Sound Familiar?
If this describes your daily reality, a permanent solution exists. Your next chapter can look very different.
What Waiting Really Costs
Bone Loss Accelerates
Your jawbone shrinks each year teeth are missing, changing your facial structure.
Remaining Teeth Fail Faster
Neighboring teeth carry extra strain and often break or loosen over time.
Treatment Grows More Complex
Less available bone means grafting becomes necessary before implants can be placed.
Facial Appearance Shifts
Lips and cheeks lose support, adding years to your appearance.
Nutrition Suffers Quietly
Softer diets limit the foods that keep your body healthy.
Confidence Keeps Shrinking
Social withdrawal becomes habit the longer the problem goes unaddressed.
Acting sooner means simpler treatment, better bone support, and faster results.
How All-On-X Restores a Full Arch
All-On-X replaces an entire upper or lower arch of teeth using a small number of dental implants as anchors. The implants are titanium posts placed into your jawbone, where the bone grows around them and holds them firmly in position. A custom bridge of replacement teeth attaches directly to those posts, creating one solid, fixed set of teeth. Nothing comes out at night, and nothing relies on adhesive or suction to stay in place.
Planning matters enormously with a full-arch case, which is why our team at Hite Family Dentistry maps every implant position using cone beam 3D imaging before treatment begins. Digital impressions and intraoral scanning give us precise measurements of your bite and tissue, and our in-house lab capability shortens the path from planning to placement. Patients considering All-On-X dental implants in Edwardsville get a plan built around their specific bone structure and goals.
Implants are made from medical-grade titanium
Bone fusion typically takes three to six months
Bridge attaches directly to implant posts

Not Sure Where You Stand?
What to Expect With All-On-X Treatment
Consultation and Imaging
You'll sit down with one of our doctors to talk through what you want from treatment and what's been holding you back. Cone beam 3D imaging captures your jaw structure in detail, and intraoral scanning records your bite digitally without messy impression material. By the end of this visit, you'll understand exactly what's possible and what the path looks like.
Digital Treatment Planning
Using your 3D scan, we map the precise position and angle of each implant before you return. This planning stage determines how your new teeth will look, how they'll meet your opposite arch, and how your facial support will be restored. You'll review the plan and see a preview of your results, so nothing about treatment day comes as a surprise.
Implant Placement Day
You'll be comfortable from the start, with nitrous oxide, oral sedation, or IV sedation available and a dedicated sedation nurse monitoring you throughout. Any remaining teeth are removed, the implants are placed at the positions we planned, and a temporary set of fixed teeth is attached the same day. You'll leave with teeth in place, not an empty arch.
Healing and Integration
Over the next several months, your jawbone grows around each implant and locks it into position. You'll wear your temporary teeth throughout this phase, eating a modified diet at first and returning for brief checkups so we can confirm everything is progressing well. Most patients are surprised by how quickly daily life returns to normal.
Final Teeth Delivery
Once integration is complete, digital impressions capture the exact fit for your permanent bridge. Our in-house lab and 3D printing capability allow close control over shade, shape, and proportion, and you'll approve the look before anything is finalized. Your permanent teeth are secured to the implants, and you walk out with the result you've been working toward.

Recovering After All-On-X Treatment
First 24-48 Hours
Expect mild swelling and tenderness around the implant sites, which peaks during this window and then begins easing. You'll rest, apply cold compresses, and stick to cool, soft foods while your body starts healing. Most patients manage comfort well with prescribed or over-the-counter relief.
First 1-2 Weeks
Swelling continues to fade and eating becomes noticeably easier as tissue settles around your temporary teeth. You'll stay with soft foods during this stretch and rinse gently to keep the area clean. Many patients return to work and normal routines within several days.
Long-Term Healing
Over the following months, your jawbone fuses securely around each implant while you wear your temporary set. You'll gradually add firmer foods as healing progresses, with brief checkups along the way to confirm everything is on track. By the time your permanent teeth are placed, healing is complete.
