Losing teeth to decay or injuries can impact your smile, self-esteem, and daily life. If you have a few or more teeth missing, All-on-X implants may offer a good solution. At NKC Dental, our dentists in North Kansas City, MO, and Westwood, KS, provide this treatment to help patients replace multiple teeth more strategically and cost-effectively than separate implants. But how many appointments are involved?

Consultation Visit

The whole process begins with a consultation, so we can consider certain factors, such as how much jawbone you have and how many teeth are missing. We also consider your health, since implant surgery is invasive and requires careful healing.

Implant Post Insertion

If you’re a good candidate, your first visit after the consultation will be when we place anywhere from four to eight posts in your jawbone.

Healing Phase

All-on-X implants in Westwood, KS, and North Kansas City, MO, require full healing after posts are inserted. This may take several weeks or even months. We may have you come in for a visit if we need to check to see how your jaw is healing.

Teeth Replacement Appointment

Once your jaw heals, you’ll come in for your artificial teeth. We place crowns or other restorations on the posts to replace missing teeth. Our dentists will make sure they fit properly.

Follow-Up Visits

We may ask you to come in for one or more follow-up appointments to evaluate your implants and restorations.
