All-on-X
All-on-X implants are a hybrid answer to the problem that missing teeth pose as they’re part dental implants and part dentures. This approach is permanent, non-removable, and involves multiple titanium posts being embedded into the jawbone before an arch of false teeth (denture) is secured on top. If you’re tired of having large gaps in your smile or require a more extensive tooth extraction procedure, our Metro Detroit dental implant dentists may recommend you choose .
How All-on-X Implants Work
The All-on-X procedure is a life-changing solution for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth. It uses 4 to 6 dental implants to securely support a full set of new teeth—either on the top, bottom, or both. Think of it like getting a permanent, natural-looking smile all in one day.
The process begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including dental scans and imaging, to assess your jawbone’s health and determine the optimal placement for the implants. Once you’re deemed a suitable candidate, we’ll move on to the surgical phase where the implants are placed strategically in the jawbone. The day after dental implant surgery, our dentists will attach a temporary set of teeth to provide function and aesthetics while your mouth heals and the implants integrate with your bone.
It isn’t until after your mouth has fully healed that you’ll come back into one of our dental offices to have the permanent denture firmly attached to the implants.
Why Do Patients Love All-on-X?
The advantages of All-on-X dental implants extend beyond aesthetics, providing patients with a range of benefits that significantly enhance their quality of life. Other benefits include:
- No more dentures that slip or click
- A feeling similar to your natural teeth
- Eating, speaking, and smiling with confidence
- Can often be done in just 24 hours
- Long-lasting and easy to care for
Is It Right for Me?
