation rather than comparing only the headline procedure.
Healing, infection, implant failure and anatomical complications vary by patient.
Screws, teeth and bridge materials can wear or need repair over time.
Include imaging, surgery, provisional teeth, the final bridge and referral where relevant.
Budget for cleaning aids, professional maintenance, reviews and possible repairs.
The suitable tooth-replacement pathway depends on how many teeth can be retained, the jawbone and gums, medical factors, cleaning ability, expectations, treatment burden and budget.
A fixed full-arch implant bridge for selected patients who need replacement of a complete upper or lower arch.
Dentures can replace multiple missing teeth and may be suitable as a temporary, staged or long-term option.
Implants may sometimes be used to help stabilise a removable denture, depending on assessment.
Single or multiple implants may be considered when only selected teeth are missing.
Dental bridges may be discussed when adjacent teeth, bite and oral health make this appropriate.
Some patients need gum care, extractions, temporary teeth or other treatment before implant planning.
Dental implant treatment involves surgery and long-term maintenance. Risks and limitations vary depending on your health, anatomy, healing response and the complexity of treatment.
Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, gum disease, poor oral hygiene and some medical conditions can increase implant treatment risks.
All-on-X fees vary because the pathway may include imaging, extractions, surgery, implant components, provisional teeth, final bridge materials, laboratory work, maintenance and referral. A meaningful estimate requires assessment and planning.

All-on-X describes a full upper or lower arch bridge supported by a planned number of dental implants. The implant number and positions depend on the individual assessment; the name does not guarantee a specific number.
A provisional fixed bridge may be possible soon after implant placement for selected patients, but it is not guaranteed. Timing depends on implant stability, bone, bite, healing factors and the clinical plan. A final bridge is generally planned after further healing and review.
Remaining teeth are assessed individually. Teeth that are healthy or reasonably restorable may not need removal. If extractions form part of the proposed plan, the reasons, alternatives and timing should be explained before treatment.
Active gum disease, infection and limited bone can change suitability and sequencing. Your dentist may recommend stabilisation, further imaging, a different implant approach, grafting assessment, referral or a non-implant alternative.
Fees depend on the number of arches, imaging, extractions, surgery, implants, provisional teeth, final bridge materials, laboratory work, maintenance and referral. A meaningful written estimate can only be prepared after assessment and planning.
No lifespan can be guaranteed. Implants and bridge components can experience biological or technical complications, and parts may need maintenance, repair or replacement. Daily cleaning, risk-factor control and regular professional reviews are important.
This information is general in nature and does not replace professional dental advice. All-on-X dental implant suitability, treatment options, risks, benefits, costs and outcomes vary between patients. Your dentist will assess your oral health before treatment begins.
Dental implant treatment involves surgery. Possible risks can include pain, swelling, bleeding, infection, delayed healing, implant failure, nerve or sinus complications, prosthetic wear, maintenance needs and further treatment. Immediate provisional fixed teeth are not suitable or achievable in every case. Relevant risks, alternatives, staging and maintenance requirements are explained before treatment.
Book online or call to arrange a full-arch implant assessment. The appointment is used to compare All-on-X with dentures, implant-retained dentures, individual implants and staged treatment where relevant.
