Permanent Fixed Teeth with Dental Implants (All-On-X) in Houma, Thibodaux & Morgan City, LA

At Oral Facial Surgery Center, our board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons, Dr. Baughman & Dr. Duplantier specialize in full-arch dental implant reconstruction, commonly known as All-On-X or “Teeth-in-a-Day.” This advanced technique provides patients with a stable, natural-looking set of permanent teeth supported by dental implants—often completed in one streamlined treatment. We focus on the surgical phase of care and collaborate with leading restorative dentists and state-of-the-art labs to deliver outstanding, long-lasting results.

What Is the All-On-X System?

All-On-X (including All-On-4 and All-On-6 techniques) is an advanced treatment concept that replaces an entire arch of missing teeth using a small number of precisely positioned implants. These implants serve as anchors for a permanent, fixed bridge of natural-looking prosthetic teeth — offering strength, comfort, and esthetics unmatched by traditional dentures.
Because of the strategic placement and angulation of the implants, many patients can avoid extensive bone grafting, even when moderate bone loss is present. The result is a permanent, full-arch solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.

Your Personalized Surgical Process

1. Comprehensive Consultation

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation and 3D CBCT imaging to evaluate bone density, anatomy, and overall oral health. Our surgeons coordinate closely with your restorative dentist or prosthetic team to plan the ideal implant positions and smile design — ensuring precision from surgery through final restoration.

2. Implant Placement

During your procedure, any remaining failing teeth are gently removed, and implants are placed at optimal angles for maximum stability and bone engagement. Depending on individual bone quality and surgical conditions, a temporary set of teeth may be attached the same day or the following day, allowing you to leave with a confident, functional smile while your implants heal and integrate with the bone.
All procedures are performed in our surgical facility under conscious sedation or general anesthesia, ensuring your comfort and safety throughout the process.

3. Final Restoration

After several months of healing and implant integration (typically 3–6 months), your restorative dentist and laboratory team will create your custom, permanent bridge. This final restoration is designed to complement your facial features, restore ideal function, and deliver a beautiful, confident smile.
