All-On-X Implants in Lubbock, TX

About All-on-4 and All-on-6 Dental Implants

All-on full-arch dental implants provide a solution for replacing all of your teeth without using a dental implant for each tooth. Instead, the procedure utilizes strategically-placed implants to anchor a full-arch prosthesis successfully. Most patients typically require four dental implants, hence the All-on-4 name. However, depending on your needs, Dr. Morgan may recommend more implants for extra security.

Our patients choose All-on-4 and All-on-6 styles of implants because this treatment provides a natural-looking, functional, and attractive outcome. If you only need to replace one or two teeth, see our dental implants page!

Some of the Reasons to Choose All-on Style Implants:

• Long-lasting results
• Provide better comfort than dentures
• Easy to speak with
• Custom-crafted for optimal aesthetics
• Guards against bone deterioration
• Eat all your favorite foods
• No removable “plates” to take out at night

What to Expect During an All-on-4/All-on-6 Implant Procedure

The Aesthetic & Implant Dentistry team of Lubbock takes great pride in providing customized solutions for our patients. For this reason, many of our all-on dental implant procedures require multiple visits to complete their transformation. 

Dr. Morgan will consult with you before the procedure begins to go over your treatment plan, but it typically follows these steps:

1. First, we will examine your teeth, gums, and bone structure to ensure you qualify for All- on-X implants. In some cases, we may need to treat any existing dental conditions, like gum disease, or remove diseased teeth before beginning the implant process. In other cases, Dr. Morgan may recommend bone grafts if you lack sufficient jawbone tissue. Since this procedure uses only a handful of implants, Dr. Morgan can place them in areas that maximize your current healthy bone structure.

2. Next, Dr. Morgan will numb and prepare each implant site. We provide sedation during the dental implant procedure. After placing the implants, you will need to rest for a few days. Then our team will fit you with a temporary prosthesis to wear over your implants while the lab creates your permanent replacement teeth and the implants integrate.

3. Once your implants fuse with the jaw and your permanent smile is designed, Dr. Morgan will attach your hybrid appliance to the implants. Now you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Maintaining All-on-4 Implants

Full-arch implants are just as susceptible to plaque buildup as your natural teeth. Failing to clean your new restorations can lead to stains, tartar buildup, and oral infections. But with the proper care, they can last a lifetime.

Fortunately, maintaining your new implants is simple and straightforward. You only need to brush and floss daily and schedule regular preventative care appointments. Use a floss threader or water flosser to clean between the prosthesis and gum tissues and around the base of each dental implant.
