What Are Full Arch Dental Implants?

Full arch dental implant services at Premier Oral Surgery in Englewood Cliffs and Bergenfield, NJ.

Full arch dental implants are dental restorations that replace an entire arch of missing teeth. They are also called full-mouth dental implants or implant-supported dentures. There are a few different types of full-arch dental implants, but they all offer a permanent solution to missing teeth. Full arch implant procedures are performed by an oral surgeon, who will surgically implant titanium rods into your jawbone. As these rods fuse with your jawbone, they create stable anchors onto which prosthetic teeth are attached. When you are fully healed, your prosthetic teeth will look and function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat and speak normally.

Who Should Consider Full Arch Dental Implants?

You should consider full arch dental implants if you are missing most or all of the teeth on the top or bottom jaw. Your general dentist or physician may refer you to us if:

  • You have severe trauma or injury to the majority of teeth in one arch.
  • You need to have multiple teeth in one arch removed due to injury, decay, infection, or disease.
  • You have a congenital issue or health condition that affected the development of the teeth in your upper or lower jaw.
  • You have advanced periodontal disease and need to have multiple teeth removed.
  • You currently use dentures, but they are causing discomfort, do not fit properly, or are making it hard for you to eat or speak.

Types of Full Arch Dental Implants

We offer a wide range of solutions for patients who are missing all of their upper or lower teeth. We will evaluate your needs, health, and lifestyle to determine which type of full arch dental implants is best for you:

  • Implant-Retained Upper or Lower Denture – An implant-retained upper or lower denture is a fixed full-arch dental implant or implant-supported denture that replaces all the teeth on your upper or lower arch.
  • Individual Upper or Lower Implants – Individual upper implants are individual dental implants placed along the entire upper or lower arch of your jaw. They are not connected like a dental bridge or denture.
  • Implant-Supported Overdenture Implant-supported overdentures use a dental bridge that is supported by dental implants. They are stable and permanent.
  • Fixed Full Arch Dental Implants – Fixed full arch dental implants attach permanently to the titanium rods inserted into your jawbone. You do not need to remove them to eat or sleep, and you will care for them the same way you care for your natural teeth.
  • Removable Implant-Supported Dentures – Removable implant-supported dentures snap onto the dental implants in your jawbone. They can be removed for cleaning and/or while you sleep.
  • Full Arch Implant Supported Bridge – A full arch implant supported bridge replaces all missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw. This is also called an All-on-4 procedure, and consists of placing four or more dental implants in the upper or lower jaw and attaching a permanent or temporary dental bridge.
  • Full Arch Zirconia Implants – Full arch zirconia implants are a type of dental implant that restores a full arch of teeth. The dental implants are made from solid zirconia rather than titanium. Zirconia is durable, hypoallergenic, and non-removable.

Am I a Good Candidate for Full Arch Implants?

We will complete a thorough examination to determine if you are a good candidate for full arch implants. We will discuss your oral and overall health, go over your medical history, and take dental x-rays. You may be a good candidate if:

  • You Have Sufficient Bone Density – You need sufficient jawbone to support dental implants. We may recommend bone grafting if you have bone loss.
  • You Are in Good General Health – You should be healthy enough to undergo oral surgery and handle anesthesia without risk of complications.
  • You Don’t Have an Unmanaged Chronic Disease – If you have a chronic disease like diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease, you may need to make sure your condition is managed and stable before undergoing a dental implant procedure.
  • You Can Commit to Pre-and Post-Surgical Care – You must be able to commit to all pre-and post-surgical instructions.
  • You Don’t Use Tobacco Products or Abuse Alcohol – Tobacco use and alcohol overuse can affect your healing and increase your risk of complications. You must be willing to quit using tobacco products at least three weeks before your surgery and for at least a year afterward.

Benefits of Full Arch Dental Implants

If your general dentist or physician has recommended multiple tooth extractions, you will need to undergo dental restoration to replace your missing teeth. Without restoration, you are at risk of complications like jawbone loss, deformity, discomfort, changes in your appearance, oral health issues, and malocclusion or misalignment. The benefits of getting full arch dental implants are:

  • Improved smile and appearance
  • Restored confidence and self-esteem
  • Reduced risk of oral and dental complications
  • Improved eating and speaking function
  • Semi-permanent solution for missing teeth
  • Natural-looking dental restorations that can last for decades when properly cared for
  • Ability to restore an entire arch of missing teeth in one procedure
