How Full‑Arch Dental Implant Treatment Works
Planning
We take a CBCT 3D scan, photos, and impressions to design your new smile and create a surgical guide.
Placement
Dr. Meeker places the implants using guided techniques. In most cases, a same‑day provisional bridge is secured so you don’t go without teeth.
Final Teeth
After healing (typically 3–4 months), we deliver your custom final bridge (zirconia or hybrid) for a strong, natural look.
Is Full‑Arch
Right for Me?
Full‑arch dental implants (All‑on‑4/6/X) replace all teeth in your upper or lower arch with a fixed bridge anchored to 4–6+ implants. They are ideal if you have many failing or missing teeth, dislike your dentures, or have been told you have bone loss. Most people qualify after a 3D CBCT scan and exam.
Your Questions about Full‑Arch Dental Implants, Answered.
Will I be without teeth?
In most cases, no. You’ll leave surgery with a fixed provisional bridge the same day.
How many implants do I need?
Typically 4–6 per arch, determined by bone volume and your bite.
What if I’ve been told I don’t have enough bone?
Advanced planning and angled implants often make treatment possible. Your CBCT scan will guide the decision.
Does it hurt?
You’ll be fully numb for the procedure. Most patients manage recovery with over‑the‑counter medication and rest.
How long will it last?
With excellent home care and routine maintenance, implants can last for decades.
