All-On-X is a dental treatment that uses a fixed, full-arch dental prosthesis supported by a small number of dental implants (usually four to six). This revolutionary approach provides a permanent and natural-looking solution for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth in one or both arches. All-On-X combines the advantages of dental implants with the convenience of a full-arch restoration for a truly transformative outcome.
There are many factors that determine whether you’re a suitable candidate for All-On-X dental implants. At your consultation, we will use state-of-the-art technology to create 3D digital impressions of your current teeth, take 3D CBCT x-rays to determine the extent of any bone loss you might have experienced, and identify any other issues that might be hidden below your gum line.
We also discuss in detail your specific concerns, the symptoms you’re experiencing, and the outcomes you’d like to achieve. All of this detailed consultation and assessment helps us to empower you throughout the treatment planning process and share all the options with you.
At Today's Dentistry, you’ll never be pressured to choose a certain treatment. We always provide all your options and communicate with transparency around what’s involved. Our caring and professional team will work closely with you to ensure a comfortable and successful treatment experience. Don't let missing teeth hold you back – contact us today to schedule a consultation!
All-On-4 and All-On-X are both used to describe the same type of treatment where a full-arch of teeth is restored by attaching a titanium plated denture to 4 or more dental implants to fully restore your smile. All-On-4 is a trademarked term for a specific type of dental implants sold by Nobel Biocare.
All-On-X dental implants are a specific type of full mouth restoration where a titanium plated denture is secured to 4 or more dental implants to restore your smile. It is as close to natural teeth as you can have, as they cannot be removed at home and aren’t taken out every night before sleep.
Typically, the initial healing phase, where the implants fuse with the jawbone, can take several months. However, temporary teeth are usually fitted during this period, so you won't be without teeth. Full recovery and completion of the procedure, including fitting the final prosthetic, can take anywhere from 6 to 8 months, but this can vary depending on individual healing rates and the specifics of the procedure.
Patients sometimes consider travelling overseas for expensive dental treatment. However it’s important to weigh up all the risks and costs associated. The low prices advertised overseas are rarely all inclusive and patients may find they’ve spent nearly the same amount when all expenses are taken into account.
Aside from cost, it is important to remember that this is a major surgical procedure and it’s one you want done properly. There have been patients who experience urgent complications after overseas treatment and they’re unable to get the needed help in Australia because the materials used in their treatment are not TGA approved and can be very difficult to be fixed or repaired in Australia.
It can become a very expensive and distressing process if you experience complications during overseas dental treatment.
Possibly, but it depends on the extent of the bone loss and the individual patient's condition. Severe bone loss can make it more challenging to secure the implants properly. However, certain techniques such as bone grafting may be used to build up the bone and make implant placement possible. At Today’s Dentistry, we collaborate closely with a visiting specialist Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon who can place Zygomatic implants in the case of severe bone loss.

I always loved going to my own dental visits, and one day I honestly just though ‘why don’t I give dental assisting a go’. I applied for a job and got a call back straight away, and have been in the industry ever since!
I studied my Cert 3 in Dental Assisting online alongside working full time in my first dental job. I chose to do it online so I had more time to work as I am more of a hands on learner.
I LOVE smile makeovers. I love seeing the joy, and happiness it brings patients and the amount of confidence they gain by having their dream smile.
I love feeling like I am making some sort of impact on people’s lives. Whether it is helping them with their smile makeover, holding their hand during a procedure or just being an ear to talk to and a shoulder to cry on.
The team, they are all so wonderful and both Darryl and David are so great to work for. But also what our core value is – which is patient care. I think we are a really great team at making sure our patients come first and their experience with us is a positive one each and every time.
Brisbane born and bred, Sarah’s passion for dentistry began during her orthodontic treatment in her teens. After graduating from highschool, Sarah began working as a dental nurse and decided her true calling was as a dental hygienist. She graduated from the University of Queensland in 2006 and has worked in both the private and public sector since then.
Sarah’s focus is on prevention and education. Her goal is to empower her patients so that they can achieve and maintain the best possible oral health for life.
In her free time Sarah can be found spending time with her two sons, hiking, attending a pilates class or exploring Brisbane and the surrounds looking for new restaurants to eat at or adventures to have.
I have been a proud part of the Today's Dentistry team for 20 years now.
My journey to get here though was anything but straight forward and I can probably thank my own childhood family dental visits in Newcastle NSW for my interest in this area of care. It too was a very special practice that took the time with their patients young and old and truly cared about them.
Having my own great experiences as a patient I was thrilled for them to accept me for my Year 10 work experience as a dental assistant and fell comfortably into the role. Due to life as it was back then and lack of public transport my career took me in a whole different direction and I had many years at the Aluminium Smelter in Kurri Kurri.
Once my children were at school I applied for a position as a receptionist at the local Dental Practice only to be told it was actually for an assistant and was I still interested? Silly question! Hands on training the old school way which put me in great position for further learning when our family moved to WA for a couple of years and then finally finding my way to QLD and Darrly and David.
Dentistry to me is a package of many very important parts, the precision and artistry of the actual treatment, the person behind the treatment and understanding of not only their dental needs but emotional drivers and the communication and care to put this all together. Although I now find myself not chairside but doing the behind the scenes administration I still get to talk with our patients and be confident that they are in good hands with my wonderful team.
