When age, tooth decay, or injury has left you with a full arch of missing or failing teeth, removable dentures are not always the answer. For many people in Seattle, especially adults over 55 who have dealt with slipping, clicking, or uncomfortable dentures, a more permanent solution is available. All-on-X implants use a small number of strategically placed titanium posts to anchor a fixed, full-arch prosthesis directly to your jawbone, giving you teeth you never have to take out.
At Seattle Smiles Company, our team combines advanced 3D imaging technology with surgical precision focused on dental implants and full-arch reconstruction. From your free consultation through same-day temporary teeth and your final permanent restoration, we make the process as clear, comfortable, and accessible as possible. We offer flexible monthly payment options, multiple financing plans, sedation dentistry, and a competitive in-house financing option designed to help you afford the treatment you need.
How All-on-X Implants Work
All-on-X is a full-arch implant treatment that uses four to six titanium implants placed at precise angles within your jaw to support a complete set of replacement teeth. The “X” refers to the number of implants your dentist determines is right for your bone density and oral anatomy. Rather than replacing each missing tooth with its own implant, the All-on-X technique anchors an entire upper or lower arch to just a few strategically positioned posts. Unlike removable dentures, which rest on your gum tissue and shift during eating or speaking, All-on-X implants attach permanently to the implant posts. Your new teeth do not come out, and you do not need adhesives, soaking solutions, or nightly removal.
Who Is a Good Candidate for All-on-X Implants
Most adults with a full arch of missing, failing, or severely damaged teeth are potential candidates for All-on-X treatment. The most important factor is having adequate bone density to support the implant posts, though the angled placement technique can often work with available bone and reduce the need for extensive bone grafting. We offer free 3D CT evaluations and complimentary consultations so you can understand your options without any financial pressure.
Good candidates for All-on-X treatment typically include people who share several characteristics.
- Multiple missing teeth: a full arch of teeth that cannot be saved or restored through other methods
- Sufficient jawbone density: enough bone to support implant placement, or willingness to pursue grafting if needed
- Good overall health: manageable conditions such as well-controlled diabetes
- Non-smokers: or patients committed to quitting before and during treatment
- Denture frustration: adults who are tired of the limitations of removable dentures and want a fixed, long-term alternative
The only way to know for certain whether All-on-X is right for you is through a comprehensive evaluation using our digital scanning technology and 3D CT imaging.

The All-on-X Treatment Process
Your treatment begins with detailed planning. We use 3D CT imaging to capture a full picture of your jaw structure, bone volume, and oral anatomy. Digital scans allow us to map out precise implant positions before a single incision is made, which means more predictable outcomes and less time in the chair.
Surgery Day and Same-Day Teeth
On the day of surgery, we perform the procedure under IV sedation or general anesthesia so you remain comfortable and relaxed throughout. Our team places the implants at carefully calculated angles to maximize contact with available bone. Abutments are attached to the implant posts, and temporary replacement teeth are secured that same day. Many patients walk out of our downtown Seattle office with a full, functional set of teeth the same day as surgery.
Healing and Final Restoration
Over the following months, a natural biological process called osseointegration takes place as the titanium implants fuse with your surrounding bone tissue. This creates a stable, permanent foundation. Once healing is complete, we replace the temporary prosthesis with your final, custom-designed full-arch restoration, crafted to match the shape, size, and appearance of natural teeth.
Benefits of Choosing All-on-X Implants
All-on-X implants go beyond restoring your smile. Because the implants are anchored in your jawbone, they stimulate the bone the way natural tooth roots do, helping prevent the bone loss that causes the sunken facial appearance common in long-term denture wearers. Your facial structure stays supported, and your jaw stays healthier over time. Day to day, you can eat the foods you have been avoiding, speak clearly without worrying about slippage, and smile without self-consciousness. You care for your new teeth the same way you would natural teeth, with no adhesives, no soaking, and no overnight removal.

Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-X Implants
How long do All-on-X implants last?
With proper care and regular dental checkups, All-on-X implants can last many years and often a lifetime. The titanium posts fuse permanently with your jawbone through osseointegration, creating a stable foundation. The prosthetic teeth on top may need replacement or adjustment over time due to normal wear, but the implants themselves are designed for long-term durability.
Is the All-on-X procedure painful?
Most patients report little to no pain during the procedure because it is performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia. After surgery, mild swelling and discomfort are common for a few days and can typically be managed with prescribed medication. Many patients say the recovery is much easier than they expected.
Can I get All-on-X implants if I have bone loss?
Yes, in many cases. One of the advantages of the All-on-X technique is the angled placement of implants, which allows your dentist to use the available bone more efficiently. This can reduce or eliminate the need for bone grafting. During your free 3D CT evaluation, we will determine whether your bone density can support All-on-X treatment or if additional steps are needed.
How much do All-on-X implants cost?
The cost of All-on-X implants varies depending on factors such as your oral health, the number of implants needed, and the materials used for your final restoration. During your free consultation, we will provide a detailed treatment estimate. We accept some PPO insurance plans and offer multiple financing options, including Sunbit, Alphaeon Credit, Proceed Finance, Scratch Pay, CareCredit, and a competitive in-house financing plan with affordable monthly payments.
What is the difference between All-on-X and traditional dentures?
Traditional dentures rest on your gum tissue and rely on suction or adhesive to stay in place. They can slip, limit what you eat, and require nightly removal. All-on-X implants are permanently fixed to titanium posts anchored in your jawbone, so they do not move, do not come out, and allow you to eat, speak, and smile naturally. All-on-X implants also help preserve your jawbone, while traditional dentures can accelerate bone loss over time.
How soon can I eat normally after All-on-X surgery?
You will receive temporary teeth the same day as your surgery, so you can eat soft foods right away. As healing progresses over the following weeks, you can gradually return to a more varied diet. Once your final restoration is placed after full healing, you can enjoy most foods without restriction, including many foods that dentures make difficult.
