Your All-on-X / Immediate Full-Arch Implants Journey

A complete guide to same-day full-arch implant treatment

(All-on-X | All-on-4 | Same-day teeth | Full-arch dental implants | Immediate full-arch loading | Teeth in a day)

Immediate full-arch implant treatment (often known as All-on-X or Teeth in a Day) is a life-changing solution for patients with failing teeth, loose dentures, or complete tooth loss. Using advanced digital planning and precise implant placement, we can restore a full set of fixed teeth—often on the same day as surgery.

Below is a detailed, clear overview of every stage of the process.

1. Referral or Initial Enquiry

(Full arch implants UK | All-on-4 consultation | Replace all missing teeth)

You may be referred by your dentist or contact us independently. At this stage, we gather essential background information regarding your dental history, medical history, and goals.

We may request:

  • Recent X-rays
  • Denture photographs (if you currently wear dentures)
  • Any previous implant or periodontal history


➡️ Send your referral or message our team directly

2. Full-Arch Implant Consultation

(All-on-X assessment | Same-day teeth consultation)

This is an in-depth appointment focused on understanding your situation and exploring whether All-on-X full-arch treatment is appropriate.

During this visit, we:

  • Discuss your concerns, expectations, and desired outcomes
  • Assess gum health, bone support, soft tissue levels, and bite
  • Review any existing radiographs or clinical notes
  • Explain all full-arch implant options, including alternatives
  • Provide an outline of timelines, costs, and long-term maintenance


✔️ Book your full-arch consultation

3. Full Diagnostic Assessment

(Implant suitability | Failing dentition | Pre-surgical evaluation)

If full-arch implants are suitable, we proceed with a structured assessment to ensure long-term stability and predictable results.

This includes:

  • Periodontal evaluation
  • Mobility and prognosis of remaining teeth
  • Bite analysis and occlusal scheme evaluation
  • Jaw relationship and smile line assessment
  • Intraoral photographs
  • Recording of aesthetic requirements (lip support, midline, tooth show, etc.)

This stage is crucial for designing a prosthesis that is both functional and natural-looking.

4. Advanced Digital Imaging & Scanning

(CBCT for full-arch implants | Digital workflow | Guided surgery)

Full-arch implant treatment relies heavily on precision. We use the latest digital technologies for predictable results.

CBCT Scan (3D Cone Beam CT)

A full-arch CBCT scan provides essential information such as:

  • Bone height and width across the arch
  • Bone density
  • Sinus and nerve locations
  • Areas suitable for implant anchorage
  • Suitability for immediate loading

Intraoral Digital Scans

(Digital impressions | Full-arch scans)
We take a detailed 3D scan of your mouth to create accurate digital models.

Photographic and Facial Scans (if required)

Used to design teeth that match your facial features, smile, and functional requirements.

Digital Treatment Planning Software

All implants are virtually placed in software before surgery, ensuring:

  • Precise angulation
  • Ideal implant spread
  • Immediate load capability
  • Planning of your provisional full-arch prosthesis

5. Personalised Full-Arch Treatment Plan

(All-on-X treatment plan | Full arch cost | Same-day teeth options)

Once diagnostics are complete, we design your bespoke full-arch plan.

Your plan covers:

  • Number and position of implants (4, 5, 6 or more depending on bone support)
  • Whether extractions are required
  • Whether any bone reduction or grafting is needed
  • Guided vs freehand implant surgery
  • Same-day provisional teeth (immediate loading)
  • Material options for the final prosthesis (PMMA, zirconia, titanium frame etc.)
  • Timelines, reviews, and aftercare
  • Clear, transparent costs

We review all options with you in detail and ensure you have complete clarity and confidence before proceeding.

6. All-on-X Surgery Day (Immediate Full-Arch Loading)

(Teeth in a day | Same-day implants | Full-arch implant surgery UK)

Your surgery is carried out in a sterile, dedicated implant theatre using advanced digital protocols.

On the day:

  • We review your plan and provide preoperative instructions
  • Local anaesthetic (or sedation if chosen) ensures complete comfort
  • Remaining teeth are gently removed (if applicable)
  • Implants are placed with precise torque values to allow immediate loading
  • Multi-unit abutments (MUA) are connected to allow the prosthesis to fit perfectly
  • A provisional full-arch bridge is fitted the same day

This means you leave the clinic with a fixed set of teeth, not a denture.

7. Healing Period & Follow-Up Appointments

(Full-arch healing | Osseointegration | Post-surgical care)

Over the next 8–12 weeks:

  • Your implants integrate with your bone
  • The provisional teeth protect the implants during healing
  • We monitor you with review appointments
  • Any adjustments are made to ensure comfort and function

You can eat, smile, and speak normally—but we advise a softer diet during early healing.

8. Design & Fit of Your Final Full-Arch Prosthesis

(Final bridge | Zirconia full arch | Titanium bar restoration)

Once healing is complete, we start creating your final, long-term prosthesis.

This process includes:

  • A new set of high-precision intraoral scans
  • Recording your bite, smile line, lip support, and phonetics
  • Selecting the final material (e.g., zirconia, composite, hybrid)
  • Aesthetic design of tooth shape and colour
  • Try-in appointments (if needed)
  • Final prosthesis fitting and bite refinement

Your final teeth are designed to be:

  • Natural-looking
  • Durable
  • Comfortable
  • Easy to clean
  • Long-lasting

9. Maintenance & Long-Term Care

(Full-arch implant hygiene | Implant maintenance | Long-term success)

Full-arch implants require routine care to ensure longevity.

We advise:

  • Tailored hygiene instructions
  • Implant cleaning techniques
  • Maintenance visits every 3–6 months
  • Access to our dental hygiene team
  • Advice on protecting the prosthesis (e.g., night guards for grinding)

With correct maintenance, full-arch implants can last many years—often decades.
