Full Arch Replacement

Restore All of Your Teeth With Dental Implants

This is the pinnacle of dental implant treatments.  In the past, when a person was faced with having to lose all of their teeth, removable dentures were our only option. Today, we are able to transfer people from having no teeth, or a set of failing teeth, to a fixed set on implants, oftentimes on the same day!

Why replace teeth?

When a person has no teeth, there are no tooth roots in the jawbone to stimulate bone growth so the body senses the jawbone is no longer necessary and begins to dissolve it away. This results in facial collapse. It often becomes difficult to wear a denture because there is little bone left to support it. In addition, as the bone melts away, facial muscles migrate, or pull back from their natural position. Lips cave in as they lose support.  People with no teeth appear aged.

Leaving in diseased, unhealthy teeth may contribute to systemic health issues. Studies indicate that poor oral health can also lead to cardiovascular issues. Periodontal Health(www.perio.org) reports that the potential effects of gum disease are associated with a greater risk of developing certain diseases or experiencing certain events:

  • Coronary artery disease: 2 – 4 times greater
  • Stroke: 2 – 3 times greater
  • Adverse pregnancy outcomes: 4 – 7 times greater
  • Diabetes: 2 – 4 times greater
  • Chronic respiratory disease: 2 – 5 times greater

Treatment Alternatives

There are 4 main choices in treatment options for the fully edentulous arch:

Removable Options (You remove your teeth at night-time)

Fixed Options  (Your teeth stay in at night, every night)
