Implant Surgery
Full-Arch Implant Rehabilitation
Full-arch rehabilitation replaces all the teeth in an upper or lower jaw with a fixed bridge supported by a small number of implants — often four to six. It is a definitive alternative to a removable full denture for people who have lost, or are about to lose, an entire arch of teeth.
Because the restoration is anchored to implants rather than resting on the gums, it does not slip or need to be removed at night. It restores biting force, speech, and the appearance of a full, natural smile.
Who it's for
- Loss of all or most teeth in an arch, or teeth that are failing beyond repair
- Difficulty eating or speaking with a removable denture
- A desire for fixed teeth that stay in place
- Adequate bone, or a regenerative plan to create it
What to expect
- 1
Comprehensive planning
3D imaging and digital planning determine implant number and position for the strongest, most esthetic result.
- 2
Implant placement
The implants are placed in a single coordinated surgical visit, often with a provisional set of fixed teeth.
- 3
Healing & integration
The implants integrate with the bone over the following months while you wear the provisional restoration.
- 4
Final restoration
A custom, definitive fixed bridge is fitted in coordination with your restorative dentist.
Recovery & aftercare
A soft-food diet is recommended in the early weeks while the implants integrate and the tissues settle. Discomfort is usually mild and short-lived relative to the scope of the treatment.
We stage the provisional and final restorations carefully with your restoring dentist so function and esthetics are protected at every step.
Common questions
- Is this the same as All-on-4?
- All-on-4 / All-on-X are brand-style names for full-arch rehabilitation on four or more implants. The principle is the same: a fixed arch on a few well-placed implants.
- Will I leave with teeth the same day?
- In many cases a fixed provisional set of teeth is placed at the time of surgery, so you are not without teeth. This depends on your bone and bite, confirmed during planning.
- How is it different from a denture?
- A conventional denture rests on the gums and can move; a full-arch implant bridge is anchored to the jaw and stays fixed in place.
