What are full arch Dental implants?


Dental implants are a type of tooth replacement option that can be used to restore your smile. They
are typically made of titanium and are surgically placed into the jawbone. Once the dental implants
have bonded with the jawbone, they can be used to support a dental prosthetic (such as a denture,
bridge, or crown).

Who is a good candidate for Full Arch Dental Implants?


Full arch dental implants are ideal for patients who have lost all of their teeth in either the upper or
lower jaw, or both. If you have healthy gums and enough bone to support the implants, you may be a
good candidate for this procedure.

What are the benefits of Full Arch Dental Implants?


There are many benefits to choosing full arch dental implants, including:

- No bone grafting needed: With traditional dental implants, a bone graft is often required in order
to provide a solid foundation for the implant. However, with full arch dental implants, there is no
need for a bone graft because the implants are placed on top of the existing jawbone.

- No sinus lifts needed: A sinus lift is a common procedure that is required in order to place
traditional dental implants in the upper jaw. This is because the sinuses are located close to the
jawbone and can interfere with the placement of the implants. However, with full arch dental
implants, there is no need for a sinus lift because the implants are placed on top of the existing
jawbone.

- No specialist needed: Full arch dental implants can be placed by a general dentist, which means
that you don’t need to see a specialist for this procedure.

What can I expect during the treatment process?


The treatment process for full arch dental implants typically takes place over the course of several
months. During the first phase of treatment, the implant surgeon will place the titanium implants
into your jawbone.

Once the implants have bonded with the jawbone, you will need to wait for them to heal. This
process can take up to six months. During the second phase of treatment, the implant surgeon will
attach the abutment to the implant. The abutment is a small connector piece that will be used to
support the dental prosthetic.

Once the abutment is in place, you will need to wait for it to heal. This process can take up to two
weeks. During the third and final phase of treatment, the implant surgeon will attach the dental
prosthetic to the abutment. Once the dental prosthetic is in place, you will be able to use it just like
your natural teeth.

Aftercare tips:
There are a few aftercare tips that you should keep in mind if you are considering full arch dental
implants.

First, it is important to practice good oral hygiene. This means that you should brush and floss your
teeth regularly. Additionally, you should see your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings.

Second, you should avoid eating hard and crunchy foods. This can help prevent the dental prosthetic
from becoming damaged.

Third, you should avoid smoking. Smoking can increase your risk of developing gum disease. fourth,
you should take care when cleaning your dental prosthetic. You should use a soft-bristled
toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.

Conclusion:
Full arch dental implants are a great option for those who are looking to restore their smile. They
have many benefits, including that they do not require bone grafting or sinus lifts. Additionally, they
can be placed by a general dentist rather than a specialist. If you are considering full arch dental
implants, be sure to talk to your dentist about the treatment process and aftercare tips. Additionally,
be sure to ask about the cost of treatment.
