What are All-On-X Implants?
All-On-X implants, also known as full-arch implants, allow for an entire arch of teeth to be supported by just four to six strategically placed implants. This technique provides a stable, permanent alternative to traditional dentures, offering a natural-looking and fully functional set of teeth. It's an ideal solution for those who have lost most or all of their teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, or both.

The Benefits of All-On-X Implants
Comprehensive Solution
All-On-X implants provide a full-arch restoration with fewer implants than traditional methods. This comprehensive approach restores your entire smile in one streamlined procedure, often eliminating the need for multiple surgeries or extensive bone grafting.
Immediate Results
In some cases, we can place a temporary set of teeth on the same day as your implant surgery. This means you can leave our office with a functional, beautiful smile while your permanent teeth are being crafted in our in-house laboratory.
Long-lasting and Natural
All-On-X implants are designed to last for decades with proper care. They look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Unlike removable dentures, they're permanently fixed in place, providing stability and preserving your jaw bone health.

FAQs
How do I know if All-On-X implants are right for me?
All-On-X implants are an excellent option for many patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. They're particularly beneficial for those who want a fixed, permanent solution instead of removable dentures. However, you need to have sufficient jaw bone density to support the implants. During your consultation, Dr. St. George will evaluate your oral health, bone density, and overall health to determine if you're a good candidate. If you lack adequate bone density, we may recommend bone grafting or sinus lifts to prepare your jaw for implants. Dr. St. George's extensive experience with implants, from single tooth replacements to full arch restorations, ensures that you'll receive the most appropriate treatment for your unique situation.
What does All-On-X feel like?
Once fully healed, All-On-X implants feel remarkably like natural teeth. Unlike removable dentures, they're fixed in place, so there's no slipping or clicking when you eat or speak. You'll be able to enjoy all your favorite foods without any issues. Many patients report forgetting they even have implants because they feel so natural.
What's the difference between All-On-X and dentures?
While both All-On-X implants and dentures can replace a full arch of teeth, there are significant differences:
- Permanence: All-On-X implants are permanently fixed in your mouth, while dentures are removable.
- Stability: All-On-X implants don't slip or shift, providing more confidence when eating and speaking.
- Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that typically occurs with missing teeth or traditional dentures.
- Maintenance: All-On-X implants are cared for like natural teeth, while dentures require special cleaning and adhesives.
- Longevity: With proper care, All-On-X implants can last a lifetime, while dentures typically need replacement every 5-7 years.
- Natural Feel: All-On-X implants feel more like natural teeth and don't cover the roof of your mouth like full upper dentures.
While All-On-X Implants typically have a higher upfront cost, many patients find them to be a worthwhile investment due to their longevity, comfort, and quality of life improvements.
