Frequently Asked Questions
What is a full arch dental prosthetic?
A full arch dental implant is a life-changing solution for replacing all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Using just a few secure dental implants, we can anchor a beautiful, natural-looking set of teeth that feels strong, stable, and comfortable—just like your own.
Am I a good candidate?
If you’re missing most or all of your teeth, or dealing with uncomfortable dentures or dental problems, you’re likely a great candidate. Even if you’ve been told you have bone loss, we have advanced options that can help. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.
How is this different from dentures?
Unlike removable dentures, full arch implants are fixed in place. They don’t slip, click, or cause sore spots. You’ll be able to smile, speak, and eat with total confidence—no adhesives, no worry.
What does the treatment involve?
Don’t worry—we’ll walk you through every step. It usually includes:
- A detailed consultation and 3D scan
- Implant placement surgery (with sedation)
- An interim set of teeth on the same day
- Healing time (typically 3–6 months)
- Your final, custom-made smile
We tailor every plan to fit your comfort and goals.
Will it hurt?
Most patients are surprised at how little discomfort they feel. We use gentle techniques, and sedation is available for a stress-free experience. Any soreness afterward is typically mild and manageable with medication.
How long does the process take?
The implants are placed in one visit, and you can leave with a brand-new smile the same day in many cases! Healing takes a few months, and then you’ll receive your final, permanent teeth.
What will it cost?
We understand that cost is a big consideration. While pricing varies depending on your needs, we offer flexible financing options and will help you navigate any insurance benefits. Think of this as an investment in your health and quality of life—you deserve it.
Will I have teeth right after surgery?
Yes! In most cases, we place a secure temporary denture on the same day, so you won’t have to go without teeth.
How long will my implants last?
With proper care, your implants can last a lifetime. The implant itself can last many years and is designed for long-term durability. We’ll teach you how to care for them so you can enjoy your new smile for decades.
How do I take care of my new teeth?
Caring for your full arch implants is simple:
- Brush daily (we’ll show you how)
- Use floss or special tools for implant cleaning
- Visit us regularly for checkups and cleanings
You’ll quickly get into the routine—and we’re always here to help.
Are there any risks?
As with any surgery, there are some risks, but they are very low. We take every precaution to ensure a safe, smooth experience. You’re in expert hands, and we’ll be with you every step of the way.
Will insurance cover this?
Some insurance plans often cover parts of the treatment, such as extractions or scans. We’ll help you explore all options and provide affordable financing if needed.
What are the teeth made of?
The interim prosthetic is made of zirconia and the permanent implants are made of titanium. Every smile is custom-made to look and feel just right.
Can I eat normally again?
Absolutely! After healing, you’ll enjoy eating all your favorite foods again, from crunchy apples to juicy steak. Right after surgery, you’ll want to stick to soft foods, but the wait is well worth it.
Can I do both arches at once?
Many patients choose to restore both upper and lower arches at the same time for a complete transformation. We’ll discuss what’s best for you during your consultation.
