Full Arch Replacement

Restore Your Smile in a Single Day with Full Arch Replacement

At Third Coast Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we specialize in Full Arch Teeth Replacement, an advanced implant solution that replaces all missing or damaged teeth in an entire upper or lower arch—often in just one day. Using the latest digital planning technology, 3D imaging, and precision-guided implant placement, our surgeons create a new smile that looks natural, feels comfortable, and restores full function. This life-changing procedure allows patients to leave our office with a beautiful, confident smile the same day as their surgery.

Full Arch Replacement

What Is Full Arch Replacement?

Full Arch Replacement (also known as All-on-4® or All-on-X dental implants) is a comprehensive tooth replacement option designed for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth in a dental arch. Unlike removable dentures, this solution uses four to six strategically placed dental implants to support a permanent, fixed bridge of prosthetic teeth.

Our advanced digital workflow allows us to map out each implant with precision before surgery. During your procedure, we place the implants and attach a temporary full-arch restoration, so you can enjoy immediate function and aesthetics. After a short healing period, a custom, long-term prosthesis is attached, providing a strong, stable, and natural-looking result.

Benefits of Full Arch Replacement include:

  • A permanent, natural-looking smile
  • Restored ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence
  • Elimination of slipping or discomfort from removable dentures
  • Preservation of jawbone health and facial structure
  • Faster treatment and healing time compared to traditional implants

Who Is a Good Candidate for Full Arch Replacement?

Full Arch Replacement is ideal for patients who:

  • Are missing most or all of their teeth in one or both arches
  • Have significant tooth decay or damage that cannot be restored
  • Currently wear dentures but desire a fixed, more secure solution
  • Have adequate bone density to support dental implants (or are candidates for bone grafting)
  • Want a long-term, durable, and natural-feeling tooth replacement option

During your consultation, our surgical team will perform a full 3D scan and oral health evaluation to determine if Full Arch Replacement is right for you. We’ll review your goals, explain the procedure in detail, and design a personalized treatment plan to restore your smile.

Full Arch Replacement: Frequently Asked Questions

What is Full Arch Replacement?

Full Arch Replacement (often called All-on-4®/All-on-X) uses 4–6 dental implants to support a fixed bridge that replaces all teeth in an upper or lower jaw. It’s a stable, natural-looking alternative to removable dentures.

Can I really get teeth the same day?

In many cases, yes. After precise digital planning and implant placement, a temporary full-arch restoration is attached the same day so you leave with a functional, attractive smile while your implants heal.

Who is a good candidate?

Patients missing most or all teeth, with extensive decay or failing dentistry, or denture wearers seeking a fixed solution are often candidates. Adequate bone is needed, though bone grafting may be recommended when appropriate.

How many implants are used—4 or more?

Treatment is customized. Many patients do well with four implants per arch, while others benefit from 5–6 for added support depending on bone quality, anatomy, and bite forces.

What is recovery like?

Most patients experience a few days of soreness and mild swelling. You’ll follow a soft-food diet at first, then transition as healing progresses. Detailed home-care and follow-up visits help ensure a smooth recovery.

How long do results last and how do I care for them?

With good oral hygiene and routine professional maintenance, implants can last many years. Daily brushing, flossing/interdental cleaning around the bridge, and regular check-ups help protect your investment.
