All-On-X dental implants typically range from $15,000 to $30,000 per arch, depending on several factors including the number of implants needed, your bone density, and whether additional procedures like bone grafting are required. While this represents a significant investment, All-On-X implants are a permanent solution that can last 20+ years with proper care, unlike traditional dentures that require replacement every 5-7 years.

Many practices offer flexible financing options including:

• In-house payment plans
• Third-party healthcare financing (CareCredit, LendingClub)
• Insurance coverage for portions of the procedure

We recommend scheduling a consultation to receive a personalized treatment plan and accurate cost estimate based on your specific needs.

The All-On-X procedure is performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation, so you won't feel pain during the surgery itself. Most patients report feeling pressure but no discomfort during the procedure.

After the procedure, mild to moderate discomfort is normal and typically manageable with prescribed pain medication. Most patients describe the recovery as less painful than having multiple tooth extractions. You can expect:

Days 1-3: Peak discomfort, manageable with medication
Days 4-7: Significant improvement, reduced pain medication needed
Week 2+: Most discomfort resolved

Swelling and bruising are common but subside within the first week. Following post-operative instructions carefully—including cold compresses, soft foods, and proper oral hygiene—significantly reduces discomfort and promotes faster healing.

The All-On-X procedure typically takes 2-3 hours per arch to complete. If you're replacing both upper and lower teeth, the full procedure can be completed in a single day, though many patients prefer to schedule them separately.

Timeline breakdown:
Day of surgery: You'll receive your temporary prosthesis immediately after implant placement, allowing you to leave with a functional smile the same day.

Recovery period: 3-6 months for full osseointegration (implant fusion with bone)
Final restoration: After complete healing, we'll replace your temporary teeth with your permanent, custom-crafted prosthesis.

The immediate teeth placement means you won't go without teeth during the healing process—a significant advantage over traditional implant approaches that require months of healing before receiving replacement teeth.

Yes, All-On-X implants restore approximately 70-80% of your natural chewing power, allowing you to eat most foods comfortably—a dramatic improvement over traditional dentures, which only provide about 25% of natural chewing force.
During the first 4-6 weeks following surgery, you'll need to maintain a soft food diet to allow proper healing. This includes:

• Scrambled eggs, yogurt, smoothies
• Mashed potatoes, soft pasta
• Tender fish, ground meats
• Cooked vegetables

After full healing, you can enjoy:

• Steak and tough meats
• Raw vegetables and salads
• Corn on the cob, apples
• Nuts and crunchy foods

Unlike removable dentures, All-On-X implants don't slip or require adhesives, and they don't cover your palate—meaning you'll taste food better and speak more naturally. You can eat confidently in social situations without worrying about denture movement or food getting trapped underneath.

All-On-4® is a specific dental implant treatment trademarked by Nobel Biocare that uses exactly four implants per arch. All-On-X is a broader term referring to full-arch implant-supported dentures using a variable number of implants (typically 4-6) based on individual patient needs.
Key differences:

All-On-4®:

• Always uses exactly 4 implants per arch
• Two straight anterior implants, two angled posterior implants
• Specific implant system and protocol
• Trademarked procedure

All-On-X:

• Uses 4-6 implants depending on bone density and arch size
• Flexible implant placement based on available bone
• Can use various implant systems
• Customized to patient anatomy

Which is better? The ideal solution depends on your specific bone structure and oral health. Patients with excellent bone density may only need 4 implants, while those with bone loss might benefit from 5-6 implants for better support and longevity.

During your consultation, we'll perform a CT scan to determine the optimal number and placement of implants for your situation, ensuring the best long-term outcome for your investment.
