Discover how All-on-X treatment in Cartagena can restore a full smile with a personalized approach, advanced technology, and certified specialists.

Losing several teeth doesn’t just affect your smile: it changes how you talk, how you eat, how you interact with others… and even how you feel about yourself.

Many people believe that when tooth loss is extensive, there are no real or lasting solutions… or that the ones that do exist are too expensive or complicated.

The reality is quite different: today there is an advanced, effective, and personalized solution that allows for the restoration of an entire dental arch without the need for individual implants. This solution is what we know as All-on-X, a modern concept in dental implants that adapts to each patient.

What exactly is All-on-X?

“All-on-X” is a broad term that refers to a complete oral rehabilitation technique in which a fixed full denture is supported by several dental implants strategically placed in the maxilla or mandible.

The “X” represents the number of implants used, which can vary depending on each person’s needs:

All-on-4: 4 implants

All-on-5: 5 implants

All-on-6: 6 implants

All-on-7, All-on-8, or more: when required by anatomy

👉 It is a more flexible and personalized option than the traditional standard All-on-4.

This approach allows a full arch of fixed teeth to be supported by a number of implants tailored to your specific bone conditions and chewing function.

What does this mean for you?

Unlike removable dentures that can shift or cause discomfort, All-on-X offers a fixed, stable prosthesis designed to make your new teeth look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

This has real benefits such as:

🍽️ Better chewing and speaking function

😊 More natural aesthetics and a harmonious smile

🚫 No adhesives or prosthesis movement

💪 Stable support even with moderate bone loss

How do you decide how many implants I need?

The honest (and correct) answer is: it depends on you.

There is no one-size-fits-all formula, and that is precisely what makes All-on-X so special.

Before deciding how many implants will be placed (4, 5, 6, or more), your case is carefully evaluated through:

✔️ Clinical and radiographic evaluation

The quantity and quality of your bone, your bite, and your dental anatomy are analyzed.

✔️ Personalized diagnosis

3D digital planning is used to determine how many implants and in what position they will provide the best support.

✔️ Functional and aesthetic goals

Your lifestyle, chewing strength, and aesthetic expectations are taken into account.

📌 That’s why at Dental Lux, each treatment is unique and tailored to you, not “off the shelf.”

All-on-4, All-on-6, and other variants: what is the difference?

All-on-4: uses 4 implants to support a complete arch. It is ideal for cases where there is a good amount of bone and allows for less invasive surgery.

All-on-6 (or other variants): uses 6 or more implants to provide greater stability, especially when bone density is lower or additional support is required.

Customized All-on-X: may use more than 6 implants depending on the diagnosis, always with the aim of maximizing durability and function.

Each option seeks to maximize stability, function, and aesthetics, and the choice depends on a detailed clinical analysis.

What are the advantages of All-on-X treatment?

🦷 1. Complete restoration with fewer implants

Instead of implanting a screw for each tooth, All-on-X allows you to restore a complete arch with fewer implants, placed strategically.

⚡ 2. Results in less time

In many cases, a temporary prosthesis can be placed on the same day as the surgery, which means you can smile functionally again quickly.

💪 3. More comfort and stability

Fixed teeth supported by implants eliminate the instability and need for adhesives that removable prostheses often have.

🧠 4. Bone preservation

Implants stimulate the bone and help maintain facial structure, preventing the progressive deterioration that occurs with missing teeth.

• Have lost several or all of their teeth

• Have uncomfortable removable dentures
