All-on-X Dental Implants

If you’re missing most or all of your teeth, or dealing with dentures that no longer feel stable or comfortable, there is a transformative solution. At Dunwoody Dental Health, we offer the advanced All-on-X dental implant approach to restore an entire arch of teeth with just a few strategically placed implants. This is a full arch replacement done with precision, comfort and long-term reliability.

What Is the All-on-X Approach?

The term “All-on-X” refers to a full-arch replacement where a complete set of upper or lower teeth is anchored on fewer implants (commonly 4, 6 or sometimes more) rather than placing an implant for every missing tooth.

With this method:

Fewer implants are needed, making the treatment less invasive than individually replacing each tooth.
Angled placements and modern imaging often reduce or eliminate the need for bone grafting.
You receive a strong, fixed arch of replacement teeth that behave and look like natural teeth, no more removable dentures resting on your gums.

Why Choose All-on-X at Dunwoody Dental Health?

There are powerful reasons to consider this solution:

Stable, secure prosthetic teeth that are anchored and won’t slip or shift like conventional dentures.
Restored function and confidence — enjoy your favorite foods, speak clearly, and smile freely.
Bone preservation and facial structure support — because the implants stimulate the jawbone, you reduce the risk of further bone loss and the “sunken face” effect.
Efficient treatment timeline — the All-on-X method often allows for fewer surgeries, less overall treatment time and fewer implants than older full-arch protocols.

Our Treatment Process

At our Dunwoody office, your full-arch restoration will follow a clear path tailored to your needs:

Comprehensive evaluation & planning: We use digital 3-D scanning, radiographs and a full oral exam to assess your bone health, gum condition, and overall suitability for the All-on-X approach.
Preparation and extractions (if needed): If you have failing teeth or retain remaining teeth in the arch, we’ll remove them and prepare the site for implant placement.
Implant placement surgery: We strategically place the implants, often 4-6 per arch, using guided implant technology to maximize bone use and implant stability.
Provisional teeth / temporary restoration: In many cases, we can provide immediate temporary teeth so you’re not left without a smile during healing.
Healing and integration: Over the following months, the implants integrate with your jawbone (osseointegration). We monitor healing and progression.
Final prosthesis placement: Once the foundation is solid, we attach your custom fixed prosthetic arch. The result is a full set of replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth.
Ongoing care & maintenance: We continue to monitor your oral health, implant stability and prosthetic integrity so you can enjoy your restored smile for years to come.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a candidate for All-on-X?

This approach is ideal for people missing most or all teeth, especially those frustrated with traditional dentures. Good overall health, sufficient bone (or willingness for bone preparation) and commitment to oral hygiene are important.

How long does the process take?

While you may walk out with temporary teeth after surgery, full healing typically spans several months as the implants integrate. The final prosthetic is placed once your bone and gum tissues are ready.

What about pain or discomfort?

We provide comprehensive sedation and comfort options. Most patients report less discomfort than expected and experience improved quality of life soon afterward.

How do I maintain my new teeth?

Your full-arch prosthetic should be treated like natural teeth, brushing, flossing (or water-flossing) and regular dental check-ups are key. We’ll teach you the special cleaning methods required for optimal long-term success.
