All-on-X dental implants replace a full arch of missing or failing teeth with a permanent, fixed bridge anchored on the exact number of titanium implants your jaw needs, usually four to six. At Periovital Clinic in Tijuana, board-trained periodontist Dr. Ilse Lugo plans every case in 3D and places the implants with computer-guided surgery, so most patients walk out the same day with a fixed temporary bridge and full chewing function.
What is All-on-X?
All-on-X is the umbrella name for full-arch implant restorations, including All-on-4 and All-on-6, where a single arch of teeth is supported by however many implants your bone and bite actually require. Unlike a denture, the bridge is screwed onto the implants and never removed: it looks, feels and functions like natural teeth. The "X" simply means the implant count is chosen for your case rather than forced into a one-size-fits-all formula.
All-on-X vs. All-on-4 and All-on-6
All-on-4 uses four implants and All-on-6 uses six. All-on-X lets Dr. Lugo select between them, or place more where the bone allows, to give you the most stable, long-lasting result. Patients with good bone volume often do well on four; those rebuilding from advanced bone loss or a failed bridge may benefit from six or zygomatic implants. The decision is made from your 3D CBCT scan, not a sales script.
Benefits of All-on-X dental implants
- Fixed, not removable: a permanent bridge you brush like real teeth, with no adhesives or nightly soaking.
- Teeth the same day: you leave surgery with a fixed temporary bridge, never without teeth.
- Preserves jawbone: implants stimulate the bone the way natural roots do, preventing the sunken look of long-term denture wear.
- Premium materials: a final monolithic zirconia bridge built in our in-house lab for strength and a natural shade.
- Up to 70% less than US pricing: the same digital, US-standard protocols, minutes from the San Diego border.
Am I a candidate for All-on-X?
Most adults missing several teeth, facing multiple extractions, or struggling with loose dentures are candidates for All-on-X. Dr. Lugo evaluates your bone volume, gum health and bite with a 3D CBCT scan before recommending anything. Patients with diabetes, smokers, and those told they 'don't have enough bone' elsewhere often still qualify, sometimes with a sinus lift, bone graft or zygomatic implants, and you will know for certain after the scan at your free consultation.
How much does All-on-X cost in Tijuana?
All-on-X at Periovital Clinic costs well below US and Canadian averages, with most cross-border patients saving 50 to 70% versus quotes back home. Because the implant count and final materials vary by case, you receive an itemized written quote at your free consultation, including the 3D scan and a same-day temporary bridge, with no upsell and no surprises. Itemized receipts are provided for FSA and HSA submission.
