All-on-X / T24 Teeth Replacement in Doreen
Facing tooth loss can bring up a number of questions. How can I eat and smile again? What can I do to replace my missing teeth? How much will my new smile cost?
Many people turn to dentures to complete their smiles but find them awkward or embarrassing because they move and shift. At Doreen Dental Clinic, we offer another solution.
All-on-X / T24 Treatment Concept
For patients who are missing all of their teeth on the upper arch, lower arch, or both arches, or who are facing full-mouth extractions due to wear, decay or periodontal (gum) disease, we offer a reliable and affordable solution to replace all of the missing teeth.
The all-on-x treatment concept is the foundation of our T24 approach. In some cases, a temporary set of teeth may be placed on the same day as your implant procedure, depending on your individual needs and suitability.
Beyond their fast results, many patients find the T24 solution, based on the all-on-x treatment concept, to be a more stable, long-term option to replace missing teeth. Because T24 is anchored by dental implants, you can avoid denture mishaps common with conventional dentures.
Benefits of Fixed Dentures with All-on-X
Eating healthy, delicious food is part of the enjoyment of life for most people, and sharing meals with family and frien
ds helps to create memories that last a lifetime.
With all-on-x, many patients enjoy the following benefits:
- Improved denture stability — Traditional dentures can sometimes move or shift, but all-on-x/T24 implants are designed to provide greater stability by securely supporting your denture.
- Eat and speak with greater comfort — Implant-supported dentures are designed to help improve function, which may make eating and speaking feel more natural and comfortable for many patients.
- Enjoy a wider variety of foods — For suitable patients, improved chewing function may make it easier to enjoy a broader range of foods and support better nutrition.
- Support for facial structure — All-on-X/T24 implants are designed to support your dentures, which may help maintain natural lip and cheek structure compared to missing teeth.
- Flexible payment options — For patients who qualify, a wide variety of payment options may be available to help make treatment more manageable. Our team can discuss available plans to find an approach that suits your needs.
All-on-X / T24 Works
Your dentist at Doreen Dental Clinic will perform a full exam to determine your eligibility for dental implant treatment.
Once your dentist has a look at your medical history and performs your dental exam with digital x-rays and imaging, they will discuss how you would like your new smile to look. We aim to provide natural-looking results that complement your appearance and make you feel great about your smile.
Dental Implant Surgery
Your dentist will place the dental implants into your jawbone. Dental implants are small screws that mimic the tooth’s root. This is the foundation for your new smile and what gives your implant-retained denture stability.
Your New Smile
Once the dental implant surgery is complete, we will attach your new implant-retained denture and ensure a good fit. Your new smile may take some getting used to, but the more you speak and chew with your new teeth, the more natural it will feel. Your dentist will guide you through the process.
Regular Check-Ups
At Doreen Dental Clinic, we hope to help you achieve a healthy smile for a lifetime. Your dentist will regularly check your healing and make any adjustments necessary to ensure a comfortable and functional fit.
While you will have some dietary restrictions immediately following treatment, most patients look forward to a wider variety of food options in the future after healing is complete. Your dentist will go over the details with you, so you are fully informed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Missing teeth can pose a number of problems in daily life from gaps in the smile and trouble speaking and eating to discomfort.
Missing teeth also pose some issues when it comes to your dentistry and oral health, such as:
- Shifting teeth
- Bite misalignment
- Exposed roots
- Bone loss
For these reasons, we offer several tooth replacement options for people with missing teeth.
Dental Implants: A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth
If you have a single missing tooth, or a few missing teeth, dental implants offer a practical and long-term solution to replace missing teeth in a convenient and life-like manner.
Dental implants can also attach dentures and bridges to replace multiple missing teeth simultaneously.
All-on-X / T24
For those who have lost most or all of their teeth, our All-on-X / T24 treatment is a solution. Using a few strategically placed dental implants, we can secure a full arch of teeth. Say goodbye to shifting and uncomfortable traditional dentures and hello to a stable, reliable smile.
Non-Surgical Dental Bridges
If you need a non-surgical option for missing teeth, dental bridges are an option. Anchored to two healthy, adjacent teeth, dental bridges can fill the gap in your smile.

If you want solutions to missing teeth, we welcome your call at Doreen Dental Clinic. Our skilled dentists will present all of your treatment options, so you can make a choice that makes sense for you.
The main difference between all-on-4/all-on-x and traditional dental implants lies in the number of dental implants used and how they support replacement teeth.
Traditional Dental Implants
Traditional dental implants typically involve placing a separate implant for each missing tooth or several implants to support a dental bridge or denture. This approach often requires a greater number of dental implants and, in some cases, bone grafting to ensure enough jawbone support. While incredibly stable and long-lasting, traditional implants may involve a longer treatment and healing time.
All-on-4/All-on-X
On the other hand, All-on-4 dental implants use just four specifically placed implant posts to support a full arch of teeth, either on the upper or lower jaw. Thanks to the angled placement of the dental implants, All-on-4 often avoids the need for bone grafting and offers faster recovery.
