If you’re missing multiple teeth or struggling with dentures, you don’t have to live with discomfort or embarrassment. ® dental implants offer a revolutionary, long-term solution to restore your smile—providing a full set of fixed teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
At O’Bryan Advanced Dentistry, we specialize in All-On-X dental implants, meaning we go beyond a one-size-fits-all approach. Our team will evaluate your oral health and customize the right implant solution for your needs, whether that’s four, five, six, or more implants for optimal stability and function.
The All-on-X dental implant system is a new implant procedure for patients missing multiple teeth—perhaps even most or all of an upper or lower set—due to an accident, tooth decay, or gum disease. When the damage is too severe for standard implants, bridges, or crowns, All-on-X is a dental implant treatment plan that replaces missing teeth in a day, restoring full function and beauty to the patient’s mouth.
Regardless of the cause of lost teeth, tooth replacement is an issue that a qualified dental implant center must address to maintain a lifetime of healthy oral hygiene.
A standard dental implant, along with crowns and bridges, are viable treatment options when a patient has lost some or all of a single tooth. With a single implant, a prosthetic tooth is anchored in the bone of a tooth socket. Each anchor, which serves as an artificial tooth root, may require a bone grafting procedure, necessitating extended healing time.
When a patient has lost many teeth, replacing each one individually can be difficult, costly, and painful. The All-on-X process uses just four anchors in the jawbone to provide a secure base for a full upper or lower set of replacement teeth. With on-4 treatment, patients experience fewer invasive procedures and quicker recovery. You’ll be smiling sooner, with your confidence in your appearance restored.
The first step is to schedule a consultation with one of our dentists, who will assess your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine the best full-arch implant solution for your needs. During this visit, we may take x-rays, intraoral images, or impressions of your teeth. Detailed measurements will be taken to plan the precise placement of the implants and design the shape and orientation of the replacement teeth.
All-On-X implants are custom-planned for each patient to ensure a perfect fit and natural appearance. Our goal is to provide a stable, long-lasting solution that functions like real teeth and enhances your smile.
During your consultation, your dentist will fully explain the implant process and answer any questions you may have. You will also receive guidance on the expected results and the next steps. A second appointment will then be scheduled for the actual procedure.
During the procedure, any remaining teeth that cannot be saved will be extracted, and an incision will be made in the gums to expose the jawbone. If needed, the bone may be reshaped to create a secure foundation for implant placement.
Pilot holes for the implants will be drilled at precise angles to maximize stability and avoid important structures like nerves or sinus cavities. Once the implants are securely placed, all incisions will be closed, and a temporary prosthesis will be attached. This allows patients to leave the office with a functional, natural-looking smile while the gums and jawbone heal.
After the procedure, patients will be prescribed pain relievers if necessary and provided with instructions for proper oral care to promote healing. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor progress and ensure that the implants are integrating correctly.
For the first few months, it is recommended that patients follow a soft-food diet to allow the implants to bond securely with the jawbone. This healing process, known as osseointegration, typically takes 3-4 months. Once healing is complete, patients can gradually introduce firmer foods back into their diet.
At this stage, the patient will return to our office for final impressions. These impressions will be used to craft a permanent, custom-fitted bridge. The dentist will remove the temporary prosthesis and take precise molds to ensure that the final set of teeth fits perfectly.
Once the final prosthesis has been placed, the patient is ready to enjoy a beautiful, functional, and permanent smile!
