Full-arch implants, explained
What a full-arch restoration actually is, how a few implants can anchor a whole set of fixed teeth, and the plain answers to the questions everyone asks first.
- What All-on-4 actually isAll-on-4 replaces a full row of teeth using just four implants — two straight in front, two tilted in back — with a fixed set of teeth on top. Here is how and why it works.
- Full-arch vs. individual implantsWhen most teeth are gone, replacing them one implant at a time is rarely the right answer. Here is how full-arch treatment compares to individual implants — cost, surgery, and bone.
- Fixed vs. removable full-arch optionsFull-arch implants come in two families — teeth that never come out, and an implant overdenture that snaps in and lifts out. Here is the honest comparison to help you choose.
- Teeth in a day, explained"Teeth in a day" means leaving surgery with a fixed set of temporary teeth on your implants — not final teeth. Here is what it really includes, and what still happens later.
- The parts of a full-arch restorationA full-arch restoration is more than "new teeth." It is implants, connectors, a supporting framework, and the visible teeth — each with a job. Here is every part, in plain language.
- All-on-4 vs. All-on-6Four implants or six? Both restore a full arch with fixed teeth. The right number depends on your bone, your bite, and your jaw — here is how the choice is actually made.
