Dental implants, the small titanium pegs that serve as artificial roots following tooth loss, are widely considered the most effective tooth replacement solution. However, for patients who’ve lost all of their upper or lower teeth, replacing each with a dedicated implant is often impractical. This is where full-arch restoration comes in.
Full-arch restoration in Van Nuys uses a handful of implants (often four), placed at specific spots and angles in the jaw, to support a full arch of replacement teeth. Once the implants are permanently in place following osseointegration (usually about six months), the denture is secured to them, restoring biting, chewing, and speaking functionality, with a firmer foundation than traditional dentures.
The Full-Arch Restoration Process
From beginning to end, tooth replacement with implant dentures typically takes about six months. The process begins with a consultation with Dr. Peter Suh, who will review your gum and jawbone health to determine implant suitability. After the implants are firmly in place, we design and place your custom restoration. Once fit and comfort are ensured, you’re once again equipped with a confident smile and a secure, natural-feeling bite.
