What are All-on-X dental implants?
When you imagine replacing an entire arch with implants, you might be imagining an implant for every tooth that you’ve lost. While this route can work, it’s unnecessarily expensive and invasive. All-on-4 or All-on-X implants are a groundbreaking technique for replacing all your teeth with a full arch of prosthetic teeth secured to the implants. The “4” in All-on-4 refers to the minimum number of implants per jaw, while “X” is a variable number, meaning more implants can restore your smile, usually six.
All-on-X implants use 4-6 implants per jaw to restore an entire arch of missing teeth. What does this mean for you? If you have lost all your teeth in the mouth, you only need 8-12 implants to fully restore your entire mouth! The All-on-X implant treatment approach is engineered to create a result that remains stable during everyday use and can last a lifetime with proper maintenance.
What’s the procedure for All-on-X implants?
Unlike traditional implants that can require multiple surgeries and lengthy healing time before ever placing a tooth on the implant, the All-on-X technique can restore- your smile with a temporary prosthesis in one appointment. Moreover, you can still potentially benefit from this treatment approach without needing extensive preparatory bone grafting. Angled implants, placed in the areas of your jawbone with adequate bone volume, are used in this treatment approach in a way that can’t be done with conventional single tooth implant restorations. This potentially eliminates the need for lengthy and costly grafting techniques.
Our commitment to excellence and patient comfort is reflected in our meticulous approach to the All-on-4 procedural steps. Drs. Ryan Jones and Caleb Estes at Nashville Restorative Dentistry will ensure every step of the process is carried out with precision, care, and conservatives.
One of the absolute coolest things that we get to do in restoring someone’s mouth health and smile and confidence is the all on x type of treatment approach so all on x just stands for whether it be four, you know six, eight implants it’s all the teeth being gone in someone’s jaw and placing a minimum of four, six if we can or more if you need to implants that one restorative prosthesis called a Hybrid Denture is attached to so if you imagine that you lost all your teeth two decades ago you didn’t have a ton of options you know you think about what a traditional denture is it’s an acrylic prosthetic that you can take in and out of your mouth that visually replaces all your teeth but isn’t held fast or stable by anything other than suction and potentially some adhesive goo that you put inside of it when we take someone that has been in that position and then can place several implants into the remaining bone and attach something like a hybrid denture to it that they can’t take in and out that can’t come loose when they eat that doesn’t cover their palate and minimize their ability to taste or enjoy food it is absolutely transformational from a confident standpoint, from a functional ability and from a cosmetic result it is amazing.
- Initial consultation: We’ll examine your smile and review your desired outcomes and expectations in order to create a customized treatment plan. We’ll leverage the latest imaging technology of CBCT 3D x-rays, digital photography, and digital impression scanning to gather as much information as needed to plan your new smile and ensure you are a good candidate for this treatment approach. Like every successful project, appropriate detailed planning for your full-mouth implant restoration is paramount. This step ensures we devise a cosmetically pleasing solution that serves your functional needs.
- Implant surgery: We’ll start by ensuring you are comfortable by administering anesthesia and possibly sedation if you desire. Depending on your treatment needs, four to six titanium or zirconia implants will be placed via a guided approach at software preplanned locations in the jawbone.
- Temporary teeth (Provisional Restoration): If the implants are stable enough at initial placement, we will 3D print a healing restoration that you will wear for the next several months while the implants integrate and stabilize in the jawbone. After surgery, we’ll give you immediate and long-term post-op instructions, including medications, home remedies, and plan appropriate follow-up visits to ensure an event-free recovery and successful osseointegration of the implants.
- Long term teeth (Definitive Restoration): After stabilization of the implants are confirmed (usually 3-4 months after placement), we’ll replace the immediate hybrid denture placed on the day of the surgery with a permanent milled zirconia material, custom-made restoration. Your new teeth will be solidly connected to the implants (you can’t remove them), comfortable, and natural-looking.
