Full-Mouth Dental Implants - Westminster, CO

Following All-on-X dental implant surgery, you’ll receive functional temporary teeth immediately. However, you must maintain a soft diet initially to promote proper healing. Gradually, as your implants stabilize and your mouth heals, you’ll progressively return to enjoying all your preferred foods.

The national average cost per arch generally ranges from $25,000 to $35,000. Our pricing remains competitive and encompasses everything required for your complete treatment. We advise caution regarding extremely low-cost offers, as these frequently lack proper expertise, materials, and ongoing maintenance for long-term success.

The procedure typically requires 3 to 4 hours per jaw. For a complete mouth treatment (including both upper and lower teeth), expect a longer appointment.

During All-on-X full-mouth dental implant surgery, you’ll be under anesthesia, ensuring you experience no pain during the procedure. Following surgery, some discomfort, swelling, and tenderness are common. We provide pain management instructions and medication to maintain your comfort during recovery

Following an All-on-X treatment, experiencing some discomfort is common. The initial 48 hours after surgery typically involve the most discomfort. However, pain is usually manageable and should decrease over time as healing advances.

Recovery time varies among individuals, depending on factors such as overall health, case complexity, and adherence to postoperative care instructions. Initial healing typically requires several weeks, while complete recovery and adjustment to the new teeth can take several months.

Don’t let one dentist’s opinion discourage you from pursuing All-on-X dental implants. Various implant placement techniques can achieve successful outcomes. The angled placement technique often enables treatment even when patients have been told they lack adequate bone for traditional implants.

Yes! This actually represents the ideal scenario because you’ll have maximum bone volume on the day your teeth are extracted. The All-on-X procedure is specifically designed to provide immediate teeth on the same day as extractions.

No, you don’t need a specialist for All-on-X treatment. Dr. Rojas is a general dentist who has dedicated hundreds of hours to continuing education in implant dentistry. Our doctor continues traveling worldwide to learn the latest techniques in this specialized field, making him fully qualified to perform All-on-X procedures.

Yes! We work with numerous financing companies. Patients wanting to divide their treatment costs into affordable monthly payments can benefit from working with a financing company. The application process is easy and quick, and you’ll receive an immediate decision.

Not always. Bridge attachment timing depends on individual cases and our dentist’s recommendation. Some patients receive immediate loading (same-day attachment), while others may require delayed loading, depending on factors such as implant stability, bone quality, and surgical complexity.

Bleeding after All-on-X is normal and expected during the immediate post-operative period. Bleeding duration and amount typically subside within the first 24 to 48 hours after surgery. If bleeding continues beyond this timeframe or becomes severe, contact our office immediately.

After receiving new teeth through All-on-X, you may need time to adjust and learn proper usage. The adaptation process varies among individuals, but with time, practice, and patience, you should become increasingly comfortable and skilled with your new teeth.

After receiving new teeth through All-on-X, adjustment time may be necessary to become comfortable speaking with them. Some individuals may experience temporary changes in their speech patterns, but most patients adapt relatively quickly and regain normal speech.

Age alone doesn’t determine All-on-X eligibility. The procedure is typically recommended for individuals with multiple missing teeth, severely damaged teeth, or significant tooth loss. Your dentist will evaluate your specific situation and discuss whether All-on-X is appropriate for your circumstances.

Preparing for recovery can help ensure a smoother healing process. Stock up on soft foods, have ice packs ready for swelling, arrange transportation home, take time off work (typically 4-7 days), and fill any prescribed medications before your procedure.

We use high-quality zirconia for your final restoration. Zirconia represents the gold standard material offering exceptional strength, natural appearance, and long-term durability compared to traditional acrylic materials.

When bone quality can achieve sufficient primary stability to meet specific thresholds, implants can be connected to a denture during the healing phase. The denture splints implants together, preventing movement so they will predictably integrate into the bone.

Many people attempt to save money by flying to international clinics. We caution against this because if complications arise—such as denture breakage or implant failure—you want your surgeon to be available to address the issues immediately. Travel abroad can often be more expensive when considering all costs.

No, they don’t. Your All-on-X bridges are rigidly attached to your implants, which are firmly anchored in your jaw. If your All-on-X teeth begin to rock for any reason, please call us immediately for an evaluation.

It’s called “Teeth in a Day” because you receive functional prosthetic temporary teeth in one day. Because significant changes often occur in your mouth during the healing and implant integration process, starting with temporary teeth ensures the best long-term outcome with your permanent teeth.

Yes, your temporary teeth are made of acrylic and can chip, crack, and occasionally break. A significant benefit of acrylic temporaries is their ease of repair. If you experience any issues with your temporaries, just call us, and we’ll address the problem promptly.

While zirconia damage is possible, it’s extremely uncommon. Zirconia ranks among the strongest and most durable materials available in dentistry, making it an excellent choice for long-term restoration.

Unfortunately, no. We cannot use existing implants, and they will likely need to be removed. This is because existing implants may not be positioned correctly for the All-on-4 technique, and the integration with your current prosthesis may not be compatible with our treatment plan.

Yes, food can become trapped underneath the bridges. That’s why we recommend using a Waterpik and proxabrushes daily for cleaning. Proper oral hygiene is essential for maintaining your All-on-X restoration.

Generally, 4-7 days is sufficient. However, bruising and swelling are possible, and you’ll need time to adjust to eating and speaking with your new teeth. Extended time off work provides better conditions for recovery.

Yes, we recommend professional cleaning of your All-on-X teeth at least annually. Regular professional maintenance is crucial for the longevity of your restoration and your overall oral health.

Yes, implants can fail, though it’s uncommon. Several factors contribute to failure, including infection, poor hygiene, underlying medical conditions, smoking, diabetes, and neighboring tooth infections. Following our post-operative instructions is crucial for ensuring successful implant therapy.

Increased saliva production can occur when foreign objects stimulate the salivary response, which is designed to aid in food breakdown. New dentures may trigger this response initially, but don’t worry – your body will adapt and you’ll return to normal saliva production within a few days.

Yes! We offer sedation options tailored to your needs. Oral conscious sedation involves prescription sedative pills, while IV sedation involves intravenous sedative administration for reduced consciousness throughout the procedure.
