Preserve Your Jawbone

All-on-X refers to the number of implants placed per arch. Your dentist may place either four or six, depending on your needs. You'll enjoy all the usual benefits of dental implants - and some additional benefits too. You will:

Spend less time in surgery and experience a quicker healing process
Avoid preparatory procedures like bone grafting, even with a weak jaw
Keep your custom full-arch restorations in place without adhesive
Save money since we use fewer implants per arch
Prevent bone loss in your jaw by stimulating the area with each bite

Your transformation begins with a consultation. We'll determine if you are a good candidate for this dental implant treatment.

Create a Stronger Smile

Your dentist will determine if you are a candidate for All-on-X treatment. We'll evaluate your oral health and jaw strength with 3-D imaging technology. When we're ready to move forward, we will:

Design a custom treatment plan, including the positioning of your implants
Remove any problematic teeth and place your implants at strategic angles in your jaw
Place your temporary teeth and allow your mouth time to heal

The integration of your implants can take several months. During that time, you can smile freely and eat most foods. When your smile is ready, you'll return here to have your temporary teeth replaced by custom restorations. Ready to get started? Schedule a consultation for All-on-X dental implants in Williston.

She and her team are simply wonderful. They are extremely professional and warm in their care. Besides the entire practice being very talented they are a fun bunch. Smiles and jokes are a routine part of the treatment process. And if you are lucky you might meet Dr. Shanard’s dog Enzo who might be the best part of the treatment team. Truly wonderful people who do a fantastic and thorough job. I could not state it any more plainly, this is the best dental practice in Vermont.

This is coming from a HUGE dentist-phobe. To say I get nervous going into a dentist's office, is gigantic understatement. That being said, I had the absolute wonderful fortune to find Dr. Lauren Shanard when I was facing a huge dental crisis. Terrified, I made an appointment...and in I crawled. From the first minute, the staff at Contemporary Dental Arts gently pulled me off the ceiling, and with the utmost compassion and understanding of my high anxiety, Dr Shanard helped me through my initial tough situation. EVERY person in that office, went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and felt safe. As Dr Shanard worked on me, it was clearly evident that she is a highly skilled dentist who pays attention to detail, to make sure the outcome is the very best it can be. Also clear, is that she enjoys her team, and what she does. I am not finished with my oral challenges, but I am BEYOND GRATEFUL that I have Dr. Shannard at the helm, along with all the wonderful women who have been at my side (and hers). I will go nowhere else. Fives stars just aren't enough.

I've been here on multiple occasions. Marie and Dr. Shanard are really great to work with. Marie also always goes above and beyond with communication and accommodating my timeline. To say their quality of work is excellent is an understatement. Thanks!

OK so I was TERRIFIED for my first filling. I’d gone 29 years with zero oral problems and despite my bone-deep horror, I went in for a filling today with Dr. Shanard. WOW was that easy. I didn’t feel the needle or anything she was doing, and Marie held my hand the entire time. I wasn’t... OK so I was TERRIFIED for my first filling.

I was at the beginning of a month long road trip and broke part of a molar. I called over 30 dentists in 2 towns and no one could see me. Even though they were busy, this practice made room for me to come in, and within 30 minutes they fixed my tooth so that I could continue my trip. They were...

They were so nice, professional and competent that I wish they were my permanent dental practice. I thank them so much for helping me in my hour of need. They deserve a higher rating than 5 stars!

How do I care for my All-on-X implants?

Caring for All-on-X implants is simpler than maintaining traditional dentures, as they remain permanently fixed in your mouth. Daily brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush and cleaning under your prosthesis with specialized tools like water flossers and interdental brushes is essential for long-term success. Regular professional cleanings every three to six months allow your dental team to thoroughly clean areas you cannot reach at home and check the condition of your implants and restoration. With proper care, your implants can last for decades, making them a long-term solution for tooth replacement.

Am I a good candidate for All-on-X implants?

Even if you have missing teeth or failing dentition, you can be an excellent candidate for All-on-X implant. The unique angled placement technique used in All-on-X procedures often eliminates the need for bone grafting, making it suitable for you don't qualify for traditional implants. Health factors like uncontrolled diabetes, smoking, or certain medications may affect healing, so a thorough evaluation is necessary before proceeding. Your initial consultation will include comprehensive imaging and assessment to determine if All-on-X is the right solution for your specific situation.

What's the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants?

All-on-4 uses four implants per arch to support a full set of replacement teeth, while All-on-6 uses six implants for potentially greater stability in certain cases. The decision between All-on-4 and All-on-6 depends on factors like your jawbone density, arch size, and the forces you'll exert when chewing. All-on-6 may be recommended for patients with wider jaws or those who have stronger bite forces and need additional support. Both options provide excellent results, with the specific choice being determined during your treatment planning phase based on your unique oral anatomy and functional needs.
