A Confident New Smile in a Single Day
All-on-X dental implants replace an entire upper or lower arch of teeth with just four to six strategically placed dental implants and a full, fixed fixed or removable prosthesis that can be attached the very same day. The result is an immediate, secure smile that looks natural and feels stable, without the shifting or bulk of a traditional denture.
Meet Your Oral Surgeons
Dr. Andrus and Dr. Howard are board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons who focus on full arch implant solutions. Advanced 3D imaging and computer-guided surgery help them position each implant for maximum strength while avoiding anatomical structures, leading to predictable, long-lasting results.
What Makes All-on-X Different
- Uses four, sometimes six, implants to support an entire arch
- Back implants are angled to engage dense bone, often minimizing the need for grafting
- A provisional prosthesis can be attached the day of surgery so you leave with fixed teeth
- Final prosthesis is delivered after healing for optimal fit and esthetics
Are You a Candidate
You may benefit from All-on-X if you:
- Have many failing or missing teeth,
- Struggle with loose dentures,
- Want a fixed, non-removable option, and
- Are healthy enough for outpatient surgery.
A cone-beam CT scan lets us evaluate bone quality and create a digital surgical plan that is uniquely yours.
Benefits at a Glance
- Same-day smile with immediate function
- Fewer implants and often less bone grafting, which reduces cost and healing time
- Slim, palate-free design that restores taste and speech clarity
- Preserves jawbone by maintaining bone where implants are placed
- Easy home care with inter-dental brushes and water flossers
Your All-on-X Treatment Journey
| Step | What Happens | Your Experience |
| 1. Consultation | Meet Dr. Andrus or Dr. Howard, review 3D imaging, discuss health history. | Thorough explanation followed by plenty of Q & A time. |
| 2. Personalized Plan | Decide on anesthesia. Moderate or deep IV sedation, general anesthesia, or local anesthesia only. | Clear guidance on what to expect and how to prepare. |
| 3. Day of Surgery | Four implants placed, immediate provisional bridge attached | Comfortable surroundings and a caring clinical team. |
| 4. Immediate Recovery | Rest in-office until you are awake and stable; detailed take-home instructions. | A responsible adult drives you home and helps to care for you the rest of the day. |
| 5. Provisionalization | In some instances your restorative dentist may recommend placing a temporary to optimize the size and shape of the restoration. | Think of it as a “rough draft.” It’s a restoration using your implant(s) and a step toward a potentially better result. |
| 6. Abutment & Crown | Small connector (abutment) placed; your dentist secures the custom crown. | A strong, natural-looking tooth completes your smile. |
Throughout the process you will work closely with our Implant Treatment Coordinator, who schedules each visit, clarifies fees and insurance benefits, and remains available for any questions that arise.
