If All-on-X Dental Costs Feel Burdensome

Lee Jang-wook, Chief Director

Hello.

A place that does its best

for a healthy smile

This is Etoile de Seoul Dental Clinic.

Many people seem to hesitate because of the cost when considering All-on-X treatment. There are likely many who are thinking, "I want to get treatment, but the cost is too much," or "Is there another option?"

We prepared this post to help those who have these concerns. Today, we will talk about information on All-on-X and ways to reduce the financial burden.

We take care of your dental health.

What is All-on-X?

All-on-X is a term meaning full-arch implants,

a treatment method that restores the entire upper or lower jaw

with only 4 to 6 implants.

Unlike conventional implants, where one implant is placed

for each tooth, All-on-X dental treatment is a

treatment method that can restore the entire set of teeth.

The key to this treatment is the technique of placing

implants at special angles and positions.

Just like firmly setting the pillars of a building,

a small number of implants can still stably support the entire

structure.

Using 3D navigation and digital technology,

the treatment method can be determined according to the

condition of the jawbone.

All-on-X treatment is carried out in several stages.

First, a precise diagnosis and consultation are performed

through CT imaging.

After that, the prosthesis is designed using computer simulation,

and the actual implant placement and prosthesis

insertion are performed.

Finally, the final prosthesis is fitted within about 30 days.

Compared with regular implants,

the advantages of All-on-X are clear.

It saves a great deal of cost and time, and because the surgical area is

smaller, recovery can be helped. It can also improve chewing ability,

which may help with eating.

In the case of implant-supported dentures, chewing ability is at about

60% to 80% of natural teeth, and while they are removable,

All-on-X is a fixed prosthesis that does not move at all in the mouth.

All-on-X also requires consistent care,

just like natural teeth.

Proper daily brushing and flossing are important,

and regular checkups every 6 months are recommended.

During the period when temporary prostheses are worn, it is best to avoid hard or chewy foods,

but after the final prosthesis is fitted, eating may be helpful.

The length of use can vary depending on how well it is maintained,

and aftercare services are provided, which can reduce the burden

of post-treatment care.

For smokers, quitting before and after treatment is recommended,

and even if you have diabetes or high blood pressure, treatment may be possible if the condition is well controlled.

"I want full-arch implants,

but the cost is too burdensome.

Is there another option?" For those who have these concerns, All-on-X

dental treatment can be a good alternative.

That is because it is more economical than replacing all teeth with individual implants,

while still allowing consideration of chewing ability and esthetics.

Because full tooth function can be restored with only 4 to 6 implants,

the financial burden can be greatly reduced.

"I’m older and it’s hard to visit many times.

Is it still possible?" All-on-X dental treatment is also

suitable for older adults.

Since a temporary prosthesis can be fitted on the same day,

it is possible to return to daily life right away, and the shorter treatment period can reduce the number of visits.  There may be individual differences depending on overall health,

but treatment can be carried out through a precise examination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many people wonder whether All-on-X is possible even when there is insufficient jawbone.

Using 3D navigation and digital technology,

implants are placed at special angles and positions,

and the treatment method is determined according to the individual's jawbone condition.

Because it can vary depending on the individual's jawbone condition,

a precise examination is necessary.

We also receive many inquiries about pain after All-on-X dental surgery.

Treatment using 3D navigation can help reduce pain and incisions,

and although there may be some discomfort after surgery,

it can be controlled with general pain relievers.

Many patients say that the pain is less than they expected.
