Implant Dentures/All-on-X in Maspeth, NY

If you are missing most or all of your teeth—or struggling with loose, uncomfortable dentures—you may be a candidate for one of the most advanced tooth replacement options available today: implant-supported dentures, often referred to as All-on-X.

Implant dentures are a life-changing solution for patients who want their teeth to look natural, feel secure, and function more like real teeth. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, implant dentures are anchored to dental implants, providing exceptional stability, comfort, and confidence.

At Fitzsimons & Hagan Dentistry, we offer implant denture solutions designed to restore not just your smile—but your ability to eat, speak, laugh, and live without worry.


Implant Dentures/All-on-X in Maspeth

What Are Implant Dentures?

Implant dentures are full-arch tooth replacement solutions that attach securely to dental implants placed in the jawbone. These implants act like artificial tooth roots, anchoring the denture firmly in place.

Depending on your needs, implant dentures may be:

  • Removable by the patient
  • Removable only by the dentist
  • Fixed (non-removable)

All options provide dramatically more stability than traditional dentures.

What Does “All-on-X” Mean?

“All-on-X” refers to a treatment concept where a full arch of teeth is supported by a strategic number of dental implants—often four, five, or six per arch.

The “X” represents the number of implants used. This approach allows us to:

  • Maximize stability
  • Minimize the number of implants needed
  • Restore a full smile efficiently

All-on-X solutions are carefully planned to take advantage of available bone and deliver predictable, long-term results.

Why Implant Dentures Are So Different from Traditional Dentures

Traditional dentures rely on suction, gravity, or adhesives to stay in place. Implant dentures are fundamentally different.

Traditional Dentures:

  • Can slip or move
  • May require adhesives
  • Limit food choices
  • Can accelerate bone loss
  • Often feel bulky or insecure

Implant Dentures:

  • Are securely anchored
  • Do not rely on adhesives
  • Allow stronger chewing forces
  • Help preserve jawbone
  • Feel far more natural

Many patients describe implant dentures as life-changing.

Eat the Foods You Love Again

One of the biggest frustrations with traditional dentures is difficulty eating.

Implant dentures dramatically improve bite strength, allowing patients to enjoy:

  • Steak
  • Corn on the cob
  • Apples
  • Nuts
  • Crunchy vegetables

Being able to eat confidently isn’t just about enjoyment—it supports better nutrition and overall health.

Who Is a Candidate for Implant Dentures?

You may be a candidate if you:

  • Are missing all or most of your teeth
  • Wear dentures that feel loose or uncomfortable
  • Have failing teeth that need removal
  • Want a more stable, long-term solution

Even patients who have been told they lack sufficient bone may still qualify thanks to modern implant techniques.

The Implant Denture Process

Step 1: Comprehensive Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation, including digital imaging and a discussion of your goals, health, and lifestyle.

Step 2: Treatment Planning
We design a customized plan that determines:

  • Number and placement of implants
  • Type of denture (removable vs fixed)
  • Timeline and sequencing

Step 3: Implant Placement
Dental implants are placed in precise positions to support your new teeth. Many patients are surprised by how comfortable this procedure is.

Step 4: Healing & Integration
Over time, implants integrate with the jawbone, creating a strong foundation.

Step 5: Final Restoration
Your final implant denture is placed, restoring your smile and function.

Fixed vs. Removable Implant Dentures

Fixed Implant Dentures

  • Do not come out
  • Feel most like natural teeth
  • Cleaned similarly to natural teeth

Removable Implant Dentures

  • Snap on and off implants
  • Easier to clean outside the mouth
  • Still extremely stable

We’ll help determine which option best fits your needs.
