What Are All-on-X Dental Implants? A Modern Solution for Full-Arch Tooth Replacement
If you’re missing most or all of your teeth and are tired of the discomfort and limitations of traditional dentures, you may have heard of All-on-4 dental implants. But did you know there’s an even more flexible and personalized solution called All-on-X?
At Hamblin Dental Implants and Aesthetics in Sandy, Utah, Dr. Scott Hamblin offers All-on-X dental implants as a stable, permanent solution for full-arch tooth replacement—customized to fit your unique needs.
What is All-on-X?
All-on-X is an advanced dental implant technique designed to replace a full arch of missing or failing teeth with a fixed, non-removable prosthesis. Unlike the traditional All-on-4 method—which uses exactly four implants—All-on-X allows for a variable number of implants, typically between four and six, depending on the patient’s jawbone density, anatomy, and long-term goals.
This flexibility means your treatment is tailored to your specific situation, offering enhanced stability, greater support, and long-lasting results.
Key Benefits of All-on-X Dental Implants
- Custom-Tailored to You: The number and placement of implants are personalized for your jaw structure and bone density.
- Minimally Invasive: Thanks to advanced technology and precise planning, the procedure often requires less surgery time and fewer bone grafts than traditional implant methods.
- Immediate Function: In many cases, patients receive a temporary fixed prosthesis on the same day as surgery, so you can leave the office with a complete smile.
- Natural Look & Feel: Your new teeth are designed to look, feel, and function just like natural teeth—no slipping or discomfort like traditional dentures.
- Improved Oral Health: Dental implants help preserve jawbone structure and facial contours, preventing the bone loss commonly associated with missing teeth.
