All-on-X Full-Arch Implants in Vista, CA

A fixed, full set of teeth anchored on four or more implants, attached the same day your implants go in for patients who qualify.

All-on-4 and Beyond

A Full Arch of Teeth That Stays In

All-on-X replaces a full arch of teeth, upper, lower or both, with a fixed set of teeth secured on a minimum of four implants. All-on-4 uses four; All-on-X covers four or more. It stays in all the time.

Dr. Coleman and Dr. Rice have 20+ years of experience with All-on-4 implants, and implants are placed and restored here, in our Vista office.

All-on-X isn’t the only way to replace a full arch, and it isn’t the right one for everyone. The other option is set out side by side further down this page.

Where Patients Start

When a Full Arch of Teeth Needs Replacing

Your consultation is where we find out whether All-on-X fits, or whether another option is the better answer.
Same Day or Staged

Teeth in a Day or a Staged Treatment Plan

At your consultation, we walk you through the stages, likely timing, care and limitations of each approach.

Teeth in a Day

With precise planning and enough jawbone, your implants are placed and a full set of teeth is attached on the same day. Our practice has called it Smile in a Day for years.

A Staged Plan

Conventional implant treatment can take several months from start to finish. When your gums or bone need preparation first, the plan takes those steps in order.

Two Ways to Replace a Full Arch

All-on-X and Snap-In Dentures, Side by Side

All-on-X isn’t the only option for a full arch of replacement teeth. Patients often come in knowing about All-on-X and learn about snap-in dentures later. Both are held by implants, and they look and feel about the same. This is how they differ.

Stays In or Comes Out

All-on-X stays in all the time. A snap-in denture snaps onto its implants and comes out for cleaning.

Repairs

All-on-X is essentially one piece, so if it chips or an implant has a problem later, often the whole thing has to be redone. A snap-in denture is easily repaired, and if one implant has an issue, you keep wearing the denture on the others while it’s fixed.

Upkeep and Cost

A snap-in denture costs less and gives you more flexibility in maintenance.

Many patients who weigh the two choose the snap-in denture. At your consultation, we’ll go through both with you.

What to Expect

All-on-X Starts With a Plan Built on 3D Imaging

1

Consultation and Planning

3D CBCT imaging and a digital scan show how much bone is available and where each implant can go. We also look at your gums and your overall health. Gum disease, severe bone loss, pregnancy, heavy smoking or other health concerns can change the plan, and some patients with severe osteoporosis may not qualify.
2

Surgery Day

The area is numbed, and sedation is available, from nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation to IV sedation with an anesthesiologist. If you’re nervous about surgery, tell us when you schedule so we can plan the visit around it. The implants are placed and, for patients who qualify, a full set of teeth is attached the same day.
3

Healing and Eating

The implants need to integrate with your jawbone. Once they do, you can get back to foods you gave up with traditional dentures.
