All-on-X Full-Arch Implant Restorations Torrance

All-on-X full-arch implant restorations are a form of implant denture that uses a flexible approach to the number of implants used to secure your denture. With this approach, you will typically get 4-8 dental implants that secure your implant denture.

This type of implant denture can be removable or a fully fixed hybrid denture. The number of dental implants you get depends on your functional goals. With fewer dental implants, your implant denture is more likely to be implant-secured. This means that dental implants hold your restoration in place, but much of the bite force still rests on your gums, similar to traditional dentures. This is a significant improvement over traditional dentures, but it won’t restore the full function of natural teeth. These dentures are more likely to be removable.

With more dental implants, your implants can take on more of the bite force, directing it into your bone. This helps your implant dentures function more like natural teeth. These are more likely to be hybrid dentures (fixed dentures).

All-on-4 is a registered trademark for a particular approach to full-arch implant restoration using just four dental implants. It is a common and industry-leading approach to this technique that’s been around for more than 25 years.

The prosthodontists at South Bay Prosthodontics are familiar with this approach and have used it when working with some dental implant surgeons. There are some advantages to this approach, though it also has drawbacks.

If you have a dental implant surgeon who is recommending one or the other approach, we will go along with the implant dentist’s surgical plan. If you don’t have an implant surgeon, we will evaluate your situation to determine which approach is best for you.

All-on-X is very popular because it offers many benefits for patients. With this approach to dental implants, you will enjoy these and other benefits.

With All-on-X you have the ability to replace all your missing teeth in an arch with just one procedure. Often, this is the case even if you have remaining teeth to extract at the time of implant surgery.

All-on-X restorations often let us give you provisional implant restorations on the same day as surgery. That’s in part because the restoration balances biting and chewing forces so implants get enough force to stimulate bone building without putting the implants at risk.

With All-on-X, your South Bay Prosthodontics specialists can design a beautiful, natural-looking implant denture. Many people find they have the best smile of their lives thanks to the procedure.

With this approach, you can design the implant denture procedure you want. You can decide how many implants you want and what functional compromises you’re prepared to make.

All-on-X can help you get a full set of replacement teeth at a good value. In part, that’s because you can use fewer dental implants. Using only four dental implants is a lot less expensive than using one implant for every tooth. In addition, the way the All-on-X restoration balances forces means that most people can get this procedure without getting bone grafting–another significant cost-savings.
