For people living with full arches of failing, damaged, or missing teeth, the idea of a complete, fixed smile can feel out of reach. Traditional dentures slip, restrict what you can eat, and do nothing to stop the bone loss that comes with tooth loss over time. All-on-X implants offer a different approach to permanent, non-removable full-arch restorations anchored by just four or more strategically placed implants, often completed in a single day.
At Simpson Dental PLLC in Charleston, West Virginia, Dr. Christen Simpson Raynes and Dr. Chase Preston provide full-arch dental implant solutions for patients throughout the Mountain State who are ready to leave removable dentures behind for good. Our practice has been built on three generations of family dentistry. With thousands of implants having been restored at Simpson Dental, full-arch reconstruction is one of the most meaningful and transformative procedures we offer.
What All-on-4 and All-on-X Really Mean
All-on-4 replaces a full arch of missing teeth with four dental implants that hold a fixed set of replacement teeth in place. The front implants are placed straight into the jawbone, while the back implants are angled to make better use of the bone already available. That angled placement is one reason this approach can work well for patients with reduced bone volume and may help limit the need for bone grafting in some cases.
The right plan still depends on each patient’s bone density, anatomy, and long-term support needs. All-on-X follows the same general idea but may use more than four implants when added stability is needed.
Both options are designed to give patients a full arch of replacement teeth that stay fixed in place. That means the arch does not come out at night, shift when you chew, or rely on adhesives to stay secure. The result is meant to look, feel, and function much more like natural teeth than a removable denture. Our dental implant services cover the full range of implant solutions, and we work with each patient individually to decide which foundation makes the most sense for their smile.
General and Family Dentistry Financing Available
Quality dental care for the entire family with flexible financing makes comprehensive dental implant treatment accessible. Our team works with you to find payment options that fit your budget, so you can receive the care you need.
Why This Approach Works So Well
A 2022 study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine via PubMed Central reported a cumulative implant survival rate of 96.2% at 10 years for All-on-4 cases, confirming the long-term predictability of this treatment for full-arch rehabilitation. Those outcomes are driven not just by the technique itself but by the precision of treatment planning, the quality of the restoration, and the experience of the team placing and restoring the implants.
At Simpson Dental, every component of that process happens under one roof. Our on-site dental lab is staffed by three full-time technicians with a combined 60 years of experience, which means the teeth that fit on top of your implants are crafted with the same care and precision as everything else we do. You can also learn more about the same-day implant process and how our in-house capabilities make full-arch treatment faster and more seamless than practices that rely on outside labs.
Preserving Your Bone and Your Face
One of the most important yet often overlooked benefits of All-on-X is the effect on the jawbone after treatment. When teeth are missing, the bone that once supported them begins to resorb, which over time changes the shape of the face and makes future treatment more complex. Because implants are embedded directly into the jaw, they provide the stimulation the bone needs to stay healthy and maintain its volume.
A Fixed Result You Can Trust
Patients who come to us after years of living with removable dentures often describe the experience of a fixed arch as life-changing. There are no more worries about dentures shifting during a meal or an important conversation. Brushing and caring for the restoration feels much more like caring for natural teeth, and the confidence that comes from a stable, beautiful smile touches nearly every area of daily life.
Who Is a Good Candidate for All-on-X?
All-on-X may be options for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth, have a full arch of failing teeth, or are ready to move away from removable dentures. They can also be worth discussing before planned extractions, especially for patients who want to understand what a fixed replacement could look like before making a decision.
Dr. Raynes and Dr. Preston review every case individually, including patients who have been told elsewhere that implants may not be possible. Your bone structure, oral health, goals, and long-term needs all shape the recommendation. Our blog on who is a candidate for full-arch implants walks through that evaluation process in more detail.
