All-on-X is a minimally invasive method of placing a full mouth of implants only using four implants to support a full arch (upper or lower) fixed non-removable replacement teeth.

What is All-on-X?

All-on-X is a type of traditional dental implant treatment. It involves placing four dental implants in the jaw and attaching a full arch of non-removable replacement teeth. All-on-X is considered a minimally invasive procedure because only four implants are required for the All-on-X treatment.

Benefits of All-on-X

All-on-X is a minimally invasive way of placing a full mouth of implants only using four implants to support a full arch (upper or lower) fixed non-removable replacement teeth.

This improves the patient’s comfort, oral health, and functionality.

Who is a candidate for All-on-X?

All-on-X is often recommended for patients who are missing all teeth and who want to avoid having a removable denture or a partial denture.

The All-on-X supports a full arch of upper or lower replacement teeth without requiring you to wear a removable denture or to have bone grafting or sinus augmentation. Your replacement teeth will look as natural as the rest of your teeth, and you’ll be able to enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about your teeth.

How is All-on-X performed?

All-on-X is performed using only four dental implants to support the fixed non-removable replacement teeth, as opposed to six or more implants for the traditional All-on-4 method. The four implants are placed at an angle to provide maximum bone support, and the implants are placed to maximize the health of the jawbone.

Titanium implants are inserted into the patient’s jawbone, and the implants are then allowed to fuse to the bone. The abutments (or connectors) are then attached to the implants that are supporting the new teeth. The replacement teeth are then attached to the abutments.

All-on-X is very similar to All-on-4, with the only major difference being the number of implants used. However, both methods are only recommended for patients that have a strong jawbone and healthy gums.

What are the drawbacks of All-on-X?

All-on-X is an invasive surgery and requires a longer healing time than standard single implants.

All-on-X requires at least 4 implants to be placed in the jawbone. Since patients’ bone quality can vary, 4 implants may not be enough support to keep the new teeth from shifting.

Is All-on-X a better option than traditional dentures or dental bridges?

All-on-X offers you a more stable, secure, and comfortable alternative than traditional dentures. Traditional dentures often cause embarrassing slips and uncomfortable rubbing. All-on-X is a permanent solution.

All-on-X uses only four dental implants to secure a full arch of replacement teeth. The arch is permanent and stable. Traditional dentures often shift and rub and cause embarrassing slips.

All-on-X is a less invasive solution than placing multiple traditional implants. Traditional dental implants require surgery. All-on-X is less invasive because only four dental implants are needed.
