About ESTEEM All-On-X Dental Implants Implant-Supported Full Arch Dentures
The ESTEEM system is a smarter method of placing implants that allows dentists to support a full arch restoration using just a few carefully placed dental implants. You won't need one implant per tooth - only as many as you need to keep your denture stable. Digital imaging can help us plan optimal implant position along the bone of the upper or lower jaw. Thanks to ESTEEM dental implants, a mouth can be fully rehabilitated, with a stability comparable to natural tooth roots.
Implant-Supported Dentures
ESTEEM implant-supported dentures bring missing tooth treatment to the next level. The "X" in "All-On-X" refers to the number of implants used. Each patient is different, so we'll use the right amount of implants for you to ensure a strong, healthy bite to support a natural-looking restoration.
Durable Custom Restorations
Long-lasting materials are used to create a custom appliance that fits comfortably along the upper or lower dental arch. Although all restorations must be replaced over time, these sturdy dentures are resistant to chips and cracks and can last for a decade or more with proper care.
Numerous Patient Benefits
The strategically placed ESTEEM implants anchor a denture in place while you are biting, chewing, and speaking. They also help prevent bone loss and gum recession, two common health problems caused by missing teeth. Additionally, the teeth and gumline look natural.
Candidates for ESTEEM Dental Implants Ideal All-On-X Tooth Replacement Patients
Many patients qualify for ESTEEM dental implants. The All-On-X process allows us to help plenty of adults who are living with tooth loss so they can feel like they still have their natural teeth.
Extensive Tooth Loss
ESTEEM implants are ideal for people who have lost most or all of their teeth. Full implant-supported dentures can be used to replace the upper or lower teeth.Sufficient Bone Density
In order to enjoy successful results, patients must have enough healthy jawbone structure in which to anchor the implants. This allows implant posts to remain fully secured following oral surgery.Healthy Gums
Patients should have healthy gum tissue in order to reduce the risk of implant failure and post-op infections. Like the All-On-4 method, periodontal disease and gum recession must be treated before getting implants.Realistic Expectations
Before getting ESTEEM dental implants, we'll go over the risks, benefits, and costs associated with All-On-X treatment. Realistic expectations result in better patient satisfaction.Speak to Dentists Committed to Your Health State-of-the-Art Restorative Dental Care

View On FacebookThe ESTEEM All-On-X Procedure A Dental Implants Treatment Timeline
From the initial consultation to placing the finished implant restoration, the ESTEEM process typically takes a few months to complete. This general treatment timeline will give patients an idea of what to expect during the procedure.
Initial Consultation
ESTEEM implants are ideal for people who have lost most or all of their teeth.
Assessing Candidacy
During your initial visit, we will note any problems that affect ESTEEM implant candidacy, such as bone loss or gum disease. We will also discuss your dental health goals.
Planning Implant Placement
We take high-quality dental impressions using i-CAT™ and an intraoral scanner. Advanced software determines the ideal position and number of implants needed.
Dental Implant Surgery
Remaining teeth can be removed and implants placed into the bone structure on the same day. A provisional bridge may be provided the same day of surgery as well.
Osseointegration
In the three to six months after surgery, the dental implants will fuse with the bone. This is known as osseointegration, and is crucial for the success of ESTEEM implant treatment.
Crafting the Denture
The permanent custom appliance is crafted at an off-site dental lab using the latest materials available. Great care is taken to ensure the durability and seamless aesthetics of your replacement teeth
Final Denture Placement
When osseointegration is completed, patients return to the practice for the completed restoration. It's checked one last time for fit before it is finally snapped into place.
Sedation Options For ESTEEM All-On-X Dental Implant Surgery
Our practice offers sedation options that allow patients to feel comfortable undergoing All-On-X dental implant surgery and a host of other procedures. Some patients have their dental implants placed under a local anesthetic and oral sedation.
Others opt for the stronger alternative — intravenous (IV) sedation. IV sedation lets patients with dental anxiety take control of their oral health with confidence. Dr. Goldin is certified in IV sedation and will be happy to consult you on options that make the most sense for your circumstances.

