Hybrid or All-on-X implant therapy is a full-arch fixed tooth replacement solution designed for all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. This approach uses a fixed prosthesis—commonly referred to as a “hybrid denture”—that is permanently secured in place using a set number of dental implants, typically four to six (“All-on-4,” “All-on-6,” etc.).
Unlike traditional removable dentures, a hybrid prosthesis is anchored to the jawbone, providing excellent stability, function, and esthetics. The result is a natural-looking smile with restored biting and chewing ability, often improving overall quality of life.
Benefits of All-on-X therapy include:
- Fewer implants needed compared to replacing each tooth individually
- Immediate fixed temporary bridge placed on the day of surgery (“teeth in a day”)
- No movement or slippage like traditional dentures. No worrying about your teeth falling out while talking
- Less surgeryThis treatment is customized to each patient and may involve extractions, bone grafting, or other preparatory procedures. The prosthesis is designed to be long lasting and not removable, but it is removable by the dentist for maintenance.
All-on-X is a predictable, long-term solution for patients seeking a secure, full-arch tooth replacement—and it can often be completed more efficiently and comfortably than traditional methods.
