All-on-X Dental Implants in Hewitt, TX

The All-on-X procedure involves placing four to six implants in the jawbone that help support a full-arch denture. These implants serve as anchor points for the denture, eliminating the discomfort or other complications that are usually associated with removable options. As a result, you can regain many of your oral functions and a fuller smile!

A major advantage of the All-on-X technique is that the implants are positioned at specific angles to use jawbone support, so it can work even for those who have minimal bone loss. Our dentist also customizes the full-arch denture to resemble your natural teeth and gums, so you can smile more confidently again.

Generally, we recommend All-on-X implants for patients who have lost all or nearly all teeth in the upper, lower, or both jaws. It also offers a fixed alternative for those who wear removable dentures but have a hard time adjusting to them.

During your first visit to our clinic, our Hewitt team will assess your jawbone, oral health, and medical history to determine your eligibility. We also use digital X-rays and 3D scans for a more detailed examination. If there are any issues that may affect the treatment success, we will discuss them beforehand and adjust your plan accordingly.

This implant procedure offers several benefits, including:

• Secure, fixed replacement that does not slip or shift away
• Enhanced ability to chew a wide variety of foods without discomfort
• Reduced risk of further bone loss or facial sagging
• Shorter treatment duration with fewer dental visits
• Natural-looking restoration customized for your unique smile
• Improved speech clarity as compared to conventional dentures

The first step of the procedure is implant surgery, during which we place implant posts in the jawbone. Before starting, we will inject local anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout. Our dentist will then make small incisions in the gum tissue, prepare the jawbone, and position the implants.

Once they are secured, we will close the incisions with sutures. In many cases, we place a same-day denture, which acts as a temporary replacement until your implants fully merge with the jawbone. After three to six months of healing, the final custom denture is attached. With these replacement teeth, you get back to enjoying many of your favorite foods!
