A full-arch fixed prosthesis is a life-changing solution for individuals who have lost most or all of their teeth. This innovative treatment provides a permanent, natural-looking replacement, restoring function, aesthetics, and confidence. While major implant centers heavily advertise full-mouth solutions, their high prices often make treatment unattainable for many.
At Spring St. Dental, we have developed a streamlined workflow in collaboration with our in-house oral surgeon to offer the same high-quality results at nearly half the cost of big-name competitors like ClearChoice. By integrating advanced technology and producing restorations in-house, we provide a cost-effective alternative without compromising quality or long-term patient care.
What Is a Full-Arch Fixed Prosthesis?
A full-arch fixed prosthesis is a permanent, implant-supported solution designed to replace an entire row of missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and may slip or require adhesives, this restoration is securely anchored to dental implants, ensuring greater stability, comfort, and durability.
A full-arch fixed prosthesis offers numerous advantages over removable dentures, making it a preferred choice for long-term tooth replacement.
- Fixed and secure: The prosthesis is anchored by dental implants, ensuring stability without slipping or discomfort.
- Natural appearance: A full-arch fixed prosthesis is designed to replicate the look and function of real teeth, providing a seamless, natural-looking smile that enhances facial structure.
- Improved chewing ability: Unlike dentures, which can limit your diet, a full-arch fixed prosthesis restores full chewing function, allowing you to enjoy a wider variety of foods.
- Long-term durability: With proper care and maintenance, this prosthesis is designed to last for many years, making it a wise long-term investment.
With these benefits, it’s easy to see why so many patients choose a full-arch fixed prosthesis over traditional dentures. The stability, aesthetics, and functionality make it a reliable solution for full-mouth restoration.
How Our Process Stands Out
Many patients assume full-arch dental implants are financially out of reach, but that’s no longer the case. By refining our treatment workflow, leveraging advanced technology, and producing restorations in-house, we can offer a cost-effective alternative to corporate implant centers.
Many well-known implant centers charge $30,000 per arch, pricing out many individuals in need of full-mouth restoration. Our practice offers the same level of expertise and high-quality restorations at a significantly lower price.
- Standard full-arch fixed prosthesis: $23,500 per arch
- In-house printed final restoration: $17,500 per arch
By producing the final prosthesis in-house, we cut costs without compromising quality, giving patients an affordable option for permanent tooth replacement.
A Cost-Effective Alternative Between Removable and Zirconia
In the past, patients who couldn’t afford a zirconia full-arch prosthesis had to settle for a removable denture, which lacked the stability and permanence of a fixed solution. Now, we offer a mid-range fixed option, providing the strength and security of a fixed prosthesis at a price closer to a removable implant retained denture.
This new option allows more patients to enjoy the benefits of a secure, long-lasting full-arch restoration without breaking the bank.
The Full-Arch Fixed Prosthesis Process
From the initial consultation to the final restoration, each step of the full-arch fixed prosthesis process is designed to ensure comfort, precision, and long-term success.
Consultation and Treatment Planning
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which we assess your oral health, discuss treatment goals, and determine the best prosthesis option for your needs.
Digital scans and imaging are taken to create a customized treatment plan. Our team will walk you through available restoration options and pricing, ensuring you understand your choices.
Implant Placement Surgery
Our in-house oral surgeon performs the implant placement procedure in a state-of-the-art surgical suite. Typically, four to six implants per arch are placed to provide maximum stability. The procedure is performed under sedation or anesthesia to ensure comfort. After the surgery, you’ll receive detailed post-op instructions to promote smooth healing and integration of the implants.
Temporary Prosthesis Placement
While your implants heal, a custom temporary prosthesis is placed to restore aesthetics and function, allowing you to enjoy a complete smile immediately after surgery. The temporary prosthesis is carefully designed to maintain comfort and functionality during the healing process.
Healing and Osseointegration
The implants will fuse with your jawbone over the next three to six months, creating a strong and durable foundation for your final prosthesis. Regular follow-up visits will monitor healing and ensure everything is progressing smoothly. Patients must maintain good oral hygiene and follow dietary restrictions during this period.
Final Prosthesis Fabrication and Placement
After the healing process, we craft and place your permanent prosthesis.
Patients can choose between the traditional zirconia full-arch restoration ($23,500 per arch) or the in-house printed final restoration ($17,500 per arch). Both options provide exceptional durability and aesthetics, allowing you to enjoy a fully functional and natural-looking smile.
Ongoing Maintenance and Care
Unlike major implant centers that complete treatment and move on, we offer long-term care and maintenance to ensure the health and longevity of your new teeth. Regular check-ups and professional cleanings will help prolong the lifespan of your prosthesis. Any necessary adjustments or repairs can be made quickly and conveniently in our office.
