If you have lost multiple teeth, our prosthodontists may recommend All-on-X® implants to replace your teeth and restore your smile. Our skilled prosthodontists will coordinate with our oral surgeons to ensure precise implant placement, ensuring that your final result is tailored to your exact needs and will maximize the benefits of your treatment plan.
What Are All-on-X Implants?
All-on-X dental implants are a revolutionary solution for patients suffering from significant tooth loss or decay, offering a full-arch restoration on just four, six, or more dental implants per arch. Unlike traditional dental procedures that replace each tooth individually, the All-on-X technique uses the minimum number of implants necessary to support a full set of artificial teeth, providing a permanent, stable, and aesthetically pleasing solution for your smile. This innovative approach leverages strategic placement of implants in areas with the highest bone density, enhancing support and durability.
Benefits of All-on-X
Benefits of All-on-X implants include:
- A more secure and comfortable fit, resembling the feel of natural teeth more closely than conventional dentures.
- A long-term result which works to preserve your jawbone by mimicking the natural function of teeth.
- An easier maintenance and cleaning routine than traditional dentures or other tooth replacement options.
- Improved quality of life – patients who receive All-on-X can enjoy a broader range of food, improving nutritional intake.
- An aesthetic and naturally beautiful smile that boosts self-confidence.
The All-on-X Procedure
The All-on-X procedure is meticulously planned and executed in stages, beginning with a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s oral health, including X-rays and 3D imaging. This assessment helps in customizing the treatment plan to the patient’s specific needs. During the surgical phase, the implants are precisely placed into the jawbone. After a period of healing, allowing for osseointegration where the bone fuses with the implants, a temporary set of teeth may be attached, offering functionality and aesthetics immediately. The final step involves the fabrication and fitting of the permanent prosthetic teeth, meticulously crafted to match the natural appearance and bite of the patient. This procedure not only restores the ability to eat and speak comfortably but also revitalizes the patient’s overall facial structure and smile aesthetics.
