Restorative and Non-Removable
Full Arch Implants in West Michigan
If you are missing all of your teeth or dealing with failing dentition, full arch implants are a revolutionary solution for replacing a complete set of teeth. This contemporary restoration system allows us to replace unsecured, painful, and unstable dentures with a non-removable, full dental bridge supported by only 4-6 strategically placed dental implants. The result is a restoration that improves your quality of life, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods again with renewed confidence.
Why Choose Full Arch Implants?
These systems are designed explicitly for jaws with failing or missing teeth, offering significant advantages over traditional full dentures:
Fixed Solution: This concept replaces unsecured dentures, which are often painful, inconvenient, and unstable, making chewing difficult.
Cost-Effective: Your new replacement teeth require only 4-6 implants per jaw. With fewer implants needed, the overall cost is lower than with other full-arch methods.
Reduced Need for Bone Grafting: The special tilting of posterior implants ensures secure, stable anchorage of the arch, typically making complex bone-grafting surgery unnecessary.
Faster Restoration: A temporary set of fixed teeth can usually be placed on the same day of surgery, allowing you to return to everyday life immediately.
The Full Arch Implant Process
A full arch implant replaces your complete arch of missing teeth with a dental bridge supported by your implants.
PHASE 1: Implant Placement
Strategic Design: 3D imaging and virtual surgical planning enable dental implants to be strategically placed in the jaw.
Reduced Surgery: The unique tilting of the implants maximizes the use of available bone, ensuring greater stability and reducing the need for bone grafting.
PHASE 2: IMMEDIATE FUNCTION
Same-Day Teeth: Typically, a temporary set of fixed teeth can be placed on the same day of surgery. This allows you to get back to everyday life right away.
Healing: After a short healing period, your restorative dentist will place the final, non-removable bridge.
BENEFITS OF FINAL RESTORATION
The final bridge is a secure, fixed solution that:
Restores your ability to chew and enjoy a wide variety of foods.
Is significantly more stable and comfortable than unsecured dentures.
Is supported by a scientifically proven method.
