What are All-On-X Implants?
The procedure commonly referred to as "Teeth in a Day" or All-On-X presents patients with the chance to undergo a comprehensive dental transformation in a single day. It involves the removal of remaining teeth, placement of implants, and the attainment of a fully functional smile. This not only improves the aesthetic appeal of patients' smiles but also revitalizes their overall perspective on life. Numerous individuals grapple with serious dental problems such as severe tooth decay, deteriorating dental work, and fractured teeth.

How It Works
This procedure encompasses the extraction of any remaining teeth, the placement of 4-6 implants per arch, and the attachment of a low-profile bridge to these implants. Typically, the implants are strategically positioned at specific angles to avoid the patient's sinuses, thereby eliminating the necessity for costly bone grafts and protracted healing periods.
Our doctor has elevated the conventional All-On-X procedure by tailoring it to their expertise and insights, leading to an even more favorable patient outcome. At Indiana Dentures and Implants, we meticulously assess each case and customize our treatment according to the individual patient's anatomy. Your doctor will embed between four and six implants per arch, and during the integration of implants with your jawbones and the healing of your mouth, temporary fixed bridges will be installed. Once the healing process concludes, the doctor and lab technician will craft your final teeth using zirconia. This material, notably more robust than the typical acrylic denture teeth offered elsewhere, imparts a more natural, lifelike appearance, is more hygienic, and resists staining. Consequently, these teeth boast a longer lifespan and superior aesthetics compared to the acrylic/titanium hybrid bridges commonly found in other dental practices.
Am I a Candidate?
Most patients, even those previously advised of insufficient bone for dental implants, are eligible for this procedure. To navigate around the sinuses and leverage the sturdiest bone, your doctor will utilize a mix of straight and angled implants. This approach generally obviates the need for expensive and time-consuming sinus augmentation bone grafts. In your complimentary consultation, your doctor will conduct a thorough evaluation to ascertain whether the All-On-X procedure, also recognized as "Teeth in a Day," is a fitting option for you.
All-On-X Cost
The cost includes the extraction of all teeth, an unlimited number of implants, temporary fixed teeth, and permanent fixed teeth.
Our pricing in the area is unbeatable, resulting in exceptional outcomes. This is achievable due to our expert dentist overseeing the entire procedure and our skilled in-house dental lab technician. Together, they have successfully completed this procedure numerous times.
When it comes to taking care of your teeth, we've got you covered! Our awesome dentist and in-house lab technician will work together to give you the perfect smile you've always wanted. Unlike other places that use acrylic denture teeth on titanium bars, we use zirconia because it's way better in terms of looks, durability, and staying stain-free. Usually, upgrading to these materials would cost you a pretty penny elsewhere, but here at FLOSS Dental of Magnolia, it's all included in our regular package.
Frequently Asked Questions
All-On-X Procedure Timeline
The procedure typically lasts between 4-6 hours, depending on whether you're undergoing treatment for a single arch (upper or lower) or both arches (full mouth). Upon leaving our office, your new implants will be securely fitted with temporary bridge(s). You will wear these temporary bridge(s) for a duration of 4 months to allow ample time for your implants to integrate with your bone and for your jaws and gums to heal, achieving a stable, long-term position. This healing period ensures the closest possible fit for your final bridge(s). Following this phase, we will commence the fabrication of your final bridge(s), involving several appointments over a 5-6 week span. Throughout this time, you'll actively participate in designing the smile you envision for your permanent teeth.
Mouth Impressions
These models serve as the basis for crafting your temporary implant bridge(s). A potential step in the process is a wax try-in – if a significant number of teeth in the targeted arch are missing, the doctor might recommend this. It involves creating a mock-up of your temporary implant bridge to assess factors like bite position and aesthetics.
Procedure
Extract any applicable teeth, install implants, and affix temporary implant bridge(s). The procedure generally spans a duration of 4-7 hours.

Try In
Between 5-10 days after impressions, we will assess a mock-up of your final teeth. In some instances, multiple wax try-ins may be necessary. It is crucial to ensure your complete satisfaction with the wax try-ins before proceeding, as once processed, alterations are not possible. If you decide to make changes to your approved and fabricated bridge(s) afterward, a full-cost remake charge will be applicable.
Seat Final Teeth
After you approve your wax try-in(s), it typically takes 4-6 weeks before your bridge or bridges are ready to seat.
