All-On-X Dental Implants in Atlanta, GA

All-On-X isn't a fixed number of implants, it's a flexible, full-arch approach planned around exactly what your jaw and bite need. Some cases call for four implants, others for six or more, decided with 3D imaging rather than a set protocol.

What it is

What is All-On-X, and how does it work?

All-On-X replaces a full row of missing teeth with one fixed bridge anchored on dental implants, where the X is the implant count your own jaw calls for rather than a preset four or six. At ANEWU, that number comes from a 3D scan taken at your consultation.

All-On-4 and All-On-6 both describe a fixed number of implants. All-On-X is the flexible version of the same idea, planned from your 3D scan rather than a preset count, and built around your bone, bite and goals.

Because the plan starts from your anatomy, All-On-X can mean fewer separate decisions than committing to a count before your imaging is reviewed. The planning runs on 3D imaging and guided surgery, so implant position is mapped in advance.

How it works

The All-On-X treatment path, step by step

Four stages, from the first scan to the bridge you keep.

01
Consultation and 3D imaging
Every All-On-X plan starts with a detailed 3D scan of your jaw, bite and bone volume, taken and reviewed with you at your first visit.
02
Determining your number
Dr. Abtin reviews your imaging and recommends the exact number and position of implants your case calls for, rather than starting from a fixed protocol.
03
Implant placement
Implants are placed in a single outpatient visit, with a temporary fixed bridge attached the same day for qualifying cases.
04
Healing and final bridge
After healing, our on site lab helps deliver your final, fixed arch, kept in house rather than sent out.

Replacing missing teeth

How do I replace a full arch of missing teeth?

A full arch of missing teeth is replaced three ways at ANEWU: a fixed bridge on a set number of implants, a removable denture anchored on mini implants, or an All-On-X plan sized to your own anatomy. A 3D scan at your free consultation determines which your bone supports.

If you have ever wondered how to replace missing teeth without ending up in a denture cup, it comes down to how much bone is left and whether you want something fixed or something you take out at night.

A fixed full arch

One bridge on implants, not removed for cleaning. For qualifying cases a temporary version goes on the day of surgery, which is what same day teeth describes.

A denture that snaps in

A removable overdenture held by several small implants, which stops the slipping a conventional denture allows. See mini implant dentures.

An anchor above thin bone

When the upper back jaw has lost too much height for standard implants, zygomatic implants anchor in the cheekbone, avoiding grafting entirely.

Is this you?

Am I a candidate for All-On-X?

You are likely a candidate for All-On-X if you have lost, or are about to lose, every tooth in an upper or lower arch and want a fixed bridge rather than a removable denture. Dr. Abtin Shahriari confirms candidacy with a 3D scan at your consultation.

You've lost, or are about to lose, all of the teeth in an upper or lower arch
You want a full-arch fixed solution but aren't sure if All-On-4 or All-On-6 fits your case
Your bone volume varies across the arch and may call for a non-standard implant count
You'd rather let your 3D imaging decide the exact plan than commit to a number upfront
Another office told you there was not enough bone, and you want a second look

Not every jaw has the bone volume for a fixed full arch. Where it does not, bone grafting rebuilds the ridge first, or a pterygoid implant reaches denser bone further back.

All-On-X vs. a fixed count

All-On-X compared with choosing All-On-4 or All-On-6 upfront

Both routes end in a fixed, full-arch bridge. The difference is when the implant number gets decided.

All-On-X

Implant count is planned from your 3D imaging, not decided in advance
Built around your specific bone and bite from the start
Can mean fewer separate treatment decisions along the way
Still results in a single, fixed, full-arch bridge

Choosing All-On-4 or All-On-6 upfront

A specific implant count is chosen before your full imaging is reviewed
Well understood and widely used approaches
May need to be adjusted if your imaging reveals a different picture
Can still be the right call for straightforward cases

Timeline

How long does All-On-X take from start to finish?

Implant placement for All-On-X happens in a single outpatient visit, and qualifying cases leave with a temporary fixed bridge the same day. A healing period follows, then the final fixed bridge is made in our on site lab and fitted. Your surgeon will confirm the timeline for your case.

The day of surgeryImplants are placed in one outpatient visit. Qualifying cases go home with a temporary fixed bridge already attached.
The healing periodThe jaw heals around the implants while you wear the temporary, soft foods first, then a normal diet.
The final bridgeYour permanent arch is made in our on site lab, fitted and adjusted in person.

Most of that calendar is healing, not appointments. Here is what to expect at your first visit.

Cost & financing

How much does All-On-X cost in Atlanta?

All-On-X cost at ANEWU depends on the final implant count, whether bone grafting is needed first, and which restoration is used. Dental insurance typically does not cover implant treatment. We accept CareCredit and Proceed Finance, plus Visa, MasterCard and Discover, and can arrange a monthly payment plan before treatment.

Because the implant count is decided from your scan rather than assumed, a figure follows the imaging review and covers the surgery, the implants, the temporary and the final bridge.

Where is this treatment performed?

Implant surgery is performed at all three ANEWU offices in Georgia. Patients north of Atlanta most often use the Cumming or Dawsonville offices, both just off the GA-400 corridor, while the Buckhead office serves patients inside the perimeter. Records move between offices, so follow up can happen at whichever address is closer.

Ask us directly

It stands for the number of implants your case needs, rather than a fixed four or six. Dr. Abtin determines that number from your 3D imaging, so the X is different for every patient.

From a 3D scan of your jaw, bone volume and bite. Dr. Abtin reviews that imaging with you and recommends the implant count and placement built around your own anatomy.

They're all full-arch, fixed-bridge approaches. All-On-4 and All-On-6 use a set number of implants, while All-On-X is planned to whatever number your case calls for, which sometimes ends up being four or six anyway.

Yes. Regardless of the exact implant count, the result is a single, fixed, full-arch bridge that isn't removed for cleaning.

Dental insurance typically doesn't cover implant treatment. We accept CareCredit and Proceed Finance, can arrange monthly payment plans, and our team will help you understand your specific coverage.
