Does Any of This Sound Familiar?
If you recognized yourself in that list, know that a permanent solution exists. You deserve a smile that works as hard as you do.
What Happens When You Wait?
Bone loss speeds up
Every month without implants, the jawbone continues to shrink, making future treatment more complex.
Fewer options remain
As bone density decreases over time, some patients no longer qualify for standard implant placement.
Treatment costs rise
The longer tooth loss goes unaddressed, the more preparatory work may be needed before implants can be placed.
Daily life gets harder
Avoiding meals, muffling your laugh, and skipping gatherings becomes the new normal without a solution.
Facial structure shifts
Continued bone loss reshapes the lower face, affecting how you look and feel over months and years.
Denture problems compound
Ill-fitting appliances create sore spots and frustration that worsen as the jawbone changes shape beneath them.
Acting now leads to a simpler path, better outcomes, and a smile you can enjoy sooner.
What Are All-On-X Dental Implants?
All-On-X is a full-arch restoration system that replaces an entire upper or lower set of teeth using four to six dental implants anchored directly into the jawbone. The implants are strategically angled to take advantage of available bone, which means many patients skip the need for bone grafting entirely. The final result is a fixed prosthetic arch of teeth that stays in place, functions like natural teeth, and does not come out.
At The Smile Company, our approach to All-On-X dental implants in Greenville, SC combines 3D imaging and precise surgical planning to customize every detail before a single implant is placed. Dr. Jacob has placed implants for over three decades, and our in-house lab allows us to fabricate and fit your restoration with a level of quality control you simply cannot get elsewhere.
Which All-On-X Option Is Right for You?
| Factor | All-On-4 | All-On-6 |
|---|---|---|
| Ideal candidate | Good bone density, full arch loss | Reduced bone density, needs more support |
| Number of implants | 4 implants per arch | 6 implants per arch |
| Bone grafting needed | Rarely required | Rarely required |
| Stability level | Excellent | Maximum |

Is All-On-X Right for You?
Not Sure If You Qualify?
What to Expect with All-On-X Dental Implants
Consultation and Planning
You will meet with Dr. Jacob for a thorough evaluation of your oral health, bone structure, and goals. Using 3D imaging, we capture precise measurements of your jaw so that implant placement can be planned with accuracy before anything is done. You will leave this appointment knowing exactly what to expect.
Tooth Removal and Implant Placement
On your treatment day, any remaining failing teeth are removed and four to six implants are placed during the same appointment. IV sedation is available for patients who prefer a fully relaxed experience. Dr. Jacob and our team work carefully so you feel only pressure, not pain, throughout the process.
Temporary Arch Placement
Before you leave our office, a temporary prosthetic arch is secured to your implants so you walk out with a functional, natural-looking smile the same day. This temporary set allows you to eat and speak comfortably while your implants go through the healing process.
Healing and Integration
Over the following three to six months, the implants fuse with your jawbone through a natural process that creates a permanent, stable foundation. We monitor your progress at follow-up visits and are available throughout this phase for any questions.
Final Arch Placement
Once full integration is confirmed, your custom-fabricated final arch is placed. Designed and crafted in our in-house lab, your permanent prosthesis is built to look, feel, and function like natural teeth for decades to come.

Your All-On-X Recovery: What to Expect
First 24-48 Hours
Some swelling and mild soreness around the treated areas is completely normal and expected. Rest, soft foods, and any over-the-counter or prescribed comfort medication will keep you comfortable. Most patients find the first two days easier than they anticipated, particularly with IV sedation carrying over into a relaxed recovery start.
First 1-2 Weeks
Swelling continues to reduce and soft-tissue healing progresses steadily. You will stick to softer foods during this period, but your temporary arch means you are still eating and functioning with teeth. Most patients return to regular daily routines within a few days of treatment.
Long-Term Healing
The implants continue integrating with the jawbone over three to six months. This phase involves no discomfort for most patients. Follow-up visits allow us to confirm everything is progressing on schedule and make any adjustments needed before your final arch is placed.
