All on X
Have you lost several of your teeth from decay or other causes? Dental implants can replace them, but you may not need multiple single-tooth posts.
We offer All on X in Chester, VA, as a more efficient option for replacing teeth on one or more arches.
What Are All on X Implants?
These are dental implants that replace an arch rather than just one tooth. You can replace a few or more teeth with this type of tooth restoration, such as All-on-4 or All-on-6. Instead of being one post per tooth, All on X uses posts to hold bridge-like structures in place.
How Do They Work?
All-on-X dental implants include posts placed in the jaw in certain locations. When these posts are secure, we use them to anchor a bridge or dentures with artificial teeth. This helps hold the restorative structure in place firmly.
What Benefits Do They Offer?
Getting All-on-X implants rather than single-tooth implants or other restorations offers the following advantages:
- Less invasive since fewer posts are used
- Efficient restoration option
- Less impact on jawbone structure due to even pressure distribution
- Faster treatment time
- Permanent replacement option for missing teeth
Are You a Good Candidate?
Since the implant procedure is invasive, our dental team has to ensure that you’re a suitable candidate. We check to see if you have the right amount of jawbone to support the posts or recommend bone grafting if needed. You’ll also need to have good oral health and no medical issues that interfere with healing. Being a good candidate also depends on the number of teeth being replaced.
What to Expect
We’ll sit down with you for a consultation about getting All-on-X implants. This evaluation helps us decide if this option is the most appropriate choice for replacing missing teeth. The procedure begins with posts being placed in your jaw, with a healing time of several weeks or months.
When your jaw is healed, it’s time for the bridge to replace your teeth. Your new implant posts should last a lifetime, though the bridge may need to be replaced at some point.
