All-on-x Dental Implants with Dr. Daniel Min — Upper East Side Prosthodontist Serving All Manhattan and New York City

Why Choose Dr. Min for All-on-X Dental Implants

  • Columbia-trained prosthodontist leading full-arch implant planning, occlusion, and esthetics.
  • Award-winning precision + Army Reserve discipline: clear timelines, risks, and maintenance—no surprises.
  • Team-based surgery with trusted implant surgeons for complex anatomy or graftless solutions.
  • Digital workflow (CBCT, facial scan, surgical guides): safer surgery, accurate bite, beautiful long-term results.

What “All-on-X” Means

A full-arch, fixed bridge supported by 4–6 implants (the “X”) to replace all missing/failed teeth on the upper or lower jaw. You leave with non-removable provisional teeth the day of surgery in most cases, then upgrade to a precision final bridge after healing.

Who It’s For

  • Multiple failing teeth, extensive decay, or advanced periodontal disease.
  • Loose, uncomfortable dentures—want a fixed, confident bite.
  • Severe wear or bite collapse needing a full-arch reset.
  • Previous bone loss where graftless, angulated-implant strategies may work.

Treatment Paths We Provide

  • All-on-4 / All-on-5 / All-on-6: customized to bone quality and bite forces.
  • Same-Day Teeth (Immediate Load): provisional fixed bridge placed if stability criteria are met.
  • Graftless Solutions (when appropriate): posterior tilt, stackable guides; grafting options when needed.
  • Hybrid Materials: long-span PMMA provisionals → final zirconia, nano-ceramic, or titanium-reinforced options.

The Process at a Glance

  1. Consultation & CBCT – 3D scan, photos, bite analysis, and smile design. You’ll get a written plan with phases, costs, and alternatives.
  2. Records & Try-In – Digital impressions, face scan, and test setup to preview tooth shape/length and speech.
  3. Guided Surgery Day – Extractions (if needed) → implants placed with a surgical guide → same-day fixed provisional bridge secured.
  4. Healing & Checkpoints (3–6 months) – Soft-tissue maturation and osseointegration. Dietary and hygiene coaching; bite checks as you adapt.
  5. Definitive Bridge – Precise digital bite records → final esthetic bridge fabricated and delivered with maintenance plan.

What You’ll Notice

  • A stable, fixed bite for confident eating and speaking.
  • Natural smile esthetics and lip support tailored to your face.
  • Less bulk than dentures, no adhesive, easier daily routine.
  • Predictable hygiene with the right tools and schedule.

Healing & What to Expect

  • Mild swelling 2–4 days; many resume light work in 2–3 days.
  • Soft diet while implants heal; avoid biting hard foods on the bridge.
  • Meticulous but gentle cleaning under the bridge with a water flosser/superfloss as instructed.
  • Follow scheduled bite/cleaning checks—they protect your investment.

Risks & How We Minimize Them

  • Implant non-integration or bridge complications (uncommon with proper planning).
  • Temporary numbness, swelling, or speech adaptation.
  • Higher risks with smoking/uncontrolled diabetes or bruxism—your plan includes risk-reduction (nightguard, phased load, maintenance).

Comfort, Cost & Insurance

  • Local anesthesia with optional sedation; clear home-care kit and written instructions.
  • Transparent, itemized estimates with phased options (extractions, implants, provisionals, final bridge).
  • Many PPO plans pay benefits for extractions, grafts, or parts of the prosthesis; coverage varies. Our team verifies and files claims.

Maintenance Essentials

  • Professional cleanings and implant checks every 3–4 months the first year, then customized.
  • Nightguard if you clench/grind.
  • Home care: soft brush, water flosser, superfloss/under-bridge brushes, antimicrobial rinse as directed.

Aftercare Checklist (First 2 Weeks)

  • Sleep with head elevated for 48 hours; use cold compresses day 1, then moist heat if needed.
  • Soft, cool foods; no straws and avoid very hot beverages early on.
  • Do not remove the provisional bridge; call if anything feels loose.
  • Take medications exactly as prescribed and keep every follow-up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get teeth the same day?
In most cases, yes—a fixed provisional is delivered if implant stability meets criteria. Final bridge follows after healing.

How long do All-on-X results last?
With healthy gums, cleanings, and bite protection, implants can last for many years. Final bridges may need periodic refresh or repair depending on material and habits.

Do I need bone grafts?
Often not. Angulated posterior implants can avoid grafting; when needed, Dr. Min coordinates targeted grafts for ideal esthetics and longevity.

What if I already wear dentures?
You’re a common candidate. We can convert to a guided, fixed solution using your facial references and smile goals.
