Complete Smile Restoration
All-on-X is an advanced dental implant technique that replaces an entire arch of teeth using strategically placed titanium implants. Unlike traditional dentures that sit on your gums, All-on-X creates a permanent, fixed restoration that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. The “X” typically represents four to six implants per arch, though the exact number depends on your specific bone structure and treatment needs.
This revolutionary approach allows Ocean Ridge patients to receive a full set of replacement teeth in a single day. Dr. Goetz uses advanced 3D imaging and computer-guided planning to precisely position each implant for optimal stability and longevity. The immediate loading protocol means you leave our office with functional teeth, avoiding the months of healing time required with traditional implant methods.
The All-on-X system works particularly well for patients with significant bone loss who might not be candidates for individual implant placement. By angling the implants strategically, Dr. Goetz can often avoid the need for extensive bone grafting procedures, making treatment more comfortable and efficient for Ocean Ridge residents.
Specialized prosthodontic treatments to restore function and beauty with financing options for complex dental care.
Ocean Ridge’s active coastal lifestyle demands a tooth replacement solution that won’t hold you back from enjoying life’s pleasures. Traditional dentures can slip during conversation, limit food choices, and require messy adhesives. All-on-X eliminates these concerns by providing a rock-solid foundation that allows you to bite and chew with confidence.
Dr. Goetz’s specialized training in maxillofacial prosthodontics makes him uniquely qualified to handle complex cases that general dentists typically refer elsewhere.
His expertise extends beyond standard dental implants to encompass the intricate balance of facial support, jaw function, and esthetic harmony that defines successful full-mouth reconstruction. This level of specialization means Ocean Ridge patients receive treatment that addresses not just missing teeth, but overall facial health and appearance.
Our proximity to Ocean Ridge ensures convenient access to ongoing care and maintenance. The All-on-X system requires regular professional cleanings and checkups, and having your specialist nearby makes it easier to maintain your investment for decades to come.
The All-on-X process begins with comprehensive evaluation using advanced digital imaging technology. Dr. Goetz analyzes your bone density, jaw structure, and facial proportions to create a customized treatment plan. This detailed planning phase ensures optimal implant placement and immediate restoration fit.
On treatment day, any remaining teeth are removed (if necessary), and the titanium implants are placed in predetermined positions. The immediate-load protocol allows Dr. Goetz to attach your temporary restoration the same day, so you never leave without teeth. This temporary bridge provides immediate function while your implants integrate with surrounding bone tissue over the following months.
After complete healing, typically three to six months later, your final restoration is crafted and attached. This permanent bridge is made from high-strength materials designed to withstand normal chewing forces while maintaining natural appearance. The entire process is designed to minimize disruption to your Ocean Ridge lifestyle while delivering maximum long-term results.
All-on-X treatment offers numerous advantages over traditional dentures or individual implant placement. The fixed nature of the restoration means no slipping, clicking, or embarrassing moments during social interactions. Ocean Ridge residents can enjoy their favorite seafood restaurants without worry about loose dentures or dietary restrictions.
The preservation of facial structure represents another significant benefit. When teeth are lost, the underlying bone begins to deteriorate, leading to a sunken facial appearance over time. All-on-X implants stimulate bone tissue, maintaining facial support and preventing the premature aging associated with tooth loss. This is particularly important for Ocean Ridge’s image-conscious community.
From a practical standpoint, All-on-X simplifies oral hygiene compared to individual implants or removable dentures. The bridge design allows for easy cleaning with specialized brushes and water flossers, while the fixed nature eliminates the need for denture adhesives or overnight soaking solutions.
With proper care and regular maintenance at our Delray Beach office, All-on-X restorations typically last 15-20 years or longer. The titanium implants themselves can last a lifetime, while the prosthetic bridge may need replacement after many years of normal wear.
Most adults with missing teeth or failing dentures are candidates for All-on-X. Dr. Goetz evaluates factors including bone density, overall health, and lifestyle factors to determine suitability. Even patients with significant bone loss may be candidates due to the specialized techniques available through our prosthodontic practice.
All-on-X treatment costs vary based on individual needs, number of implants required, and complexity of your case. During your consultation, we provide detailed treatment estimates and discuss financing options to make this investment in your health and confidence accessible.
Most patients return to work within 2-3 days, though we recommend avoiding strenuous activities for the first week. You can eat soft foods immediately and gradually return to your normal diet as healing progresses over the first few weeks.
Dr. Goetz uses advanced anesthesia techniques and offers sedation options to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure. Most patients report that recovery is more comfortable than they anticipated, with manageable discomfort that resolves within a few days.
