Experiencing a Dental Emergency in Monument, CO?
What Are All-on-X Dental Implants?
Living with loose Dentures or a mouth full of failing teeth affects everything. Eating becomes stressful, speaking feels uncertain, and you start avoiding situations that used to be second nature. All-on-X Dental Implants solve this by anchoring a complete arch of fixed teeth onto just four to six implants placed at precise angles in your jawbone.
The "X" refers to the number of implants your dentist uses, which depends on your bone density and anatomy. Because the posts are angled to grip the thickest areas of bone, most patients qualify without needing a separate bone graft first. You walk in with teeth that shift and slip. You leave with a fixed set that stays put, bites hard, and feels like your own.
Benefits of All-on-X Dental Implants
All-on-X Dental Implants replace an entire arch of teeth with a fixed, permanent set that looks and functions like the real thing.
Severe toothache
A sudden toothache can make it hard to eat, sleep, or focus. It’s often caused by decay, infection, or gum irritation. We find what’s causing the pain and treat it quickly to help you feel comfortable again.
Knocked-out tooth
If your tooth gets knocked out, time is critical. Keeping it moist and getting to our office right away can help save it. Our team acts fast to reattach your tooth and protect your smile from long-term damage.
Broken & cracked tooth
A broken tooth can be painful and sensitive to temperature. If left untreated, it can lead to infection or further damage. We repair the tooth using strong materials that restore comfort and natural function.
Lost fillings or crowns
When a filling or crown comes loose, the tooth underneath is left unprotected and sensitive. We’ll clean the area and replace your restoration to seal and strengthen the tooth, keeping your smile pain-free.
Dental abscesses
A dental abscess is a serious infection that causes swelling and throbbing pain. It needs prompt care. We drain the infection, clean the area, and treat the cause to prevent it from spreading to other parts of your mouth.
Soft tissue injuries
Cuts or injuries to your gums, tongue, or lips can bleed and feel sore. We gently clean and treat the wound, stop the bleeding, and make sure there’s no hidden damage so you can heal comfortably and quickly.
Eat Whatever You Want Again
Steak, apples, corn on the cob. All-on-X teeth anchor directly into your jawbone and stay locked in place while you chew. No slipping, no clicking, and no more soft-food-only restrictions.
Your Jawbone Stays Strong
When teeth are missing, the jawbone slowly shrinks and your face changes shape. Implant posts work like tooth roots, sending signals that keep the bone dense and healthy for years after placement.
No Soaking Trays or Adhesive
Unlike removable Dentures, All-on-X teeth are fixed in place permanently. You brush them like natural teeth, skip the messy adhesive creams, and never have to set them on a nightstand overnight.
Is All-on-X Right for You?

If you've been living with loose Dentures that slip when you eat or talk, All-on-X Dental Implants can change your daily experience. Adults who have lost most or all of their teeth on one arch, or who face Tooth Extractions for teeth too damaged to save, are often strong candidates. The same goes for people dealing with advanced Gum Disease that has weakened multiple teeth beyond repair.
You don't need perfect bone density to qualify. Your dentist at Advanced Dental & Implant Center in Monument, CO can often place implants at strategic angles that work with the bone you already have. Younger adults and older patients alike respond well to this approach, and most people are surprised by how quickly they return to eating solid food after treatment.
Advanced All-on-X Dental Implants Technology
Planning starts with a cone beam CT scan, a 3D X-ray that maps your jawbone in slices thinner than a millimeter. Your dentist at Advanced Dental & Implant Center uses that scan to plot each implant angle and depth on screen before touching a drill. This digital surgical guide then transfers the plan to your mouth, so placement matches the model almost exactly.
The prosthetic arch itself has changed dramatically too. Earlier versions used bulky acrylic over a metal bar. Current arches use layered zirconia, a ceramic so dense it resists chipping better than natural enamel. The result is a thinner, lighter arch that looks realistic and holds up to years of daily use without the flex or staining older materials were known for.
What to Expect During Your Visit
All-on-X Dental Implants start with a thorough exam and 3D imaging so your dentist can map exactly where each implant will go. On surgery day, the team places four to six titanium posts into your jawbone while you stay comfortable under sedation. A temporary set of teeth is attached that same visit, so you leave with a full smile. The whole process typically takes a few hours.
Expect some swelling and tenderness for the first week, manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and soft foods. Most patients feel noticeably better within five to seven days. Over the next several months, the posts fuse with your bone. Once healing is complete, your dentist fits the final permanent teeth.
Before Appointment
Arrange a ride home before your appointment, since All-on-X procedures involve sedation and you won't be safe to drive.
Skip blood-thinning supplements like fish oil or vitamin E for at least a week prior, unless your doctor says otherwise.
Eat a soft, protein-rich meal two hours before arrival so you have energy for a longer procedure without a full stomach.
After Appointment
Stick to cool liquids and soft foods like smoothies, mashed potatoes, and broth for the first week while your implant sites heal.
Rinse gently with the prescribed antimicrobial mouthwash twice daily, but skip brushing directly over the surgical sites for 10 to 14 days.
Hold off on exercise, heavy lifting, and bending over for at least five days to keep swelling down around the implant posts.
Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve answered the most frequently asked questions to help you feel informed, prepared, and confident before your appointment.
How long do All-on-X Dental Implants typically last?
Most patients keep their All-on-X Dental Implants for 20 years or longer. The titanium posts fuse permanently with your jawbone, and the prosthetic arch can be replaced if it ever wears down without disturbing the implants underneath.
Can I eat steak and crunchy foods with All-on-X Dental Implants?
Yes. Once you've fully healed, usually within three to six months, you can bite into apples, chew steak, and eat raw vegetables. The fixed arch is anchored to your jawbone, so it functions much closer to natural teeth than removable Dentures.
Am I too old to get All-on-X Dental Implants?
Age alone is not a disqualifier. Your dentist evaluates bone density, overall health, and any medications you take. Many patients in their 70s and 80s are good candidates, especially because the procedure uses fewer implants and often avoids the need for bone grafting.
How do All-on-X Dental Implants compare to traditional Dental Bridges?
Dental Bridges replace a few teeth by anchoring to neighboring ones. All-on-X Dental Implants replace an entire arch on four to six implant posts without relying on surrounding teeth. They also stimulate the jawbone, which helps prevent the bone loss that follows Tooth Extractions.
How often do I need checkups after getting All-on-X Dental Implants?
Plan on visits every six months for the first year, then at least once a year after that. Your dentist checks implant stability, gum tissue health, and the condition of the prosthetic. Professional cleanings around the implant posts help keep everything healthy long term.
