All-on-4 / All-on-X
A fixed smile, rebuilt from a complete digital plan.
For patients facing the loss of most or all teeth, full-arch implant treatment can replace an entire row of teeth with a bridge supported by strategically positioned implants.

Understanding the treatment
All-on-4 describes a concept. All-on-X describes the plan you actually need.
All-on-4 uses four implants to support a complete fixed bridge. The back implants may be angled to use available bone and reduce the need for grafting in selected cases.
All-on-X is the broader term: “X” means the number is not predetermined. Some arches are best restored on four implants; others benefit from five or six. The decision depends on your bone, anatomy, bite, medical factors and the design of the final bridge.
At Artizen, the bridge is planned first. Implant positions are selected to support the intended teeth, cleansability and long-term function—not simply placed wherever bone appears available.
The system is selected according to the clinical plan rather than a one-brand-fits-all approach.
How a full arch works
Strategic implant support for a complete fixed bridge.
This short visual explains how four to six implants can support a full row of teeth. The exact number and position are individualised after your assessment.
The Artizen workflow
Teeth first. Implants second. Every step connected.
Full-arch treatment is not simply an implant operation. It combines diagnosis, surgery, prosthodontics, bite design, laboratory communication and long-term maintenance.
- 01
Understand the problem
We begin with your concerns, dental and medical history, smile, speech and how your current teeth or denture affect daily life.
- 02
Collect complete records
Clinical photographs, an intraoral scan and a 3D CBCT scan help us assess bone, anatomy, bite and restorative space.
- 03
Plan teeth before implants
The future tooth position, facial support and bite are designed first. Implant number and position are then planned to support that restoration.
- 04
Surgery
A digitally designed surgical workflow helps us reproduce the plan. Depending on the case, this may include positioning, fixation, drilling and prosthetic guides.
- 05
Fixed provisional bridge
When implant stability and clinical conditions are suitable, a fixed provisional bridge may be fitted on the day of surgery or shortly afterwards.
- 06
Heal, refine and maintain
After healing, the definitive bridge is made and carefully checked. Long-term reviews, hygiene and maintenance remain essential.
Immediate fixed teeth
Can I receive teeth on the same day?
Most of the time, yes. The patient will be given a fixed temporary prosthesis when the implants achieve adequate stability and the bite can be controlled safely.
If those conditions are not met, protecting healing is more important than forcing immediate loading. We will explain the provisional phase, food restrictions and timing before treatment.
“Same-day teeth” refers to a provisional bridge. The definitive bridge is normally made after healing and refinement.
Documented patient cases
Different starting points. Individually planned full-arch solutions.
These clinical and radiographic records show selected Artizen patients. They are presented for education; results and treatment needs vary between individuals.
Case 02
Replacing a failing dentition
A fixed full-arch solution planned around the patient’s smile, available bone and functional requirements.
Case 03 · Upper & lower All-on-4
Rebuilding a failing dentition after previous dental work
The patient presented with previous dental work that had become difficult to clean, together with inflamed tissues and mobility of the remaining teeth. Following clinical and radiographic assessment, upper and lower All-on-4 treatment was planned to replace the failing dentition and rebuild both arches with fixed full-arch restorations.
Case 04 · Upper & lower All-on-4
From loose dentures to fixed upper and lower restorations
The patient presented with loose dentures and requested a fixed solution for both arches. Upper and lower All-on-4 treatment was planned to restore stability, function and confidence with fixed full-arch restorations.
Case 05
From severe tooth loss to a fixed full-arch restoration
Clinical and facial records were assessed together with the post-treatment radiograph.
Case 06 · Upper All-on-4
Restoring the upper arch with a fixed full-arch solution
The patient requested a fixed restoration for the upper arch. An upper All-on-4 restoration was provided to rebuild the smile and function. Treatment of the lower arch has not yet proceeded and is planned for a later stage.
Case 07 · Complete sequence
Full-arch rehabilitation from planning to final result
The clinical sequence and radiographic records document the treatment from the initial condition through implant placement and the completed fixed restoration.
Case 08 · Upper All-on-4
Replacing a failing upper dentition with fixed teeth
A failing upper dentition was replaced with a fixed 12-tooth restoration supported by four dental implants, restoring the patient’s smile and upper-arch function.
Who may benefit?
A full-arch solution for a full-arch problem.
Often considered when
- Most teeth are missing or cannot be predictably restored
- A loose denture is limiting comfort and confidence
- There is advanced decay, gum disease or severe tooth wear
- You want to explore a fixed alternative to a removable denture
We also assess
- Bone volume and important anatomical structures
- General health, medication and healing risk
- Smoking, hygiene and ability to attend maintenance
- Bite forces, restorative space and realistic expectations
The bridge
Provisional first. Definitive after healing.
The provisional bridge lets us evaluate comfort, speech, appearance, hygiene access and the bite during healing. Your definitive restoration is then selected and designed around the clinical situation.
Options may include reinforced acrylic or PMMA, a titanium-supported bridge, or a full-ceramic solution. Each has different biological, technical, aesthetic and financial considerations, which we will discuss with you.
