Living with missing teeth, failing teeth, or loose dentures affects much more than your smile. It can change what you eat, how you speak, and how confident you feel around others. All-on-X dental implants replace a full upper or lower arch of teeth with a fixed, natural-looking bridge supported by a small number of dental implants. At Olive Branch Dentists in Indianapolis, we help patients regain a complete, stable smile they can enjoy every day.
All-on-X is a full-arch restoration in which a custom bridge of teeth is permanently attached to four, five, six, or more implants placed in the jawbone. The “X” stands for the number of implants your mouth needs, based on your bone, bite, and goals. It builds on the well-known All-on-4 concept but tailors the number and angle of implants to each patient for strength and long-term stability.
Because the bridge is anchored to implants instead of resting on the gums, it does not move when you chew or talk, and it is not taken out at night.
All-on-X may be right for you if you:
Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, and certain medications can slow healing. We review your health carefully and help you prepare for a successful result.
Full-arch implant treatment is a major procedure, and we want you to feel at ease. We offer IV sedation along with local anesthesia, so you can stay deeply relaxed throughout surgery. Most patients remember very little of the procedure.
Brush twice daily, clean around and beneath your bridge with a water flosser or implant floss, and keep up with professional cleanings and exams. Consistent care protects both your implants and your investment.
