All-on-X replaces a full arch of missing or failing teeth with a fixed restoration supported by several dental implants. For suitable patients, temporary teeth may be attached soon after surgery. The phrase "teeth in 24 hours" refers to this early restoration, not completed healing or final teeth. Your examination and treatment plan determine what is possible.
Before Surgery
Planning begins with an examination, a review of your health history, and imaging such as a 3D dental scan (CBCT). These help us assess your bone and plan implant placement. Before treatment, review the proposed restoration, expected stages, alternatives, and written estimate of included services and possible additional costs.
Surgery day
Surgery may include removing failing teeth and placing implants, depending on your plan. IV conscious sedation may be appropriate after a health review; local anesthetic is used to numb the treatment area. Before you leave, the team explains recovery, any escort requirements, and when your temporary teeth can be attached.
When Temporary Teeth Can Be Attached
Next-day temporary teeth may be possible for suitable patients with adequate implant stability. Timing must be confirmed in the individual treatment plan. Others need more healing before a fixed temporary restoration can be fitted. We explain the recommended schedule and interim options for your situation.
Healing and Your Final Teeth
Implants need time to integrate with the bone, often over several months. Follow the prescribed healing diet and avoid placing too much force on temporary teeth. Your team checks healing before planning the final restoration. Eating comfort, timing, and long-term results vary; daily cleaning, follow-up visits, and maintenance remain important after the final teeth are fitted.
