WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE FOR ALL ON X DENTAL IMPLANTS

The process starts with a thorough examination of your oral condition. The dentist will make an assessment of your existing dentures, medical conditions, facial structure and will determine the course of placing your implants.

This will be followed by CT scans of your jawbone so that the dentist can determine the right position for placing the implants. The scans will also show the location of the bone sinuses and nerves for the implants. This step makes the whole procedure accurate.

An expert dentist determines the ideal location to fix the implants and then places them into the bone.

Now, a temporary denture is fixed so that the patient can use the implants normally for eating while the jawbone heals and sets around the implant like it does naturally around teeth. The healing takes place for a few months, after which a full-arch denture is permanently fixed to the implants.

All-on-X dental implants allow the dentist to fix a dental bridge fixed by 4 implants in the top or bottom row of teeth. The implants are fixed in the jawbone at the same time. 

This means that with just 4 implants, you get to replace many lost teeth. The implant naturally fuses to your jawbone because it is made out of titanium.

Note: Some clinics may create and work with computer simulated models of the implants where the implants are digitally positioned into the jawbone in order to get the most accurate placement and results. The implants can be digitally adjusted and shaped according to the simulation. After this, the surgery is done.
