Full arch dental implants are a permanent solution for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth on the upper or lower jaw. Multiple implant posts are strategically placed into the jawbone to support a fixed, custom prosthetic arch that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.
Unlike removable dentures, full arch implants are permanently anchored in the bone. There’s no slipping, no adhesives, and no taking them out at night. Dr. Koman plans every case digitally using 3D imaging to determine the ideal number and position of implants for maximum stability and long-term success.
Multiple titanium implant posts are surgically placed at strategic positions along the jawbone. The number of posts depends on your bone structure and the arch being restored, but most full arch cases use four to six or more implants to provide a solid foundation.
Once the implants have integrated with the bone, a custom prosthetic arch is fabricated and permanently attached. The final restoration is designed to replicate the look and function of a full set of natural teeth. You can eat, speak, and smile without any of the limitations that come with removable dentures.
Traditional dentures sit on top of the gums and are held in place by suction or adhesive. They can slip during meals, cause sore spots, and require removal for cleaning. Over time, they also contribute to bone loss because they don’t stimulate the jaw.
Full arch dental implants are fixed directly to the bone, providing unmatched stability and comfort. They preserve jawbone density, maintain facial structure, and eliminate every inconvenience associated with removable dentures. For patients who want a permanent, worry-free solution, full arch implants are a different experience entirely.
Full arch dental implants are ideal for patients who have lost all or most of their teeth in one or both arches and want a permanent, fixed replacement. They’re also a strong option for current denture wearers who are tired of the limitations and discomfort of removable prosthetics.
Adequate jawbone density is important for implant placement, but bone grafting can often build enough support if loss has occurred. Dr. Koman will evaluate your bone, gums, and overall health with 3D imaging to determine whether full arch implants are the right solution for you.
These transformations were performed right here at Koman Dental Denver. Every case is unique, but the results speak for themselves.

Dr. Koman takes comprehensive 3D imaging to evaluate your jawbone, map out implant positions, and design a treatment plan tailored to your anatomy and goals.
The titanium implant posts are surgically placed into the jawbone under anesthesia. In many cases, a temporary prosthesis can be attached the same day so you leave with teeth.
Over the next several months, the implants fuse with your bone through osseointegration. This creates the permanent foundation your final restoration needs to hold up long-term.
Once fully healed, your permanent custom arch is fabricated and attached. Every detail is checked for fit, appearance, and bite. The result is a complete set of fixed, natural-looking teeth.
All-on-4 is a specific technique that uses four strategically angled implants to support a full arch, often allowing same-day temporary teeth. Full arch implants may use more posts depending on your bone structure and needs. Dr. Koman will recommend the best approach for your situation.
From placement to final restoration, the process typically takes 4 to 8 months. Most of that time is healing. In most cases, temporary teeth can be placed the same day as surgery so you're never without a smile.
Yes. Many of our full arch patients are transitioning from removable dentures to a permanent, fixed solution. Dr. Koman will assess your bone and gum health to determine if you're a candidate or if grafting is needed first.
In most cases, no. A temporary prosthesis can often be placed the same day as implant surgery. You'll wear this while your implants heal before your permanent arch is attached.
Brush and floss daily just like natural teeth. A water flosser can help clean around the implant posts. Regular checkups and professional cleanings keep everything in great shape long-term.
