Full‑Arch Dental Implant Solutions To Replace All Missing Teeth
When all teeth are missing, many patients rely on a full denture — essentially a mouthful of plastic that often lacks stability, retention, and comfort. Loose dentures can make eating, speaking, and smiling difficult, leading to reduced confidence and ongoing frustration.
At Ballarat Dental Care, we offer full‑arch dental implant solutions to replace all missing teeth with either a fixed or removable option. For some patients, an existing full denture can be modified to attach to two to four implants, improving stability dramatically. For those wanting a fully fixed solution, a customised number of implants are placed to support a permanent set of teeth that look and function like natural ones.
Because every patient’s mouth, bone levels, and goals are different, the number of implants and appointments will vary. Our Ballarat dentists tailor every full‑arch implant plan to your individual needs.
Planning Your Full‑Arch Dental Implants (All-On-4 Implants)
Full‑mouth implant treatment requires careful planning. Several factors — including bone quality, gum health, and bite — must be assessed before treatment begins.
A CT scan is essential for accurate planning. Using this scan, we create a surgical stent (a guide) that fits over your gums, bone, or existing teeth. This stent contains pre‑drilled holes that guide the exact angle and position of each implant, improving accuracy and long‑term success.
Using a stent may increase the cost of treatment, but it significantly enhances precision. Throughout the entire process, you are involved in every decision so you feel informed, confident, and supported.
