Committing to a full‑arch restoration is a big decision, and knowing the roadmap makes it far less daunting. Here is how an All‑on‑X treatment typically unfolds from start to finish.
Planning and Imaging
Everything begins with a thorough assessment and a three‑dimensional scan of your jaw. This lets us measure bone, locate nerves and sinuses, and design exactly where each implant will go before you ever sit down for surgery.
During this phase we also plan the look of your new teeth, from shape to shade. Careful planning here is what makes the surgical day itself smooth and predictable.
Surgery and Temporary Teeth
On the treatment day, any remaining failing teeth are removed and the implants are placed according to the plan. In many cases we can attach a fixed set of temporary teeth the same day, so you do not leave without a smile.
These temporaries let you function and look complete while the implants fuse with the bone over the following months. We ask you to favour softer foods during this healing window to protect the integrating implants.
The Final Bridge
Once the implants have fully integrated, we replace the temporary teeth with your permanent bridge, crafted for durability and a natural appearance. This is the set built to serve you for the long‑term.
At Cambie Dental we take the time to fine‑tune the fit and bite so the finished arch feels like your own teeth. A follow‑up schedule then keeps everything monitored well beyond the day your new smile is complete.
