What are Full Arch Dental Implants?
The primary goal of Full-arch implants is to restore an entire arch of missing teeth by using a series of 4-6 dental implants. After these implants, your dentist will make a set of implant-supported dentures that may be either permanent or removable that clip them onto the implants.
A full arch dental implant is a dental implant that replaces a missing tooth or teeth in the arch of the mouth. The arch is the first part of the mouth that meets each other at the palate. The advantage of a full arch implant is that the implant will be located in the jaw bone directly, so there is a better chance that the implant will last a lifetime.

This implant has its own benefits for your gums & jawbone, as it may last for decades with proper care once it has been done. You won’t have to think about dental implants anymore once you have them.
