UNDERSTAND YOUR OPTIONS

What are full-arch and All-on-X implants?

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.

START WITH YOUR SITUATION

One tooth, several teeth, or a full arch.

One missing tooth

Single-Tooth Implants

An implant-supported crown may replace one missing tooth. Assessment considers neighbouring teeth, gum health and available bone.

Several missing teeth

Multiple-Tooth Implants & Implant Bridges

An implant-supported bridge can replace several teeth. The number and position of supports are planned for your individual restoration.

YOUR TREATMENT JOURNEY

From assessment to ongoing care.

  1. Assessment

    We listen to your priorities and review your medical and dental history, teeth, gums and bite.

  2. Imaging

    OPG imaging is available onsite. CBCT is arranged by referral when clinically indicated to assess bone and anatomy.

  3. Your written plan

    Discuss options, risks, likely appointments, fees and anaesthetic choices before deciding whether to proceed.

  4. Surgical care

    Any extractions, implant placement or additional procedures are planned for your individual needs. Referral may be recommended for complex care.

  5. Restoration

    The timing of temporary and final teeth depends on healing, implant stability and your treatment plan. Immediate fixed teeth are not suitable for everyone.

  6. Ongoing care

    Regular reviews, professional cleaning and daily care help maintain your implants and restoration. Components may need repair or replacement over time.

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

Plan with confidence.

Am I suitable for full-arch implants?

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.

Are All-on-4 and All-on-X the same?

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.

Will I have temporary or final teeth straight away?

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.

What should I know about recovery and risks?

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.

What affects full-arch dental implants cost in Canberra?

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.

Can I discuss IV sedation?

IV sedation may be considered after dental and anaesthetic assessment. Suitability and scheduled availability need to be confirmed. Explore IV sedation and assessment →

How do I care for an implant-supported bridge?

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.
