How Full Arch Implant Solutions Works
Our step-by-step process ensures optimal results and patient comfort
Comprehensive Consultation
We perform a thorough examination, take 3D CBCT scans, and discuss your goals. We evaluate bone density and plan the optimal implant positions using advanced digital software.
Treatment Planning & Design
Your new smile is digitally designed before surgery. We create surgical guides for precise implant placement and design your provisional (temporary) teeth so you leave with a smile the same day.
Extraction & Implant Placement
Under sedation, any remaining teeth are extracted. Four to six implants are strategically placed in the jawbone—angled posteriorly to maximize bone contact and stability, often avoiding the need for bone grafts.
Same-Day Provisional Teeth
A beautiful, functional provisional arch is attached to your implants the same day. You leave our clinic with a full set of teeth, able to smile and eat soft foods immediately.
Healing Period
Over 3-6 months, implants integrate with your jawbone. You'll wear your provisional teeth during this time and attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress.
Final Prosthesis Delivery
Once fully healed, impressions are taken for your permanent, custom-crafted prosthesis. Made from high-strength zirconia or acrylic with porcelain, it's designed for optimal aesthetics, durability, and function.
Safety & Aftercare
- •All-on-4/All-on-6 procedures have a 95-98% success rate
- •Angled implant placement maximizes bone use and often eliminates need for grafting
- •IV sedation or general anesthesia ensures patient comfort during longer procedures
- •3D planning and surgical guides ensure precise, predictable implant placement
- •Immediate loading with provisional teeth doesn't compromise implant integration
- •Follow a soft/liquid diet for the first 2-4 weeks (smoothies, soups, mashed foods)
- •Gradually progress to softer solid foods as directed by your dentist
- •Take all prescribed medications (antibiotics, pain relievers, anti-inflammatory)
- •Rinse gently with prescribed mouthwash; avoid vigorous swishing
- •No smoking for at least 3-6 months (ideally permanently)
- •Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for monitoring
- •Clean prosthesis daily with soft brush; use water flosser around implants
