Full Arch Replacement in Irvine
Missing all or most of your teeth? At Sand Canyon Dental in Irvine, our full arch dental implant solutions—including All-on-4 and All-on-6—offer a secure, permanent way to restore your entire smile.
What Is Full Arch Replacement?
Full arch replacement involves restoring all teeth in the upper, lower, or both arches using 4 to 6 strategically placed dental implants. These implants support a full fixed denture or bridge, offering the function of natural teeth without the inconvenience of removable dentures.
All-on-4 and All-on-6 Explained
All-on-4 uses four implants per arch to support a full set of teeth.
All-on-6 uses six implants per arch for increased support, especially in cases of bone loss or higher bite force.
Both methods provide a stable, long-term solution with fewer implants compared to placing one per missing tooth.

Full Arch Implant FAQs
What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?
All-on-4 uses four implants per arch to support a full set of teeth. All-on-6 uses six implants per arch for extra support, which can help when there is bone loss or a stronger bite. Your dentist recommends an option based on your bone and bite.
Are full arch implants removable?
No. A full arch bridge is fixed to the implants and stays in place full time, so you do not take it out at night like a denture. You clean it at home and keep up with regular professional cleanings.
Can full arch implants replace my dentures?
Yes. Many denture wearers switch to full arch implants for teeth that do not slip and that let them chew a wider range of foods. An exam and X-rays show whether you have enough bone, or whether a bone graft is needed first.
How long does full arch treatment take?
Timelines vary. The implants need several months to bond with the jawbone before the final bridge is made. Your dentist will walk you through your specific timeline at your consultation.
How do I care for full arch implants?
Brush twice a day, clean under the bridge daily with implant floss or a water flosser, and see your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings. Good home care helps protect the gums and bone around the implants.
