All-On-X Dental Implants in Northern Virginia

With IV Sedation & General Anesthesia

Living with missing teeth or loose dentures can affect everything — eating, speaking, and feeling confident in public. Dentures that shift or rub can cause pain, embarrassment, and constant frustration.

All-on-X implant dentures offer a stable, fixed solution that replaces a full arch of teeth and stays securely in place.

At NOVA Dental Anesthesia in Burke, we provide full-arch implant care in a sedation-focused environment, using IV sedation or general anesthesia to make treatment calm, controlled, and comfortable from start to finish.

We proudly serve patients throughout Northern Virginia, including Burke, Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Falls Church, Vienna, Woodbridge, Chantilly, Ashburn, and Loudoun County.

What Are All-on-X Implant Dentures?

All-on-X implant dentures use four to six dental implants to support a full set of fixed teeth. The implants act like tooth roots and hold a permanent bridge in place.

These teeth:

  • Do not come out
  • Stay secure while eating and speaking
  • Look and feel closer to natural teeth

You may also hear this called All-on-X (All-On-4) or full-arch dental implants. The “X” simply means the number of implants is customized to your bone structure and health.

Each case is carefully planned using 3D imaging so implant placement is precise, safe, and long-lasting.

Why Patients Choose All-on-X Over Dentures

Traditional dentures rest on the gums and rely on suction or adhesives. Over time, they often loosen, cause sore spots, and limit what you can eat.

All-on-X implant dentures are different:

  • They are anchored in bone, not gums
  • They don’t slip or move
  • They eliminate messy adhesives
  • They provide a stronger, more natural bite

Implants also help slow jawbone loss, which can support facial structure and reduce the sunken appearance that often develops with long-term denture use.

Who May Be a Good Candidate?

All-on-X implant dentures may be an option if you:

  • Are missing most or all of your teeth
  • Have teeth that cannot be saved
  • Wear dentures but struggle with fit or comfort
  • Have difficulty managing removable dentures
  • Want a fixed, long-term solution

Patients with anxiety, gag reflexes, special needs, or complex medical histories often choose care here because of our sedation-focused approach.

Every patient is evaluated individually to ensure treatment is safe and appropriate.

Sedation & Anesthesia for Full-Arch Implants

Full-arch implant treatment involves surgery, which can be stressful for many patients. That’s why sedation and anesthesia are built into our care.

Depending on your needs, we offer:

  • IV sedation for deep relaxation with little memory of the procedure
  • General anesthesia for complete unconsciousness during surgery

All anesthesia care is overseen by Dr. Wissam Ali, a certified dentist anesthesiologist with advanced hospital-based training. Your breathing, heart rate, and comfort are continuously monitored throughout treatment.

What to Expect

Consultation
We begin by learning about your dental goals, health history, and concerns. Advanced 3D imaging allows us to plan your implants precisely and explain your options clearly.

Preparation
If needed, we address infections, remove damaged teeth, or prepare bone before implant placement. Temporary teeth are planned so you’re never without a smile.

Implant Placement
On surgery day, sedation or general anesthesia is used while implants are placed. Most patients remember little to nothing about the procedure.

Healing & Final Teeth
Over the following months, implants bond with the bone. Once healed, your permanent fixed bridge is placed and adjusted for comfort, function, and appearance.

Life with Implant-Supported Teeth

All-on-X implant dentures allow you to:

  • Eat a wider range of foods
  • Speak clearly and confidently
  • Smile without worrying about movement

Daily care involves brushing and cleaning under the bridge with specialized tools. We guide you on maintenance and schedule regular follow-ups to protect your investment.

With proper care, implants can last for decades.

Common Questions

Will I be without teeth during healing?
In most cases, a temporary set of teeth is placed the same day as surgery.

Will I feel pain during the procedure?
No. With IV sedation or general anesthesia and local numbing, patients do not feel pain during surgery.

What if I was told I’m not a candidate elsewhere?
Many patients come to us for second opinions. We regularly treat anxious and medically complex patients and coordinate with physicians when needed.
