What are All-on-X dental implants?
You can think of All-on-X implants as part dental implant, part non-removable replacement teeth.Depending on your exact needs and preferences, we can surgically place 4, 5, or 6 implants into your jawbone. A custom-made arch of teeth is then permanently installed on top of the implants to ensure the false teeth do not shift.
Benefits of All-on-X implants
There are several advantages to choosing All-on-X implants. A few of those benefits include:
- More stability and robustness
- Better chewing ability; allows for consumption of harder and stickier foods
- No loosening or shifting while talking
- Comfortable fit
- Less friction on the gums
- Prevention of bone loss in jaw
- Natural-looking and feeling
Who Is a Candidate?
Any patient who is currently missing teeth or will require permanent tooth extraction is eligible. However, our dentists can discuss your specific situation with you in-depth to determine if All-on-X implants are the best solution.If the idea of traditional dentures doesn’t sit right with you and you want more jawbone support with a permanent feel, we highly suggest this option.
All-On-X Implants vs. Traditional Dentures
Conventional dentures rest on top of your gums which means while they beautifully restore your smile, they do nothing to prevent bone loss in the jaw. As a result, it’s not uncommon for patients with full or partial dentures to experience jawbone deterioration over time.When untreated, bone loss in the jaw can lead to a condition called facial collapse. This can give you a sunken appearance and make it difficult or uncomfortable to continue wearing dentures.The good news is that All-on-X implants, or implant-supported dentures, have a strong foundation. In fact, the dental appliance is held in place by 4, 5, or 6 titanium posts embedded deep in the jawbone. It is this appliance that exerts pressure on the bone tissue, which signals to the body that it’s still in use. Otherwise, your body is so resourceful that it would simply absorb the minerals in your jaw to use elsewhere.
