Full Arch Implants

Full Arch Implants

If you are missing most or all of your teeth in one jaw, a full arch of implants could replace them with a single fixed bridge. As few as four implants, placed at carefully planned angles, can support a complete, non-removable set of teeth, often described by patients as "all-on-4".

What are the advantages of full arch implants over a full denture?

Unlike a full denture, a full arch of implants
is fixed firmly in your mouth, day and night. There is no adhesive to apply, no need to remove it for cleaning, and no risk of it slipping while you eat or speak.

Because the implants integrate with your
jawbone the same way natural tooth roots do, they also help preserve the bone in that arch. A full denture rests on the gum and gives the bone underneath nothing to work against, so the jaw continues to shrink over time. This is one of the reasons facial shape can change after years of wearing dentures.

Why Choose Full Arch Implants?

In the long term, a full arch of implants is
more stable, more comfortable, and easier to live with than a removable denture.

  • A complete arch can often be restored using as few as four strategically angled implants, rather than one implant per tooth.
  • The bridge is fixed in place, so there is no clicking, no slipping, and nothing to take out at night.
  • Implants stimulate the jawbone the way natural roots do, helping to preserve your facial shape.
