Restore Your Smile With All-on-X Dental Implants in Hickory
All-on-X dental implants offer a fixed, non-removable, long-term alternative to traditional dentures. With this method, the dentist places a full arch of teeth using a minimum of five or six implants per jaw. This advanced technique gives patients a secure, stable, and natural-looking smile without needing individual dental implants for every missing tooth.
Unlike removable dentures, All-on-X implants stay firmly in place. Patients can eat, speak, and smile with confidence. The dentist strategically places each implant in areas of strongest bone density, which often reduces or eliminates the need for bone grafting.
Life-Changing Benefits of All-on-X Dental Implants
All-on-X dental implants offer more than a secure fit—they restore your smile and improve your chewing ability. This full-arch solution delivers lasting results that look and feel natural, while supporting long-term oral function and wellness.
Appearance and Confidence Benefits
Many patients choose All-on-X for its powerful boost to their appearance and self-esteem. With a custom-designed prosthetic arch, you can enjoy:
- A full, natural-looking smile
- Enhanced facial structure and support
- A younger, more refreshed appearance
- A confident smile without removable conventional dentures
Oral Health and Comfort Benefits
Beyond aesthetics, all-on-X implants protect your oral health and improve daily function. Patients often notice immediate improvements in comfort and long-term dental stability, including:
- Stronger bite support for eating a wider variety of foods
- Better speech without the movement of traditional dentures
- Typically only one surgical appointment
- Less need for bone grafting due to strategic implant placement
- Long-term preservation of jawbone health and structure
A Personalized Treatment Process
We begin every treatment plan with a detailed consultation. During this visit, Dr. Fish will evaluate your oral health, review digital imaging, and discuss your goals. He will help you understand what to expect and will recommend your best solution.
Once the plan is in place, the doctor surgically places the implants with precision and care. We offer sedation dentistry for patients who feel nervous about the procedure to ensure a calm, stress-free experience. At the end of the first surgical visit, you will typically leave with a full arch of non-removable temporary teeth. Later, Dr. Fish will develop your custom prosthetic teeth that will be securely attached to the implants. Throughout the process, our staff offers guidance, support, and education so you feel confident at every stage.
Patients appreciate how streamlined the process feels, from the initial consultation to final placement. With your all-on-X implants, the doctor can also recommend cosmetic dentistry options to enhance your results further. Treatments like teeth whitening or gum contouring can refine your final look and help you feel your absolute best.
Who Qualifies for All-on-X Dental Implants?
Many adults with missing or failing teeth qualify for this treatment, even if they’ve been told they don’t have enough bone for traditional implants. The dentist evaluates each case carefully, considering factors such as:
- Overall health and medical history
- Gum condition
- Bone quality and density
- Smoking habits
If you don’t qualify immediately, Dr. Fish may recommend options to help you prepare. We aim to help you achieve a healthy, long-lasting smile with the fewest obstacles possible.
