What Are Full Mouth Dental Implants in Adelaide?
Full mouth dental implants, often called All on 4 or All on X, replace a whole jaw of teeth (upper, lower, or both) using four or more implants rather than one implant per tooth.
The “X” simply means the exact number of implants is tailored to your individual case. These implants support a full arch of teeth that:
- Can be fixed in place (screwed onto the implants), or
- Can be removable (clipped onto precision attachments or a bar) for easier hygiene and maintenance.
All planning, surgery and follow-up care are carried out in our custom-built implant centre in Adelaide, using 3D imaging and advanced surgical protocols for accuracy and comfort.

All on X Dental Implants FAQs
What is the difference between the temporary bridge and the final bridge, and how long do I wear the temporary?
On the day of surgery, most patients receive a provisional (temporary) bridge attached to the implants. This is a functional tooth replacement but is made from a lighter material and is designed to protect the implants while they fuse with the bone, a process called osseointegration. The temporary bridge is typically worn for 3–6 months. Once healing is confirmed, it is replaced with the final high-strength bridge, which is built on a precision-milled titanium frame for long-term durability and a more refined aesthetic finish.
Can I eat normally straight away, and are there foods I need to avoid?
With the temporary bridge in place, you can eat most foods, but you will be asked to avoid very hard, crunchy, or chewy foods during the healing period. This protects the implants while they are integrating with the bone. Once the final bridge is fitted, the vast majority of patients can eat a normal, unrestricted diet, including foods that were difficult or impossible with loose dentures. The chewing strength and comfort patients experience is one of the most commonly cited improvements after All-on-X treatment.
What if I've been told I don't have enough bone for implants?
This is one of the most common concerns patients bring to us, and one of the key advantages of the All-on-X approach is that it’s specifically designed to work with reduced bone. By angling the rear implants and positioning them strategically, the technique can often avoid areas of bone loss entirely, eliminating or reducing the need for extensive bone grafting. Your 3D scans will tell us exactly what’s available. Even patients who have been told elsewhere that they are not suitable for implants are sometimes found to be good candidates after a thorough specialist assessment.
Fixed or removable, which is better, and how do I choose?
Both options are implant-supported and significantly more stable than conventional dentures, but they suit different needs. A fixed bridge is screwed onto the implants and only removed by the dentist — it feels closest to natural teeth and requires no nightly removal. A removable implant overdenture clips onto precision attachments or a bar, offering easier access for cleaning and is generally a lower-cost option. The right choice depends on your bone structure, hygiene preference, budget, and how many implants are placed. Dr Lidums will walk through both options clearly at your consultation.
What happens to the final bridge if something goes wrong, can it be repaired?
Yes. The final bridge is made to be removable by the dentist if needed, so individual components can be repaired or replaced without replacing the entire implant system. The titanium framework underneath is highly durable and rarely the source of problems; issues that do arise usually involve the aesthetic facing material, which can be repaired or refinished. Having an in-house lab at Lidums Dental means many adjustments and repairs can be handled faster than at practices that outsource their laboratory work.
How long does the entire All-on-X process take from consultation to final teeth?
From your first consultation to receiving your final bridge, the process typically takes 3–6 months for straightforward cases. The main variable is healing time, the implants need to fuse with the bone before the final bridge is made. During this period you are wearing the provisional bridge, which is fully functional. For patients requiring extraction of remaining teeth, bone procedures, or treatment under general anaesthesia, additional planning time may be needed before surgery. At your consultation you will receive a clear timeline specific to your situation.
Missing, malformed or damaged teeth can be a source of frustration for many people. Not only can gaps in your smile affect the way you look and feel, but they can also impact your overall oral health.
