Dion HealthFull-Arch Implants
The Procedure

Full-arch implants, explained.

A fixed, non-removable set of teeth — anchored on a few precisely placed implants and, for qualifying candidates, delivered in a single day.3Here's exactly how it works, who it's for, and what to expect from the first scan to your final smile.

What it is

A full set of teeth — that stays put.

Full-arch treatment — often called All-on-4 or All-on-X — replaces an entire upper or lower set of teeth with one fixed bridge, anchored on a small number of dental implants that act as new roots.

You brush it like natural teeth. It doesn't come out at night, it doesn't cover the roof of your mouth, and it doesn't need adhesive.

Fixed

Permanently secured to your implants. It stays in your mouth — you never take it out.

A few implants

A whole arch is supported on as few as four to six implants — not one implant per tooth.

Brushable

Cared for like natural teeth, with the routine maintenance visits that protect your warranty.

Not dentures

No slipping, no plate, no soaking cup. A fixed bridge that feels and functions like your own teeth.

Candidacy

Is full-arch right for you?

Most people considering full-arch see themselves in at least one of these. If that's you, it's worth a conversation.

Failing or broken teeth

Decay, infection, or fractured teeth that can't be reliably saved one at a time.

Several or all teeth missing

Gaps that make eating and speaking harder — and quietly accelerate bone loss.

Loose or uncomfortable dentures

Tired of adhesive, slipping, and a plate that covers the roof of your mouth.

Bone loss from years without teeth

Modern angled techniques often let us anchor implants even where bone has shrunk.

You want a permanent fix

Not another temporary patch — a fixed solution designed to last and age well with you.

Not sure? That's normal.

Candidacy is confirmed at your complimentary consult with a low-dose 3D scan that maps your bone, nerves, and bite — so you know for certain, not on a guess.

The same-day process

From scan to a fixed smile — in a single day.3

Four steps, one surgeon. You walk in with the teeth you have and walk out the same day with a fixed set — never dentures, never a gap.

01

3D consultation & plan

A complimentary consult and a low-dose 3D scan map your bone, nerves, and bite. You leave knowing your candidacy, your plan, and your exact price — no surprises.

02

Your same-day surgery

Failing or missing teeth are addressed and your implants are placed in a single, comfortable visit under sedation. You walk out the same day with a fixed set of teeth — not dentures.

03

Heal & settle in

Your implants integrate with the bone over a few months while you live, eat, and smile on your fixed provisional. We see you for short, easy check-ins.

04

Your final smile — for life

We deliver your final, custom prosthesis: stronger, refined to your face, and built to age well with you. Backed by our lifetime warranty.

Technology & comfort

Planned in 3D. Placed with precision. Done in comfort.

Full-arch is as much about engineering as it is about surgery. We plan the entire case on a three-dimensional model of your jaw before we ever begin — so the day itself is calm, fast, and exact.

3D / CBCT planning

A low-dose cone-beam scan renders your bone, nerves, and sinuses in three dimensions. We position every implant virtually — for the strongest anchorage and the safest path — before surgery day.

Guided precision

The plan carries into the operatory, so placement follows the design — not guesswork. Predictable angles, predictable bite, and a provisional that fits the same day.

IV sedation comfort

Your surgery is done under sedation, so you rest comfortably throughout and the visit passes quickly. Most patients describe recovery as far easier than they imagined.

How it compares

Full-arch vs. the alternatives.

The same outcome — a full set of teeth — reached three very different ways. Here's how they line up.

Recovery & timeline

What healing actually looks like.

You leave surgery with fixed teeth and live on them while your implants settle in. Here's the honest arc — days to your final prosthesis. Every recovery is individual; your surgeon sets your exact timeline.

01

The first few days

Most of the swelling and tenderness lives here, and it's usually milder than patients expect. You're on a soft diet and routine medication, resting on your fixed provisional — never without teeth.

02

The first weeks

Day-to-day comfort returns quickly. You ease back into normal life and most foods, with short, easy check-ins so we can confirm everything is healing on track.

03

Three to six months

Your implants integrate with the bone — the quiet, foundational stage that makes the result permanent. You keep living and smiling on your provisional teeth throughout.

04

Your final smile

Once healing is complete, we deliver your final, custom prosthesis — stronger, refined to your face, and backed by our lifetime warranty.2

What are full-arch dental implants?

A full-arch restoration replaces a complete set of upper or lower teeth with a fixed, non-removable bridge anchored on a small number of dental implants (often called All-on-4 / All-on-X). Unlike dentures, it doesn't come out — you brush it like natural teeth.

Can I really get teeth in one day?

For qualifying candidates, yes — your implants are placed and a fixed provisional set of teeth is attached the same day, so you never leave without teeth. Your final, custom prosthesis is delivered after your implants heal.3

Does it hurt?

The procedure is done under sedation, so you're comfortable throughout. Most patients describe recovery as far easier than they expected and manage with routine medication.

Am I a candidate if I've lost bone or worn dentures for years?

Often, yes. Modern techniques let us anchor implants even where bone has shrunk. The only way to know for sure is a 3D scan at your complimentary consultation.

What does it cost?

Every case is different, so we quote an all-inclusive price after your scan — in writing, before any surgery. Most patients finance it over time. No hidden fees.

Who actually performs the surgery?

Dr. Samadian personally plans, places, and finishes your case. You'll see the same surgeon from your consult through your final smile.
