Your First Choice for Cosmetic Dentistry
Full Arch Dental Implants at Southland Dental Care
If you’re missing most (or all) of your teeth—or living with a denture that shifts—full arch dental implants may be the most secure way to rebuild your smile. This treatment anchors a full set of teeth to dental implants, helping you restore chewing strength and day-to-day confidence with a solution designed to last.
What “Full Arch” Means
Full arch dental implants replace an entire row of teeth at once. Instead of relying on removable suction or adhesives, the restoration is supported by implants placed in the jaw, creating a stable foundation for a natural-looking smile.
- Stability you can feel Implant support helps reduce slipping, clicking, and sore spots common with traditional dentures.
- Smile and bite support A fixed, full-arch restoration is designed to improve function, comfort, and everyday confidence.
- One plan, fully customized Your arch shape, bite, and esthetic goals guide every detail—from implant placement to the final teeth.
How Full Arch Dental Implants Work
Your visit starts with a comprehensive evaluation and imaging so we can understand bone levels, gum health, and bite alignment. From there, we map implant positions and design the teeth to fit your smile and facial features. After implant placement, you’ll transition through healing and restoration steps based on your needs and timeline.
Full Arch Options
- Implant-supported fixed bridge A full arch of teeth secured to implants for a non-removable feel (removed only by the dental team).
- All-on-4 / All-on-6 style solutions In many cases, a full arch can be supported by a strategic number of implants for strength and efficiency.
- Upper, lower, or both arches We’ll help you prioritize what will improve comfort and function first—and build from there.
Technology That Supports Precision
- 3D imaging to evaluate bone, anatomy, and implant positioning
- Digital scanning for comfortable, accurate records
- 3D printing support for efficient planning and fabrication workflows
Am I a Candidate?
You may be a candidate for full arch dental implants if you’re missing most or all teeth, have recurring problems with dentures, or need a more stable long-term solution. Candidates typically need healthy gums (or a plan to treat gum disease) and enough bone for implant support—if bone is limited, grafting or alternative strategies may be considered. The best next step is a consultation at Southland Dental Care in Sherman Oaks to review your goals and build a clear, personalized plan.

Full Arch Dental Implants FAQ
- What are full arch dental implants?
- Full arch dental implants replace an entire upper or lower row of teeth using implants as anchors for a full set of fixed teeth. The goal is a stable, natural-looking result that restores function and confidence.
- How is this different from dentures?
- Traditional dentures rest on the gums and may shift or rub. Full arch dental implants are supported by implants in the jaw, which typically improves stability, comfort, and chewing strength.
- Is All-on-4 or All-on-6 the same as full arch implants?
- They’re common approaches to full arch restoration. “All-on-4” and “All-on-6” generally refer to supporting a full arch with four or six implants, depending on anatomy, bite forces, and treatment goals.
- Does the procedure hurt?
- Most patients describe pressure more than pain. Your comfort plan may include local anesthesia and additional options based on your needs, and we’ll give clear aftercare instructions to help you recover smoothly.
- How long does treatment take?
- Timelines vary. Some patients can move quickly into a temporary restoration, while others need healing time or additional steps before final teeth are placed. Your exam and imaging determine the safest schedule.
- How long do full arch dental implants last?
- Implants are designed for long-term use, and many patients keep them for years with good home care and regular dental visits. Longevity depends on factors like bite, gum health, hygiene, and habits such as smoking.
- What if I’ve been told I don’t have enough bone?
- That doesn’t automatically rule you out. Imaging helps determine whether grafting, alternative implant positions, or different full-arch strategies can help you move forward safely.
- How much do full arch dental implants cost?
- Cost depends on how many implants are needed, the type of restoration, and whether additional care (like extractions, grafting, or gum treatment) is required. During your consultation, we’ll outline your options and provide a personalized estimate.
- How do I get started?
- Schedule a consultation at Southland Dental Care in Sherman Oaks. We’ll review your health history, take the right images, discuss your goals, and map out a step-by-step plan to rebuild your smile.
