Full arch implants can last for decades with proper care and regular dental check-ups.
The first step in the full arch implant process is an initial consultation and examination with Dr. Kim at Candelas Dentistry. During this appointment, Dr. Kim will assess your oral health, review your medical history, and discuss your treatment goals. She will also conduct a thorough examination of your mouth, including X-rays and possibly a CT scan, to evaluate the condition of your jawbone and determine if you are a good candidate for full arch implants.
The second step in the process is the placement of the implants. This is a surgical procedure, performed under local anesthesia or sedation, in which Dr. Kim will insert the titanium posts into your jawbone. The number of implants needed will depend on the specifics of your case, but typically, four to six implants are used for a full arch. After the implants are placed, a temporary set of teeth will be attached to them, allowing you to eat and speak normally while the implants heal and fuse with the bone.
The final step in the full arch implant process is the attachment of the permanent arch of teeth. This typically occurs several months after the implant placement, once the implants have fully integrated with the bone. The permanent arch is custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly and match the color and shape of your natural teeth. Once it is attached to the implants, you will have a complete, functional, and beautiful smile.
Full arch implants restore the full function of your mouth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Unlike removable dentures, which can slip and cause discomfort, full arch implants are fixed in place, providing a stable and comfortable solution to tooth loss.
Full arch implants look and feel like natural teeth, providing a significant aesthetic improvement over traditional dentures. They are custom-made to match your existing teeth and fit perfectly in your mouth, resulting in a natural and attractive smile.
One of the significant benefits of full arch implants is that they help to preserve the jawbone. When teeth are lost, the jawbone begins to deteriorate due to lack of stimulation. Implants provide this stimulation, helping to maintain the bone and prevent further loss.
People with full arch implants often report a higher quality of life compared to those with traditional dentures.
