All-On-X implant dentures offer a stable, natural-feeling solution to significant tooth loss. These implants provide a permanent, non-removable option that mimics the feel and function of natural teeth, enhancing chewing power and confidence while talking, laughing, or eating. They also help preserve jawbone health.
What Is All-on-X?
The All-on-X treatment concept revolutionizes dental implants by supporting a full arch of teeth on a set number of implants, often four. This permanent solution restores smiles for patients missing most or all of their teeth.
This technique offers the benefit of immediate function, reduces the need for bone grafting, and provides patients with a full set of fixed, highly functional, and aesthetically pleasing new teeth.
The All-on-X treatment plan is for patients who need dentures. It is a more secure and comfortable way to use dentures long term. If you have many missing teeth or severely damaged teeth, you may be a good candidate.
However, if you are lacking sufficient bone mass, it may be difficult to place the implants. Dr. Butler can give you an examination to determine whether All-on-X will work for you.
Here is a crash course on what to expect during this process:
Dr. Butler will first meet with you to make sure that you both are on the same page in terms of personal and financial obligations. He will also go over your dental history to make sure you are a good candidate for the procedure.
Using our exceptional dental technology, Dr. Butler will take 3D scans to determine how many implants you need and where to place them.
Some of our patients need additional steps to prepare for All-on-X. Some of these steps might include:
After the implants and dentures are placed, a step called osseointegration starts. Osseointegration is when the implants fuse with the jawbone to create a solid foundation for your implant dentures.
To help osseointegration happen, Dr. Butler might recommend these tips:
With proper care and placement, your All-on-X implants should be completely integrated in 2–4 months.
