At a Glance: All-on-X Dental Implants at Beveridge Dental

  • Who it’s for: adults missing most or all teeth, facing several failing teeth, or wearing dentures that slip.
  • How it works: four to six implants anchor one fixed bridge of about 12 teeth that only your dentist can remove.
  • Surgery day: a partner oral surgeon places the implants, and you leave with fixed temporary teeth.
  • Final teeth: a zirconia bridge goes in after 3 to 6 months of healing.
  • Cost: typically $20,000 to $35,000 per arch, with financing and a free consultation and CT scan for new patients.

Who Is a Good Candidate for All-on-X Dental Implants?

Patients come to our San Jose office for All-on-X after:

  • Wearing dentures that slip, click, or rub no matter how much adhesive they use
  • Being told several failing teeth need to come out because of decay, cracks, or gum disease
  • Losing bone under an old denture that no longer fits the way it used to
  • Avoiding foods they love because chewing hurts or teeth move

The back implants in an All-on-4 case go in at an angle, which lets them reach denser bone and often avoids bone grafting. Uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, and active gum disease need to be managed first, but none of them rule you out on their own. Our gum disease treatment can get your gums ready, and the CT scan at your first visit shows how much bone you have.

What Are All-on-X Dental Implants and How Do They Work?

All-on-4, All-on-6 & Full Mouth Dental Implants in San Jose

All-on-X is a full-arch treatment where four to six titanium implants hold one fixed bridge of about 12 teeth. The implants fuse with the jawbone through osseointegration, the process where bone grows onto the implant surface, so the new teeth chew like natural ones.

The “X” is the number of implants. Your bone volume decides whether you need four, five, or six. Small connectors called multi-unit abutments sit on top of the implants, and the bridge screws onto them. Only your dentist can remove it. Because one bridge replaces every tooth in the arch, All-on-X is also called full-arch dental implants, whole mouth implants, or a fixed implant bridge. Our dental implants in San Jose page explains how a single implant works.

All-on-4 Dental Implants

  • Four implants support a full arch of teeth
  • Angled back implants often avoid bone grafting
  • Common choice for the lower jaw

  • A backup if one implant ever has a problem
  • Chosen case by case from your CT scan

Why Choose Beveridge Dental

For All-on-X Dental Implants in San Jose?

Three Generations of Family Dentistry

The Beveridge family has cared for San Jose smiles for more than 50 years. Dr. Stephen Beveridge has practiced here since 1993, and Dr. Erin now practices alongside him.

Advanced 3D CT Scan Planning

Every All-on-X plan starts with a 3D CT scan of your jaw that shows exactly how much bone you have, so your implant positions and new smile are mapped out before surgery day.

Zirconia Final Bridge on Every Case

Your permanent teeth are milled from zirconia, the same high-strength ceramic used for crowns. It resists chipping and staining far better than acrylic under years of daily chewing.

“The staff at Beveridge Dental go above and beyond to satisfy their patients needs. Everyone is so friendly and personable. It says a lot about the business when every time you go in for a visit they have some new and updated technology and that they’ve taken the time to improve their education. You will not be disappointed if you make them your choice for dental care!”

Good to Know: Fixed vs. Removable

All-on-X vs. Snap-In Denture Implants

All-on-X is fixed. A snap-in denture is removable: it clips onto two to four implants and comes out at night for cleaning. Snap-in dentures cost less and still stop the slipping, and they are covered on our denture implants in San Jose page.

All-on-4: fixed bridge, stays in

  • Stays in, only your dentist removes it
  • No plate over the roof of your mouth
  • The stronger bite of the two options

Snap-in denture: removable, clips onto implants

  • Comes out at night for cleaning
  • Lower cost than a fixed bridge
  • Needs fewer implants, usually two to four

Both options slow the bone loss that traditional dentures allow.

What Happens During All-on-X Treatment in San Jose?

All-on-X treatment takes about 3 to 6 months from surgery to final teeth. Beveridge Dental plans the smile, a partner oral surgeon places the implants, and you leave that day with fixed temporary teeth. The final zirconia bridge goes in after healing.

If dental visits make you anxious, ask about sedation dentistry for appointments in our office.

  • Consultation and CT scan at Beveridge Dental: Dr. Stephen or Dr. Erin checks your teeth, gums, and bite and takes a CT scan to map your bone. You get a written plan and cost before anything starts.
  • Smile design: You and your dentist pick the shape, shade, and length of your new teeth. That design guides both the temporary and the final bridge.
  • Surgery day with our oral surgeon partner: We book your surgery with our experienced partner oral surgeon and send over your plan. The surgeon handles any tooth extractions and places the implants in one visit, usually under IV sedation. You leave the same day with fixed temporary teeth.
  • Healing: Over the next 3 to 6 months the implants fuse with your jaw. You stick to softer foods at first and come in for check-ins.
  • Final zirconia teeth: Once the implants are stable, we place your permanent zirconia bridge. Zirconia is a dense ceramic that holds up to chewing and stains far less than acrylic.
  • Maintenance: You see us for cleanings and exams, and we remove the bridge periodically to clean underneath.

How Much Do All-on-X Dental Implants Cost in San Jose?

A traditional denture usually needs a reline or replacement every 5 to 8 years because the jaw keeps shrinking under it. All-on-X implants are built to last decades. Dental insurance often covers part of the extractions, implants, or bridge, and our team checks your benefits for you. Payment plans are listed on our financing and insurance options page.

All-on-X Dental Implants FAQs

All-on-4 dental implants in San Jose typically cost $20,000 to $35,000 per arch. The total depends on extractions, bone grafting, and how many arches you treat. Beveridge Dental gives an itemized estimate at your free consultation and offers financing.

All-on-4 uses exactly four implants per arch, while All-on-X covers four, five, six, or more. Extra implants spread the bite and help in the softer bone of the upper jaw. Your CT scan decides the number.

All-on-X is more stable than dentures and needs no adhesive, because the teeth are fixed to implants in the jaw. It also helps preserve jawbone, which a denture resting on the gums cannot do. Dentures cost less up front, and our dentures in San Jose page covers those options.

Most patients feel pressure but no pain during All-on-X surgery because it is done under IV sedation or anesthesia. Soreness and swelling for three to five days afterward are normal and usually managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

All-on-X implants are designed to last 20 years or more, often for life, with good home care and regular cleanings. The zirconia bridge typically lasts 15 to 20 years before it needs replacing.

Many patients with bone loss can still get All-on-X. The angled back implants reach denser bone and often avoid grafting. A CT scan shows exactly how much bone you have to work with.

Dental insurance often covers part of full mouth dental implants, usually the extractions or a portion of the bridge. Few plans cover the whole cost. Our team checks your benefits and walks you through financing options.

Yes, many All-on-X patients are long-time denture wearers. The fixed bridge is made new so the fit and bite are right on the implants, and your CT scan shows whether bone loss under the old denture changes the plan. Bring your current denture to your consultation.

You brush full-arch dental implants twice a day like natural teeth and clean under the bridge with a water flosser. Regular cleaning visits, where we remove the bridge and clean underneath, keep the implants and gums healthy.

The All-on-X process takes about 3 to 6 months from surgery to final zirconia teeth. You wear fixed temporary teeth the whole time. Cases that need bone grafting take longer.
