Same-day clarity
What “teeth in a day” usually means
Some patients can receive fixed temporary teeth the day implants are placed. That temporary bridge helps you leave with teeth that stay in place while the implants heal. The final custom bridge is made and secured later, after healing and integration.
Day-one goal
If your scan and treatment conditions allow, implants are placed and a fixed temporary bridge is attached.
Healing phase
You follow soft-food and cleaning instructions while the implants integrate with the jawbone.
Final bridge
After healing, your custom final bridge is secured for long-term function, comfort, and appearance.
What to expect

Here is the practical version: we confirm candidacy, plan the arch, place implants when appropriate, and then move from temporary teeth to the final bridge after healing.

Questions
All-on-X dental implants: frequently asked questions
What are All-on-X dental implants?
All-on-X is a fixed, non-removable way to replace a full upper or lower arch using a small number of dental implants. The implants are placed in the jaw and support a full bridge of replacement teeth. The "X" means the implant count is planned for your bone and bite — commonly four, but sometimes five or six. For many qualified patients, a fixed temporary bridge can be attached the day implants are placed while the implants heal.
What are the benefits of All-on-X?
Because the teeth are anchored to implants instead of resting on the gums, they feel secure and let you bite and chew with confidence — no adhesives and no removing them at night. They look and function much like natural teeth, help preserve the jawbone, and replace a full arch with fewer implants, and often fewer appointments, than replacing each tooth individually.
Is All-on-X the same as all-on-4? What else is it called?
All-on-4 is the best-known version of this full-arch concept, using four implants per arch. All-on-X describes the same fixed-bridge idea with the implant count tailored to the case, so some patients may do best with five or six implants. You may also hear this treatment called implant dentures, fixed teeth, "screwed-in" teeth, all-in-one implants, or a hybrid prosthesis.
How quickly can I get All-on-X?
In many qualified cases, the implants and a fixed temporary bridge can be placed in one visit, so you go home with teeth that stay put while you heal. Your custom final bridge is placed later, after the implants have integrated with the bone. Your exact timeline depends on your oral health, bone, bite, and treatment plan.
How long do All-on-X dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, the implants themselves are designed to last for decades — often a lifetime. The fixed bridge attached to them sees daily wear and may need maintenance or eventual replacement over the years. Your dentist will review long-term care at your consultation.
What is the procedure for All-on-X dental implants?
After planning your case with a 3D scan, your dentist removes any remaining failing teeth, places the implants in the jawbone, and, if your case qualifies, attaches a fixed temporary bridge. The implants then integrate with the bone over the next few months, and once healed, your custom final bridge is secured in place.
Are All-on-X dental implants removable?
No. Unlike traditional dentures, an All-on-X bridge is fixed to the implants and is not taken out by the patient. It stays in your mouth and is cleaned in place, much like natural teeth. Only your dentist can remove it for servicing if that is ever needed.
Are All-on-X dental implants permanent?
They are designed as a long-term, fixed solution. The implants integrate with your jawbone, and the attached bridge is not removed for nightly soaking the way dentures are. Like any dental restoration, the bridge may need maintenance over time, and routine cleanings and check-ups help protect the result.
How many teeth are on All-on-X dental implants?
A full-arch bridge typically replaces about 10 to 14 teeth, giving you a complete set for the upper or lower arch. The exact number depends on your jaw size and the design of your restoration.
What are All-on-X dental implants made of?
The implants are made of biocompatible titanium or a titanium alloy, which fuses naturally with bone. The fixed bridge is usually made from durable materials such as zirconia or a high-strength acrylic over a metal or zirconia framework, chosen for strength and a natural appearance.
