A fixed, full-arch replacement for failing teeth or loose dentures — placed by AAID-trained doctors, minutes from Woodbridge in our Colonia office.
If you’re managing with loose dentures, or your remaining teeth in Woodbridge have finally reached the point where saving them no longer makes sense, All-on-X offers a permanent alternative. Four to eight titanium implants anchor a full arch of fixed teeth in a single surgical visit — no adhesives, no nightly removal, and no slipping while you eat or talk.
At Colonia Dental Associates, Dr. Ashlee N. Apratim, D.M.D., and Dr. Gurjinder Singh, D.M.D., are both Associate Fellows of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry who treat full-arch cases as their specialty rather than a referral out. Woodbridge patients reach our Colonia office in about 10 minutes.
All-on-X gets its name from the variable number of implants — four, six, or eight — used to anchor a full arch. The rear implants are placed at a 30 to 45 degree angle, which lets the surgeon reach denser bone toward the front of the jaw, where volume typically survives even after significant tooth loss. That angled approach is why most Woodbridge patients qualify without a bone graft, even after being told elsewhere that they didn’t have enough bone for implants.
A temporary bridge is screwed onto the implants the same day as surgery, so you leave with functional teeth rather than a gap or a temporary denture. Over the following three to six months, the bone fuses to the implant posts through a process called osseointegration, and once that’s confirmed, we deliver your final zirconia or high-strength acrylic arch.
The right configuration for a Woodbridge patient comes down to bone density, bite force, and how much of the arch needs support. All-on-4 is the standard for moderate bone loss and rarely requires grafting. All-on-6 suits wider arches or patients who want extra support for a heavier bite. All-on-8 is reserved for more advanced bone loss where maximum stability is the priority. Dr. Apratim and Dr. Singh confirm which configuration fits your case using 3D cone beam CT imaging at your consultation — not a guess from a panoramic X-ray.
Treatment starts with a 3D cone beam CT scan that maps your bone volume, sinus position, and nerve locations across the whole arch — the data that drives the surgical guide used on procedure day. Any remaining failing teeth are removed, the implants are placed, and a temporary fixed arch goes on before you leave, all in one appointment.
Over the next three to six months, the implants integrate with your jawbone. We check in throughout healing, and once integration is confirmed, your final prosthesis is fabricated and delivered. Most Woodbridge patients are back to light activity within two to three days of surgery.
All-on-X is built for patients in Woodbridge who are missing most or all of their teeth in an arch, or whose remaining teeth are too decayed, loose, or broken to save. Good general health, without uncontrolled systemic disease, is the main requirement — and because the angled implant design works around bone loss, many patients who were told they didn’t qualify for traditional implants still qualify here without grafting.
Periodontal disease, moderate bone loss, and well-controlled diabetes rarely rule a patient out permanently, though they may call for some pre-treatment first. Heavy tobacco use is the most common reason we recommend cessation before moving forward, since it raises the risk of implant failure. Dr. Apratim and Dr. Singh review your CBCT imaging, medical history, and bite before presenting a treatment plan.
All-on-X is a meaningful investment, and we file insurance claims on your behalf so any out-of-network PPO benefits apply toward the cost. Cherry financing offers 24-month 0% interest for qualified patients, and we also accept CareCredit. Every case is priced individually based on the number of implants and the prosthetic material chosen, and you’ll receive a full written estimate at your consultation before committing to anything.
