Full-Arch Implants
Replace A Full Arch Of Teeth
Restore an Entire Row of Teeth With Full-Arch Implants in Warren
When most or all of the teeth in an upper or lower arch are missing or cannot be maintained, replacing each tooth individually isn't the only option. Full-arch implants in Warren use strategically positioned dental implants to support a complete row of replacement teeth. The solution is designed around both function and appearance.
Dr. Wendy Sanger coordinates with local oral surgeons for surgical implant placement and can then complete the case with the appropriate replacement teeth once the implants are ready.
Frequently Asked Questions About Full-Arch Implants
Q What are full-arch dental implants?
Full-arch dental implants use multiple implants to support a complete row of replacement teeth. This approach can replace an upper arch, a lower arch, or both arches depending on the patient's needs.
Q Are full-arch implants the same as All-on-4?
All-on-4 refers to a full-arch treatment concept that uses four strategically positioned implants to support an arch of replacement teeth. Full-arch implant treatment is a broader category and may use a different number or configuration of implants based on the individual case.
Q Do you need one dental implant for every missing tooth with full-arch treatment?
Full-arch treatment generally uses a smaller number of strategically positioned implants to support multiple replacement teeth, vs using one implant per tooth. The appropriate number of implants is determined during treatment planning.
Q Can full-arch implants replace all of the upper or lower teeth?
A full-arch implant restoration can replace an entire upper or lower row of teeth. Patients who need replacement of both arches may also be evaluated for treatment in both the upper and lower jaws.
Q Can full-arch implants help improve chewing ability?
Full-arch implants can provide stable support for replacement teeth, which may make biting and chewing more comfortable and efficient. Individual results depend on factors such as implant health, the final restoration, and a patient's overall oral condition.
Q How long does full-arch implant treatment take?
The timeline for full-arch implant treatment varies depending on the surgical plan, healing, implant integration, and restorative process. Your dental providers can explain the anticipated stages and timeline after evaluating your individual case.
Q Are full-arch implant teeth removable?
Full-arch implant teeth can have different designs, including options that remain attached to the implants. The appropriate design depends on the implant configuration, oral health, restorative needs, and overall treatment plan.
Q How do you care for a full-arch implant restoration?
A full-arch implant restoration requires consistent daily cleaning around the prosthetic and implants as well as regular professional dental care. Your dental team can demonstrate cleaning techniques appropriate for the specific design of your restoration.
