SLC All-on-X Implants: Full Smile Process & Results
If you’re dealing with multiple failing teeth, repeated dental emergencies, or dentures that don’t feel secure, All-on-X can be a life-changing option. At Velux Dental SLC, full-arch implant solutions are designed to restore your smile in a timely manner with treatment steps handled under one roof, including preparatory care like extractions, bone grafting, and sedation options when needed.
What “All-on-X” Means
“All-on-X” generally refers to replacing an entire arch of teeth using a strategic number of implants (the “X” varies by your anatomy and plan). The goal is to create a stable foundation for a fixed full-arch restoration—so you can chew, speak, and smile with confidence again. Velux Dental offers full mouth dental implant solutions as part of its comprehensive services in Salt Lake City.
The Velux Dental Approach: Built For Comfort And Efficiency
Velux Dental emphasizes full-mouth tooth loss solutions in one practice setting—helpful because full-arch care often involves several phases that coordinate surgery, comfort options, healing, and final restoration. Their full-mouth implant page highlights a focus on compassionate care and delivering a smooth experience start-to-finish.
Step-By-Step: What The All-on-X Journey Typically Includes
While every case is customized, here’s the general workflow Velux describes across its implant pages:
1) Consultation + Digital Imaging + Personalized Plan
Your process begins with a consultation where your dental and medical history is reviewed, digital X-rays are taken, and a treatment plan is created around your goals.
2) Preparatory Treatment (If Needed)
For some patients, full-arch plans include tooth extractions and bone grafting to support a predictable result. Velux specifically notes implant preparatory treatments such as extractions and bone grafting as part of full-mouth implant care.
3) Surgery With Guided Techniques + Sedation Options
Velux states it uses fully guided techniques for surgeries to support efficient procedures with predictable results and notes patients are resting comfortably under sedation and remain pain-free during surgery.
4) Healing And Follow-Ups
Osseointegration (the implant bonding with bone) takes time. Velux also publishes an implant aftercare timeline guide that outlines a week-by-week recovery mindset—helpful for patients who want realistic expectations and structure during healing.
5) Final Restoration And Long-Term Maintenance
Full-arch restorations are designed for function and aesthetics, but long-term success comes from maintenance: consistent home care plus professional cleanings and follow-ups to keep tissues healthy.
Why Patients Consider All-on-X
All-on-X is often chosen when people want:
- A more stable alternative to removable dentures
- A solution for multiple failing teeth
- A path that consolidates treatment steps into a clear plan
- A modern approach that prioritizes comfort (including sedation) and predictable technique

- Do I need extractions or grafting before implants?
- Will guided surgery be used in my case?
