All-on-X® is a revolutionary dental implant technique that provides patients with a full arch of replacement teeth supported by as few as four dental implants. This method is an excellent solution for individuals who have lost most or all of their teeth and seek a durable, stable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional dentures. At Pearl Family Dentistry, our team offers three distinct All-on-X options: removable, locator fixed and hybrid solutions. Each option caters to different patient needs and preferences, ensuring personalized care and optimal outcomes.
All-on-X Options
Removable All-on-X
The removable All-on-X solution combines the stability of dental implants with the convenience of a removable denture. This option is ideal for patients who prefer the flexibility of being able to remove their prosthesis for cleaning and maintenance.
Features and Benefits:
- Implant Support: A full arch of teeth is anchored on four or more implants, providing excellent stability.
- Removability: The denture can be easily removed by the patient for thorough cleaning and care.
- Cost-Effective: Generally less expensive than fixed options due to the simpler design of the prosthesis.
- Ease of Maintenance: Simplifies daily oral hygiene routines and allows for professional cleaning.
Locator Fixed All-on-X
The locator fixed All-on-X option provides a secure, fixed solution while still allowing for occasional removal by the dentist for maintenance. This method is suitable for patients who desire a more permanent feel but appreciate the ability for periodic adjustments and cleanings.
Features and Benefits:
- Locator Attachments: Uses locator attachments to securely connect the prosthesis to the implants
- Stability and Security: Offers a high level of stability, minimizing movement during eating and speaking.
- Professional Maintenance: Can be removed by a dentist for adjustments and deep cleaning, ensuring long-term oral health.
- Enhanced Comfort: Designed to fit snugly and comfortably within the patient’s mouth.
Hybrid All-on-X
The hybrid All-on-X solution is a fixed, non-removable prosthesis that provides the highest level of stability and functionality. This option is perfect for patients seeking a permanent, worry-free solution that closely mimics natural teeth.
Features and Benefits:
- Fixed Prosthesis: The teeth are permanently fixed to the implants and cannot be removed by the patient.
- Natural Aesthetics: Designed to look and feel like natural teeth, offering an excellent cosmetic outcome.
- Maximum Stability: Provides the highest level of stability, ideal for patients with an active lifestyle.
- Low Maintenance: Requires regular oral hygiene practices and routine dental visits, similar to natural teeth.
Advantages of All-on-X
Choosing an All-on-X solution offers numerous benefits:
- Immediate Results: Patients can often receive a full set of new teeth in just one day.
- Improved Quality of Life: Enhanced ability to eat, speak and smile with confidence.
- Bone Preservation: Implants help preserve the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that occurs with traditional dentures.
