The impact of losing most or all of your teeth can be overwhelming! Teeth are an essential part of your life and are needed for biting and chewing, speaking clearly, smiling confidently, and promoting a positive image to others. At Titus Dentistry, we offer complete tooth replacement to our Middletown, Indiana patients through full arch dental implant treatment.
Below, Dr. Jonathan Titus answers your questions about full arch dental implants to help you decide if they’re right for you:
What are full-arch dental implants?
A full arch implant procedure replaces an entire arch of upper or lower missing teeth using All-On-X implants.
How many implants are needed for full arch implant treatment?
The number of implants used for this procedure depends on the complexity of your treatment. Typically, however, 4 – 6 implants are used to secure your replacement teeth. The implants are placed in strategic locations in your jaw to provide optimal support for your new teeth. Once in place, they fuse with your bone tissue to become the foundation for your replacement teeth.

How many teeth are on a full arch implant?
If all the teeth in the arch are replaced with implant restorations, your full arch implant will contain 12 – 14 teeth. Unlike removable dentures, these teeth are securely attached to the implants and are not designed to be removed except for professional cleaning.
How long do full arch implants last?
Implants have the potential to last a lifetime, with good oral care. Implant restorations can last up to 20 years. When your full arch restorations are ready for an upgrade, Dr. Titus can attach your new teeth to the same implants to save you the time and trouble of another surgery.
Who’s a good candidate for full arch implants?
Full arch dental implants are a viable option for people who:
- Have lost most or all their teeth in their upper or lower jaw
- Are tired of living with ill-fitting dentures
- Have good oral, general, and jawbone health
- Are committed to taking good care of their new teeth
Why should I get full arch implants?
- Full arch implants restore your smile’s original structure and beauty with strong, stable replacement teeth that won’t slip or shift when you eat, laugh or speak.
- Implants give you full chewing power to eat a wider variety of food. You can chew comfortably and confidently and thoroughly enjoy your meals.
- Implant restorations are custom-crafted to conform to the shape of your mouth and jaw for a secure, comfortable fit.
- Implants stimulate jawbone growth, just like real tooth roots, to stabilize your jaw and keep your face from sagging.
- By lasting indefinitely, full arch dental implants can restore your smile for life.
