FAQ
How long does all on x recovery take?
A straight answer first, then the context behind it, from the technicians who do the work.
THE SHORT ANSWER
Initial healing after All-on-X surgery takes 3-6 months for osseointegration, though most patients function comfortably on the provisional prosthetic within 24-72 hours. Full tissue maturation and final prosthetic delivery typically land between 4-6 months post-surgery, depending on bone quality, implant count, and the surgical protocol your patient followed.
THE CONTEXT
What sits behind it
For oral surgeons and prosthodontists coordinating the prosthetic handoff, the recovery timeline breaks into two distinct phases. The surgical phase covers the first 2-4 weeks: soft tissue closure, patient adaptation to the immediate-load provisional, and early integration monitoring. The lab's role during this window is provisional quality. A poorly fitting provisional stresses the implants during the most critical integration period. Dani Dental delivers All-on-X provisionals with a turnaround commitment designed to keep your surgical schedule on track, not stall it.
The restorative phase begins once your CBCT confirms adequate osseointegration, typically at the 3-5 month mark. This is when final scans come to the lab, digital design begins, and the definitive monolithic zirconia arch is fabricated. The digital workflow matters here: intraoral scan or model scan, CAD verification, and clinical approval before milling. Cases that skip verification steps at this stage generate remakes. Remakes add 2-4 weeks to a timeline that already runs months.
For DSOs coordinating All-on-X across multiple locations, standardizing the lab handoff protocol is what keeps per-case timelines predictable. A consistent scan-to-delivery SLA removes the variable that most commonly derails multi-site implant programs. Ask your lab what the documented turnaround is from final scan to delivery. If the answer is vague, that is your answer.
