For patients that are missing all their teeth, full mouth dentures have been the typical way of replacement for many years. While dentures might seem like a quick and easy solution to replace teeth, they often result in a negative impact on lifestyle and quality of life. Among other things, patients struggle with stability of dentures which causes discomfort, they worry about them falling out or needing to adjust them in social settings, they find chewing difficult and limit the foods they eat, and many also find taking them out at night causes embarrassment. Unfortunately, even the best made dentures cannot overcome these issues.

Full arch implant treatment, also known as All-on-X, is a cutting-edge dental procedure that provides a permanent and fixed solution for replacing a full arch of teeth. This innovative treatment involves the placement of dental implants to support a fixed dental bridge, resulting in a natural-looking and fully functional set of teeth. The “X” in all-on-X signifies the number of dental implants used, which can vary based on individual patient needs.

Full arch or all-on-X implant treatment offers numerous advantages. The treatment provides a permanent and fixed solution, eliminating the need for removable dentures that can be uncomfortable and inconvenient. With all-on-X implant treatment, patients can enjoy a stable and secure set of teeth that function just like natural teeth, enabling them to eat, speak, and smile more confidently, when compared to traditional dentures.
