Rebuild Your Smile’s Appearance and Function with Full Arch Reconstruction

A full-arch restoration procedure in Washington, Utah, is ideal for patients who have lost all or most of their teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Expertly administered at Cotton Creek Dental, full arch restoration with dental implants restores your aesthetics and ability to chew and speak confidently. If you have lost multiple missing teeth, rediscover your healthy, functional smile by scheduling an appointment with Drs. David Brown and Jacob Jennings.

What is full-arch restoration?

It’s hard to imagine, but you can lose most or all your teeth in the lower, upper, or both jaws. Common causes of extensive tooth loss include advanced gum disease, accidents, poor genetics, and widespread tooth decay. Full-arch restoration reconstructs the upper or lower arch with functional prosthetic teeth.

Full-arch reconstruction typically involves:

  • Dental implants: The dentist surgically places 4-6 implants at precise locations in the jawbone. These implants fuse biologically with the jawbone to form a sturdy foundation to anchor your replacement teeth.
  • A full arch denture/bridge: The doctor attaches a complete denture on the implants to restore your aesthetics and functionality.

What does full arch reconstruction involve?

Full arch restoration uses precision and minimally invasive techniques to provide quick results for your smile. Your treatment starts with a consultation. Drs Brown and Jennings will scrutinize your medical history and use advanced imaging tools to examine your bite, soft tissues, and jawbone health. An in-depth consultation ensures optimal placement for the implants to help you regain full function.

The next step is surgical placement of the implants at pre-determined locations in the jawbone. You don’t need an implant for every tooth lost. We will use 4-6 implants per arch—strategically angled—to provide maximum support for your replacement teeth. After implant surgery, we’ll screw a temporary yet functional set of prosthetic teeth to maintain your aesthetics and oral function as your gums heal.

Dental implants are bio-inert. They do not react with your oral tissues, but they fuse with the jawbone over time. This fusion (osseointegration) ensures maximum support for your replacement teeth.

Once your implants heal and fuse with the jawbone, you’ll return to our office to replace the temporary restoration with a customized permanent denture. Your new teeth look, feel, and work like natural teeth!

What are the benefits of full-arch implants?

Replacing an entire arch of missing teeth with dental implants offers several functional and cosmetic benefits.

Some include:

  • Enhanced oral function: Dental implants restore your ability to bite, chew, and speak comfortably.
  • Stability: Unlike traditional dentures, which may shift or fall out when teeth are used, full-arch implants remain stable.
  • Prevents bone loss: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial contours.
  • Durability: Dental implants provide a long-term solution for missing teeth. This innovative replacement system can last several decades with proper maintenance.
  • Aesthetics: When you lose teeth, you deserve a realistic-looking replacement. Full-arch implants replace your missing teeth without sacrificing your natural aesthetics. You’ll enjoy renewed confidence and a professional image.
