Full Arch

Traditional replacement of a complete set of upper or lower teeth (arch) using a dental implant is completed over multiple visits.

Course of Treatment

• Consultation and planning, including initial exam, imaging of your teeth, questions about your dental and medical history, and discussion of your treatment options.
• Placement of the dental implants that will be used to support your replacement teeth. Temporary teeth may be placed while the dental implant integrates with your natural bone to form a strong foundation for your replacement tooth. Most people return to work the next day, and any discomfort can typically be treated with commonly used pain medication.
• Placement of the abutments, or connectors placed on, or built into, the top of the implant to help connect your replacement teeth, if needed. Additional connecting devices needed to attach multiple replacement teeth to the implants also may be placed at this time.
• Placement of custom-made individual replacement teeth or, most often, an implant-supported fixed bridge or implant-supported overdenture
