📍 Canning Vale
What Is All-on-X?
All-on-X is a full arch dental implant solution that uses a small number of strategically positioned implants, typically four to six, to support a complete set of fixed replacement teeth for an entire upper or lower jaw.
Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums and can slip or require adhesives, an All-on-X restoration is anchored directly to the jawbone. The result is a fixed implant-supported restoration designed to replace missing teeth and assist with oral function.
At Dentists @ Canning Vale, Dr. Desmond Ng provides personalised All-on-X treatment plans using 3D imaging where clinically indicated to assist with implant planning for patients with significant tooth loss.

Temporary Teeth (Same Day)
For suitable patients, a temporary fixed restoration may be attached to the implants on the same day as surgery. while the implants integrate with the bone over the coming months.
Final Restoration
Once appropriate healing and implant stability have been confirmed., your final custom-made arch. is fabricated and fitted, checked for fit, function, and aesthetics before being secured to the implants, with ongoing professional maintenance required.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does All-on-X treatment take from start to finish?
The total treatment timeline varies depending on your oral health and healing. In many cases, temporary fixed teeth are placed the same day as your implants. The final restoration is generally fitted after appropriate healing and implant stability have been confirmed. Healing time varies between individuals and may take several months. Dr. Desmond Ng will outline your expected timeline during the consultation.
Is All-on-X painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, with sedation options may be discussed where clinically appropriate. Our team will provide detailed aftercare guidance and prescribe appropriate pain relief where needed.
How will my All-on-X teeth look?
The restoration is custom-designed with consideration of factors including tooth shape, colour, facial features and overall appearance.
What if I don’t have enough jawbone for implants?
Insufficient bone is common in patients who have experienced long-term tooth loss. Bone grafting may be considered where additional bone volume is required for the proposed implant treatment. The position and angulation of implants may be planned to utilise available bone where clinically appropriate. Whether bone grafting is required depends on individual anatomy and treatment requirements. Dr. Desmond Ng will assess your bone levels with 3D imaging and discuss treatment options that may be appropriate for your circumstances.
