The Benefits of Full-Arch Implant Rehabilitation
Long-Lasting Results
Full-arch implant restorations offer a long-lasting solution for patients with extensive tooth loss. With proper oral hygiene and routine dental care, dental implants can remain healthy and functional for numerous years or more—and in many cases, they last a lifetime.
Better Oral Health
Full-arch implant restorations do more than replace missing teeth—they also help preserve your jawbone and facial structure. When teeth are lost, the jawbone can begin to shrink over time, leading to a sunken or aged appearance. Unlike dentures, dental implants are anchored in the bone, providing natural stimulation that helps prevent bone loss. This not only supports long-term oral health but also helps maintain your appearance and confidence.
Improved Fit, Comfort, And Functionality
Dentures can begin to shift or slip over time as the shape of your jaw changes, which can make it harder to eat, speak, or smile with full confidence. Full-arch implant restorations offer a more stable, long-term solution. Because they’re securely anchored to dental implants, they stay firmly in place and won’t move or loosen with time. This means a more natural appearance, better function, and greater comfort in your everyday life.
FP1 & fixed hybrid solutions
Dr. Han performs every variety of full arch cases ranging from FP1 (Fixed Prosthesis 1) to fixed hybrid types often called an All-on-4. Our team will walk you through which option is best for you.

The Full-Arch Implant Rehabilitation Process
Tooth Extractions & Implant Placement
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and 3D imaging. We’ll evaluate your bone structure, review any remaining teeth, and create a personalized surgical plan. If full-arch rehabilitation is right for you, we’ll coordinate with your dentist to ensure seamless care.
Tooth Removal & Implant Placement
In a single surgical visit, we’ll remove any remaining teeth in the arch and place 4 to 6 dental implants with precision. In many cases, a temporary prosthesis is secured the same day, giving you immediate function and a confident smile during healing.
Healing & Final Smile Restoration
As your implants integrate with your jawbone over the next few months, we will monitor your healing closely. Once healing is complete, your general dentist will place your final restoration.
