If you’ve lost multiple teeth or are struggling with traditional dentures, you’re not alone. Tooth loss affects millions of Americans, and finding the right replacement option can dramatically improve your confidence, health, and quality of life. For decades, traditional dentures were the standard solution. But today, All-on-X dental implants (sometimes alternatively called All-on-4 dental implants) have become the superior alternative, offering a permanent, natural-looking, and life-changing smile.
What Are Traditional Dentures?
Traditional dentures (or what we call the “D word” around here at Anchored Dental Implants) are removable appliances that sit on top of your gums to replace missing teeth. They’re typically made of acrylic or resin and are held in place with adhesives, clasps, or suction. While dentures restore the appearance of missing teeth, they come with common drawbacks like slipping, clicking, and ongoing adjustments.
Dentures also do not stimulate the jawbone, which means bone loss continues over time, often leading to changes in facial shape and a “sunken” appearance.
What Are All-on-X Dental Implants?
“All-on-X” refers to the use of four or more dental implants to permanently anchor a full arch of prosthetic teeth customizable teeth made from zirconia. (Better yet? They come with a lifetime guarantee!) These implants fuse with the jawbone, creating a stable foundation for your new smile.
Unlike removable dentures, All-on-X implants stay fixed in place. They look, feel, and function more like natural teeth without the hassle of adhesives or the fear of slipping.
The Problems with Traditional Dentures
While dentures remain a budget-friendly option, they often create long-term issues such as:
- Dentures that slip or shift while talking and eating.
- Sore spots and gum irritation caused by friction.
- Limited bite strength, making many foods difficult or impossible to chew.
- Bone loss in the jaw, which changes facial structure and fit over time.
- Frequent adjustments, relines, and eventual replacements.
These challenges leave many denture wearers frustrated and searching for a better solution.
The Benefits of All-on-X Dental Implants
All-on-X implants were designed to address the problems denture wearers face. Here’s why they are considered the better choice:
- Permanent Stability
Implants are secured into the jawbone, so your prosthetic teeth won’t slip or move. You can eat, laugh, and speak without worrying about dentures coming loose.
- Natural Comfort
Because the prosthetic is supported by implants rather than resting on the gums, there’s no irritation, pressure, or rubbing. All-on-X feels more like natural teeth.
- Bone Preservation
Implants stimulate the jawbone just like natural tooth roots, preventing bone loss and helping to maintain a youthful facial structure.
- Improved Chewing and Speech
With strong, stable support, patients regain the ability to enjoy a wider range of foods and speak clearly without slurring or lisping.
- Long-Term Value
Although the upfront investment is higher, All-on-X implants can last decades with proper care. They eliminate the need for constant refits, adhesives, and frequent replacements that come with dentures. And at Anchored Dental Implant Studio, we offer a lifetime guarantee, unlike other implant studios.
- Confidence and Appearance
Implant-supported prosthetics are carefully designed to look natural. They restore a confident smile that feels permanent, not like something removable. It’s your smile, designed by you for the ultimate confidence boost!
Who Is a Candidate for All-on-X Implants?
Most people missing multiple teeth are candidates for All-on-X. We’re proud to work with Dr. Henley, who has trained domestically and internationally in specialized implants, so even if other providers have told you that you don’t have enough bone, there’s a greater-than-not chance that Anchored Dental Implants can do it! Our ideal candidates are those who:
- Have lost most or all teeth in one or both arches.
- Want a fixed, long-lasting solution instead of removable dentures.
- Again, even if you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone, our team can still do it!
- Are in good health and able to maintain oral hygiene.
A consultation with our team at Anchored Dental Implants can confirm if this solution is right for you.
Why Patients Choose All-on-X Over Dentures
At the end of the day, the difference comes down to quality of life. Dentures restore a smile but bring limitations — restricted diets, slipping teeth, and facial changes over time. All-on-X offers a long-term, natural-feeling solution that allows patients to eat freely, speak clearly, and smile with confidence
Many patients describe All-on-X as “getting their real teeth back.” The stability, comfort, and appearance simply cannot be matched by traditional dentures.
