All-on-X
A fixed arch. Not a denture that bargains with the bone.
What it is
All-on-X is a grammar, not a brand. The number of implants follows the bone, the bite, and the lip. Dr. Tetri plans the arch so the lower face returns to length — what patients often describe, later, as looking rested. Temporary teeth can be fixed the day of surgery. The final zirconia is milled downstairs.
For
01
A denture that will not stay, or a mouth that is past saving tooth by tooth.
02
Advanced periodontal loss with a collapsed lower third of the face.
03
A patient who can travel for a concentrated surgical day.
01 — The face first
Vertical dimension, midline, and the smile line are set before a fixture is chosen.
02 — Surgery
Failing teeth are removed. Implants are placed. Where the bone is thin, it is built.
03 — Teeth that afternoon
A fixed provisional. Then, after the tissue settles, a milled ceramic arch.
