  1. Plan your treatment

    We assess your mouth, review scans, and explain the surgical and restorative plan.

  2. Surgery and temporary teeth

    Implants are placed and temporary teeth are fitted when the implants are stable enough. These teeth need protection while you heal.

  3. Early reviews

    Your plan usually includes a visit in the first week or two, then a review around six weeks. Imaging is decided by your doctor.

  4. Healing evaluation

    Around three months, we assess the implants and supporting bone. A revision may be recommended if an area needs more treatment.

  5. Final teeth

    When healing and implant support are ready, we make and fit the final teeth. Your actual timing may differ.

About the procedure

Full-arch treatment uses several implants to support a full row of replacement teeth. All-on-X describes this approach; the number and position of implants depend on your case.

At Drill Dental

We plan the whole arch before surgery, including the temporary teeth, your bite, and your follow-up care. Your treatment is adapted to your bone, health, and healing. When appropriate, temporary teeth are fitted at surgery; your doctor will explain whether this is possible for you.
