This depends on the condition of each tooth, not just how many teeth you have left. In some cases, a tooth with a low chance of survival is better removed. In others, a tooth we can still save is often worth keeping.
What We Look at Before Recommending All-on-X
- The health of gums and bone around each tooth
- Presence of decay or cracks
- Past dental work, like fillings or crowns
- Whether the tooth or implant is likely to remain stable long-term
Why This Matters
Removing a tooth just to make treatment simpler isn't always the right choice, even if All-on-X may be a good option for you later. Your dentist looks at each tooth individually and compares it to what all-on-x could offer. That way, the plan is based on your actual mouth, not convenience.
