All-on-X Dental Implants Specialist in Downers Grove, IL

At AIRE Dental Group, we are proud to offer All-on-X dental implants—an advanced, effective solution for patients seeking to restore a full arch of missing teeth. The “X” in All-on-X represents the number of implants used, which typically ranges from four to six per jaw, and is personalized to each patient’s bone structure and unique needs by our experienced dental team.

Unlike traditional dentures that can shift or require adhesives, All-on-X implants provide a secure, permanent foundation for your new smile. Our skilled dentists precisely place titanium implants into your jawbone at strategic angles to maximize support and long-term stability. After the implants fuse with your bone through a process called osseointegration, a custom designed dental bridge or prosthesis is securely attached—restoring both the function and appearance of natural teeth.

• All-on-X dental implants offer several benefits:
• Improved chewing and speech compared to traditional dentures
• Enhanced comfort and confidence with a natural-looking, stable smile
• Easy maintenance—no need for adhesives or nightly removal
• Jawbone preservation, as the implants stimulate bone tissue and prevent bone loss

We use advanced imaging, meticulous planning, and a patient-centered approach to ensure optimal results and a smooth, comfortable experience.

We offer advanced solutions for replacing missing teeth, including both All-on-X implants and traditional dental implants. Understanding the differences between these options can help you make the best decision for your oral health and lifestyle.

Traditional dental implants are an excellent choice when replacing one or several missing teeth. Each implant is a titanium post that our skilled AIRE Dental Group surgeons place directly into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. Once healed, we attach a natural-looking crown, bridge, or denture to restore function and aesthetics. For patients missing multiple teeth, multiple implants may be necessary, which can mean more surgical appointments and a longer overall treatment plan.

All-on-X implants are an innovative solution for patients who need to replace an entire arch of teeth—either upper, lower, or both. Our All-on-X treatment uses four to six strategically placed implants per arch to support a full set of fixed teeth. This approach maximizes the use of existing bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafting—even for patients who have experienced bone loss.

The All-on-X procedure is typically less invasive and much quicker than traditional methods. Many of our patients receive a complete set of temporary teeth on the same day as their implant surgery, allowing for immediate restoration of function and appearance.

If you’re looking to replace a single tooth or just a few teeth, traditional dental implants may be your best option. However, if you need to restore a full arch of teeth and are seeking a faster, more streamlined solution, our All-on-X implants could be ideal.

We are dedicated to helping our patients achieve lasting confidence and oral health through advanced solutions like All-on-X dental implants. The ideal candidate for All-on-X dental implants is typically someone who has lost most or all of their teeth in one or both jaws and is seeking a stable, long-term alternative to traditional dentures.

Many of our patients come to us because they are dissatisfied with removable dentures due to discomfort, poor fit, or difficulty eating and speaking. All-on-X implants offer a secure, natural-feeling restoration that can dramatically improve quality of life.

Candidates should have adequate jawbone density to support the implants; however, the All-on-X technique is often suitable even for those with reduced bone volume, thanks to the strategic placement of implants at precise angles. Good overall health is important for optimal healing and implant success. Certain medical conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes or immune system disorders, may affect candidacy, which is why a comprehensive health evaluation is part of our process.

Non-smokers, or those willing to quit, are preferred candidates because tobacco use can interfere with healing and increase the risk of implant failure. Additionally, a commitment to excellent oral hygiene and regular dental visits is essential for the long-term success of your new smile.

The “X” in All-on-X refers to the number of implants (usually four, six, or eight) that support a full arch of beautiful, natural looking replacement teeth. While the implants themselves are designed for longevity, it’s important to remember that the attached prosthetic bridge may experience normal wear and tear over time. Typically, this bridge may need to be replaced every 10 to 15 years.

Several factors contribute to the lasting success of All-on-X implants. We emphasize the importance of excellent oral hygiene—including daily brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups—to keep your implants healthy and free from complications like peri-implantitis. Lifestyle choices, such as avoiding tobacco and refraining from chewing hard objects, are also key to protecting your investment.

Our experienced team is here to support you every step of the way, from your initial consultation to ongoing follow-ups. With attentive care and regular visits to our office, you can maximize the lifespan of your All-on-X dental implants and enjoy a confident, functional smile for years to come.
