With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalsmiles.com\/all-on-4-6-dental-implants.html\">All-on-4 implant dentures<\/a>, dentists are able to fully restore a patient\u2019s bite, oral health, and confidence at the same time. But, another procedure called All-on-X has become very popular over the past few years. How is it different? Is it better than All-on-4? Which option would be best for you? You\u2019ll find the answers to these questions and more in today\u2019s blog.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are All-on-4 &amp; All-on-X Implant Dentures?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In case you need a refresher, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalsmiles.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implant<\/a> is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone in the space left by a missing tooth, and this acts like an artificial tooth root. The prosthetic actually bonds to the surrounding bone, and then it\u2019s attached to a brand new tooth. Typically, a patient undergoes the placement procedure, and then their jaw needs a few months to heal before their new teeth can be attached. And, if the jaw is too thin or brittle to adequately support implants as is, a bone graft may be needed to build up and strengthen it first.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For the All-on 4 and All-on-X procedures, four, five or six implants are positioned within the jawbone at the same time so they can support a full arch bridge, also called a hybrid denture. Thanks to their strategic placement in the bone spread along the entire arch, they\u2019re actually stable enough that the hybrid denture can be attached to the implants at the same appointment, instantly renewing someone\u2019s smile. In addition to taking less time to achieve a new smile compared to most other implant treatments, All-on 4 and X are designed to maximize a patient\u2019s existing jawbone density, allowing many to avoid the need for preliminary bone graft procedures, reducing the number of initial appointments prior to the implant surgery.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which One is Better?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Both procedures have been proven to deliver fantastic results, providing a strong bite, comfortable fit, and lifelike appearance, so why would a patient choose to get one over the other?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Essentially, All-on-X utilizes one to two more implants to provide extra security. As a patient ages, the bone density in their jaw will naturally diminish in areas without implants.\u00a0 All-on-X ensures that this process doesn\u2019t affect the stability or longevity of a patient\u2019s hybrid denture. \u00a0It\u2019s purposefully over-engineered, which is an extremely common practice in all types of disciplines that make things that are meant to last a lifetime.\u00a0 The goal is to create an extremely strong foundation for a patient\u2019s hybrid denture, and if one implant does not integrate adequately, 4 or 5 still remain to support the full arch bridge.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rebuild Your Smile Today<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Regardless of which procedure you choose, replacing your teeth is always a wise choice, and by choosing All-on-4 or All-on-X, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy results as quickly as possible, giving your smile a new lease on life in no time.
