What Is Full Arch Implant Restoration?
A full arch implant restoration is a modern tooth replacement solution that uses four to six dental implants to secure a full set of upper or lower teeth. By placing implants at strategic angles, this procedure provides a stable, lasting foundation for your new smile. It’s especially beneficial for patients who wear dentures or need a complete upper and/or lower arch replacement.
This type of restoration is sometimes referred to as an All-on-X dental implant treatment, where the “X” represents the number of implants used. At our Southlake dental practice, we often describe it as a teeth-in-a-day procedure because patients never leave our office without teeth.
Benefits of a Full Arch Implant Restoration
Choosing a full arch implant restoration comes with unique advantages compared to traditional tooth replacement methods:
- Lower treatment cost compared to replacing teeth one by one
- Shorter overall treatment timeline
- In many cases, no bone graft is needed
- Fully functional, natural-looking teeth
- A complete set of teeth secured in one procedure
- Immediate placement after extractions — you never go toothless
What Makes Our Southlake Restorative Dentist Different?
When you choose us for your full arch implant restoration, you receive care that goes beyond the basics.
We invest in advanced digital technology to ensure optimal results. This means faster adjustments, same-day corrections if needed, and improved esthetics compared to traditional fixed implant bridges. While other offices may send you to multiple specialists, our Southlake restorative dentists provide your entire treatment in one location.
Our focus on esthetics means your smile won’t just function better — it will look beautiful and natural.
The Procedure
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. We’ll take 3D iCAT scans, impressions, and photos to evaluate your jawbone and determine if you’re a candidate for a teeth-in-a-day procedure. Most patients are excellent candidates, even without significant bone density.
On the day of surgery, we extract any remaining teeth, place four to six implants, and secure a temporary bridge. You’ll leave with a complete smile that looks natural and feels comfortable. Over the next few months, your implants will heal and integrate with your jawbone. Once healing is complete, we’ll replace the temporary bridge with your permanent restoration, designed with a titanium or ceramic frame for strength and longevity.
The final result is a fixed restoration that looks, feels, and functions just like natural teeth.
