All-on-X Dental Implants in Bakersfield, CA

Ideal Candidates for All-on-X

All-on-X is an excellent option for patients who:

• Are missing most or all of their teeth on the upper or lower jaw (or both)
• Have multiple failing, infected, or severely damaged teeth that need to be extracted
• Currently wear removable dentures and are frustrated with the instability, discomfort, or dietary restrictions
• Want a long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures
• Have experienced some bone loss, but still have enough jawbone to support implants
• Are looking for a shorter overall treatment timeline compared to placing individual implants for each missing tooth

If significant bone loss has occurred, Dr. Saifee and Dr. Sanger may suggest a bone graft or sinus lift to rebuild the foundation needed before or in some cases during the All-on-X procedure. As periodontal specialists with years of experience in implant dentistry, they are highly qualified to manage complex implant cases that would require advanced surgical skill.

The All-on-X Treatment Process

It begins with a comprehensive evaluation that includes 3D cone beam imaging and intraoral scans. This advanced digital technology allows Dr. Saifee and Dr. Sanger to map your jawbone structure in precise detail, identify any areas of concern, and plan your implant placement with computer-guided accuracy, before a single incision is made.

Every All-on-X case at our practice is planned individually. Your doctors will determine the optimal number and placement angle of the implants to maximize stability and support. If any teeth need to be removed, those extractions are coordinated as part of the same surgical appointment whenever possible.

In many cases, a temporary full-arch prosthesis can be attached on the same day as implant placement. Eligibility for same-day provisional teeth depends on factors such as implant stability, bone quality, and overall oral health. This is what makes All-on-X such a compelling option for patients who have been suffering from tooth loss for years.

Over the next several months, your implants fuse with the jawbone through a natural process called osseointegration. Once healing is complete, your temporary prosthesis is replaced with a final, custom-crafted arch restoration, built for durability, designed for beauty, and fitted precisely to your bite.

All-on-X vs. Traditional Dentures

Traditional dentures sit on top of the gums. Over time, the lack of implant stimulation causes the jawbone to shrink, which is why dentures often become looser and less functional the longer they’re worn. All-on-X implants help stimulate the jawbone in a manner similar to natural tooth roots, which may help reduce the bone loss commonly associated with missing teeth.
