What Is Full-Arch Restoration?
Full-arch restoration is a procedure that replaces all teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw using a fixed prosthesis anchored by dental implants. It offers a permanent, natural-feeling solution that restores full oral function, without the inconvenience of removable dentures.
We offer several full-arch solutions, including:
Each approach uses 4 to 6 implants per arch to securely anchor a full prosthesis, giving you a brand-new smile that’s fixed, stable, and functional.
Benefits of Full-Arch Dental Implants
- Fixed and non-removable—no slipping or adhesives
- Preserve jawbone health and prevent facial sagging
- Restore chewing power and enjoy a full range of foods
- Natural-looking and custom-designed teeth
- Often placed without the need for bone grafting
- Long-term cost-effectiveness of dentures
Patients enjoy renewed confidence in their smile, speech, and ability to eat comfortably, often in a single surgical visit.
The Full-Arch Restoration Process
Step 1: Consultation & 3D Imaging
We begin with a comprehensive exam and 3D scan to assess your bone structure and plan for optimal implant placement. Your surgeon will review your goals and discuss the best restoration method for your needs.
Step 2: Surgery
During your procedure, 4–6 implants are placed in the jawbone at strategic angles to maximize strength and support. We offer local anesthesia, IV sedation, and general anesthesia for a stress-free experience.
Step 3: Same-Day Temporary Teeth
A temporary prosthesis is placed on the same day of surgery, giving you immediate function and aesthetics while your implants heal.
Step 4: Final Prosthesis
After 3–6 months, your permanent full-arch prosthesis is custom-designed and placed by your restorative dentist to complete the process.
Is Full-Arch Restoration Right for You?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Are missing most or all teeth in the upper or lower jaw
- Want to avoid or replace traditional dentures
- Have moderate to advanced bone loss
- Desire a fixed, long-term solution
- Are in good health and a non-smoker (or willing to stop)
We’ll also evaluate your options during your first visit and explain alternative treatments like single implants or jaw surgery if needed.

FAQs About Full-Arch Restoration
How painful are full-mouth dental implants?
The procedure itself is performed under sedation or general anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain. Mild swelling or discomfort is common afterward, but easily managed with medication. Most patients return to normal activity within a few days.
What is the downside to dental implants?
Implants require surgery, a healing period, and good oral hygiene. Initial cost is higher than dentures, but the long-term benefits often outweigh these concerns due to their durability and natural function.
Are you put to sleep for full mouth dental implants?
Yes, we offer IV sedation and general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Most patients choose to be fully sedated for full-arch surgery and wake up with no memory of the procedure.
Is it hard to eat with full dental implants?
Not at all. After your final prosthesis is placed, you’ll be able to eat most foods comfortably and confidently. Many patients enjoy significant improvements in diet and nutrition.
