A fixed, permanent-feeling arch of teeth, not removable dentures.
If you are missing most or all of your teeth — or you are tired of dentures that slip, cause sore spots, or do not let you eat what you want — a full-arch implant restoration is a different proposition entirely. Dr. Bonanno and our team specialise in full-arch restorations including All-on-4, All-on-6 and other “X” configurations, tailored to each patient.
-
- 4–6 implants
- a common configuration per arch, customised to your case
-
- Fixed, not removable
- it stays in your mouth and is cleaned like natural teeth
-
- Bone stimulation
- helps preserve bone that dentures often accelerate losing
-
- One or both arches
- upper, lower, or a full-mouth restoration

Your options
Ways to restore a full arch
-
All-on-4
A complete fixed arch carried on four implants, angled to make the most of the bone available.
-
All-on-X
The same principle with the number of implants matched to your case — commonly four to six per arch.
-
Implant-supported dentures
A denture supported by implants rather than relying on the gums alone.
-
Full-mouth restoration
Where natural teeth remain and are worth keeping, a combination of treatments rebuilds both arches rather than replacing them.

Common questions
Questions about full-mouth implants
It depends on your jawbone health, your anatomy and the result you want. Common configurations are four to six implants per arch, but we customise based on your case.
No. Once a fixed full arch is in place it stays in your mouth, and you treat it like natural teeth.
You start with softer foods and progress gradually. Most patients are eating regular foods comfortably once the final arch is placed.
A fixed arch offers strong chewing ability, very close to natural teeth, and it helps preserve bone that dentures often accelerate losing. Not every patient needs or qualifies for implants, so we compare the options with you at your consultation.
