All-On-X or hybrid dentures use multiple dental implants to secure a full arch of missing teeth. With several strategically placed dental implants, these dentures can secure a full tooth arch. Each patient is different and will require the “right amount” of implants for their smile.
Our dental team thoroughly evaluates patients’ smiles and uses state-of-the-art technology to plan their treatment. The All-On-X treatment itself is minimally invasive and looks and feels natural.
All-On-X uses screws to secure a hybrid denture to the dental implants in the mouth.
The All-On-X Procedure in Palmdale, CA
We begin the All-On-X process with 3-D imaging using a CBCT scanner, which we can do in our Palmdale and Lancaster dental offices. Then, we will use detailed images of your teeth, gums, and jaw to determine if you require additional services like bone grafting or a sinus lift.
We want to ensure that our patients are viable candidates for dental implants and that results will be stable and healthy. Treatment planning is also important to ensure that restorations like All-On-X are the best options for our patients. We use x-rays and 3-D imaging to determine the best places to place the dental implants and how many implants we will use.
After we ensure that patients have good oral health and enough bone tissue, we place the implants into the jaw bone or grafting material beneath the gums. The implants will secure the screw-retained hybrid denture. All-On-X is fixed in place. You can chew and bite naturally without dietary restrictions.
All-On-X FAQs
Do you want to learn more about All-On-X treatment but still have questions? Read answers to these popular questions about these dentures below:
Are All-On-X and All-On-Four the same?
All-On-X and All-On-Four refer to the same procedure for an immediate load denture, typically using more than four implants. Dr. Naguib will choose the appropriate number of dental implants based on your treatment needs and oral structure’s overall health and stability.
How many implants will I need for All-On-X treatment?
We can secure a denture with as few as two dental implants. However, your specific treatment plan is tailored to your needs. After thoroughly examining your smile and taking detailed x-rays, we can better understand how many dental implants you will require for All-On-X treatment.
Can you replace all of your teeth with All-On-X?
Yes, we can replace all your missing teeth with an All-On-X treatment, whether you’re missing an upper arch, a lower arch, or all of your teeth.
Can All-on-X implants fall out?
All-on-X implants are designed to be a permanent solution and are securely anchored in your jawbone. However, they can fail or become loose due to poor oral hygiene, infection, or insufficient bone density. Maintaining good dental care and regular check-ups helps ensure they stay firmly in place.
Is it hard to eat with All-on-X implants?
Initially, you might find eating a bit challenging as you adjust to the new implants. But once healed, All-on-X implants function like natural teeth, making it easier to chew and enjoy your favorite foods. Most people find that eating becomes comfortable and even enjoyable again.
How long after All-on-X dental implants can I eat normally?
You can start eating soft foods within a few days after the procedure. Typically, the implants take about six to eight weeks to fully integrate with your jawbone. After this healing period, you should be able to resume your normal diet without restrictions.
How long is the All-on-X recovery process?
The initial recovery lasts about a week, during which you may experience swelling and discomfort. Complete healing and integration of the implants with your jawbone can take three to six months. Regular follow-up visits with your dentist help ensure everything is healing properly during this time.
