Missing or failing teeth can change how you chew, speak, and smile. At Blue Dental on the Upper East Side, our prosthodontist-led team plans and delivers All-on-X full-arch implants that look natural, feel stable, and restore confident function—often with same-day fixed teeth when stability criteria are met.

Why Choose Us for All-on-X

• Prosthodontic expertise: Precision planning of bite, smile line, and long-term function.
• CBCT-guided surgery: Digital design, surgical guides, and facial scans for accuracy and safety.
• Team-based care: Close coordination with trusted surgeons and labs for predictable outcomes.
• Clear process & pricing: Transparent estimates, phased options, and insurance-friendly support.

What Is All-on-X?

All-on-X is a fixed full-arch bridge supported by 4–6 dental implants (the “X”). It replaces all teeth in one jaw (upper or lower). Most patients receive a non-removable provisional bridge on surgery day, followed by a durable, highly esthetic final bridge after healing.

Who Is a Candidate?

• Multiple failing teeth, advanced gum disease, or extensive wear/decay
• Loose or uncomfortable dentures—desire a fixed solution
• Prior bone loss (graftless, angulated approaches may be possible)
• Good general health and commitment to cleanings and home care

Treatment Options We Offer

• All-on-4 / All-on-5 / All-on-6 customized to bone quality and bite forces
• Immediate-load (“same-day teeth”) when primary stability is achieved
• Graftless strategies (tilted posterior implants) or targeted bone/soft-tissue grafts when indicated
• Final bridge materials: high-strength monolithic zirconia, nano-ceramic on titanium, or hybrid options

Materials & Esthetics

• Provisional: Lightweight PMMA or reinforced hybrid for healing and esthetic try-in
• Final:
• Zirconia for strength, polishability, and lifelike translucency
• Nano-ceramic / hybrid for shock absorption and repairability
• Titanium reinforcement where added rigidity is preferred
  We tailor tooth shape, shade, and gum contours to your lips and face.

The Treatment Process

1. Consultation & Records – Exam, CBCT, photos, and bite/esthetic analysis; review timelines and fees.
2. Smile Design & Try-In – Digital scan and mock-up to preview tooth length, phonetics, and support.
3. Guided Surgery – Extractions (if needed) → implants placed with guides → fixed provisional bridge delivered if stability criteria are met.
4. Healing (3–6 Months) – Tissue shaping, bite checks, hygiene coaching; adjustments as you adapt.
5. Definitive Bridge – Precision records and delivery of the final, long-term bridge; maintenance plan.

Comfort, Recovery & Longevity

• Most patients experience 2–4 days of swelling/bruising and resume light routines quickly.
• Soft diet during healing; meticulous but gentle cleaning under the bridge.
• With professional cleanings and bite protection (nightguard if indicated), results can last for many years.

Cost & Insurance

Fees depend on extractions, grafting needs, number of implants, and final materials. We’re insurance-friendly: our team checks benefits, provides clear, itemized estimates, and files claims on your behalf. Flexible payment options are available.

All-on-X vs. Dentures (At a Glance)

• All-on-X: Fixed, slim profile; preserves bone better; strong bite; no adhesive.
• Dentures: Removable, may feel bulky; lower bite force; potential sore spots and movement.
  We’ll compare both for your case—including timelines, costs, and maintenance.

FAQs

Will I have teeth the same day?
Often yes. If implants achieve stability, we deliver a fixed provisional at surgery. Final bridge follows after healing.

Do I need bone grafts?
Not always. Angulated posterior implants can avoid sinus or ridge grafts; when needed, we plan targeted grafting for esthetics and longevity.

How do I clean under the bridge?
Brush twice daily; use a water flosser and superfloss/under-bridge brushes. Our hygienists show you exactly how.

What if I clench or grind?
We’ll discuss nightguard protection and bite design to safeguard your bridge and implants.
