All-on-X Dental Implants
What Are All-on-X Dental Implants?
All-on-X dental implants are an innovative solution for patients who need a full arch of teeth replaced. At Alfonso Dental Miami, we specialize in this advanced procedure, which involves placing a series of implants that support an entire arch of prosthetic teeth. Located in the Flagler Street area of Miami, FL, our practice offers All-on-X implants as a more stable and permanent alternative to traditional dentures. This procedure is ideal for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth and are looking for a fixed solution that restores both function and aesthetics.
Why Consider All-on-X Dental Implants?
All-on-X dental implants provide several benefits over conventional dentures. The implants are securely anchored in the jawbone, offering a stable foundation that prevents the shifting and discomfort often associated with dentures. This stability allows you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Additionally, the implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs with missing teeth. The result is a more natural look and feel, as well as improved oral health. For many patients, All-on-X implants are a life-changing procedure that restores their ability to enjoy life without the limitations of removable dentures.
The Procedure and Recovery Process
The All-on-X procedure involves the placement of four to six dental implants into the jawbone, which then support a full arch of replacement teeth. Dr. Jossue Alfonso uses advanced imaging technology to plan the precise placement of each implant, ensuring optimal results. After the implants are placed, a temporary set of teeth is attached, allowing you to leave our office with a functional smile the same day. Over the next few months, the implants will fuse with the bone, after which the final prosthetic teeth will be attached. Recovery involves following specific aftercare instructions to ensure the implants heal properly and integrate with the jawbone.
