Replacing an entire arch of teeth doesn't require 14 implants — or dentures. Four to six precisely placed implants can anchor a fixed, non-removable bridge that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. It's the single most transformative procedure in modern dentistry, and we do it with full digital planning from day one.
If your teeth are failing, already missing, or if you're wearing a denture that slides, rocks, or forces you to avoid the foods you love — a full arch implant bridge is almost certainly a better solution. Four to six implants act as anchors for a single, fixed prosthesis that only the dentist removes. You brush it, chew with it, and sleep with it, just like natural teeth.
Full arch cases are where digital planning matters most. The margin for error is small, and the stakes — a permanent, fixed bridge on your face for the next two decades — are high. At Radiant Dental Care, every full arch case is planned in 3D with Dr. Siddiqui personally, using XNav navigation to place every implant within fractions of a millimeter.
Full arch treatment is a 4–6 month process, but you're never without teeth. Here's how it unfolds.
CBCT scan, intraoral scan, and photos. Dr. Siddiqui builds a digital preview of your final smile — tooth shape, bite, lip support — and walks you through it before any treatment decisions.
Implants are virtually placed around your final prosthesis design, not the other way around. Your surgical guide and same-day temporary bridge are designed and printed in-house.
Any remaining teeth are removed, 4–6 implants are placed with XNav navigation, and a 3D-printed fixed temporary bridge is attached the same day. You leave with a full set of teeth.
You wear the provisional bridge for 4–6 months while implants fuse to bone. Follow-ups every 4–6 weeks to monitor healing and adjust comfort.
Once fully integrated, we fabricate your final zirconia or milled acrylic bridge — stronger, more natural, designed for decades of wear.
Most full arch failures come from placement errors that compound — a single off-angle implant can doom a bridge. Digital planning and guided surgery eliminate that class of problem.
We design the final smile first, then reverse-engineer implant positions around it. Not the other way around — which is how most practices still do it.
Real-time 3D navigation during surgery keeps every implant within the planned position. No wait for a printed guide, no guesswork.
Your same-day temporary is printed on our lab-grade resin printer the morning of surgery. No outside lab, no delays, no misfits.
A failing upper dentition — worn, thinning, and compromised at the gumline — restored with a fixed implant-supported bridge. Planned digitally around the final smile, placed with guided surgery, finished with a polychromatic zirconia prosthesis.
Full arch is a major procedure. At most DC-area practices, the cost is split between a periodontist (implant placement) and a restorative dentist (the bridge) — which typically totals $26,000–$38,000+ per arch. We do the entire case in-house for one flat fee.
