Full Arch Replacement
Complete or Full Arch Replacement
A full arch replacement in South Huntington might be an ideal tooth replacement option if you have multiple missing teeth. Unlike traditional removable dentures, our dental implant surgeon, Dr. Joseph Ayoub, uses dental implants to secure a complete arch replacement and replace an entire set of upper or lower teeth. A full or complete arch replacement is an innovative dental solution that restores your smile with a more permanent and stable solution for those who have lost most or all their teeth due to age, trauma, or disease.
Benefits of Full Arch Replacement for Adults and Seniors

What To Expect During A Full Arch Replacement Procedure
Understanding the full arch replacement process can ease any apprehensions about this life-changing procedure.
Consultation and Planning
At Dentistry By Design PC, our dental implant surgeon, Dr. Joseph Ayoub, begins the procedure with an in-depth consultation to discuss your smile goals, assess your oral health, and personalize a treatment plan. We use advanced imaging technology(CBCT Scan) to map out your unique dental structure, ensuring precision in every step.
Implant Placement Surgery
The next step is the surgical placement of dental implants into the jawbone. Dr. Ayoub performs the surgery under local anesthesia, with sedation options available for added comfort for patients with dental anxiety. The implants function as sturdy anchors for your new teeth.
Healing and Osseointegration
After implant placement, Dr. Ayoub requires a healing period to allow the dental implants to fuse with the jawbone in a process known as osseointegration. This stage ensures the stability and longevity of your full or complete arch replacement.
Final Full Arch Restoration
Once healing is complete, our team will secure the custom-made full arch to the implant anchors. Dr. Joseph Ayoub creates the custom tooth replacement arch to match your natural teeth’ size, shape, and color, providing functionality and aesthetics.
Follow-Up Appointment
Our Dentistry By Design team will schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure the success of your complete arch replacement. Dr. Ayoub and his team will provide ongoing care and guidance to maintain your new smile.
Types of Full Arch Replacements
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures blend the benefits of traditional dentures and modern implants. Securing the denture with dental implants provides a more stable and comfortable option than conventional dentures. Patients can easily remove implant-supported dentures for cleaning, and will not slip during wear. This solution offers patients a more affordable permanent solution.
Fixed Bridges
Fixed bridges involve placing dental crowns on adjacent teeth or implants to support a prosthetic arch. This option provides a natural-looking and secure solution. While bridges are less invasive than full implants, they require support from healthy adjacent teeth. Fixed bridges are durable and can restore function and aesthetics effectively. Still, they may not be suitable for everyone, especially if surrounding teeth are not strong enough.
All-on-4 Dental Implants
The All-on-4 dental implant technique offers a revolutionary approach to complete arch replacement. Using just four strategically placed implants maximizes the use of available bone to avoid the need for bone grafting. The All-on-4 technique is known for its reduced treatment time, usually allowing patients to leave with a complete set of temporary teeth on the same day as the procedure. This approach provides a fixed, non-removable solution that feels natural and secure.
