Dental implants have revolutionized modern dentistry, providing a long-lasting and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. The All-on-X system takes this innovation further by replacing an entire arch of teeth with just four to six implants, often in a single procedure. Patients can often receive their implants immediately after tooth extraction, ensuring they never go without teeth.Â
Dr. Rod Strober, an experienced implant and cosmetic dentist, has nearly 30 years of expertise in restorative dentistry. After earning his degree from The State University of New York at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine in 1993, he achieved Mastership status from the International Dental Implant Association. At Country Club Dentistry in Rancho Mirage, Dr. Strober specializes in the All-on-X system, providing advanced, patient-centered care.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer a permanent and reliable way to replace missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. This modern alternative to dentures offers greater comfort, strength, and long-term oral health benefits.
Each implant consists of a titanium post that fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration. This fusion ensures long-term stability and helps prevent bone loss, a common problem associated with missing teeth. Depending on the patient's needs, dental implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch.
The All-on-X System
The All-on-X system is a revolutionary approach to full-arch tooth replacement. Instead of replacing teeth one by one, the All-on-X technique maximizes support by placing four to six implants to hold an entire arch of fixed, natural-looking teeth.
This method provides a secure and natural-looking alternative to removable dentures. The All-on-X system is designed to maximize existing bone support, reducing or eliminating the need for bone grafting in many cases. Patients can enjoy a quicker treatment timeline, a more comfortable fit, and a fully restored smile with long-term durability.
Who Is a Good Candidate for All-on-X Dental Implants?
All-on-X dental implants are an excellent option for patients who:
- Are missing most or all of their teeth in one or both arches
- Struggle with loose or uncomfortable dentures
- Want a permanent, non-removable solution for tooth loss
- Have adequate jawbone density or are willing to undergo bone grafting if needed
- Desire a more natural-looking and functional smile

Benefits of All-on-x
The All-on-x implant system uses a single restoration (what we call a dental bridge or a denture) anchored by four dental implants to replace all the teeth in a single arch (your top or bottom teeth). This approach is becoming the most popular way to replace a full set of teeth because it offers these benefits:
- Replace all your teeth in one day
- Attractive, natural appearance
- Functional biting and chewing
- Replacement teeth don't slip or fall out
- Less expensive than other options
- No need for a bone graft (in most cases)
- Great long-term survival
The All-on-x implant system is designed to replace all your teeth in one procedure. That means you can replace all your teeth at once, even if you have natural teeth that need to be extracted. Not only do you get the dental implants placed, but for most people, you can also get the replacement teeth placed on the implants that same day.
These replacement teeth look attractive and natural. People will likely only notice that you have an attractive smile–few will suspect they're replacements! And your replacement teeth function just like natural teeth. They might be a little tender right after surgery, but soon, you will be able to eat all your favorite foods. And you won't have to worry that they will slip or fall out.
But despite all their benefits, All-on-x is less expensive than other treatment options. That's because they only require four implants per arch, and most people don't need a bone graft with this solution.
Studies show that All-on-x dental implants have the same high success rate as other dental implants. Plus, 98% of the restorations (bridges or dentures) last 10 years or more.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Get All-on-x In Just One Arch?
Yes! All-on-x dental implants can work opposite natural teeth or traditional dentures. You can convert the other arch at a later date if you like.
Replacement Teeth the Same Day?
Most people get provisional replacements that attach to the implants on the day of surgery. However, in some unusual cases, you might get a healing denture instead and an implant denture later.
How Does All-on-x Work?
All-on-x is a carefully designed system based on decades of dental implant technology. It takes advantage of the areas where the jaw has the longest bone density, including after losing your natural teeth. In addition, two of the implants that support the most chewing force are angled so they get the most bone support. Because the system takes maximum advantage of your bone, people rarely need bone grafts with this system.
With the implants sharing the burden, none of them gets too stressed. Instead, the force of biting and chewing stimulates bone to grow around the implants, speeding healing and helping to secure the system.
The provisional bridge installed on the day of surgery also helps. It gives good function but protects the implants against overstress. Once healing is complete, a permanent bridge can be used. It can be designed to be fixed or removable, and it can be acrylic (plastic) or zirconia (ceramic).
