We offer full arch dental implants at our periodontal office in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Full arch dental implants are designed to permanently replace all the missing teeth in a dental arch, either upper, lower, or both.
Rather than replacing each missing tooth individually, we strategically place up to six titanium implants in the jaw bone to support a complete dental arch. These implant posts serve as stable anchors for a fixed prosthetic set of teeth designed to look, feel, and function like your real teeth.
This procedure is an excellent choice for patients who:
Patients with a history of gum disease that has been successfully treated and stabilized, bone deterioration, or failing dental work often benefit from this approach. If a bone graft is necessary to support the implants, we will address that as part of your treatment plan.

Your journey begins with a complimentary evaluation, including a full periodontal exam, 3D CT scan, infection screening if needed, and a review of your medical history. This thorough assessment helps us determine if you are a candidate and whether any healthy teeth can be saved.
We create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your oral health needs. During this phase, we determine the number of implant posts required to support your dental arch, evaluate whether bone grafting is necessary, and review your options for sedation to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
On the day of surgery, we remove any remaining failing teeth, treat any gum infection with laser therapy, and place the implant posts in the jaw bone. A set of solid temporary teeth are custom fabricated by a laboratory and securely attached the following day so you can have a full beautiful smile in a day.
Over the next 4 to 6 months, the implants integrate with your bone tissue in a process called osseointegration. This phase is crucial to long-term success. Your recovery time is typically quick, and most patients return to normal activities within a few days.
Once healing is complete, we place your permanent prosthetic tooth set. Ours are made from ceramic, not acrylic, for greater strength, aesthetics, and longevity. They are easier to clean, more resistant to staining, and less prone to cracking.
While this is a highly successful procedure, it’s important to understand potential risks:
Our team has the training and technology to detect early signs of implant complications and intervene with the Laser Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure (LAPIP), a proven laser treatment that can stop infection, preserve bone, and help avoid implant loss when caught in time.
We offer a dramatically higher level of care than many corporate clinics or general offices offering full arch implants:
If you are tired of the limitations of traditional dentures, or worried about losing your natural teeth, full arch dental implants may be the permanent solution you have been looking for. They restore function, appearance, and confidence—and can transform your quality of life.
Full mouth dental implants offer a permanent, fixed solution for extensive tooth loss. They improve chewing, speech, comfort, and overall quality of life. Because they help preserve the jaw bone and facial structure, they also prevent the sunken appearance that can come with traditional dentures. However, they do require a higher upfront investment, a surgical procedure, and careful post-op care. Some patients may also need bone grafting or may not qualify due to certain medical conditions or untreated gum disease.
Yes, for many patients, full arch dental implants are a worthwhile investment. They provide a long-term solution to tooth loss, offering superior comfort, stability, and aesthetics compared to removable dentures, with a high success rate when properly planned and maintained. They also help preserve jaw bone and facial structure, improving overall quality of life.
