Full arch implant treatment — marketed under names like All-on-4, All-on-6, Teeth in a Day, and TeethXpress — replaces an entire arch (upper, lower, or both) of missing or failing teeth with a fixed, non-removable prosthesis supported by just 4–6 strategically placed dental implants.
The concept is elegantly efficient: rather than placing an individual implant for every missing tooth, the full arch prosthesis is engineered to distribute bite forces across just 4 or 6 implants. In many cases, a temporary full arch prosthesis can be attached the same day as surgery — the origin of the Teeth in a Day description.
Recognizing the signs early makes treatment simpler. Here’s what we look for — and the surest way to know is a quick exam with a Boca dentist.
Comprehensive exam and full-arch digital X-rays or a 3D CBCT scan to assess bone volume and density. We discuss implant number, grafting needs, and the full treatment plan with timeline and cost.
Digital planning maps the exact implant positions, and the prosthesis is pre-designed before surgery for immediate loading.
Any failing teeth are extracted. In most full arch cases, extractions and implant placement occur in the same surgery session.
4 or 6 implants are placed under local anesthesia (IV sedation available). A temporary fixed prosthesis is attached the same day in most cases.
Implants integrate with the jawbone over 3–6 months. You use the temporary prosthesis during this period — still fixed, still looks great.
After full osseointegration is confirmed, the definitive permanent prosthesis (typically zirconia or hybrid) is fabricated and attached.
Most patients receive a temporary fixed prosthesis the same day as implant surgery, with the final permanent prosthesis placed after 3–6 months of healing (osseointegration).
They never come out and function and feel like natural teeth.
