What Are All-on-X Dental Implants? Procedure Explained

What are All-on-X dental implants, and how are they different from All-on-4 or All-on-6? In this video, Dr. John Ku of W Plus Dental in Washington, DC explains the All-on-X dental implant procedure, how it works, and why it can be an effective option for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth.

All-on-X dental implants are a full-arch tooth replacement solution that uses multiple dental implants to support a fixed set of replacement teeth. Depending on the patient’s bone structure, oral health, and treatment needs, the procedure may involve All-on-4, All-on-6, or another number of strategically placed dental implants to support the new smile.

Dr. John Ku explains how All-on-X treatment can help patients who have:

• Multiple missing or failing teeth
• Severe tooth decay or broken-down teeth
• Advanced dental problems requiring full-mouth reconstruction
• Loose or uncomfortable dentures
• Been told they may need all of their upper or lower teeth removed
• A desire for a more stable, fixed alternative to removable dentures
  

Unlike traditional dentures, All-on-X implant-supported teeth are secured by dental implants, providing greater stability for eating, speaking, and smiling. In many cases, patients may also be able to receive a temporary fixed set of teeth on the same day as implant placement, followed by a customized final restoration after the implants have healed.

At W Plus Dental in Washington, DC, Dr. John Ku focuses extensively on advanced implant dentistry and full-arch dental implant treatment. Every All-on-X case is carefully planned based on the patient’s anatomy, bone availability, bite, smile, and long-term restorative needs.
