The procedure commonly referred to as “Teeth in a Day” or All-On-X presents patients with the chance to undergo a comprehensive dental transformation in a single day. It involves the removal of remaining teeth, placement of implants, and the attainment of a fully functional smile. This not only improves the aesthetic appeal of patients’ smiles but also revitalizes their overall perspective on life. Numerous individuals grapple with serious dental problems such as severe tooth decay, deteriorating dental work, and fractured teeth. For such individuals, the All-On-X procedure stands out as the optimal solution, providing them with the means to attain a completely new smile and address longstanding dental issues.
This procedure encompasses the extraction of any remaining teeth, the placement of 4-6 implants per arch, and the attachment of a low-profile bridge to these implants. Typically, the implants are strategically positioned at specific angles to avoid the patient’s sinuses, thereby eliminating the necessity for costly bone grafts and protracted healing periods.
Our doctor has elevated the conventional All-On-X procedure by tailoring it to their expertise and insights, leading to an even more favorable patient outcome. At Indiana Dentures and Implants, we meticulously assess each case and customize our treatment according to the individual patient’s anatomy. Your doctor will embed between four and six implants per arch, and during the integration of implants with your jawbones and the healing of your mouth, temporary fixed bridges will be installed. Once the healing process concludes, the doctor and lab technician will craft your final teeth using zirconia. This material, notably more robust than the typical acrylic denture teeth offered elsewhere, imparts a more natural, lifelike appearance, is more hygienic, and resists staining. Consequently, these teeth boast a longer lifespan and superior aesthetics compared to the acrylic/titanium hybrid bridges commonly found in other dental practices.
Most patients, even those previously advised of insufficient bone for dental implants, are eligible for this procedure. To navigate around the sinuses and leverage the sturdiest bone, your doctor will utilize a mix of straight and angled implants. This approach generally obviates the need for expensive and time-consuming sinus augmentation bone grafts. In your complimentary consultation, your doctor will conduct a thorough evaluation to ascertain whether the All-On-X procedure, also recognized as “Teeth in a Day,” is a fitting option for you.
The cost includes the extraction of all teeth, an unlimited number of implants, temporary fixed teeth, and permanent fixed teeth.
The procedure typically lasts between 4-6 hours, depending on whether you’re undergoing treatment for a single arch (upper or lower) or both arches (full mouth). Upon leaving our office, your new implants will be securely fitted with temporary bridge(s). You will wear these temporary bridge(s) for as little as 6 weeks to allow ample time for your implants to integrate with your bone and for your jaws and gums to heal, achieving a stable, long-term position. This healing period ensures the closest possible fit for your final bridge(s). Following this phase, we will commence the fabrication of your final bridge(s), involving several appointments over a 5-6 week span. Throughout this time, you’ll actively participate in designing the smile you envision for your permanent teeth.

Absolutely. This implant technique ensures a permanent, fully functional smile that mirrors the look and feel of natural teeth. In fact, unless disclosed, it remains a well-kept secret that you have implants.
When it comes to dental prosthetics, our All-on-X solution outshines traditional dentures in terms of authenticity. Meticulously crafted with premium zirconia, our prosthetics showcase an outstanding translucency that mirrors the depth and lifelike appearance found in natural teeth. What distinguishes our prosthetics is the meticulous attention to detail in hand-painting the “gums,” recreating the subtle color variations and nuances observed in real gums.
Whether you are contemplating a single implant or choosing the All-on-X procedure, the duration of the healing period remains consistent, usually spanning from 4 to 6 months. Within this crucial timeframe, a remarkable process known as osseointegration occurs, where the implant and your bone meld together, seamlessly incorporating the implant as an integral part of your body. This smooth integration is facilitated by the use of biocompatible titanium, ensuring a harmonious relationship between the implant and your natural physiology.
All-on-4 implants offer a lasting resolution for damaged or missing teeth. Firmly anchored in your jawbone, they provide a permanent solution, mimicking the function, appearance, and sensation of real teeth.
