What is All-On-X Prosthetics?

All-On-X is a modern dental implant technique designed to fully replace an entire arch of teeth—upper, lower, or both—using as few as four to six implants strategically placed in the jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures, this solution is fixed, does not require adhesive, and offers improved function, aesthetics, and long-term stability.

The “X” in All-On-X reflects the versatility of the procedure, with the number of implants tailored to your individual bone structure and health. Dr. Rink uses advanced 3D imaging and digital planning tools to design and place the implants precisely, often avoiding the need for bone grafting.

What to Expect: The All-On-X Procedure

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation where Dr. Rink captures diagnostic images and reviews your oral and overall health. Using advanced software, he maps the optimal implant locations to ensure maximum stability and efficiency.

On the day of surgery, any remaining teeth are gently removed if necessary. Dental implants are then placed strategically into the jawbone. A temporary fixed prosthetic is attached the same day—allowing you to leave with a full smile.

All-On-X Recovery and Results

Recovery from All-On-X surgery is generally quick and well-tolerated. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days. While your implants integrate with the bone over the next few months, you'll wear your temporary teeth, which already restore much of your function and appearance.

Once healing is complete, Dr. Rink replaces the provisional prosthetic with your final, custom-designed restoration—sculpted to enhance your unique features and deliver a radiant, natural look that can last decades with proper care.

All-On-Four Prosthetics FAQ

What is the lifespan of All-On-X prosthetics?

With proper maintenance, All-On-X prosthetics can last 15–20 years or longer. The implants themselves often last a lifetime, while the prosthetic bridge may eventually need replacement due to wear.

Can I travel after receiving All-On-X treatment?

Yes, but it's recommended to stay local for at least a few days post-surgery to allow for follow-up care and ensure there are no early complications.

Are there any dietary restrictions after surgery?

Yes. Initially, patients should follow a soft-food diet for a few weeks while the implants stabilize. Over time, most patients return to a normal, unrestricted diet.

What are the risks associated with All-On-X procedures?

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks including infection, implant failure, nerve damage, or prolonged swelling. Dr. Rink takes every precaution to minimize these and monitors healing closely.

Will my speech be affected by the new prosthetic?

There may be a short adjustment period, but most patients report improved speech clarity after adapting to the fixed prosthetic.

Is sedation required during the procedure?

Sedation is optional but highly recommended for comfort. Dr. Rink offers multiple forms of sedation to suit your needs, including oral conscious sedation and nitrous oxide.

Can I choose the appearance of my prosthetic teeth?

Yes. Dr. Rink works with you to customize the color, shape, and alignment of your new teeth to ensure a natural, flattering appearance.

Does smoking affect the success of All-On-X?

Yes. Smoking significantly increases the risk of implant failure and can delay healing. Patients are strongly encouraged to quit before undergoing surgery.

Is there a warranty on All-On-X prosthetics?

Warranties vary by material and manufacturer, and Dr. Rink will review these details with you during your consultation so you know what to expect.
