When a full-arch plan is considered
You may be struggling with a loose denture, multiple missing teeth or repeated failure of damaged teeth. We first assess which natural teeth can reasonably be saved. A full-arch implant plan is considered when replacement provides a suitable route to function. Treating one arch and treating both jaws are different scopes of care.
The number of implants is individual
An arch may be supported by different implant numbers and positions depending on bone, loading, the planned teeth and cleaning. Terms such as All-on-4 or All-on-6 describe specific approaches; they do not identify the right plan for every patient. The written plan specifies the configuration and why it is recommended.
Your teeth are planned with the surgery
The team assesses smile line, lip support, speech, space for the bridge and the bite between the jaws. Existing photographs or dentures can help identify preferences. Digital records and in-house laboratory coordination support the design. The clinical checks confirm fit, tooth position and access for cleaning.
