A full set of teeth, composed as one
When most or all of an arch is failing, a fixed bridge anchored on four to six implants replaces the whole set at once. Planned entirely in 3D, it is designed as a single, deliberate result rather than a row of separate repairs.
- Fixed, non-removable full-arch bridge
- Four to six implants per arch
- A same-day provisional set of teeth
- Final restoration crafted over the following months
One arch, one plan
A full-arch case lives or dies on the planning. We map the bone, the bite, and the final tooth positions in three dimensions first, then place the implants exactly where the design calls for them. On the same day, a fixed provisional bridge is fitted, so you leave with teeth rather than a wait.
Over the following months, as the implants integrate, we craft the definitive bridge. It is built for the way your face moves and the way you speak and eat, then finished with the same ceramic artistry we bring to a single veneer. The goal is an arch nobody reads as restored.
Composed, not assembled
The difference between a good full-arch result and a great one is composition. Tooth proportions, the line of the smile, the way light falls across the surface, the support the new teeth give the lips and cheeks: these are aesthetic decisions as much as clinical ones. We treat them that way, which is why we plan the finished smile before we place a single implant.
from the first implant to a fixed set of teeth you leave wearing
Illustrative of how a planned full-arch day runs in this demo practice. The provisional bridge is fitted the same day; the definitive one is crafted over the following months, and candidacy is confirmed at your 3D consultation.
Fixed arch, or removable
When a whole arch is failing there are three routes. This is how they actually differ once you are living with them.
| Fixed implant arch | Implant-retained denture | Conventional denture | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stays in the mouth | Yes, fixed permanently | Clips in, removed nightly | Removed nightly |
| Bite strength | Closest to natural teeth | Strong, with some limits | Softer foods over time |
| Palate coverage | None, taste is unaffected | Reduced | Full upper palate covered |
| Bone preservation | Implants keep bone loaded | Partial, at the implant sites | Bone recedes over the years |
| Implants per arch | Four to six | Two to four | None |
Illustrative comparison for a demo practice. Which route suits you depends on bone volume, bite and budget, all reviewed openly before treatment begins.
