If Full Implants Feel Like Too Much, How About This? Haru Plant’s Practical All-on-X Implant Solution!

Hello.

Haru Plant Dental Clinic offers a comfortable daily life that begins with Haru.

When multiple teeth are lost, many people think of dentures as an alternative.

But as mentioned last time, dentures are not such a good choice.

First of all, because they are not fixed in place, chewing power is weak, and as they are used, pain in the gums can easily occur. Food can get trapped, and there is also discomfort when inserting and removing them.

In addition, because they need to be replaced at regular intervals, the financial burden is fairly large.

That is why more people have recently been choosing full implants.

Compared to inconvenient dentures, they offer better function and aesthetics, and because they are fixed to the jawbone and used, their chewing power can be considered similar to that of natural teeth.

However, for some people, full implants may not be an easy choice at all.

Because implants are placed throughout the jawbone, the cost can be burdensome, and the recovery period is relatively long, so the treatment itself may feel like a barrier.

In particular, some patients may already have substantial jawbone resorption or may naturally have a low bone volume, which can create various limitations when getting full implants.

So does that mean you have no choice but to give up on full implants? Not at all.

At times like this, the method to consider is the All-on-X implant.

Today, let’s take a look at All-on-X implants, which can be treated with minimal placement.

All-on-X Implants That Restore Full Dental Function With Minimal Placement

All-on-X implants are an efficient treatment method that provides the advantages of full implants with minimal placement.

While full implants place implants according to the number of natural teeth, All-on-X implants place 5 to 6 implants in the upper and lower jaws respectively, then complete the restoration by attaching a sturdy frame and fixed prosthesis on top.

All-on-X implants are also called full-arch implants because they use 5 to 6 implants placed in the jawbone as support posts and attach an arch-shaped artificial tooth structure.

A titanium frame is placed over the 5 to 6 implants, allowing it to sufficiently support chewing force.

As a result, the burden is reduced compared to full implants, which require implants to be placed for each individual tooth, and one major advantage of All-on-X implants is that they can replace the function of all lost teeth.

Minimizing bone grafting for both stability and cost savings

Among those who find full implants difficult, many have weak gum and jawbone conditions.

Because implants are a structure that is fixed to the jawbone and used, there must be a sufficient amount of strong bone.

If that is not the case, additional procedures such as bone grafting are needed.

However, if bone grafting is performed first, the surgical area becomes wider and the recovery period becomes longer.

On the other hand, All-on-X implants allow the placement position and angle to be flexibly adjusted according to the patient’s jawbone condition after a precise analysis.

By adjusting the placement around the areas of stronger jawbone, it helps reduce aftereffects such as swelling after surgery and supports faster recovery.

In addition, All-on-X implants make efficient use of the remaining jawbone and minimize bone grafting, simplifying the overall treatment process and making the time and cost required more reasonable.

Haru Plant Dental Clinic’s All-on-X Implants

At Haru Plant Dental Clinic, our All-on-X implant treatment, based on more than 25 years of clinical experience and with stability in mind, recommends placing 6 implants in the upper jaw and 5 implants in the lower jaw.

In particular, because the upper jaw is anatomically an area with lower jawbone density, the number of implants is increased for more stable fixation.

After placement is completed, a highly durable titanium frame is attached, and an arch-shaped artificial tooth structure is placed on top to firmly secure it.

In particular, the titanium frame helps maintain the natural appearance of All-on-X implants and their resistance to discoloration, while its inherent strength supports chewing force and helps prevent wear between the metal parts of the implant and the zirconia in the artificial teeth, allowing stable use.

Today, we looked at All-on-X implants, which reduce the burden of treatment while enhancing efficiency.

Full implants are a premium solution that can replace dentures when all teeth have been lost, and unlike dentures, they allow you to feel chewing force and comfort similar to natural teeth without discomfort.

However, because implants must be placed for as many teeth as natural teeth, the surgical burden can be significant.

In contrast, All-on-X implants strategically place a small number of implants to maintain function and stability while achieving both the function and efficiency of full implants.

However, All-on-X implants are a high-difficulty treatment that requires precise calculation of the placement sites, so it is important to receive treatment at a dental clinic with abundant clinical experience and advanced diagnostic equipment.

Haru Plant Dental Clinic’s Seoul National University-educated lead director with 25 years of clinical experience personally establishes the treatment plan, and through a collaborative system with specialized medical staff and precise diagnosis using advanced digital equipment, we provide satisfying results with one-on-one customized treatment that takes each individual’s anatomical characteristics fully into account.
