This procedure has many names: All-on-4, All-on-X, All-on-6, 3-on-6, FP1, FP3, teeth in a day. All of these phrases are talking about the same procedure — a same-day, immediately loaded, full-arch set of teeth fixed on implants. In one day we can remove your teeth, place four to six or more implants, and secure an immediate set of teeth, all in the same day.
Book NowA full-arch implant technique restoring an entire arch using four to six or more strategically placed implants, with a fixed prosthetic bridge attached — a stable, non-removable set of teeth instead of traditional dentures. A major advance in implant dentistry for over 20 years, and the same procedure people mean when they say 3-on-6, FP1, FP3, or teeth in a day.
Book NowEvery full-arch case is planned around your own anatomy from a 3D CBCT scan — how many implants, where they go, and how the bridge is designed. That planning is what the different names all describe, and it happens under one roof here.
4–6 Implants Per Arch: The "X" is flexible based on anatomy — customized to each patient's bone structure.
Angled Rear Implants: Maximize bone contact, enabling full arch restoration even with reduced bone volume.
Same-Day Temporary Bridge: Patients leave with functional teeth the day of surgery in most protocols.
Permanent Bridge: Placed after osseointegration — typically 3–6 months after implant surgery.
Only the number of implants. All-on-4 uses four; All-on-6 uses six. You may also hear All-on-X, 3-on-6, FP1, FP3, or teeth in a day — these are all names for the same full-arch, same-day implant procedure. The right number of implants for you is determined by your CBCT scan and bone anatomy.
Often yes — angled implant strategy avoids grafts in many cases. More significant bone loss can be addressed with grafting, sinus lift, ridge augmentation, or PRF/CGF.
Implants are permanent (osseointegrated titanium posts). The prosthetic bridge typically lasts 10–20 years before wear may require replacement.
Surgical portion typically 2–4 hours per arch under IV sedation or general anesthesia; temporary bridge same day; permanent bridge after osseointegration (3–6 months).
