Who is it for?
Full-arch rehabilitation is designed for edentulous patients or patients with a severely damaged dentition (mobile or decayed teeth, multiple infections), as well as denture wearers who wish to return to fixed teeth.
The principle
A limited number of implants — usually four to six per jaw, following the All-on-4 and All-on-6 concepts — anchor a complete fixed, screw-retained prosthesis that the patient does not remove. The appropriate configuration is determined case by case through 3D imaging (CBCT).
Immediate loading, under conditions
In favourable situations, a fixed provisional prosthesis can be placed within hours or days of surgery. This depends on implant stability achieved during the operation — it is only considered when conditions allow and is never promised in advance.
Anesthesia and bone reconstruction
Full-arch surgery is frequently performed under general anesthesia when indicated, particularly when multiple extractions or bone grafting are combined in the same operation. Severe bone atrophy is managed as part of complex case care.
