Are you considering All-on-X insurance and full-mouth implants?

Chief Director Lee Jang-wook

Hello.

We are Etoile Seoul Dental Clinic, a place that does its best

for a healthy smile.

Today, I would like to greet you warmly once again and share useful information about dental health. These days, many people are considering full-mouth implants while also worrying about the financial burden.

In particular, inquiries about All-on-X insurance have been increasing.

You are probably reading this article with questions like, "Will insurance actually apply?" or "Is there a way to reduce the cost burden?" Through today’s post, I hope to help you clearly understand the insurance information related to All-on-X.

We take care of your dental health.

What is All-on-X?

All-on-X is another name for a full-arch implant procedure, a treatment method that restores an entire jaw with only about 4 to 6 implants for people who have lost all of their teeth.

Just as a house is supported by a few pillars, it can be considered an advanced method that restores the function of all teeth with a small number of implants.

In the traditional method, all teeth had to be replaced with individual implants, but with All-on-X, implants are placed at individualized angles and positions, so bone grafting may not be necessary.

Using 3D navigation and digital technology can help establish a more systematic treatment plan.

There are various cases in which this treatment is needed.

It is suitable for people who experience discomfort due to long-term denture use, people whose dentures keep falling out and interfere with daily life, people who have difficulty visiting the clinic multiple times because of limited mobility, and people who are older and considering full-mouth implants.

All-on-X insurance coverage and understanding the treatment

Speaking about the All-on-X insurance coverage that many people are curious about, current national health insurance in Korea provides partial coverage for implants.

If you are 65 or older or meet certain conditions, you can receive national health insurance benefits for up to two implants in your lifetime.

However, in cases where multiple implants are needed, as with All-on-X, additional costs may arise.

For private insurance, the scope of implant coverage varies depending on the insurer and the product, so it is important to carefully check the terms of your policy.

Some indemnity insurance policies also cover a certain percentage of treatment costs, and dental insurance products may offer broader coverage.

The biggest advantage of All-on-X treatment is that it shortens the surgery time and recovery period.

Typically, the surgery takes about 2 to 3 hours, and a temporary prosthesis can be fitted on the same day to help you return to daily life.

This can be seen as an amazing change, like moving into a new house in just one day.

In terms of chewing ability, restoration of chewing function close to that of natural teeth can be expected, and positive results may be anticipated compared with conventional dentures.

Because it is a fixed prosthesis that does not move at all inside the mouth, there is no need to worry about it coming loose like dentures, allowing you to enjoy meals and conversations with confidence.

All-on-X care and prevention When considering All-on-X insurance, it is also a good idea to learn in advance how to care for it after treatment.

All-on-X, like natural teeth, requires consistent care.

Daily proper brushing and flossing are essential, and we recommend regular checkups every six months.

During the temporary prosthesis period, it is best to avoid hard or chewy foods, and after the prosthesis is fitted, you can eat most foods freely.

Smoking can shorten the lifespan of implants, so quitting before and after treatment is recommended.

The gum line, delicately recreated with pink porcelain, and the natural-looking teeth made of zirconia create an appearance that is as natural as your own gums.

With proper care, they can be used for a long time, and many dental clinics offer follow-up care programs.

Real concerns and solutions

Customer: I want to receive All-on-X insurance coverage, but is there an age limit? Do I have to be 65 or older to receive the benefit?

For national health insurance coverage, it is limited to people who are 65 or older or who have certain medical conditions. However, private insurance may provide coverage regardless of age depending on the enrollment conditions, so it is best to contact your insurance company.

Customer: Is All-on-X treatment possible even if I have diabetes and high blood pressure? Will that affect insurance coverage?

If diabetes or high blood pressure is well controlled, treatment is possible in most cases. In fact, All-on-X involves a smaller surgical area, so it is a treatment method that places less burden on people with systemic conditions.

Whether insurance coverage applies is determined not by the type of condition, but by the necessity of the treatment and the insurance policy terms.

Customer: Dental implant treatment is so expensive that it feels burdensome. Is All-on-X more economical?

All-on-X is more economical than replacing every tooth with individual implants.

With 4 to 6 implants, the function of the entire set of teeth can be restored, saving both cost and time.

Questions and Answers

Let’s organize the questions that are frequently asked about All-on-X insurance.

The first common question is:

"After All-on-X surgery, when can I eat normally?"

After the temporary prosthesis is fitted, you can start with soft foods and gradually expand your diet, and about a month after the prosthesis is fitted, you can eat most foods.

The second question is:

"How long does All-on-X last?" The answer varies depending on the individual’s oral care habits and whether they receive regular checkups, but with proper care, it can be used for a long time.

Some dental clinics also provide related complimentary treatment services within three years.

The third question is:

"How does a 3D navigation system help with All-on-X?" With a 3D navigation system, preoperative simulation is possible, and placing implants at the planned positions can help reduce pain and incision size.

This can shorten the recovery period and increase the success rate of the surgery.
