All-on-X Dental Implants in Somerset, NJ

All-on-X treatment is an advanced dental implant technique that’s used to replace all of the teeth in a patient’s upper or lower arch for a full-arch restoration. This minimally invasive surgical technique provides patients with the benefits of a complete set of teeth with the comfort and stability of traditional dentures.

The all-on-X treatment involves the placement of dental implants to support a fixed denture and, during the procedure, multiple dental implants are placed in the jawbone to support a permanent, full-arch bridge.

While the life expectancy of all-on-X isn’t the same for everyone, most dental professionals agree that this treatment can last over 20 years with proper care and maintenance.

The dental implants used in this procedure are made from titanium – which is famous for its strength and durability. The prosthetic teeth are made from acrylic or porcelain, both of which are highly resistant to staining, chipping, and wear and tear, making them an incredibly durable option.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that longevity will ultimately depend on how well you take care of your teeth and gums, as those who neglect basic oral hygiene practices (such as brushing and flossing) may hinder the lifespan of this implant. 

The healing time after all-on-X treatment will vary from person to person, as several factors such as age, overall health, and the number of implants placed can all affect how long it takes to recover.

In general, the immediate healing process takes approximately 2-3 days, and during this time patients may experience some swelling, discomfort, and mild pain. Your attending dentist may prescribe painkillers or recommend over-the-counter medication to help manage these symptoms.

After the initial healing period, it’ll still take several months for the implants to fully integrate with the jawbone in a process known as osseointegration, which is essential for ensuring the long-term stability and durability of the implant. 

Unlike traditional dentures, all-on-X treatment is permanent and provides greater stability and comfort. In addition to this, there are also several more incredible benefits, including:

• Improved Chewing and Speech Function. Patients with multiple missing teeth, or edentulous arches, are often unable to enjoy their favorite foods, speak clearly, or even smile comfortably. This innovative treatment restores these essential functions by replacing missing teeth and restoring the jawbone’s underlying structure.

• Increased Comfort and Stability. Patients who wear traditional dentures may experience discomfort, slipping, or clicking when they speak or eat. All-on-x treatment provides a stable, fixed solution and is designed to fit comfortably in the patient’s mouth, even during vigorous activities such as eating and speaking.

• Aesthetically Pleasing. This top-tier service replaces missing teeth and prosthesis looks like natural teeth, giving the patient a beautiful and natural-looking smile.

• Long-lasting Solution. Unlike traditional dentures, which require regular relining, repairs, and replacement, all-on-X treatment is a permanent solution. The implants fuse with the jawbone over time, providing a stable foundation for the prosthesis that can last for 20+ years.

• Preserves Bone and Gum Tissue. When teeth are lost, the jawbone can start to deteriorate, leading to the loss of additional teeth and a sunken appearance. This specialized treatment supports the bone structure, preserving it, and helps you to maintain facial aesthetics.
