All-on-X Implant Restorations Near You

Full-Arch Implant Support With a Fixed or Removable Option

From Consultation to Full-Arch Restoration

All-on-X is a full-arch dental implant approach designed for patients who have lost most or all teeth in an upper or lower arch. Rather than replacing each missing tooth with an individual implant, a full set of teeth is supported by several strategically placed implants, often four to eight per arch depending on anatomy and treatment goals. At Aurora North Dental, we begin with a detailed evaluation of your bite, gum health, and bone support, using tools highlighted in dental technology to plan implant placement as precisely as possible. Your treatment typically includes a consultation and assessment to confirm goals and whether a fixed or removable option is the right fit, advanced imaging and planning to map implant positions, and implant placement as outlined on dental implant surgery. When appropriate, a temporary restoration may be placed during healing, followed by monitoring visits as the implants integrate, and then a final full-arch restoration that is adjusted for comfort, bite balance, and long-term function. If you are comparing approaches, we can also review teeth-in-a-day and removable options through dentures.

Fixed and Snap-In Denture Options

All-on-X can support two common full-arch restoration styles, and the best choice depends on your preferences, anatomy, and long-term maintenance goals:

Fixed Full-Arch Restoration: This option is secured in place and is not removed at home. It is designed to feel more like a permanent set of teeth and is adjusted by the dental team during maintenance visits.

Snap-In Denture: This option uses implant support for stability but can be removed for cleaning. Many patients like the balance of a secure fit with the ability to take the denture out at home.

During your consultation, we will explain which option fits your oral health needs and what daily care looks like for each.

Recovery and Long-Term Care

Healing timelines vary by patient, but many people heal over several months as implants integrate with the jawbone. Most patients return to normal daily routines within a few days, while healing continues in the background. We provide aftercare instructions, review diet guidance during early healing, and schedule follow-ups to monitor progress.

Ongoing care matters, especially along the gumline and around the restoration. Daily brushing, cleaning around implant-supported teeth, and routine checkups help reduce the risk of inflammation and implant-related infection. If gum health is a concern, we may also discuss prevention and early treatment connected to gum disease. For questions related to coverage and planning, you can review dental insurance and financing.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What Does All-on-X Mean?

    All-on-X refers to a full-arch restoration supported by a specific number of implants, with “X” representing the number used based on your needs. Many cases use four to eight implants per arch, depending on bone support and the restoration design.

  • Am I a Candidate for All-on-X?

    Many patients may be candidates if they have extensive tooth loss and enough bone support for implants. Candidacy also depends on gum health, medical history, and bite factors. A consultation and imaging review help confirm what is appropriate.

  • What Is the Difference Between Fixed and Snap-In Options?

    Fixed restorations stay in place and are maintained by the dental team during hygiene visits. Snap-in dentures are implant-supported but removable, allowing you to take them out for cleaning. We will explain pros, maintenance, and lifestyle considerations for each.

  • Will I Get Temporary Teeth During Healing?

    In some cases, a temporary restoration is placed so you can function and smile while healing progresses. Whether that is recommended depends on implant stability at placement and your overall treatment plan.

  • How Long Does Healing Take?

    Many patients heal over several months as implants integrate with the bone. We monitor healing and determine the right timing for the final restoration based on stability, tissue health, and comfort.

  • What If I Have Gum Disease or Bone Loss?

    Gum health and bone support are key for implant success. If there are concerns, we may recommend addressing issues related to gum disease or discussing additional supportive procedures before implant placement. Your dentist will explain what is needed after reviewing your imaging.
