What Is Full-Arch Dentistry?

Dentist Poquoson

Full-arch dentistry is an advanced restorative procedure that uses multiple dental implants to support a complete set of prosthetic teeth. Depending on your needs, this may involve an implant-supported denture or a fixed bridge that replaces all upper or lower teeth with a secure, stable restoration.

Unlike traditional dentures, which can slip or require adhesives, full-arch restorations are anchored securely by implants, creating unmatched stability. This means you can eat your favorite foods, speak clearly, and smile with confidence. In addition, implants help preserve jawbone health by providing stimulation, preventing the bone loss that typically follows tooth loss. Each restoration is custom-designed to match your facial features and provide a natural, comfortable look and feel. With proper care, full-arch dentistry can last for many years, offering a long-term solution for complete smile restoration.

Because of sleep apnea, I needed to explore options to help me sleep better. Dr. Harper introduced me to several different options. Together we decided that a mouth appliance was worth trying. I’ve had the appliance for over a year. I’ve been extremely happy with the results. I am now sleeping better and feeling more rested in the morning. The appliance fits right in my mouth, no hoses or masks. Thank you!.
