Blog : The Evolution of All on X and Teeth in a Day

All on 4 dental implant procedure was first described by Dr. Malo in 1998 and subsequently began gaining traction in the early 2000s. This procedure was accomplished often in multiple steps back then and used analog lab conversion to make the teeth. Fast forward to today 2025, with an explosion of innovation in digital technology and implant technologies, the all on X procedure has made huge leaps forward. This allows our patients to experience a more streamlined process, with improved patient comfort, predictability, and improved outcomes. We utilize the latest digital scanners to obtain before pictures of the mouth without the old impression materials. Utilization of a 3D facial scanner and 3D CBCT scans, we can preoperative simulate your surgery and the smile transformation that you will undergo on the computer before your surgery. 3D printers are another amazing technology that we utilize to provide the highest level of patient care. We print surgical guides for surgery day and temporary teeth in order to help achieve an optimal outcome. Once our implants are placed, we utilize photogrammetry (the latest in technology to provide the highest level of accuracy in capturing implant position) and take our intraoral scan in order to then fabricate your teeth. These teeth are then screwed into your dental implants so you leave the office with your new fixed smile!
