Full Arch Replacement

Dentures are a popular option for patients missing several or all of their teeth, but traditional dentures are often uncomfortable and hard to use. Modern technology, however, has made it possible to support dentures with implants, boosting their functionality and comfort! Our experienced oral surgeons at our office can help you restore your smile with the benefits of all-on-4 technique.


If you are looking for a stable, lasting solution for replacing multiple missing teeth, our doctors may recommend implant-supported dentures. Implant-retained dentures are very similar in form to traditional dentures; however, they are stabilized by dental implants. Very often denture wearers complain that dentures become loose and “float” around the mouth, limiting their ability to eat and speak comfortably. Implant dentures are a cost-effective solution, and in many cases, we can actually retrofit an existing denture with implants.

The first step in anchoring your denture with dental implants is the placement of the implants. The dental implants, which are similar in appearance to screws, are surgically inserted into the jawbone in order to securely anchor your denture. While the specific number of implants required will depend on your individual needs, most cases require 4-6 dental implants per denture. Once the implants have been placed and allowed sufficient healing time, your denture is attached on top. This provides your denture with exceptional stability. In fact, many patients report that their implant-retained dentures feel and function more like their natural teeth.
