Scroll to explore

All-on-X is a full-arch dental implant restoration that replaces an entire upper or lower set of teeth using just four to six strategically placed implant fixtures. The result is a fixed, non-removable prosthesis that looks, feels and functions like natural teeth — without the slipping, adhesives or limited bite force associated with traditional removable dentures.

Dr. Cho is experienced in All-on-X treatment planning and restoration. With over 9,000 implant fixtures placed throughout his 35+ year career — and as a recognised Key Opinion Leader for the DIO Implant System — he has the clinical depth to assess your bone anatomy, discuss realistic expectations, and develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific case.

All-on-X is particularly well-suited to patients who have lost most or all of their teeth on one or both arches, who are struggling with poorly fitting dentures, or who have been told they have insufficient bone for individual implants. The technique uses angled posterior implant placement to maximise the available bone — meaning many patients can avoid extensive bone grafting and the longer treatment timelines that come with it.

When you might consider All-on-X: failing dentition where multiple teeth need to be extracted anyway, severe gum disease compromising remaining teeth, longstanding removable dentures that have become uncomfortable, or a desire to restore confident chewing and a natural-looking smile in a comprehensive single plan. Dr. Cho will openly discuss whether All-on-X is the right option for you — and what the realistic alternatives are.

How All-on-X compares to alternatives. Compared to traditional dentures, All-on-X is fixed in place — it does not need adhesives, does not move when eating or speaking, and stimulates the jawbone in a way removable dentures cannot. Compared to placing one implant per tooth, All-on-X uses fewer implants overall, which often reduces surgical time, cost and biological burden.

Your treatment journey at a glance. Step 1 — comprehensive consultation, clinical examination, photographs and CBCT scanning to map your jaw in three dimensions. Step 2 — a personalised treatment plan, discussion of timelines and an open, transparent quote. Step 3 — extractions (if needed) and surgical placement of the implant fixtures, performed under local anaesthesia. A provisional prosthesis is often fitted on the same day. Step 4 — a healing and osseointegration period of three to six months, during which you continue eating with the provisional teeth. Step 5 — fitting of the final fixed prosthesis. Step 6 — ongoing maintenance with regular check-ups to keep the restoration in long-term function.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a good candidate for All-on-X?

All-on-X is well-suited to patients who have lost most or all of their teeth on one or both arches, who have severely compromised remaining teeth, or who have been told they have insufficient bone for traditional implant solutions. Adequate bone density is assessed at consultation using a CBCT scan — in many cases, angled implant placement avoids the need for extensive bone grafts.

How does All-on-X differ from traditional dentures?

All-on-X is a fixed, implant-supported restoration. Unlike removable dentures, it does not require adhesives, does not move when eating or speaking, and stimulates the jawbone in a way that removable dentures cannot. Most patients find it feels significantly more like natural teeth and provides much greater chewing confidence.

What is the recovery like after All-on-X surgery?

Some swelling, bruising and discomfort in the days following implant placement is expected and is typically managed with prescribed and over-the-counter medication. A provisional prosthesis is often fitted at or shortly after surgery so you leave with teeth on the day. Full recovery and osseointegration takes several months, after which the final prosthesis is fitted.

How long does the All-on-X procedure take?

The surgical phase is typically completed in one day per arch. A provisional set of teeth is generally placed the same day or shortly thereafter. The final restoration is completed after a three- to six-month osseointegration period, during which you continue to wear and eat with the provisional teeth.

Is All-on-X better than dentures?

For many patients, yes — but the right choice depends on individual circumstances. All-on-X provides a fixed solution that does not need to be removed for cleaning, restores stronger chewing function, and helps preserve jawbone over time. Dr. Cho will discuss your specific case at consultation so you can make an informed decision.

What's the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-X?

"All-on-4" describes a specific protocol using exactly four implants per arch. "All-on-X" is the broader family — typically four to six implants depending on bone availability, biomechanics and the prosthetic design. Dr. Cho selects the number of implants based on what is best for your case.

Will I need bone grafting for All-on-X?

Not always. One of the strengths of the All-on-X approach is the use of angled posterior implants to make the most of the bone you already have — often avoiding sinus lifts or large grafts. Dr. Cho will review your CBCT scan with you and clearly explain whether any bone preservation procedures are needed.

How do I care for my All-on-X restoration?

Daily care includes thorough brushing around the prosthesis, using interdental brushes or a water flosser to clean under the bridge, and attending regular professional cleans. Dr. Cho will demonstrate cleaning techniques and provide a maintenance schedule tailored to your restoration.

Can I claim All-on-X through my health fund?

Many Australian health funds offer some rebate for the implant and prosthetic components under major dental cover, although rebate amounts vary significantly between funds and policies. We process HICAPS claims on the spot and are CBHS and NIB preferred providers. We recommend contacting your fund in advance with the relevant item numbers so you know exactly what is covered.
