What Is the All-on-X Treatment?
If you have lost several or all of your teeth and are looking for a fixed, aesthetic, and functional solution, the All-on-X treatment might be just what you need. This revolutionary technique allows for full-arch rehabilitation using a reduced number of dental implants, typically 4 to 6, to support a fixed prosthesis.
At Dental Artistry, we explain everything you need to know about the All-on-X treatment and how it can transform your quality of life.
🦷 What Does the All-on-X Treatment Involve?
The term All-on-X refers to a technique where an entire dental arch (upper or lower) is supported by a specific number of dental implants, usually 4, 5, or 6. The key to this method is the strategic placement of the implants to maximize support and stability.
How Does It Work?
Initial Evaluation:
The dentist conducts a comprehensive clinical assessment, including X-rays and a CT scan to evaluate bone quantity and quality.
Implant Placement:
Implants are inserted in strategic positions, some at an angle, to make the most of the available bone.
Typically, 4 implants are placed in the lower jaw and 6 implants in the upper jaw.
Fixed Prosthesis Placement:
In many cases, a temporary fixed prosthesis can be placed on the same day as surgery, allowing the patient to leave with a fully renewed smile.
After a few months of healing, the final prosthesis is fitted.
🌟 Benefits of the All-on-X Treatment:
Firmness and stability: The fixed prosthesis is securely anchored, allowing for eating, speaking, and smiling without worry.
Quick results: Many patients can receive a temporary prosthesis on the same day as surgery.
Fewer implants, greater efficiency: There’s no need for an implant per missing tooth.
Aesthetic and functional: Offers a natural appearance and optimal chewing function.
Long-lasting: With proper care, these implants can last for decades.
