All-on-X Dental Implants in Sydney
All-on-X, also known as Teeth on Dental Implants, replaces a full set of missing or failing teeth with a fixed bridge supported by four to six dental implants. Dr Scott Church, a Sydney dental surgeon, plans each case on a 3D CBCT xray / intraoral scan using a digital surgical workflow and an in-house surgical lab. During the consultation Ai is used for visualisation and explanation of your case. He performs guided surgery with sedation options for comfort. The final teeth are crafted to patient specifications with a partnered lab using Smile Design to calibrate the exact position and alignment of teeth within the face. Suitability, timeline, and cost are confirmed at a clinical consultation.
What is All-on-X treatment?
All-on-X is a full-arch reconstruction: the remaining failing teeth (if any) are removed, four to six implants are placed into the jaw, and a fixed bridge of new teeth is attached to those implants. Unlike a denture, the bridge does not come out, does not rely on adhesive, and is designed to restore confident eating and speaking. Patients describe and search for this treatment in many ways: teeth on dental implants, All-on-4, same-day teeth, full-mouth implants, fixed full-arch teeth and clinically these all refer to full-arch (All-on-X) implant treatment. Many patients receive a fixed provisional bridge on the day of surgery, with the final prosthesis fitted once healing is complete, typically three to six months later. Individual timelines vary and are confirmed by Dr Scott Church after assessment.

Sedation Options
We understand that dental procedures can cause anxiety for some patients, especially when it comes to surgery. That’s why we offer three effective sedation options to ensure your experience is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Oral Sedation
A Low-Cost, Relaxing Option
Oral sedation is a popular choice for patients who feel nervous or need emergency dental work. It involves taking an anti-anxiety pill about an hour before your appointment. This option is affordable and keeps you awake during the procedure, but you will feel drowsy, carefree, and generally “out of it.” Many younger patients prefer this option, especially if it’s their first experience with major dental work. You’ll still be able to respond to questions from your dentist, but the overall experience will be much more relaxed.
IV Sedation
Comfortable, Stress-Free Procedure
IV sedation is ideal for patients who experience higher levels of anxiety, pain, or distress during dental treatments. Administered by our skilled team of anesthetists, this option delivers sedatives directly into your bloodstream, allowing you to feel deeply relaxed throughout the procedure. While you will remain conscious, you may not remember much of the procedure afterward. IV sedation is available in our clinic for an additional cost, though Medicare rebates may be available after your surgery.
General Anesthetic
Complete Sleep for Complex Procedures
For patients who prefer to be completely asleep during their procedure or for those undergoing extensive surgical treatments, general anesthesia is an option. This involves a combination of intravenous medications and inhaled gases that put you in a deep, sleep-like state. General anesthesia is typically performed in a hospital setting, making it a good choice for those with complex health conditions that require a more controlled environment. It’s ideal for extensive surgical treatments and ensures you won’t experience any discomfort during your procedure.
