Welcome to Fort Bend Dental's All-on-X Service: Your Key to a Lasting Smile Transformation!

All-on-X" involves the placement of a full arch/set of teeth on dental implants. It is designed to replace a full set of teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. Also known as All-on-4, this approach may utilize as few as 4 implants to secure your new smile, with the number of implants tailored to each patient's unique smile and needs.

Unlike traditional dentures, which are removable and typically rest on the gums, All-on-X treatment involves the placement of dental implants into the jawbone. The prosthetic teeth are then securely attached to the implants, providing a more stable and permanent solution. This eliminates many of the issues associated with traditional dentures, such as slippage, discomfort, and difficulty with chewing and speaking.

To assess your suitability for All-on-X treatment, it's essential to consult with a qualified dentist. Typically, individuals with adequate jawbone density to support dental implants are prime candidates. At Fort Bend Dental, we provide complimentary All-On-X consultations to address any inquiries and evaluate whether you're an ideal candidate for this solution.

All-on-X offers several advantages over other tooth replacement options:

• a. Stability: The dental implants used in All-on-X treatment provide a stable foundation for the prosthetic teeth, offering enhanced stability and preventing slippage.
• b. Improved chewing and speech: All-on-X allows for better chewing ability and speech, as the prosthetic teeth are securely fixed in place.
• c. Preservation of bone: The implants used in All-on-X treatment stimulate the jawbone, helping to preserve bone density and prevent bone loss.
• d. Aesthetics: All-on-X provides a natural-looking solution, as the prosthetic teeth are designed to match the appearance of natural teeth.
• e. Convenience: All-on-X eliminates the need for removable dentures, adhesive creams, and daily maintenance associated with traditional dentures.

The surgery is performed in a single appointment, allowing patients to sleep with sedation dentistry, and wake up with their new smile. Following a brief recovery period, a subsequent appointment will be scheduled to refine your final smile and ensure your complete satisfaction.

After All-on-X surgery, there is typically minimal discomfort and swelling. You will be provided with instructions on post-operative care, including pain management, oral hygiene, and dietary restrictions.

Yes, one of the key advantages of All-on-X treatment is that it allows patients to eat a wide variety of foods with confidence. The secure attachment of the prosthetic teeth to the dental implants provides stability and strength, enabling you to enjoy a normal diet without the limitations often associated with traditional dentures – get ready to eat like a kid again!

Proper care and maintenance of your All-on-X implants are essential for their long-term success. Your dentist will provide specific instructions tailored to your situation, but in general, caring for All-on-X implants involves:

• a. Regular oral hygiene: Brushing your prosthetic teeth and gums with a soft toothbrush and mild toothpaste at least twice a day.
• b. Flossing: Cleaning between the prosthetic teeth and implants using floss or other interdental cleaning aids such as a Waterpik or air flosser.
• c. Regular dental visits: Scheduling routine check-ups and professional cleanings with your dentist to monitor the health of your implants and address any issues promptly.

With proper care and maintenance, All-on-X implants can last for many years. The longevity of the implants depends on various factors, including oral hygiene practices, overall health, and regular dental check-ups. It is important to follow your dentist's recommendations for care and attend scheduled follow-up appointments to ensure the longevity of your All-on-X implants.

The cost of All-on-X treatment can vary depending on several factors, such as the number of implants needed, the materials used, the location, and the specific dental provider.
