Full arch dental implants, explained in plain English.
An arch is one complete row of teeth. Full arch restoration replaces that entire row with fixed new teeth held by dental implants. Here is what the term really covers.
What full arch actually means
Dentists use the word arch to describe one full row of teeth. The upper arch is your top row. The lower arch is your bottom row.
A full arch restoration replaces every tooth in one row with a complete set of new teeth. The new teeth attach to dental implants placed in your jaw, so they stay fixed in place.
You may also see phrases like full arch dental implants, full arch rehabilitation, or full arch solutions. They all point to the same idea. One row of teeth, rebuilt as one piece, held by implants.

Single arch or double arch
Single arch
Upper or lower. If one row of teeth is failing but the other row is healthy, your plan covers just the arch that needs help. Nothing more.
Double arch
Both rows. When the upper and lower teeth both need replacement, the two arches are planned together as one complete case.
So what changes in planning? The scope. A double arch case covers two rows of new teeth, so the imaging, the number of implants, and the written plan all grow to match.
Either way, you work with one doctor from consultation through follow-up. Your written treatment plan clearly outlines what is included before anything starts.

AfterWhat the new teeth are made of
The new row of teeth is called a prosthetic. It is crafted as one full piece and fixed to your implants.
At SPG, All-On-4 Teeth in a Day treatment plans use Zirconia prosthetics. Zirconia is a ceramic material used to craft fixed replacement teeth.
