what is all-on-X?

All-on-X is the complete, full-mouth solution for missing teeth

All-on-X dental implants are unequivocally today’s preferred way to replace teeth. This full-mouth tooth replacement is a specialized dental implant procedure where with as few as four implants, Beaumont Dental’s Dr. Brent and Dr. Tamra Peeke can replace an entire arch of teeth, eliminating the need for a mouth full of dental implants.

An All-on-X dental implant procedure is less invasive so the surgery itself is shorter than implant procedures of the past.

In just one day you can change your life. That’s right, All-on-X is done in one day – you walk in with your old smile and leave the same day with a perfect new smile – this is called Teeth in a day.

How does all-on-X work?

This revolutionary procedure is designed to do with just four dental implants what used to take 6, 7, 8 or more. The key is placement of the implants at strategic angles.

In the past when one implant was used to replace one tooth, they went into the jawbone straight. By angling the implants, more available bone can be utilized for a stronger, more sturdy foundation for your new teeth.

How long does it take to heal after All-on-X?

Regardless of whether you are having a single implant placed or having All-on-X, the healing time is still the same, about 4 to 6 months.

In that 4 to 6 months, osseointegration is taking place. Osseointegration is when your bone and the implant fuse together, essentially making the implant a part of your body. This can be accomplished because the implant is made from biocompatible titanium – meaning it works with your body.

Think of this healing time as a “test drive” for your new teeth. The day of your All-on-X procedure, you will walk in with your old or missing teeth and leave the very same day with a perfect, brand new smile. This set of teeth are your “healing teeth”. They are nearly indistinguishable from what your “finals” will look like.

During the 4 to 6 month healing period, you will have ample time to decide if you like the color of your teeth, the shape, the fit, bite, etc. We can make all the adjustments that may be needed so that your permanent teeth are exactly what you want them to be.

All-on-X dental implants look like real teeth

An All-on-X prosthetic has what traditional dentures do not – realism. Our dental prosthetics are crafted with the finest zirconia which allows for a translucency which gives each tooth a depth seen in natural teeth. The “gums” are masterfully hand painted to mimic the subtle variations seen in the colors of real gums.

dentures vs. all-on-X dental implants

what is teeth in a day?

Walk into Beaumont Dental with your old or missing teeth and leave the very same day with a brand new smile!

This is what we call, Teeth in a Day.

The life-changing All-on-X procedure allows for what is called immediate loading. This means that after the implants are placed, your hybrid can immediately be attached so you’ll never be without teeth.

The teeth you receive the day of your surgery are your “temporaries” or “healing teeth” and they are nearly indistinguishable from your “finals”, which are your permanent teeth.

why do i need healing teeth?

The purpose of healing teeth are threefold:

Healing teeth ensure that you aren’t without teeth during the 4 to 6 month healing period.
Do you like the color and shape of your teeth? Is the bite correct, do they fit perfectly? You have ample time to see what works, or to make any changes so that your finals are exactly what you want. Consider your temporaries a “test drive” for your final teeth.
Last, your healing teeth protect your implants. During the healing period a soft food diet is necessary to maintain to put as little stress on your fresh, new implants. A temporary hybrid is designed to break if you try eating foods that are too chewy, crunchy, or hard. This is intentional to prevent damage to your healing implants. Your final hybrid is strong and won’t break even when you’re eating your favorite crunchy foods.

am i a candidate for dental implants?

The foundation for your new teeth depends on the bone into which they’re implanted in to. Without enough healthy bone, there is nothing for the implant to fuse with. Certain conditions can cause a person’s bone to wear away: smoking, diabetes, or time without teeth are a few.

Even if you’ve been told you don’t have the necessary bone for dental implants – don’t worry! All-on-X gives patients with less bone a second chance to still be candidates for dental implants. All-on-X implants use specific angles in order to utilize more available bone.

And unlike any other tooth replacement option, dental implants can improve your bone health. Implants replace missing tooth roots which are needed to send signals to your body to keep growing bone in your jaw. Dental implants can help retain your facial structure, even retaining a more youthful appearance.

Come in to Beaumont Dental for a FREE ALL-ON-X CONSULTATION and find if you are a dental implant candidate.
