All-on-5 Implants in Gatesville, TX

What Are All-on-5 Implants?

The All-on-5 dental implant system is an advanced full-arch rehabilitation technique that strategically utilizes five precisely placed dental implants to support an entire bridge of prosthetic teeth (a full arch). Similar in concept to the popular All-on-4 method, the All-on-5 approach provides an additional point of support, which can offer enhanced stability and chewing power, particularly in certain anatomical situations or for patients seeking maximum security.

Each of the five implants acts as an artificial tooth root, creating a strong and stable foundation for a custom-designed, non-removable dental bridge. The implants are strategically angled and positioned in areas of the jawbone with the highest density, often minimizing or eliminating the need for extensive bone grafting procedures that might otherwise be required.
