Materials &
Technology
We want you to feel confident about every aspect of your treatment, including the materials we use. All on X treatment at ArtSmiles is delivered in two carefully managed phases: Surgical and Prosthetic. Regardless of which final bridge material you choose, the surgical phase follows the same high standard, using high-quality titanium implant systems, 3D CBCT imaging, digital surgical planning software, and guided implant placement where indicated. After healing and integration, we help you choose the final bridge material based on your functional needs, aesthetic goals, and budget. Monolithic Zirconia (Premium Option) is a high-strength ceramic offering excellent durability, long-term colour stability, and a beautiful premium finish, designed for heavy bite forces. PMMA (Budget-Conscious Option) is a high-quality reinforced acrylic with a more accessible investment point, a lighter feel, and is suitable for selected cases, though it may require earlier maintenance or replacement compared to zirconia.
While both options restore function and fixed stability, zirconia is typically recommended for patients seeking maximum longevity and structural durability.
| ✦Monolithic Zirconia Bridge | PMMA (Reinforced Acrylic) Bridge | |
|---|---|---|
| Material Type | High-strength ceramic | Reinforced acrylic resin |
| Flexural Strength (Approx.) | 900–1200 MPa | 80–150 MPa |
| Durability | Very high | Moderate |
| Fracture Resistance | Excellent | Good (lower than zirconia) |
| Longevity Expectation | 10–15+ years (with maintenance) | 3–7 years (may require earlier replacement) |
| Wear Resistance | Very high | Moderate |
| Stain Resistance | Excellent | Moderate (may require polishing over time) |
| Aesthetic Stability | Lasting colour stability | Good initial aesthetics |
| Weight | Heavier, solid feel | Lighter |
| Maintenance Needs | Routine professional monitoring | May require more frequent maintenance |
| Ideal For | Patients seeking maximum longevity and strength | Patients seeking a more accessible fixed solution |
| Relative Investment | Premium | More budget-friendly |

Cost Guide
We know that understanding costs is an important part of your decision, and we want to be as transparent as possible. The cost of All on 4 (all on 4) or All on X dental implants on the Gold Coast depends on bone availability, implant distribution, material selection (zirconia or PMMA), surgical complexity, and whether additional grafting is required. Because every smile is unique, a full 3D assessment is required before final pricing is confirmed. This treatment is best suited for patients who are ready for a permanent, life-changing solution.

- —Bone grafting needs
- —Complexity of case

Risks and
Clinical Considerations
Potential Risks Include
Implant Failure
One or more implants may fail to integrate due to compromised healing, infection, or excessive loading during the provisional phase. Failed implants may require replacement or protocol modification.
Bridge Fracture
Provisional or final prostheses can fracture under heavy bite forces, particularly in patients who grind or clench. A night splint is strongly recommended to protect the restoration long term.
Screw Loosening
Prosthetic screws connecting the bridge to implants may loosen over time, especially if occlusal forces are not evenly distributed. Regular torque checks at maintenance appointments help prevent this.
Peri-Implant Inflammation
Bacterial accumulation around implant fixtures can cause soft tissue inflammation and, if unmanaged, progressive bone loss. Structured hygiene protocols and professional maintenance are essential.
Bone Remodelling
Some marginal bone change is expected after implant loading. Excessive bone loss may compromise implant stability and require clinical intervention or prosthetic redesign.
Component Replacement
Prosthetic teeth, screws, and framework components are subject to wear over time. Periodic replacement of worn elements is a normal part of long-term full-arch maintenance.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Is All on X the same as All on 4?
All on 4 is a specific variation using four implants. Whether you search for all on 4 dental implants or All on X, they describe the same category of full-arch treatment. All on X refers more broadly to 4–6 implants depending on bone availability and load distribution requirements. The exact number is customised to each patient. For details on all on 4 cost, see our pricing section above.
Can I get teeth the same day?
In many cases, a temporary fixed bridge is attached within 24 hours of surgery. This allows patients to leave with fixed teeth while the implants integrate with the bone over several months.
How long does All on X last?
Implants can remain stable for decades when properly maintained. The prosthetic bridge may require maintenance, repair, or replacement over time depending on material selection and functional load.
Do I need bone grafting for All on X?
Not always. One advantage of All on X is that angled implant placement often reduces the need for grafting. However, in cases of severe bone loss, bone grafting or sinus augmentation may still be required.
What materials are used for the final bridge?
Final bridges are typically fabricated from monolithic zirconia (high-strength ceramic) or reinforced PMMA acrylic. Zirconia offers superior lasting durability and fracture resistance.
Is All on X painful?
Implant placement is performed under local anaesthesia. Most patients report mild to moderate discomfort during healing, typically manageable with standard pain medication. Swelling and tenderness are normal in the first few days.
How long does All on X treatment take?
The surgical phase is typically completed in one day. Healing and bone integration (osseointegration) usually take 3–6 months before the final bridge is placed. Total treatment time varies depending on complexity and grafting needs.
What is the success rate of All on X implants?
Full-arch implant treatment has a high success rate, often above 90–95% in healthy patients. Success depends on bone quality, gum health, smoking status, bite forces, and compliance with maintenance.
Can smokers get All on X implants?
Yes, but smoking increases the risk of implant complications and delayed healing. While treatment may still be possible, smoking cessation significantly improves lasting outcomes.
What happens if an implant fails?
If an implant fails to integrate, it can often be removed and a new implant placed after healing. Early detection and systematic follow-up significantly improve management outcomes. Our warranty policy covers implant failure for non-smokers.
