(Implant-Supported Dentures That Look, Feel, and Function Like Your Natural Teeth)
If you are missing most or all of your teeth — or struggling with dentures that slip, click, or limit what you can eat — All-on-X dental implants may be the life-changing solution you have been looking for. At Beautiful Smiles in Greenwood, Indiana, Dr. Benjamin Stevens offers All-on-X implant-supported full arch restorations to help patients throughout the Indianapolis area reclaim their smile, their confidence, and their quality of life.
All-on-X goes by many names — All-on-4, All-on-6, implant-supported dentures, or full arch implants — but the goal is always the same: a complete, permanent set of teeth anchored securely to your jaw with as few as four to six implant posts.
All-on-X is a full arch tooth replacement system — meaning it replaces every tooth on your upper jaw, lower jaw, or both, using a fixed set of prosthetic teeth that are permanently anchored to your jawbone with dental implants.
Think of it this way: traditional dentures sit on top of your gums and rely on suction or adhesive to stay in place. All-on-X implant-supported dentures are completely different. They are attached to titanium implant posts that are surgically placed directly into your jawbone — just like the roots of natural teeth. The result is a restoration that is stable, secure, and permanent.
The "X" in All-on-X simply refers to the number of implants used. The most common versions are:
"All-on-X is not just a dental procedure — it is a complete restoration of function, appearance, and confidence. For many patients, it is genuinely life-changing."
All-on-X may be the ideal solution if you:

We know that choosing full-arch restoration is a big decision. Here is exactly what the process looks like from your first visit to your final smile.
STEP 1 — Consultation & Comprehensive Evaluation Dr. Stevens begins with a thorough exam, digital x-rays, and 3D imaging to evaluate your jaw structure, bone density, and overall oral health. We discuss your goals, answer every question, and design a personalized treatment plan before any procedure begins. There are no surprises at Beautiful Smiles — you will always know what is coming and why.
STEP 2 — Treatment Planning & Smile Design Using our advanced technology, we map the precise placement of your implants and begin designing your custom prosthetic arch. The shape, size, and color of your new teeth are tailored to complement your face and your preferences.
STEP 3 — Implant Placement Surgery On your procedure day, Dr. Stevens places four to six titanium implant posts into your jawbone. Any remaining failing teeth are extracted at the same appointment. In most cases, a temporary but fully functional set of teeth is attached the same day — so you leave with a complete smile.
STEP 4 — Healing & Osseointegration
Over the next three to six months, your implants fuse naturally with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This biological bonding is what makes All-on-X implants so incredibly strong and stable. During this time, your temporary teeth allow you to eat, speak, and smile normally.
STEP 5 — Final Restoration Once your implants have fully integrated, your custom permanent arch is crafted and securely attached. This is your final smile — natural-looking, beautiful, and built to last.
All-on-X is not just about aesthetics. It is about restoring every aspect of your oral health and your daily life. Here is what patients experience after treatment:
PERMANENT & FIXED — NO MORE DENTURES
All-on-X implant-supported teeth do not come out. No adhesive, no soaking, no worrying about them slipping at dinner or while laughing. They are anchored to your jaw and stay there — period.
EAT WHAT YOU WANT
One of the most common complaints from denture wearers is the inability to eat certain foods. All-on-X restores up to 80–90% of natural bite force, allowing patients to eat steak, apples, corn on the cob, and all the foods they have been avoiding.
LOOKS AND FEELS NATURAL
Your prosthetic arch is custom-designed to look like real teeth. The shape, size, and shade are all chosen to suit your face and your smile. Most people will never know you had any work done.
PRESERVES YOUR JAWBONE When teeth are lost, the jawbone begins to shrink over time — a process called bone resorption. The titanium implants in All-on-X act as artificial tooth roots, stimulating the bone and preventing the facial collapse and sunken appearance that long-term denture wearers often experience.
EASIER TO CARE FOR
Caring for All-on-X teeth is straightforward. Brush twice a day, floss around the implants, and attend regular checkups at Beautiful Smiles. No denture adhesive, no soaking solutions, no special routines.
RESTORED CONFIDENCE
Tooth loss affects far more than your mouth — it affects how you speak, how you eat, how you appear in photos, and how you feel about yourself. All-on-X patients consistently report a dramatic improvement in confidence and quality of life after treatment.
This is one of the most important questions patients ask — and the answer is one of the most compelling reasons to choose All-on-X over traditional dentures or other tooth replacement options.
STABILITY: Because All-on-X implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, they function like natural tooth roots. There is zero movement. You can bite, chew, and speak with complete confidence knowing your teeth will not shift, pop, or embarrass you. Studies consistently show that implant-supported full arch restorations provide significantly better stability and chewing efficiency than conventional dentures.
The angled rear implants in the All-on-X design are placed in areas of naturally denser bone, providing strong foundational support even in patients who have experienced some degree of bone loss.
LONGEVITY:
The titanium implant posts used in All-on-X are designed to last a lifetime. Titanium is biocompatible — meaning your body accepts it as its own — and once fully integrated with your jawbone, the implants become a permanent part of your anatomy.
The prosthetic arch attached to the implants is highly durable and typically lasts 15–20+ years with proper care, at which point it can be updated or replaced while the implant posts remain intact.
Yes — All-on-4 is the original and most well-known version of the All-on-X concept. All-on-X is simply a broader term that includes variations like All-on-6 or All-on-8, which use more implants for additional support. Dr. Stevens will recommend the right configuration based on your specific anatomy and goals.
Essentially, yes. “Implant-supported dentures” and “All-on-X” describe the same core concept — a full arch of prosthetic teeth permanently secured by dental implants. The terms are often used interchangeably, though All-on-X typically refers to a fixed (non-removable) restoration.
The surgery itself is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the procedure. Sedation options are also available for patients who experience anxiety. Some soreness and swelling in the days following surgery is normal and manageable with over-the-counter or prescribed medication. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the recovery is.
The full All-on-X process typically takes several months from implant placement to final restoration — primarily because the healing and osseointegration phase takes three to six months. However, in most cases you will leave your implant placement appointment with temporary teeth the same day, so you are never without a smile.
Possibly yes. One of the key advantages of the All-on-X technique is that the angled placement of the rear implants allows them to engage denser areas of bone, often making bone grafting unnecessary. A 3D scan and thorough evaluation with Dr. Stevens will give you a clear answer.
Much like natural teeth. Brush twice daily with a soft-bristle toothbrush, use a water flosser or implant floss around the implant sites, avoid extremely hard foods that could damage the prosthetic, and attend your regular checkups at Beautiful Smiles. With proper care, your implants can last a lifetime.
All-on-X is a significant investment, and the cost varies depending on the number of implants, the complexity of your case, and whether extractions or other preparatory work is needed. At Beautiful Smiles, we provide full treatment cost breakdowns before any procedure begins and will work with you to discuss financing options. We believe everyone deserves access to great dental care.
Coverage varies by plan. Some dental insurance plans cover a portion of implant-supported restorations. Our team will help you understand your benefits and identify any coverage that applies to your treatment.
Traditional dentures rest on the gums and use suction or adhesive to stay in place. All-on-X implants are surgically anchored to the jawbone — they do not move, do not require adhesive, and preserve the bone structure of your jaw. They look, feel, and function far more like natural teeth.
Choosing the right dental team for a full arch restoration is one of the most important decisions you will make. At Beautiful Smiles, Dr. Benjamin Stevens combines clinical expertise, state-of-the-art technology, and a genuinely patient-centered approach to ensure your experience — and your results — exceed your expectations.
