When many or all teeth in an arch are failing or missing, an implant-supported full-arch restoration may offer a more stable alternative to a traditional removable denture. At Holladay Smiles, Dr. Michael T. Smith uses detailed imaging and computer-guided planning to evaluate each patient’s anatomy, health and priorities before recommending treatment.
A personalized approach to full-arch care
All-on-X is not one fixed procedure. The “X” reflects that the number of implants and their positions are selected for the individual patient. Those implants support a custom full-arch restoration designed to restore appearance and everyday function. A consultation is the starting point for understanding whether implant-supported treatment, a conventional denture or another restorative option best fits your situation.
What to expect during planning
Your evaluation may include a clinical exam, a review of your health history and 3D imaging of your jaw. Dr. Smith will assess bone support, gum health, bite relationships and any teeth that may remain. Our team will explain the proposed sequence, alternatives, estimated timeline and financial considerations before you decide how to proceed.
Comfort and technology throughout treatment
Patients who feel anxious can discuss comfort options, including IV sedation when appropriate. Computer-guided implant planning and our in-house dental technology help the clinical and restorative phases work together with close attention to fit, function and appearance. Every case is different, so specific recommendations are made only after an in-person evaluation.
All-on-X treatment costs and financing
Cost depends on the number of implants, any preparatory care, the materials selected and the complexity of the restoration. Holladay Smiles works with most PPO insurance plans and offers financing resources including CareCredit and Mountain America Credit Union. Our team can provide a personalized estimate after your treatment plan is complete.
