Full Arch

Overview

A Permanent Alternative to Removable Dentures

Full-arch restoration replaces an entire row of teeth with a fixed set supported by a small number of strategically placed implants. For patients missing most or all of their teeth, it offers stability and function that removable dentures often can’t match.

Fixed in place — no removing it at night
Typically 4–6 implants support a full arch
Often a temporary set is placed the same day

Fixed, Natural-Looking Results

A full arch replacement that stays in place and is designed to look, feel, and function like a natural smile — with improved bite strength compared to removable dentures.

Preserves Jawbone Structure

Because full-arch restorations are implant-supported, they help preserve the jawbone over the long term in a way that traditional dentures cannot.

How is full-arch different from dentures?

Full-arch restorations are fixed in place by implants, unlike removable dentures, offering more stability and a more natural feel.

How long does the process take?

Timelines vary by case, but the process typically spans several months from placement to final restoration.

Am I a candidate?

Most patients missing most or all of their teeth in an arch are candidates — a consultation will confirm your bone health supports it.

How many implants are needed per arch?

Typically four to six implants support a full arch, depending on your bone structure and treatment plan.

Will I be without teeth during healing?

In many cases a temporary fixed prosthesis is placed the same day, so you’re rarely without teeth.

How do I care for a full-arch restoration?

Care is similar to natural teeth — daily brushing and regular checkups — with specific guidance provided by our team.
