All-On-X
All-On-X Is The Complete, Full-Mouth Solution For Missing Teeth (Teeth in a Day). All-on-X dental implants are unequivocally today’s preferred way to replace teeth. This full-mouth tooth replacement is a specialized dental implant procedure where with as few as four implants, We can replace an entire arch of teeth, eliminating the need for a mouth full of dental implants.
How Does All-On-X Work?
This revolutionary procedure is designed to do with just four dental implants what used to take 6, 7, 8 or more. The key is placement of the implants at strategic angles.
In the past when one implant was used to replace one tooth, they went into the jawbone straight. By angling the implants, more available bone can be utilized for a stronger, more sturdy foundation for your new teeth.
How Long Does It Take To Heal After All-On-X?
Regardless of whether you are having a single implant placed or having All-on-X, the healing time is still the same, about 4 to 6 months. In that 4 to 6 months, osseointegration is taking place. Osseointegration is when your bone and the implant fuse together, essentially making the implant a part of your body. This can be accomplished because the implant is made from biocompatible titanium – meaning it works with your body.
Think of this healing time as a “test drive” for your new teeth. The day of your All-on-X procedure, you will walk in with your old or missing teeth and leave the very same day with a perfect, brand new smile. This set of teeth are your “healing teeth”. They are nearly indistinguishable from what your “finals” will look like.
During the 4 to 6 month healing period, you will have ample time to decide if you like the color of your teeth, the shape, the fit, bite, etc. We can make all the adjustments that may be needed so that your permanent teeth are exactly what you want them to be.
