Same-Day Teeth (All-on-X): Who Is a Good Candidate?

What Is All-on-X?

‍

All-on-X – is a full-arch implant-supported prosthetic technique where "X" represents the individualized number of dental implants (typically 4 to 8). Implants are surgically placed in the jaw, and immediately following the procedure, a temporary fixed prosthesis is attached.

‍

Popular Options:

• All-on-4 – 4 implants (ideal for limited bone volume)
• All-on-6 – 6 implants (improved load distribution)
• All-on-8 – 8 implants (maximum reliability)

Patients 40+ Years
