Full-Arch Dental Implants

The cost of full-arch dental implants varies based on factors such as the number of implants placed, whether bone grafting is needed, and the prosthesis material selected (resin ceramic or zirconia). During your consultation at our Fresno office, the team will outline a treatment plan with a clear investment breakdown.

All-on-4 uses four strategically angled implants per arch to support a full prosthesis, while All-on-6 places six implants for additional support. Your jawbone density, the arch being treated, and your long-term goals all factor into the recommendation. Both approaches are evaluated during treatment planning at Fresno Prosthodontics.

Patients missing all or most teeth in an arch, or those with teeth that are failing and need extraction, may be candidates. Adequate jawbone density is important, though bone grafting can sometimes address deficiencies. A comprehensive evaluation with imaging at our office helps determine eligibility.

The timeline varies by case. Some patients receive a temporary prosthesis on the day of surgery, while the final restoration is typically delivered after implants have fully integrated with the bone, often several months later. Our team will discuss your expected timeline during the planning phase.

Full-arch implants are a fixed restoration that functions similarly to natural teeth, while traditional dentures are removable and rely on adhesive or suction. Implant-supported restorations generally provide greater stability, improved chewing ability, and help preserve jawbone density. The right choice depends on your clinical situation and preferences.

Full-arch restorations are maintained much like natural teeth, with regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings. The team at Fresno Prosthodontics will provide hygiene instructions specific to your prosthesis type and schedule follow-up visits to monitor implant health over time.
