Full-Arch Implants: Rebuilding a Complete Smile in Just One Day

Living with missing or failing teeth can impact everything from the way you enjoy meals to your everyday confidence. At Foothill Modern Dental in Foothill Ranch, Dr. Sarno and his compassionate team are proud to offer a transformative solution.

With full arch implants at our office, you can replace missing teeth and restore your smile in just one day. This approach blends advanced dental technology with highly personalized care, giving patients the chance to reclaim both function and aesthetics, comfortably and efficiently.

What Are Full-Arch Implants?

Full-arch dental implants are a comprehensive restorative treatment designed for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth on the upper or lower arch. Rather than placing individual implants for each missing tooth, this method relies on strategically positioned implants, typically four to six, that support an entire arch of beautiful, natural-looking prosthetic teeth.

This streamlined solution offers a stable and long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures. Because the full arch of prosthetic teeth is anchored securely to the jawbone, patients benefit from improved comfort, chewing strength, and jawbone health. A few key advantages of full-arch implants compared to dentures include:

  • Full smile restoration in a single appointment
  • No adhesives or slipping like with traditional dentures
  • Preservation of bone structure and facial contours
  • Custom-designed prosthetics for a natural look and feel

The One-Day Smile Transformation Process

One of the most empowering aspects of full-arch implants is the ability to walk in with missing teeth and leave the same day with a brand-new smile. Full-arch implants are designed for “immediate loading” with a new set of teeth, which means you can typically walk out with a set of temporary implant dentures on the same day as your implant surgery. 

At Foothill Modern Dental, Dr. Sarno leverages the latest in digital diagnostics and treatment planning software to ensure each case is approached with precision and care. Here’s what the typical one-day full-arch implant experience looks like:

  • Digital imaging and 3D planning to map optimal implant placement
  • Comfort-focused sedation options to ensure a relaxed experience
  • Surgical placement of implants followed by a temporary, functional arch of teeth
  • Final custom prosthesis placed after the 3-6 month healing process, delivering long-term performance

This same-day solution is ideal for busy individuals who want maximum results with minimal downtime, and our in-house technology allows these procedures to be delivered with efficiency and precision at Foothill Modern Dental.

Who Is a Candidate for Full-Arch Implants?

If you have widespread tooth loss, extensive dental damage, or are currently wearing dentures but want a more stable alternative, you may be an excellent candidate for full-arch dental implants. 

Dr. Sarno takes time to understand each patient’s lifestyle, goals, and oral health before recommending treatment. Typical candidates for full-arch implants include patients who:

  • Have multiple failing or missing teeth
  • Desire a long-term, non-removable option
  • Have adequate jawbone structure (which can sometimes be restored)
  • Are in generally good systemic health

Thanks to advanced techniques used at Foothill Modern Dental, even patients who’ve been told they lack sufficient bone density may still qualify for implants with specific preparatory procedures, such as bone grafts. Our honest and conservative approach ensures you're only recommended for treatment that truly fits your health and lifestyle.
