All services
Planning for an entire arch of teeth
A full-arch plan considers remaining teeth, bone, bite, appearance, health history, cleaning needs, and budget. The name of a technique does not tell us whether it is right for you.
Understand the stages and team
Ask who plans and performs any surgical work, who designs the prosthesis, how temporary teeth are handled, and what healing or follow-up will involve.
Compare alternatives
Fixed implant-supported teeth, removable implant dentures, and conventional dentures differ in maintenance, cost, timing, and suitability. Review the tradeoffs before deciding.
Guide overview
Full-arch implant treatment replaces an entire arch of teeth with a prosthesis supported by implants. Fixed and removable options have different requirements, maintenance, and tradeoffs.
Compare the paths
Removable implant overdenture
Uses implants for added support but is removed by the patient for cleaning.
Conventional denture
Does not use implants and differs in support, stability, maintenance, and cost factors.
How planning unfolds
- 01
Listen and examine
Begin with your concerns, goals, health history, examination, and the records needed to understand the problem.
- 02
Compare options
Review reasonable alternatives, their tradeoffs, maintenance needs, and which clinicians would be involved.
- 03
Plan the sequence
Agree on priorities and the order of care before treatment begins. Timing is individual and is confirmed only after evaluation.
- 04
Review and maintain
The final stage includes checking function and appearance and discussing home care and professional follow-up.
The clinician’s role
Dr. Pooya’s prosthodontic role is to evaluate the restorative result, explain reasonable choices, and coordinate the agreed plan. The team will let you know who performs each surgical or specialty stage of your care.
What shapes cost
- Number and type of restorations
- Diagnostic records and planning needs
- Laboratory and material choices
- Whether other clinicians or preparatory care are needed
- Insurance benefits and financing arrangements
Questions to bring
Does full-arch always mean All-on-4?
No. Implant number, position, and restoration design depend on the examination and plan.
Are teeth provided the same day?
It depends on your situation. After an evaluation, the team can tell you whether same-day teeth suit you and what the timing would be.
What care will it need over time?
Home care, professional maintenance, and repair needs depend on the final design and individual risk factors.
