Full-Arch Implants

Full-arch / All-on-5 dental implants.

For patients with extensive tooth loss or failing teeth, a full arch may be supported by strategically positioned dental implants.

Full-arch implant treatment is designed for patients who are missing most or all teeth, have a failing dentition, or are seeking an alternative to a loose removable denture.

What “All-on-5” means

The concept uses a limited number of implants strategically positioned across the jaw to support a full-arch restoration. The appropriate number and position of implants depend on anatomy, bone, bite and restorative design.

Can teeth be placed the same day?

In selected cases, a temporary fixed restoration may be connected soon after implant placement. This depends on surgical stability and the individual treatment plan. The final restoration is generally made after healing and refinement.

What happens to remaining teeth?

The surgeon evaluates whether remaining teeth are predictable to keep. Teeth that cannot be maintained may be removed as part of the surgical sequence, with bone management and implant placement planned together.

Common questions

What patients ask about full-arch implants.

These answers are general. Your surgeon will tailor recommendations to your examination and imaging.

They are related full-arch concepts. The exact number of implants is selected according to anatomy and the treatment plan.

Upper, lower or both arches may be considered depending on the patient’s needs and anatomy.

Not every full-arch case requires grafting. Imaging is used to determine whether augmentation is needed or whether a different implant distribution is preferable.
