All-on-X Dental Implants for Surf City Patients

Surf City has grown from a summer town into a year-round community, and the dental needs have grown with it. We see families from the mainland side and the island, and the mix of cases is broader than the beach towns further south: as many chipped and cracked teeth from active lifestyles as failing older restorations.

For anything involving implants, a full arch, or a bite that needs rebuilding, Surf City patients come into Wilmington. The drive is about forty minutes, and the high-rise bridge removed the old drawbridge wait that used to make it unpredictable.

We regularly see patients from the Surf City mainland, Soundside, Del Mar Beach, and the north end of Topsail Island, and from across the area around the Surf City bridge, Soundside Park.

What Is All-on-X?

All-on-X is a long-lasting way to replace most or all of your teeth using dental implants.

Instead of replacing each tooth individually, we place a small number of implants and attach a full set of custom-made teeth to them. These teeth are fixed in place, so they do not come in and out.

With All-on-X, you get a natural-looking smile that feels secure — so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.

Why Patients Love All-on-X

All-on-X Dental Implants in Surf City — FAQ

How long is the drive from Surf City?

About 40 minutes over the bridge and down US-17. The high-rise bridge means no drawbridge delays, so timing is dependable outside summer weekends.

My tooth cracked and my dentist says it needs a crown. Why see a prosthodontist?

For a straightforward crown, your general dentist is a fine choice. A prosthodontist is worth it when the crack is deep, the tooth is questionable, or the bite that caused the crack needs addressing so it does not simply happen again.

Will I be without teeth during the process?

No. In most cases, you will leave your procedure with a temporary set of teeth the same day, so you are never without a smile.

How long does All-on-X last?

The implants are designed to be long-term and can last many years with proper care. The final teeth are also made to be durable, but may need maintenance or replacement over time.

How do I take care of All-on-X teeth?

You'll brush them daily and come in for regular cleanings and checkups. We'll also show you how to clean around the implants to keep everything healthy and strong.

Am I a candidate for All-on-X?

You may be a good candidate if you are missing most or all of your teeth, struggling with dentures, or have teeth that are failing or worn down.
