Once you decide that All-on-X is for you. Your dentist will do a full comprehensive assessment of your oral condition. This will include a full evaluation of your teeth, gums and bone through a series of x-rays, dental CT and photos.

All-on-X is designed to restore your function and importantly your smile. We will have extensive discussions about what your dream smile would be and do digital planning to help rebuild your smile and confidence.

If you have any remaining teeth, teeth extractions and implant placement will be done in one procedure. On the day of surgery, your dentist will place 4-6 implants (depending on your package) and scans will be performed in order to make your new smile. This procedure will last a few hours and can be done under local anesthesia or under general anesthesia at both locations.

The next day you will have try in teeth inserted to verify your smile design and your bite. These teeth normally stay in for a week and is your first chance of seeing your new smile!

If you have elected for this package you will receive your final teeth within 7 business days. You will immediately feel a new level of confidence in function and your new smile. At present there is no procedure in dentistry that offers such a transformation in this short of a time.

You will have your temporary teeth inserted the next week. You will immediately feel secure and confident to start smiling straight away. You will then have these temporary teeth for 3-4 months, this allows you to fully test run your new smile and your new bite whilst your implants become fully osseointegrated. Should you want changes to your smile such as colour, length, shape these can be done on your final teeth once you have had time to discover what you like or don’t like.

After your implants are integrated we will then proceed with your final teeth. These will be made with Premium Acrylic or Zirconia depending on your package selection.

All-on-4 dental implants are a full arch teeth replacement solution that can be done with just four implants. The implants support a full set of fixed, natural-looking teeth, and act as a more comfortable, secure and permanent alternative to dentures.

Yes, All-on-4 dental implants are a safe and effective tooth replacement procedure. Our dentists have years of experience in this surgical procedure. We are fully equipped with the latest technology required to safely perform All on X with consistent high quality results.

Acrylic and zirconia (ceramic) are both high quality effective materials for All-on-X replacement teeth. However they have a few differences:

• Zirconia, specifically zirconium dioxide, is a popular choice in restorative dentistry, as it is one of the strongest and durable materials available. Zirconia teeth are more resistant to chipping, cracking, and wear, making them ideal replacements for all-on-x teeth due to their ability to withstand significant chewing forces. Zirconia is the more recommended long-term solution, offering longer-lasting, natural-looking results.
• Acrylic – Whilst acrylic is a popular material of choice the are more prone to wear and stain over time and may need to be replaced sooner when compared to zirconia

At Fix Dental, our premium All-on-4 dental implants use zirconia teeth on a reinforced bar to ensure longer-lasting results.

All-on-X is an extensive surgical procedure and a degree of swelling, post-operative pain is expected; however, most patients report the discomfort is similar to having multiple extractions and the discomfort is manageable. At Fix Dental, we prioritise your comfort and well being and medications and post-operative instructions will be issued to minimise you discomfort.

At Fix Dental, most of our patients report that swelling and pain is manageable. Most of out patients are able to return to work after 1 week.

The implants are designed to be permanent. However, depending on the individual care and maintenance of the fixed teeth, they should last 20 – 25 years.

Missing, damaged, or rotting teeth can lead to several long-term issues, including misalignment and bone resorption, which can affect your facial structure. By opting out of a recommended All-on-4 dental implant treatment, you may make future dental treatments more complicated and expensive. 

The lifespan of All-on-4 dental implants depends on a few factors, but here’s the breakdown:

Implant Fixtures (the titanium screws in the jaw)

• Designed to last 20+ years, often a lifetime if cared for properly.
• Studies show success rates of 95-98% at 10+ years.
• Failures usually happen in the first year (healing phase) rather than later.

Prosthetic Bridge (the teeth attached on top)

• These don’t last forever like the implants.
• Typical lifespan: 10-15 years before needing repair, replacement, or an upgrade.
• Wear, chipping, staining, or gum changes can mean you’ll eventually need a new set.

What Affects Longevity

• Oral hygiene (brushing, flossing, professional cleaning around implants).
• Lifestyle factors (smoking and heavy alcohol use reduce lifespan).
• Bite forces & grinding (clenching/grinding can shorten prosthetic life).
• Regular dental reviews (catching gum/implant issues early keeps them stable)

All-on-X helps to preserve your facial structure which can collapse after tooth loss. Talking, chewing and laughing become easier and painless, allowing you to be free to enjoy your favourite foods and speak confidently.

Yes, our All-on-4 implants are designed to look like natural teeth. They’re customised to suit your mouth, with various shades and styles of teeth available in order to look natural and aesthetically pleasing.

All-on-X are a fixed solution to replace your teeth. Your prosthetic teeth are secured permanently to the implants and can only be removed by your dentist.

Denture locators help stabilise traditional dentures. Like traditional dentures, locators dentures still require to be removed and cleaned after meals and during sleep.

Your dental surgeon will discuss in detail your post-treatment care to ensure your recovery is fast and smooth. You might feel some mild pressure or tenderness for a day or two, but most people return to normal activities and experience the benefits almost straight away.
