A New Smile in One Procedure: Understanding All-on-X Dental Implants
All-on-X dental implants have become the gold standard for patients who want to replace an entire arch of missing, failing, or damaged teeth. Instead of traditional dentures that move, shift, and limit chewing, All-on-X implants use strategically placed titanium implants to support a full arch of fixed, natural-looking teeth.
In Tennessee, Dr. Johnny Shanks has earned a reputation as one of the top full arch and All-on-X specialists due to his advanced training, clinical precision, and access to the latest implant technology. His practice, Golden Oak Sedation & Dental Implant Dentistry, is built for complex full arch treatment, making it one of the most trusted destinations in the region.
Why All-on-X Is the Future of Full Arch Dentistry
For patients living with unstable dentures, chronic pain, or dental disease, All-on-X provides life-changing benefits:
● Permanent, fixed teeth that stay in place
● Improved chewing and bite strength
● Natural aesthetics that restore confidence
● Prevention of further bone loss
● Long-term durability
● Immediate improvement in function and appearance
Unlike dentures, All-on-X restorations do not need adhesive. They do not pop out. They do not shift. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

The All-on-X Treatment Process at Golden Oak Sedation
Consultation & 3D Imaging
Your journey begins with a complete evaluation, including a digital CBCT scan to assess bone health and create a custom treatment plan.
Smile Design & Planning
Dr. Shanks creates a treatment plan using digital tools that map the ideal implant placement and aesthetic outcome.
Implant Surgery & Temporary Teeth
In many cases, patients receive same-day temporary teeth that are fixed in place until healing is complete.
Final Zirconia or Hybrid Restoration
Once healed, a long-lasting, beautifully crafted set of teeth is placed. They look natural and perform better than dentures or bridges.
