Common Questions About All-on-X Implants: Clear Answers for Informed Decisions
When considering dental implants, it’s natural to have questions and concerns—especially about your eligibility, health conditions, recovery, or finances. At Coldy Dent, we believe that honest, detailed communication is key to helping our patients feel prepared and supported. Below, we address some of the most frequent concerns raised by individuals exploring All-on-X treatment.
“I’ve been told I don’t have enough bone”
Many patients come to us believing they’re not candidates for implants due to limited bone volume. In reality, the All-on-X method is often suitable for individuals with reduced bone density, thanks to its strategic use of angled implant placement. This approach allows us to make the most of available bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafting.
In more complex cases, where significant bone loss has occurred, we carefully assess whether targeted bone grafting or alternative implant positioning would improve long-term outcomes. Dr. Ivchev’s experience with advanced cases enables us to tailor solutions to a wide range of anatomical challenges.
“I have health conditions like diabetes”
Chronic conditions such as diabetes don’t automatically rule out implant treatment. The key factor is stability and control. Well-managed diabetes, for example, can be safely accommodated with appropriate planning and communication with your healthcare providers.
At Coldy Dent, we take the time to understand your full medical history and assess any factors that may influence healing or treatment outcomes. If needed, we coordinate with your general physician to ensure a multidisciplinary approach, adapting your care plan to promote safety and success.
“I’m worried about the surgery”
Surgical anxiety is one of the most common concerns we hear—and one we take very seriously. Our approach is designed to create a calm, supportive experience from start to finish.
We walk you through every step of the process beforehand, explain what you can expect, and offer individualized anesthesia or sedation options based on your preferences and needs. Thanks to minimally invasive techniques and meticulous planning, recovery is typically smooth—and many patients are surprised by how manageable the post-operative period is.
“I’m concerned about the cost”
We understand that financial considerations are an important part of any major health decision. All-on-X represents a meaningful investment in your long-term comfort, function, and confidence—but it’s also important that the path to treatment feels realistic and transparent.
At Coldy Dent, we provide detailed cost estimates with no hidden fees. Our team is happy to discuss phased treatment plans and financing options where applicable. We’re committed to helping you explore all available options so you can make the decision that’s right for you—clinically and financially.
