Missing most or all of your teeth affects more than just your appearance. It impacts your ability to enjoy meals, speak clearly, and feel confident in social situations. At Lifetime Smiles, we offer All-on-X dental implants, a proven full-arch restoration technique that replaces an entire upper or lower arch of teeth using strategically placed implants. Dr. Michael Beke’s nearly 20 years of experience and Academy of General Dentistry Fellowship ensure your treatment is planned with precision and executed with the highest standard of care, delivering results that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
All-on-X treatment allows you to walk into our office with failing or missing teeth and leave the same day with a beautiful, functional smile. Unlike traditional implant approaches that require months of healing before receiving your final teeth, All-on-X provides immediate restoration. Dr. Beke places four to six dental implants at strategic angles to maximize bone support, then attaches a temporary full-arch prosthesis the same day, so you never have to go without teeth.
One of the most significant advantages of All-on-X is that it often eliminates the need for bone grafting procedures. By angling the implants to engage the strongest areas of your jawbone, Dr. Beke can achieve excellent stability even in patients with moderate bone loss. This approach reduces treatment time, lowers costs, and allows more patients to benefit from permanent tooth replacement without complex preliminary surgeries.
Traditional dentures sit on your gums and rely on adhesives or suction to stay in place, which often leads to slipping, clicking, and discomfort while eating or speaking. All-on-X implants are permanently fixed in your mouth, anchored directly to your jawbone through titanium implants that integrate with your bone tissue. This creates a stable foundation that withstands normal chewing forces, allowing you to eat your favorite foods without worry and speak naturally without the fear of denture movement.
Research published by the National Institutes of Health shows that dental implants maintain impressive long-term success rates, with studies documenting survival rates of approximately 88% to 92% over 20 years when patients maintain proper oral hygiene and attend regular follow-up appointments. All-on-X specifically demonstrates a prosthetic survival rate of 98.8%, making it one of the most reliable options for full-arch restoration. At Lifetime Smiles, Dr. Beke’s evidence-based approach ensures your treatment follows proven protocols that maximize the longevity of your results.
Cavities are one of the most common dental problems — but they’re also one of the easiest to treat when caught early. Our clinic uses modern tooth-colored composite fillings that blend naturally with your smile. These materials are durable, aesthetically pleasing, and mercury-free, making them a safer and more attractive choice compared to traditional metal options.
Understanding what to expect during All-on-X treatment helps you approach the procedure with confidence. Your transformation begins with a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Beke evaluates your oral health, takes detailed 3D imaging of your jawbone, and discusses your aesthetic goals. This thorough planning phase ensures precise implant placement and optimal results.
On the day of your procedure, Dr. Beke places four to six titanium implants into your jawbone at carefully calculated angles that maximize support and stability. The posterior implants are typically angled to avoid sensitive structures and engage stronger bone, while the anterior implants are placed vertically for additional support. Once the implants are secured, a custom-fabricated temporary prosthesis is attached, giving you immediate function and aesthetics. You’ll leave our office with a complete set of teeth the same day.
Over the following months, your implants undergo osseointegration, a biological process where your bone tissue fuses with the titanium implants. During this healing period, you’ll continue using your temporary prosthesis while Dr. Beke monitors your progress. After complete healing, typically three to six months, we’ll replace the temporary teeth with your final custom-crafted prosthesis, designed to match your facial structure, gum tissue, and personal preferences for a natural, beautiful result.
Choosing where to have your All-on-X procedure performed is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. At Lifetime Smiles, you benefit from Dr. Beke’s advanced training, meticulous attention to detail, and commitment to using proven techniques that deliver predictable, lasting results. Our approach combines cutting-edge technology with personalized care that addresses your unique needs and concerns.

His background includes emergency and trauma dentistry, giving him the surgical precision necessary for complex implant procedures. This extensive experience translates directly into successful outcomes, proper healing, and implants that last for decades with appropriate care.
Before any surgical work begins, we use advanced 3D imaging technology to create a detailed map of your jawbone anatomy, allowing Dr. Beke to plan exact implant positions that avoid nerves and blood vessels while maximizing bone engagement. This thorough planning minimizes surgical complications and ensures optimal implant placement for long-term stability and success.

Understanding All-on-X treatment helps you make informed decisions about your oral health. Here are answers to the most common questions our Bellevue patients ask about full-arch implant restoration.
The surgical procedure typically takes three to four hours per arch, depending on whether you’re replacing your upper teeth, lower teeth, or both. Dr. Beke places the implants and attaches your temporary prosthesis during this single appointment, so you leave with functional teeth the same day. The total treatment timeline from consultation to final prosthesis spans approximately four to six months, allowing time for complete healing and osseointegration before your permanent teeth are fabricated and placed.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure itself, especially when oral conscious sedation is used. After surgery, you’ll experience some swelling and soreness for several days, similar to other oral surgery procedures. Dr. Beke provides detailed pain management instructions and prescribes appropriate medications to keep you comfortable during the initial healing phase. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days and find any discomfort is well worth the life-changing results.
Caring for your All-on-X prosthesis is simpler than you might expect. You’ll brush your teeth twice daily using a soft-bristle toothbrush, paying special attention to where the prosthesis meets your gum tissue. Special floss threaders or water flossers help clean beneath the prosthesis to remove food particles and bacteria. Regular professional cleanings every three to six months allow Dr. Beke to examine your implants, check for any issues, and professionally clean areas you can’t reach at home. With proper maintenance, your All-on-X implants can last for decades.
