Full-Arch Dental Implants
 Missing most or all of your teeth can affect your confidence, health, and quality of life. Full-arch dental implants offer a lasting, stable solution for individuals seeking to restore their entire smile with natural-looking, fixed teeth. At Singing River Dentistry, we provide expert care in delivering implant-supported dentures—also known as All-on-4®, All-on-6, fixed implant dentures, or Teeth in a Day—to help you regain function and aesthetics in one seamless treatment.
What Are Full-Arch Dental Implants?
Full-arch dental implants are a modern restorative option that uses four to six dental implants to support an entire upper or lower prosthetic arch. These implants act as artificial tooth roots, anchoring a permanent, custom-fabricated set of teeth that look and function like natural dentition.
Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums and may slip or require adhesives, fixed implant dentures are securely attached to implants, providing superior stability and long-term oral health benefits.
| • |
All-on-4 and All-on-6 - Popular techniques using 4 to 6 implants to anchor a full arch of teeth.
|
| • |
Teeth in a Day - Often allows placement of a temporary arch on the same day as surgery.
|
| • |
Ideal Candidates - Individuals missing all teeth in one or both jaws seeking a permanent solution. |
Implant-supported dentures - help patients eat, speak, and smile with greater confidence, comfort, and security.
Benefits of Full-Arch Implants vs. Traditional Dentures
Full-arch implants are more than just a cosmetic upgrade—they offer life-changing improvements in comfort, function, and long-term oral health.
| • |
Stability and Function - No slipping, clicking, or need for adhesives.
|
| • |
Enhanced Chewing Ability - Regain bite strength to eat a variety of foods without restriction.
|
| • |
Bone Preservation - Stimulates jawbone to prevent deterioration and facial collapse.
|
| • |
Natural-Looking Smile - Custom-designed to fit your facial features and preferences.
|
| • |

Compared to removable dentures, permanent dentures implants deliver a transformative upgrade in stability, functionality, and aesthetics.
Full-Arch Implant Procedure Overview
Understanding the treatment process can ease anxiety and help you feel confident about your decision. The journey to a new smile typically follows these key phases:
| 1. |
Initial consultation, including full-mouth evaluation and 3D imaging.
|
| 2. |
Oral surgery to place dental implants—may include extractions if needed.
|
| 3. |
Same-day placement of a temporary arch (if you qualify for immediate load).
|
| 4. |
Healing phase, allowing implants to fuse with the bone (osseointegration).
|
| 5. |
Final placement of a custom-fabricated, permanent prosthesis. |
Our dental team offers sedation and anesthesia options to ensure your comfort. For patients with severe bone loss, advanced options like zygomatic implants may be available.
Same-Day & All-on-4 Options Explained
Two of the most requested full-arch solutions are All-on-4 dental implants and same day full arch implants. Both methods streamline treatment while minimizing recovery time.
| • |
Teeth in a Day - Temporary teeth are placed immediately after implant surgery.
|
| • |
All-on-4 - Uses four implants placed at strategic angles to maximize bone contact.
|
| • |
All-on-6 - Utilizes six implants for additional support in select cases.
|
| • |
Ideal Candidates - Patients with sufficient bone and good oral health may qualify for immediate-load protocols.
|
| • |
Digital Planning - Guided surgery and digital design enhance accuracy and patient outcomes. |
These innovations allow for fewer appointments, faster recovery, and immediate aesthetic and functional benefits.

FAQs
What are full-arch dental implants?
Full-arch dental implants are a permanent tooth replacement solution that uses four to six implants to support an entire arch of prosthetic teeth. This approach restores function and appearance for those missing all or most teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
Is it really possible to get new teeth in one day?
Yes. Many patients qualify for immediate-load protocols such as All-on-4, which allow a temporary set of teeth to be placed the same day as implant surgery. A final prosthesis is placed after healing is complete.
How much do full-arch implants cost?
The cost varies based on the number of implants, materials used, and whether additional procedures like bone grafting are required. A personalized consultation at Singing River Dentistry can provide a detailed estimate and financing options.
What if I’ve been told I don’t have enough bone for implants?
Even if you have bone loss, you may still be eligible. Bone grafting or alternative solutions like zygomatic implants can make treatment possible. Our team will evaluate your case with advanced imaging and recommend the best approach. |
