Living with missing teeth can impact your confidence, your ability to chew, and even your overall oral health. For those seeking a reliable, lasting solution beyond traditional dentures, All-on-4 and All-on-X implants offer remarkable alternatives. These advanced techniques not only give you a beautiful, functional smile but also restore your quality of life. At ANEWU, we specialize in providing patients with expert care and advanced implant solutions like All-on-4 and All-on-X to meet diverse needs.
All-on-4 and All-on-X implants are advanced dental solutions designed for full-arch teeth replacement. They provide secure, permanent alternatives to removable dentures by anchoring a complete set of teeth onto a fixed number of implants. While the two methods are similar, each is tailored differently to cater to a patient’s unique bone structure, lifestyle, and oral health goals.
The All-on-4 approach involves the placement of four implants in a single arch, using specific angles to maximize stability. This strategic approach often allows patients with moderate bone loss to avoid bone grafting. The four implants are positioned in the areas with the densest bone, creating a solid foundation for a full arch of teeth, without the need for additional implants. It’s an efficient and effective option for many patients who want a simple yet reliable full-mouth restoration.
“All-on-X” is a versatile method that offers the flexibility to use more than four implants based on individual patient needs. In this technique, patients may receive five, six, or even more implants in a single arch, providing added support for those with unique bone structures or extensive bone loss. This customization allows for optimal placement and stability, giving patients a truly personalized full-arch restoration.
Both All-on-4 and All-on-X treatments at ANEWU are tailored to ensure that each patient receives the best possible outcome based on their unique oral anatomy. Here’s a breakdown of what patients can expect:
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation, during which we assess your dental health, bone structure, and aesthetic goals. Advanced imaging technology helps us determine the ideal number and placement of implants, whether it’s four (for All-on-4) or more (for All-on-X), ensuring you get the best results.
The implant procedure itself is done with precision to place the implants in strategic locations. In the All-on-4 method, two of the implants are typically angled to enhance stability and make use of the denser areas of bone, even when bone density is limited. For All-on-X, additional implants are placed to accommodate your specific bone structure, providing extra support for the prosthetic arch.
After the implants are positioned, a temporary prosthetic arch is often attached, allowing you to leave with a full set of functioning teeth that same day. This temporary set will be replaced with a custom, permanent prosthesis after the implants have fully fused with the bone.
Both All-on-4 and All-on-X implants offer transformative benefits, making them an ideal choice for those looking for a lasting solution to tooth loss.
These implants are fixed securely to the jawbone, providing a strong and natural-feeling foundation. They won’t slip or shift as traditional dentures might, giving you complete confidence to chew, smile, and speak comfortably.
One of the main advantages of both All-on-4 and All-on-X implants is that patients often receive a functioning set of temporary teeth on the same day as the implant surgery. This immediate transformation allows patients to enjoy their new smiles without delay.
With the angled placement in All-on-4, the procedure is suitable for those with some bone loss without needing additional bone grafting. Similarly, All-on-X’s flexibility with implant number allows us to avoid grafting in many cases by customizing implant placement.
Implants are a lifetime investment when properly maintained. Not only are they extremely durable, but they also help stimulate the jawbone, which prevents the bone loss commonly associated with missing teeth and removable dentures.
While both options serve to replace a full arch of teeth, the difference lies in the flexibility and adaptability of the implant count and positioning:
The choice between All-on-4 and All-on-X largely depends on your oral health, bone density, and specific smile goals. At ANEWU, we carefully evaluate these factors to guide you toward the right solution.
