All-on-X implants are a modern solution for replacing an entire arch of teeth using as few as four strategically placed implants, designed to restore your smile with precision and durability. Located conveniently in Frederick, MD, our advanced implant technology provides a comfortable, lasting alternative to traditional dentures.

What Are All-on-X Dental Implants?

All-on-X dental implants are an innovative solution for patients needing a fixed full-arch restoration, a permanent alternative to traditional removable dentures. This advanced procedure uses dental implants to securely anchor a full arch of prosthetic teeth, offering greater comfort, stability, and a natural appearance compared to dentures.

The term “X” refers to the number of implants used to support the arch, which typically ranges from four to six depending on individual needs. These implants act like artificial roots, providing a strong foundation designed to last for decades. Unlike removable dentures, All-on-X implants remain fixed in place, giving patients the confidence to eat, speak, and smile without worry.

This procedure is ideal for those seeking both function and aesthetic improvement, combining advanced dental technology with personalized care for optimal results. It is well-suited for restoring oral health and quality of life with a solution that feels almost indistinguishable from natural teeth.

The All-on-X Implant Process at Our Frederick Office

Diagnostic Surgery Same Day Results Final Restoration Diagnostic

During your initial consultation, Dr. Towe will determine if All-on-X is the appropriate treatment for you based on your current health and specific smile goals. She will then plan each step of your treatment digitally using 3D CT scans and intra oral scans. Virtual pre-surgical planning the procedure allows us to achieve consistent and ultra-precise results. Dr. Towe only uses high-quality implant posts and recommends using the longest-lasting and most aesthetically appealing restoration materials for your final smile.

Surgery

Dr. Towe relies on her extensive expertise and experience to complete smile-transforming surgeries every day. After making you comfortable with IV sedation, she’ll remove any remaining decayed teeth before placing a minimum of four durable titanium posts per jaw. These titanium posts are placed in strategic positions to support a full jaw of teeth.

Same Day Results

After the titanium posts are placed, Dr. Towe will work with your general dentist to attach a temporary bridge to the posts so that you can leave with a full mouth of beautiful and securely fixed teeth that same day! These will function just like real teeth until you receive your final bridge.

Final Restoration

After checking that your implants have successfully healed in the jaw bone, your temporary bridge will be replaced with a custom-designed and durable final bridge. The final bridge provides long-term function and beauty. You will finally have a brand new smile!

Frequently Asked Questions

How many implants are used in an All-on-X treatment?

The “X” in All-on-X refers to the number of implants placed, usually four to six per arch. The exact number depends on your bone structure and treatment needs.

Will I have teeth the same day as the surgery?

In most cases, yes. Many patients leave their procedure with a set of temporary teeth attached to the implants, so you never go without a smile.

How long does it take to heal after All-on-X implants?

Initial healing usually takes about 1–2 weeks, but full integration of the implants with your jawbone can take several months. During this time, you’ll wear temporaries before your final custom prosthetic is placed.

Are All-on-X implants painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort thanks to sedation options and precise surgical techniques. Any soreness after surgery is typically managed with medication and eases quickly.

How long do All-on-X implants last?

With proper care, All-on-X implants can last decades or even a lifetime. Regular checkups, cleanings, and good oral hygiene are essential for long-term success.

What should I expect if I get all-on-X dental implants?

Your damaged teeth will be extracted to make room for your new implants. When the time comes to place your implants, you will be asked to avoid eating and drinking the night before and day of your procedure, as you will be fully sedated for its duration. A minimum of four implants will be strategically placed into the supporting bone beneath your gums. The gums will be sutured closed to allow the implants time to fuse with bone and heal. Several months later, you will return to have your tooth prosthetics secured to the implants where they will remain permanently.

Will I need to follow any special care instructions after I get all-on-X implants?

Dental implants have a very high success rate, but there are some special care instructions you will need to follow after having them placed. It is normal to experience some pain and swelling after your procedure, though you may treat discomfort with over the counter medications or pain medications prescribed by your dentist. You may also need to rinse the treated area with a special solution several times each day and avoid using a straw. You may also be provided with an antibiotic and a list of temporary diet restrictions that will help you prevent infection.
