What are All-on-X Dental Implants?
Typically, between four and six dental implants are placed into the mouth, onto which a prosthetic set of teeth are anchored. If you need full dentures or have experienced tooth loss, All-on-X dental implants are a revolutionary treatment. As well as looking natural, these implants have all the function of natural teeth. As permanent, fixed implants, you can treat them as natural teeth and clean them as normal too.
Benefits of All-on-X Dental Implants
Easy Installation – With the modern All-on-X technique, installation is much easier and less intensive for patients. In most cases, the implants are installed during a single session, and your set of prosthetic teeth are then anchored once the implants are in place.
Long-Lasting, Durable Solution – If you seek a solution that will last the test of time, it doesn’t get much better than the All-on-X technique. You can enjoy most of the foods you once loved. Over time, you’ll simply forget that you have prosthetic teeth because they look and feel so good.
Natural Feel and Function – It’s normal to want a dental solution that looks, feels, and functions like a normal set of teeth, and this is what you’ll have with All-on-X dental implants in OKC. No adhesives, and no worrying about taking them out to clean in the evenings.
Enjoy a Normal Life – Perhaps above all else, All-on-X implants allow you to lead a normal life, as if you still had a full set of natural teeth. So long as you follow the care instructions, the surgery to get your All-on-X implants will be a distant memory. You’ll soon enjoy eating all your favorite foods and drinks again.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
We can’t provide a single answer to this question because it depends on the tailored treatment plan you have in place. For example, some people may need extractions or certain other steps to prepare for the All-on-X technique. However, Reflections Dental Care doesn’t charge differently if you need X implants compared to All-on-4 implants. Don’t worry, we’ll talk you through what you can expect in terms of cost and the treatment plan.
No, sensitivity comes from the ligaments and nerves, so you won’t experience sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures with implants. This being said, the implants won’t impact the reaction of your gums, tongue, cheeks, and other areas of the mouth.
No, we generally rely on our tongue to taste food and drink, and the materials used for the composition of teeth are tasteless. Therefore, you’ll enjoy (and disklike!) all the same flavors after All-on-X dental implants in OKC. If you are currently wearing a denture that covers the roof of your mouth, then an All-on-X solution will actually improve your taste because the All-on-X implant prosthesis does not cover the roof of your mouth, where some of your taste comes from.
One of the great benefits of All-on-X implants is that they look natural, so people won’t notice that you have them. Instead, most people will likely compliment your bright smile, since you’ll look forward to showing your teeth off again. While you will need to adjust to speaking with All-on-X implants, you won’t notice a major difference in your speech; many patients report an improvement in speech overall because they are not stiffening their lips during speech to hide their teeth.
We offer IV sedation and general anesthesia for patients that want to sleep through their treatment. If there’s anything we can do to make your experience less stressful, don’t be afraid to let us know. Some cases do not require sedation, and therefore you’ll be gently and profoundly numbed with local anesthetic, where you’re more likely to experience pressure rather than pain during the All-on-X procedure.
If you do feel pain, you’re always in control - just let us know so we can get you more comfortable. Once the treatment is done, we can arrange medication to reduce inflammation and discomfort. Very few patients report the experience of pain when recovering from dental implant placements.
During the first few days, you’ll need to follow the advice of our dental professionals; we’ll tell you how to carefully look after your new teeth. Once you’re through this initial phase, you’ll look after your teeth just as you would natural teeth. For example, regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleaning.
If you’re willing to look after your new teeth as you would natural teeth, your implants can last a lifetime. All-on-X implants are designed to be fixed, permanent solutions to missing or failing teeth. Just be sure to brush, floss, and attend your regular dentist appointments, and you’ll reap the rewards. The good news is that we also offer a lifetime warranty on All-on-X implants at Reflections Dental Care.
Absolutely! Sadly, poor dental hygiene is linked to a range of health problems. Our mouths need healthy teeth to break down food properly. By removing failing teeth and introducing implants, you can help your body be more resilient to health problems once again. There is also a mental health benefit to having confidence in your smile, speech, and function.
