If you are living with missing teeth, failing dental work, or dentures that do not feel secure, full-arch implant solutions can help you reclaim comfort and confidence. All-On-X is a modern approach to full-arch tooth replacement that uses dental implants to support a full set of teeth with improved stability and function. At Anderson Dental, we focus on advanced planning, guided technology, and a clear step-by-step experience—so you can feel informed and supported from your first conversation through your final results. Patients in Davenport, IA, choose All-On-X when they want a long-term solution designed to feel secure and natural.
Full-Arch Tooth Replacement With Advanced Planning
Full-arch treatment is highly personalized because every patient’s anatomy, bite, and goals are different. Advanced planning helps us evaluate how your new smile should look, how it should function, and what steps are needed to support stable, lasting results. This planning phase is essential because it sets expectations for timing, healing, and the type of restoration that best fits your needs.
During your consultation, we evaluate your current teeth, gum health, bone support, and bite relationship. We also talk through your priorities—such as comfort, aesthetics, and how quickly you want to return to normal eating habits. From there, we map out a plan that fits your health history and supports predictable outcomes.
Digital Implant Mapping With 3D CBCT Imaging
3D CBCT imaging is a key part of full-arch planning because it provides a detailed view of bone volume, density, and important anatomical structures. With this information, we can plan implant positioning more accurately and identify whether any additional support—such as grafting—may be helpful.
Digital mapping helps us evaluate:
- Bone structure: Understanding volume and density for implant stability.
- Anatomy: Identifying sinus position and nerve pathways.
- Implant spacing: Planning placement that supports the final restoration.
- Risk reduction: Improving predictability by planning before treatment begins.
This level of detail helps us design treatment around your anatomy rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.
Guided Surgery For Optimal Implant Placement
Guided surgery uses digital planning to support precise implant placement. The goal is to position implants where they can provide the best support for the full-arch restoration and help distribute bite forces more effectively. Accuracy matters because it impacts comfort, stability, and the long-term performance of your final teeth.
Guided surgery can support:
- Precision: Planning implant position with restorative goals in mind.
- Efficiency: Streamlining the surgical visit with a clear plan.
- Stability: Supporting stronger implant placement when conditions are favorable.
- Predictability: Improving consistency from planning to placement.
We will explain how guided planning applies to your case and what it means for your treatment timeline.
Immediate Function With Temporary Restorations
Many All-On-X treatment plans include a temporary restoration that allows you to leave with teeth the same day or soon after surgery, depending on your clinical needs. This is sometimes referred to as “immediate function,” meaning you can have a fixed set of temporary teeth while healing begins.
Temporary restorations are designed to support comfort, appearance, and day-to-day function while your implants integrate. During this period, we guide you on diet, hygiene, and what to expect as your mouth heals. Once healing is complete, we transition you into your final restoration designed for long-term wear.
Immediate function can help you:
- Feel confident: Leaving with a complete smile rather than gaps.
- Speak comfortably: Supporting clearer speech compared to missing teeth.
- Maintain routine: Returning to daily life with stable temporary teeth.
- Stay motivated: Seeing progress early while working toward the final result.
Bone Preservation & Grafting When Needed
Bone support is a major factor in full-arch success. If you have experienced bone loss due to missing teeth, gum disease, or long-term denture use, additional support may be needed before or during implant placement. Bone grafting can rebuild areas where volume is limited, and bone preservation techniques can help protect structure when teeth are removed.
We evaluate bone needs carefully and recommend grafting only when it supports a safer, more predictable outcome. If grafting is part of your plan, we will explain what it involves, what healing looks like, and how it impacts your overall timeline.
Bone support may be recommended to:
- Improve stability: Building a stronger foundation for implants.
- Expand options: Making full-arch treatment possible for more patients.
- Support function: Helping the final restoration feel stable and secure.
- Protect outcomes: Reducing risk factors that can impact long-term success.
Sedation-Assisted Full-Arch Treatment Options
Full-arch treatment can feel overwhelming if you have dental anxiety or concerns about comfort. Sedation-assisted options can help you stay relaxed during your visit, making the overall experience feel calmer and more manageable.
Sedation may be helpful if you:
- Feel nervous: Dental anxiety makes it hard to proceed with treatment.
- Prefer comfort support: Longer procedures feel easier with relaxation options.
- Want a smoother experience: You prefer to feel less aware of treatment steps.
- Need complex care: Multiple procedures are planned in the same visit.
Our team will review your medical history and help you choose an option that supports safety and comfort.
Comprehensive In-House Care From Start To Finish
Full-arch treatment works best when surgical planning and restorative design stay aligned. Comprehensive in-house care supports better communication, more consistent planning, and a smoother experience throughout each phase. From imaging and surgical steps to temporary teeth and final restoration, our focus is on keeping each stage coordinated.
This approach helps ensure your implants are placed with the final teeth in mind—so your smile looks natural, feels comfortable, and supports your bite long term. We also provide clear guidance for ongoing maintenance, because full-arch restorations need proper home care and routine monitoring to stay healthy.
Comprehensive care supports:
- Consistency: Keeping planning and follow-through aligned across every phase.
- Clarity: Helping you understand steps, timing, and what to expect.
- Quality control: Ensuring details are refined from start to finish.
- Long-term maintenance: Supporting ongoing health with regular monitoring.
