Patients seeking to replace just one or a few teeth can benefit from regular single or multiple dental implants. However, full arch dental implants are a superior solution for patients missing all their teeth. Our qualified and skilled dentist at Bonnie & Simone places full arch dental implants to build an entire row of new teeth that are strong, look natural, and bring back a perfect new smile.
Full arch implants are a whole, full-mouth teeth replacement solution for those with entire arches of missing teeth. It is a specialized dentistry procedure that a qualified dentist can employ to replace a complete row of teeth using just as few as two to four dental implant posts. These implants are placed in the bottom or top jaw, eliminating the possibility of having a mouth full of individual dental implants for each tooth.
A great thing about full arch implants is that the procedure can be done in just one day. You can come into our dental office and leave with a natural, permanent set of new teeth at the same appointment!
The teeth you receive are mounted on just two to four dental implants, unlike the six, seven, or eight implants used before. The trick in achieving a stable arch of teeth supported by just a few implants is inserting the posts at strategic angles. This way, the implants rest on a sturdy foundation to support the new arch of teeth.
Just like regular dental implants, the healing period for full arch implants is roughly three to six months. This is so osseointegration can occur. The implants are fabricated from biocompatible titanium or zirconia materials, so they work well in conjunction with the body.
During the healing period, patients can decide whether they are happy with the shape, fit, and color of their new teeth and bite. Our dentist can make all the necessary changes to ensure your permanent teeth look exactly how you want.
