Restore your smile and chewing power with a set of permanently fixed-in new teeth.
If you’re dealing with missing, decayed, or severely damaged teeth, ongoing dental issues, persistent pain, or difficulty chewing, or you’re tired of your dentures, All-on-X teeth replacement may be the ideal solution for you.
Our doctors are experts in dental implant treatment and have placed over 22,000 implants. They will make sure your new teeth are strong and securely placed, and that your smile looks natural and beautiful. Dr. Agarwal and the other doctors at Winterset Dental have a combined experience of many decades in this type of procedure, providing patients with confident smiles, strong chewing power, and an overall better quality of life.
We use state-of-the-art technologies and continually incorporate new, proven technologies to make surgery more precise, comfortable, and efficient.
All-on-X is a procedure that uses four to six implants in the upper or lower jaw to hold in place a new set of teeth. Only a few implants are needed because the force from chewing and biting is evenly distributed between the implants.
Our doctors can extract teeth, place the dental implants and attach an aesthetic and functional new set of provisional teeth, often in the same visit.
Our team of specialists provides the highest level of implant treatment. Drs. Agarwal and Arbabi are prosthodontists, specialists in implants, replacement teeth and treatment planning for complex cases. Dr. Cummings is a periodontist, a specialist in placing dental implants and caring for the bone and gum tissues surrounding teeth. Dr. Hamedani is an oral surgeon specializing in implant surgery and jaw reconstruction.
Team leader Dr. Agarwal also holds Diplomate status in the International Congress of Oral Implantology and has lectured worldwide on dental implants and full-mouth reconstruction for the past 35 years.
Winterset Dental is one of only two practices in the entire greater Chicago area honored with the “The Center of Excellence Award” by Nobel Biocare™—the premier provider of dental implant systems—recognizing the practice’s experience and expertise in All-on-X® Dental Implants treatment.
A key component to the success of providing All-on-X dental implants is the extensive planning our doctors do. Using the 3D CT scanner, our doctors obtain 360-degree views of your mouth and jaw to identify the areas of densest bone and determine the best locations for implant placement.
Our doctors use implant planning software to simulate the entire surgery ahead of time. They can even create a surgical guide, which is placed over your gums during the procedure to ensure the implants are placed precisely. The implants are placed in areas of dense jawbone for optimal stability. Long implants are placed at an angle to maximize bone-to-implant contact, often eliminating the need for bone grafting.
The number of implants placed varies depending on the availability of sufficient or dense bone. This can be especially true for the upper jaw, which has softer bone; in such cases, doctors prefer five or six implants. Regardless of the number of implants placed, the cost for the procedure remains the same.
In most cases, the doctors can attach provisional teeth during the same visit as the implant surgery. These temporary teeth look lifelike and are functional. After the implants have healed, aesthetic final teeth are placed, providing you with biting and chewing strength nearly as natural as your own, and a beautiful new smile!
Winterset Dental has competitive prices and all-inclusive packages. Treatment includes all implants, the temporary and final replacement teeth, a night guard, and one year of complimentary maintenance.
The practice also offers several flexible payment options with no-interest or low-interest financing.
Gum disease, smoking, leaving teeth missing and wearing dentures can all contribute to bone loss. Patients who have suffered bone loss in the jaw may not be eligible for traditional dental implant treatment, but this doesn’t mean there is no hope for getting a stable smile. The doctors at Winterset Dental can restore full function and beauty using zygomatic dental implants.
When bone in the upper jaw is insufficient to support dental implants, Dr. Agarwal can place extra-long, angled implants in the cheekbone (zygomatic bone), where the bone volume remains dense even when teeth have been missing for a long time. He can then attach a full arch of natural-looking replacement teeth—a strong and long-lasting solution for patients who have extensive bone loss.
In use for over 20 years, zygomatic implants have been proven safe and effective and can be placed without the need for bone grafting or sinus lifts, which can add months to the treatment time of traditional implants. The zygomatic implants integrate with the bone and are so strong that a full set of replacement teeth can usually be attached right away.

“I came to Dr. Agarwal because I was displeased with thick, ill-fitting dentures I had just paid $9,000 for. The experience turned out to be great. The doctors clearly explained my treatment options and were patient with helping me overcome my fears of the procedure.
“I can now speak with clear diction and eat what I like without strategically placing food in my mouth just to chew. Winterset Dental gave me back a lifetime of smiles that help me show off my dimples. Other people look at me, and they smile at me. My smile is my welcome card.”

Choosing All-on-X Implant teeth replacement offers numerous benefits. This innovative procedure enables the restoration of a complete set of teeth using only four to six implants, significantly reducing the treatment time required. Patients can enjoy the ability to eat their favorite foods comfortably and can regain their confidence with a smile that looks natural. Additionally, the All-on-X procedure can often be completed in just one day.
Recovery time varies from patient to patient, but many people experience minimal downtime. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, although dietary modifications may be recommended initially. As healing progresses, the implants will integrate with the bone, and the final restoration will be placed. This process allows patients to quickly enjoy the benefits of their new smile while ensuring a successful long-term outcome.
All-on-X implants are known for their longevity. That said, regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene practices are essential for maintaining the health and longevity of your implants. Factors such as bone density, oral hygiene habits, and overall health can also influence the lifespan of your implants.
Yes, All-on-X implants are designed to look and feel incredibly natural. Our experienced dentists will create custom-made new teeth that seamlessly blend with any existing teeth, giving you a beautiful, confident smile. The implants themselves are made from biocompatible materials that integrate with your jawbone, providing a stable and secure foundation for your new teeth.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the All-on-X procedure. We use advanced techniques and anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the process. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage any mild discomfort after the procedure.
Because dental implants are one of the most effective and reliable options to replace missing teeth, they are very common in the United States.
Depending on your insurance provider, dental implants may be covered. The best way to determine if you are covered is to contact your dental or medical insurance provider to confirm your coverage. Our practice also offers several flexible payment options with no-interest or low-interest financing.
Anyone who is generally in good oral health and has an adequate jawbone to support the implant is a good candidate for dental implants. The best candidates for implants are those who maintain regular and thorough oral hygiene routines and visit their dentist on a regular basis.
