All-on-X Dental Implants Near Shawnee, KS
All-on-X treatment at our Prairie Village office is performed by Dr. Daniel Rome.
A troublesome denture does not point to only one solution. Shawnee residents can compare conventional dentures, implant overdentures, and fixed All-on-X with RM Dental Group at its Prairie Village office.
Describe the problem before choosing the replacement
If you already wear a denture, explain where it moves, when it feels uncomfortable, and what you avoid eating or doing because of it. Bring it to the appointment if the team asks. These details are more useful than simply asking for the option with the most implants or the most expensive material.
Ask how a removable implant overdenture differs from a fixed restoration in daily use. If you still have teeth, ask whether retaining them is reasonable before discussing full-arch replacement. Your current appliance, mouth, health history, and preferences all belong in the assessment. An online comparison can prepare you for that conversation but cannot decide candidacy.
Fixed, removable, and tooth-preserving choices
All-on-X is a fixed full-arch restoration supported by implants. You do not routinely remove it yourself. An implant overdenture is removable by the patient, while a conventional denture does not use implants. These choices differ in cleaning, handling, and treatment requirements; the right choice depends on an individual assessment.
RM describes Forever Smile Starter as a removable overdenture, Transitional as fixed PMMA (an acrylic material), and Deluxe as fixed zirconia. These are choices, not a required progression. Ask which options fit your findings and why. The fixed-versus-removable comparison explains the categories so you can arrive with more focused questions.
Fixed All-on-X
Implant-supported teeth that you do not routinely remove yourself.
Implant overdenture
A removable option with implant attachments. Forever Smile Starter is in this category.
Keep reasonable alternatives open
Ask about conventional dentures and which remaining teeth may be treatable.
Why consider RM for full-arch care?
Dr. Daniel Rome performs All-on-X treatment at our Prairie Village office. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Missouri–Kansas City and completed a general practice residency at New York Methodist Hospital. Your consultation is the time to discuss your options, the proposed treatment sequence, and ongoing care.
The published Forever Smile pathway and Care Plan also give you concrete topics to discuss: treatment stages, home cleaning, follow-up, and responsibilities after the restoration is fitted.
A conversation in three parts

Discuss your health, existing teeth, concerns, and alternatives.

Arrange the Shawnee visit around your starting address
Reference departure: Shawnee City Hall
About 6.9 road miles · 14.3 minutes
Check current driving directionsThe verified route reference starts at Shawnee City Hall on Johnson Drive. The recorded roads include Nieman Road, Shawnee Mission Parkway, Nall Avenue, and West 75th Street. Use that as a reference only; a different Shawnee starting point may call for a different route. Check current directions and leave time for arrival and check-in.
The actual destination is 7501 Mission Rd Suite 102, Prairie Village, KS 66208. Ask whether you should bring your current denture, past treatment information, or a list of products you use for cleaning. Treatment and follow-up may require additional trips. If sedation is part of the proposed care, obtain separate instructions for transportation, an escort, and recovery before the appointment.
Do not confuse an upgrade with a mandatory sequence
RM names removable and fixed Forever Smile options, but those names do not mean everyone must move through every option. Ask what is being recommended now and why. If a temporary restoration is proposed, clarify its purpose, limitations, and relationship to the intended final teeth rather than assuming every named option is a treatment stage.
Ask for the full written estimate before comparing payment plans. RM’s Cherry financing pathway is subject to the lender’s eligibility and terms. Include ongoing care in your questions, especially if you are used to thinking of denture care as a separate concern. Find out how adjustments and future repairs would be assessed and quoted without assuming they are included.
Questions from Shawnee residents
Does RM have a Shawnee office?
This page refers to the Prairie Village office at 7501 Mission Rd Suite 102, Prairie Village, KS 66208. It does not establish a Shawnee location.
Do loose dentures mean I need fixed All-on-X?
Not necessarily. Discuss the cause of the difficulty and compare conventional, removable implant, and fixed options after an assessment.
Is Forever Smile Starter fixed?
No. RM describes Starter as a removable implant overdenture. It is a different choice from the fixed Transitional and Deluxe options.
Must I start with the removable option?
The named options are not a mandatory progression. Ask which choice fits your findings, preferences, and ability to maintain it.
Plan for continuing care in Prairie Village
RM’s Forever Smile Care Plan describes individualized visit intervals, cleaning, tissue and component checks, bite review, imaging when indicated, and home-care coaching. Ask how these elements apply to the option you are considering. Continuing care remains important, and repairs or additional treatment may still be needed.
