All-on-X Implants: The Full-Arch Solution for Permanent Tooth Replacement

Tooth loss can have a lasting impact on both oral health and self-confidence, but modern dentistry offers solutions that restore much more than just your smile. All-on-X implants present a transformative option for patients seeking a permanent, stable alternative to dentures. 

At Sage Family Dentistry in Seattle, Dr. Sam Sage and his team provide compassionate, customized care using the latest dental technology to make your experience as comfortable and effective as possible. All-on-X is an advanced, full-arch solution that helps you smile, speak, and eat with absolute confidence again.

What Are All-on-X Dental Implants?

All-on-X implants are a revolutionary approach to full-arch tooth replacement. They use four to six strategically placed dental implants to support a full prosthetic arch, eliminating the need for individual implants for each missing tooth. 

This solution is ideal for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth in the upper or lower arch, or who are facing complete extraction. Unlike traditional dentures, All-on-X implants are fixed in place permanently and do not need to be removed. They also offer a level of stability and functionality that closely mimics natural teeth. Benefits include:

• Permanent, non-removable solution
• Improved biting and chewing ability
• No slipping or gum irritation
• Preservation of jawbone volume over time
• Natural-looking aesthetics and feel

At Sage Family Dentistry, we use advanced tools like 3D CBCT X-rays and iTero intraoral scanners to plan implant placement with exceptional precision, ensuring optimal durability and patient outcomes.

Who Makes a Good Candidate for All-on-X?

Many patients assume they’re not eligible for dental implants due to bone loss or past oral health issues. However, All-on-X is designed with flexibility in mind. 

Because the implants are angled and placed strategically, they often work well even in cases with minimal bone volume. This sometimes eliminates the need for bone grafting altogether. Good candidates typically include those who:

• Have multiple missing or failing teeth
• Are tired of the discomfort or inconvenience of removable dentures
• Seek a permanent, low-maintenance solution for their smile
• Are in general good health for surgical procedures

Dr. Sam Sage takes the time to review your full medical history, oral health status, and personal goals to determine if All-on-X implants are right for you. Every treatment plan at Sage Family Dentistry is customized to your unique needs, ensuring comfortable care you can trust.

The All-on-X Treatment Process

From consultation to final placement, the All-on-X process is designed to be seamless, efficient, and minimally invasive. Thanks to our in-house technology and comprehensive service offerings, you can receive your entire course of treatment in one familiar office. There is no need for external referrals. The typical steps include:

• Consultation & Planning: A detailed consultation with Dr. Sage, complete with 3D imaging and a digital preview of your future smile.
• Implant Placement: Using guided surgical techniques, four to six dental implants are placed in the jawbone in a single visit.
• Temporary Prosthesis: A temporary full-arch prosthetic is placed the same day, so you leave with a functional smile.
• Final Restoration: After a healing period of 3-6 months, your final custom prosthetic is placed, offering long-term comfort and stability.

The team at Sage Family Dentistry emphasizes clear communication and step-by-step guidance so you always know what to expect. We also provide compassionate emergency support should any issues arise during recovery.
