Replace Your Missing Teeth with Solid and Predictable All-on-X Dental Implants

Are you tired of missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures? Pearls of Dentistry offers all-on-X dental implants in Poway, California, as a permanent solution for extensive tooth loss. Unlike conventional dentures, all-on-X implants placed by Drs. Juergen Langenbach and Lynne Thomas are anchored in the jawbone, rivaling the stability and appearance of natural teeth. Best of all, you’ll walk out of our office with new teeth, maintaining your functionality as your gums heal.

What are all-on-X dental implants?

Conventional dentures replace multiple missing teeth with a set of artificial teeth mounted on a gum-colored base. Traditional dentures are saddled on your gums and remain there with the help of natural suction and dental adhesives. While conventional dentures have a place in dentistry, they can be uncomfortable and unstable as your gums shrink away.

All-on-X or full-mouth implants provide the ultimate denture experience using as few as four implants per jaw. Sometimes, the dentist may use more dental implants, depending on your oral health needs. Instead of placing an implant for each missing tooth, the all-on-X technique uses as few implants as possible to ensure the procedure is less invasive and more cost-effective.

What can I expect from the all-on-X dental implant procedure?

The treatment starts with a consultation with our doctor to establish your suitability for the procedure. We’ll review your medical and dental history to create a personalized treatment plan. Unlike traditional implants, all-on-X dental implants don’t necessarily need bone grafting for patients with bone loss. We use the available bone to eliminate the need for dental grafts. After a comprehensive exam, Dr. Langenbach will surgically place 4-6 titanium implants at strategic locations in your jawbone. Our office prioritizes your comfort during oral surgery, using highly effective local anesthetics and, if needed, sedation dentistry to ensure a comfortable experience.

Once we complete your oral surgery, we’ll attach a temporary restoration on your implants to restore your functionality as your gums heal. Your implants will integrate with the jawbone over the next 4 to 6 months to form a strong bond. After successful osseointegration, you’ll return to our office to replace your temporary restoration with a permanent, custom-made denture designed by Dr. Thomas. Your new teeth will look and function like natural teeth!

What are the benefits of full mouth implants?

All-on-X dental implants are ideal when you have extensively damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. They are a complete set of teeth on the upper or lower jaw or both to restore your smile to its prime state.

The following are the life-changing benefits of all-on-X implants.

  • Stability: Implant-supported dentures are anchored in the jawbone to ensure your teeth don’t move or fall out when eating, speaking, or smiling. You don’t have to use messy adhesives or worry about restorations when using your teeth.
  • Comfort: Traditional dentures become loose over time, which irritates your gums. The all-on-X technique is more secure, providing comfort when eating or talking.
  • Conservative procedure: An entire arch of missing teeth may be restored with only four implants. This minimally invasive approach significantly reduces your recovery time and costs. Depending on bone quality and other factors, placement of more implants may be advised.
  • Jawbone preservation: After tooth loss, your jawbone shrinks or recedes when it lacks functional stimulation from your natural tooth. Dental implants encourage bone regeneration in the area placed to maintain your jawbone’s height and volume.
  • Simple maintenance: All-on-X dental implants are cared for like natural teeth with brushing and flossing. You should also schedule bi-annual dental appointments for regular check-ups and cleanings.
