Full arch dental implants are a popular treatment option for patients missing all their upper or lower teeth. The procedure involves having four metal rods inserted into the jawbone, and then a set of replacement teeth affixed to them. This procedure can take months to complete because it requires multiple visits.
Implants
Full arch dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing all your teeth. The implants are made of titanium or “metal-free” zirconia, both biocompatible materials that integrate well with your natural bone.
Each implant is topped with a tooth-like crown that blends in with your smile and feels just like your own natural tooth. Implants are a popular alternative to removable dentures and are often preferred by patients.
Dental implants can replace all your missing teeth, either individually or as part of a fixed bridge or All-on-4 treatment concept (also known as Teeth-in-a-Day). With this non-removable permanent restoration, you’ll be able to enjoy the foods you love and speak clearly without worrying about embarrassing slips or accidents.

All-on-4
The modern solution for missing teeth is a fixed bridge of full arch implant monroe ga or All-on-4 dental implants. It is a more stable and cost-effective alternative to regular prosthetic dentures. In fact, it is the preferred option for restoring full upper and lower arch tooth loss and can restore proper oral function in a shorter time period than a traditional denture.
The All-on-4 treatment concept is designed for patients who are partially or completely edentulous and have poor bone health that prevents them from qualifying for conventional vertically oriented implant-supported teeth. The All-on-4 approach uses four implants to support a permanent full arch of replacement teeth.
The procedure begins by preparing the implant sites with surface treatments such as sandblasting and acid etching to aid osseointegration. The dentist then places two screws in the front section of your mouth and two at an angulation of up to 45 degrees in the back section of the maxilla or mandible. The prosthetic arch of acrylic or porcelain teeth is then secured to the screws.
Hybrid
Hybrid full arch implant monroe ga are a non-removable permanent denture that rests on your jawbone. They work well for edentulous patients who don’t have enough bone to support an implant-supported bridge, or for those who want a more natural looking alternative to traditional removable dentures.
The hybrid metal and acrylic prosthesis consists of an internal metal core (titanium or chrome-nickel) that is covered with acrylic gums and teeth. This type of hybrid denture is the cheapest option and provides a high level of aesthetics, similar to that provided by overdentures.
The smart composite hybrid prothesis has a custom metal substructure that’s milled from titanium, with porcelain laid on top of it. This framework reduces chewing and biting pressure, and is designed to be reversible for cleaning. It also has a white colour, which eliminates grey metal show-through under the porcelain and enhances the translucency of the prosthesis. Zirconia hybrid dental implants are stronger than conventional acrylic frameworks and offer a more natural cosmetic appearance.
Treatment Options
Full arch dental implants are today’s gold standard for replacing missing teeth. The procedure is multi-step and involves multiple visits to the dentist, X-rays and impressions taken of your mouth, and months of healing time. The implant system consists of a pair or set of metal rods (either titanium or “metal-free” zirconia) that anchor fixed bridges or All-on-4/hybrid full-mouth restorations.