View On FacebookRecovery After Dental Implant Surgery
While the ESTEEM All-On-X method can be less invasive than traditional implant surgery or the All-On-4 method, there are a few simple ways to ease your recovery process.
Rest during the early phase of recovery helps to ensure your jawbone and gum tissue heal properly. Consider taking a few days off of work after getting ESTEEM All-On-X implants, especially if your job involves strenuous physical labor.
Stick to soft foods until your dentist says you can reintroduce solids to your diet. You should avoid hard or crunchy food until your implants have completely fused to the bone and your gums have healed.
ESTEEM All-On-X implants can be cared for just like your natural teeth. However, immediately following your procedure, you should avoid direct contact with the surgical site and use a soft bristle toothbrush.
Long-Term ESTEEM Dental Implant Results Implant Aftercare and Advice
Thanks to ESTEEM All-On-X implants, a patient's smile looks just like new. To maintain the positive results for as long as possible, patients should follow instructions for proper aftercare and good oral hygiene.
Even if you do not have any natural teeth remaining, it's still important to keep your gums, mouth, and implants clean. Be sure to clean your mouth at least twice a day to remove food particles and oral bacteria.
Cigarettes and chewing tobacco increase the risk of gum disease and infection of the tissue around the dental implants (peri-implantitis). ESTEEM dental implant treatment is a great motivation to kick the habit for good.
In addition to follow-up visits to monitor your dental implants, continue to visit our practice every six months for cleanings and checkups. Preventative care is just as crucial for long-term dental health and success.
Paying for ESTEEM All-On-X Dental Implants
The cost of ESTEEM All-On-X dental implants varies depending on our patients’ specific needs. Fortunately, our practice in Troy, MI, accepts most insurances and offers financing through CareCredit® and Lending Club to keep your out-of-pocket costs manageable.

Whether you are waiting for your scheduled appointment or are gearing up to request a consultation to determine if you are a good candidate for All-On-4 or All-On-X implants, our team in Troy understands that you probably have many questions about this treatment.
Having served patients just like you for decades, we have provided answers to some of the most frequently asked questions regarding ESTEEM All-On-X dental implants to help you better understand what to expect.
Will the procedure be painful?
Before your surgery, we provide local anesthesia to numb the treatment area which works to eliminate virtually all pain. For full relaxation and comfort, IV sedation is also available upon request. You can keep any post-op discomfort at bay with over-the-counter (OTC) pain medication, cold compresses, and other solutions. Your dentist will explain what you can expect before your procedure.
Does dental insurance cover ESTEEM All-On-X dental implants?
Dental insurance will most likely contribute to the cost of your denture as well as any preparatory work you need to resolve gum disease, tooth decay, or other issues before your implants. However, basic dental insurance may consider dental implants as a cosmetic procedure and not offer coverage. At any rate, our Troy practice will work with you to maximize the benefits available to you.
How do I take care of my dentures after dental implant surgery?
With ESTEEM All-On-X dental implants, the days of having to remove and soak your dentures are over! Maintaining these implant-supported dentures is no more difficult than looking after your natural teeth. Brush your replacement teeth twice a day, floss daily, and make sure to visit your dentist at least twice a year to check on the health of your teeth and gums.All-On-4 vs. All-On-X What’s the Difference?
Both All-On-4 and All-On-X implants are excellent alternatives to traditional dentures. The most notable distinction between the All-On-4 and All-On-X methods is the number of implants used.
All-On-4 implants use four implants placed at specific locations in the jawbone. However, when a dentist feels that fewer — or more — implants would give a patient a better outcome, they may suggest All-On-X.
Unlike All-On-4, All-On-X accounts for the patient’s particular needs and oral health to help inform the recommended number of implants.
Our experienced dentists in Troy can determine whether you are a good candidate for All-On-4 or All-On-X dental implants. With us, you can rest assured you’ll receive a personalized approach that puts your restoration goals, jaw structure, and dental health at large front and center.
