Who is a Good Candidate for All-on-X Dental Implants?
All-on-X replaces all teeth in the upper or lower jaw (or both) with a set of natural-looking artificial teeth. Four to six implants per jaw are used to support a full set of teeth, avoiding the need for extensive bone grafting. Dr. Howard at The Center for Advanced Dentistry uses advanced technology and surgical techniques for long lasting and beautiful results.
The surgery takes about 2-3 hours per jaw (up to 4 hours for both). After surgery, a temporary set of fixed teeth is attached the same day. Three months later, permanent porcelain or zirconia teeth replace the temporary ones. Our process provides a streamlined procedure and quick recovery so you can resume daily life soon.
Discomfort is mild to moderate and managed with over-the-counter pain relievers like Ibuprofen for 3-5 days. Stronger medication may be needed occasionally. By day four, discomfort and swelling improve significantly. The Center for Advanced Dentistry offers anesthesia options to keep you comfortable.
We aim to make your experience comfortable. Schedule a free consultation to discuss options.
Modern technology leads to precision:
Unlike older methods with messy impressions and fragile teeth, today’s digital scans and 3D-printed teeth are precise, strong, and quick to replace if needed. This makes the process smoother and more reliable.
