Full-Arch Fixed Dental Prosthesis in Bastrop, TX
Losing most or all of your teeth changes more than just your smile. It affects how you eat, how you speak, and how you carry yourself every day. If you have been struggling with tooth loss, failing teeth, or ill-fitting dentures, a full-arch fixed dental prosthesis may be the permanent solution you have been looking for. This treatment replaces an entire arch of teeth with a fixed, non-removable restoration anchored to dental implants, giving you teeth that stay in place and work like your natural ones.
At Spring St. Dental, our team has built a comprehensive full-arch restoration workflow right here in Bastrop, partnering with an experienced oral surgeon so every step of your care happens under one roof. Because we produce restorations in-house using advanced 3D printing technology, we are able to offer this treatment at nearly half the cost of major national providers.

What Is a Full-Arch Fixed Dental Prosthesis?
A full-arch fixed dental prosthesis is a permanent restoration that replaces all teeth in your upper or lower jaw. Unlike traditional dentures, which can slip or shift during daily use, a full-arch prosthesis is secured directly to dental implants placed in your jawbone. The result is a stable, natural-looking set of teeth that you never remove for cleaning or sleeping.
The procedure uses four to six strategically placed implants to support a complete arch of prosthetic teeth. This approach, sometimes called All-on-4 or All-on-X, distributes biting forces efficiently across the jaw and eliminates the instability that plagues removable alternatives. According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, more than 36 million Americans are missing all their teeth in one or both jaws. For those patients, a fixed prosthesis offers a meaningful improvement in quality of life compared to removable options.
Full-Arch Implants vs. Traditional Dentures
| Feature | Full-Arch Implants | Traditional Dentures |
|---|---|---|
| Stability | Permanently fixed, never slips | Can shift, click, or fall out |
| Bone Preservation | Implants stimulate bone, preventing loss | Bone continues to shrink over time |
| Eating | Eat almost anything, including hard foods | Many foods restricted or uncomfortable |
| Maintenance | Brush and floss like natural teeth | Remove nightly, adhesives, soaking required |
| Facial Structure | Maintains bone and natural profile | Face can appear sunken as bone recedes |
| Long-Term Value | Can last many years with proper care | Require replacement every 5-8 years |
Benefits of a Full-Arch Fixed Prosthesis

Our team is here to answer your questions and walk you through your options.
Am I a Candidate for Full-Arch Restoration?
Most adults who have lost most or all of their teeth in one or both arches can benefit from this treatment. Good candidates typically share these characteristics:
During your consultation, our team takes a full set of 3D cone beam CT scans to evaluate your bone quality and map out treatment precisely before any surgical step begins. If bone loss has occurred, bone grafting may be recommended first.
Treatment Options and Transparent Pricing
We believe patients deserve to know what things cost before committing to treatment. Both options below deliver the same permanent, fixed result. The difference is in material and production method, not in the quality of your outcome.
For context, comparable treatment at major national implant centers can exceed $30,000 per arch. Our in-house workflow and oral surgeon partnership make this possible at a fraction of that cost.
Flexible Payment Options
We want full-arch restoration to be accessible to Bastrop-area patients who need it. We accept out-of-network dental insurance benefits and handle the paperwork on your behalf.
- Out-of-network benefits accepted, we file claims for you
- Plan for Health membership with no waiting periods and no annual maximums

Your Full-Arch Restoration Process
Understanding the timeline helps patients make informed decisions. Here is what the process looks like at Spring St. Dental from start to finish.
Our Full-Arch Technology and Approach
At Spring St. Dental, we use some of the most advanced tools available in restorative dentistry to plan and execute full-arch cases with precision and efficiency.
3D Cone Beam CT Imaging
Before treatment begins, our in-office cone beam CT scanner captures three-dimensional images of your jaw, bone structure, and surrounding anatomy. This lets our team identify optimal implant positions, assess available bone volume, and anticipate challenges before surgery, significantly reducing uncertainty and improving placement accuracy.
Guided Implant Placement
Using data from your 3D imaging, we create a surgical guide that directs implant placement to the exact depth, angle, and position mapped during planning. Guided dental implants reduce chair time and support more predictable outcomes than freehand placement techniques.
Photogrammetry for Precise Fit
We use photogrammetry technology to create an accurate 3D record of your implant positions after placement. This digital capture ensures that your final prosthesis fits with the precision needed for long-term comfort and proper bite function.
In-House 3D Printing and Fabrication
Rather than sending your case to an outside lab, we produce restorations on-site using 3D printing technology and FDA-cleared materials. This keeps costs lower, gives us direct control over quality, and allows for faster turnaround at each stage of treatment.
Caring for Your Full-Arch Prosthesis
Maintaining a full-arch prosthesis is more straightforward than caring for traditional dentures, but it does require consistent habits. Brush your prosthetic teeth twice daily as you would natural teeth. Use a water flosser or interdental brushes to clean beneath the bridge and around the implant connection points where food can accumulate. Regular checkups at our Bastrop office every six months allow us to professionally clean areas that are difficult to reach at home and confirm that your implants and surrounding tissue remain healthy. With proper care, a full-arch prosthesis can last many years.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a full-arch fixed dental prosthesis?
A full-arch fixed dental prosthesis is a permanent, non-removable restoration that replaces all teeth in your upper or lower jaw. It is anchored directly to four to six dental implants placed in your jawbone, so it never slips or needs to be removed for cleaning or sleeping, unlike traditional dentures.
Am I a candidate for full-arch restoration?
Most adults who have lost most or all of their teeth in one or both arches are good candidates. We look for adequate jawbone density, or willingness to consider bone grafting, general health that supports oral surgery, and non-smoking status or willingness to quit, since smoking can affect how well implants fuse with the bone.
How much does full-arch restoration cost at Spring St. Dental?
Pricing starts at $17,500 per arch for our in-house 3D-printed prosthesis, produced on-site using FDA-cleared materials. A traditional zirconia full-arch prosthesis is $23,500 per arch. Both options are fixed, non-removable, and permanent, and both come in well below what many national implant centers charge for comparable treatment.
How long does the full-arch restoration process take?
The process begins with a consultation and 3D CT imaging, followed by any necessary extractions or bone grafting, then implant surgery where four to six implants are placed and temporary teeth are attached the same day. After several months of healing and osseointegration, your final custom prosthesis is fitted and attached.
How is a full-arch fixed prosthesis different from traditional dentures?
Unlike traditional dentures, which can shift, click, or require removal for cleaning, a full-arch fixed prosthesis is permanently secured to dental implants. It also helps preserve your jawbone rather than allowing it to shrink over time, and it lets you eat a wider range of foods without the restrictions many denture wearers face.
