For patients who have lost most or all of their teeth — or who are facing that reality — full arch implants offer something that conventional dentures simply cannot: a permanent, fixed solution that functions, feels, and looks like a natural set of teeth. Rather than a prosthetic that rests on the gums or requires removal at night, full arch implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, giving patients the stability, confidence, and freedom that come with teeth they never have to think twice about.
At Mesa Dental, full arch implant cases are handled with the kind of surgical precision and comprehensive planning that this level of treatment demands. Dr. RJ brings specialized surgical expertise to each full arch case, working alongside Dr. Emily Browner to ensure that every patient receives coordinated, seamless care from evaluation through final restoration. For Summerlin and Las Vegas area patients who are ready to reclaim a fully functional smile, our team is equipped to make it happen.
Teeth become stained due to pigments called chromogens that attach to the white, outer part of your tooth.
Full arch implants — also referred to as implant-supported full arch prosthetics or All-on-X restorations — replace an entire arch of missing or failing teeth using a small number of strategically placed implants to support a fixed prosthesis. Rather than placing one implant per missing tooth, this approach uses four to six implants per arch, positioned at precise angles to maximize contact with available bone and distribute the forces of chewing evenly across the jaw.
The result is a full set of teeth that is permanently fixed in place, requires no adhesives or removal for cleaning, and restores full chewing function along with the facial structure support that is lost when teeth are absent for extended periods. For patients who have struggled with loose or uncomfortable dentures, or who have been living without teeth for some time, the transformation is significant on every level.
The evidence behind full arch implant restorations is well established. A study published in the National Institutes of Health’s National Library of Medicine evaluated full-arch rehabilitations supported by upright and tilted implants and found implant survival rates ranging from 97.2% to 100% over a follow-up period of up to five years. These outcomes reflect what clinicians have observed consistently across decades of full arch implant use: when cases are properly planned and executed, the results are highly predictable and long-lasting.
Beyond survival rates, full arch implants offer a meaningful clinical advantage over removable dentures in terms of bone preservation. When teeth are lost and not replaced with implants, the underlying jawbone begins to resorb over time due to the absence of the stimulation that natural tooth roots once provided. This progressive bone loss can change the shape of the face, destabilize remaining oral structures, and eventually limit the patient’s candidacy for implant treatment altogether. Full arch implants halt that process at the source by restoring the stimulation the bone needs to remain healthy and dense.
Professional in-office bleaching results generally last for one to three years with proper care.
The most common candidates for full arch implants are patients who are fully edentulous — meaning they have no remaining teeth in one or both arches — or those whose remaining teeth are so compromised that extraction and full arch restoration is the most clinically sound path forward. Patients who have been wearing conventional dentures for years and are experiencing deteriorating fit, discomfort, or loss of chewing function are also frequently strong candidates.
Adequate bone volume is an important candidacy factor, as the implants need sufficient bone to anchor securely. Many full arch protocols, however, are specifically designed to work around areas of reduced bone density by placing implants at angles that access denser bone in different regions of the jaw. This is one of the reasons full arch implants can be an option even for patients who have experienced some degree of bone resorption. A thorough evaluation, including three-dimensional imaging, allows us to assess exactly what is available and design a placement plan accordingly.
The following are the primary candidacy considerations we evaluate during your consultation:
Reviewing these factors together allows us to build an individualized plan that sets each patient up for the best possible long-term outcome.
The outcome of a full arch implant case depends enormously on the surgical skill and restorative coordination behind it. Dr. RJ’s expertise in surgical implant placement combined with Dr. Browner’s background in comprehensive cosmetic and restorative dentistry means that our patients benefit from end-to-end continuity of care — the surgeon placing your implants and the dentist designing your final restoration are part of the same team, communicating from day one. Our preventive and whole-health approach also means we evaluate your candidacy with your long-term oral health in mind, not just the procedure itself.
We also understand that full arch implants represent a significant financial investment, and we believe that investment should be accessible. Our flexible financing options allow patients to pursue the full scope of treatment they need without delay, and our fee-for-service model ensures that our recommendations are never shaped by insurance constraints — only by what is genuinely best for you.
Our team brings together the surgical and restorative expertise to take even complex full arch cases from consultation to completion with the precision and care they require. Dr. Browner is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the Academy of General Dentistry, and our practice is committed to ongoing education in implant dentistry to ensure that every patient benefits from the most current techniques and materials available.
