Missing several teeth—or considering replacing a full arch? Start with a conversation at A1 Dental Barton. We assess your teeth, oral health and goals before discussing whether a fixed implant-supported restoration is appropriate for you.
UNDERSTAND YOUR OPTIONS
Full-arch dental implants support a fixed replacement for an upper or lower arch of teeth. “All-on-X” describes an approach where the number of implants is chosen for the planned restoration and your clinical circumstances.
The number and position of implants depend on bone, anatomy, bite, restorative space and overall treatment planning. Assessment also considers whether existing teeth can be preserved and whether another option would suit you better.
People searching for full mouth dental implants may mean both upper and lower arches. Each arch needs its own assessment and plan.

YOUR TREATMENT JOURNEY
We listen to your priorities and review your medical and dental history, teeth, gums and bite.
OPG imaging is available onsite. CBCT is arranged by referral when clinically indicated to assess bone and anatomy.
Discuss options, risks, likely appointments, fees and anaesthetic choices before deciding whether to proceed.
Any extractions, implant placement or additional procedures are planned for your individual needs. Referral may be recommended for complex care.
The timing of temporary and final teeth depends on healing, implant stability and your treatment plan. Immediate fixed teeth are not suitable for everyone.
Regular reviews, professional cleaning and daily care help maintain your implants and restoration. Components may need repair or replacement over time.
PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Suitability depends on oral and general health, available bone, gum disease, smoking, medications and your ability to maintain the restoration. An assessment is needed; existing teeth are not automatically removed.
All-on-4 refers to a full-arch approach using four implants. All-on-X allows the number to vary according to the treatment plan. Searching for All-on-4 implants in Canberra does not establish which approach is suitable for you.
Temporary teeth may be part of a staged plan. Whether they can be fixed at the time of surgery depends on clinical conditions. Final teeth are usually planned after an appropriate healing and review period; your clinician explains the proposed sequence.
Recovery varies with the procedure and your health. Possible problems include pain, swelling, bleeding, infection, implant failure, nerve or sinus injury and damage or wear to the restoration. Your team explains the risks relevant to you, aftercare and when to seek help.
Fees depend on the arch or arches treated, implant number, imaging, extractions, any additional procedures, temporary and final restorations, and maintenance. Request an itemised written plan. Anaesthetic and facility fees may be separate if IV sedation is planned.
IV sedation may be considered after dental and anaesthetic assessment. Suitability and scheduled availability need to be confirmed. Explore IV sedation and assessment →
Daily cleaning beneath and around the restoration and professional maintenance are important. Your team demonstrates suitable cleaning methods and agrees on an individual review schedule.
