Is Full Arch Restoration Right for You?

Full arch restoration, or full mouth dental implants, is a treatment designed for patients who have lost most or all the teeth on their upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. It’s also a strong option for those whose remaining teeth are beyond saving and who are looking for a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix.

Good candidates generally have enough bone in the jaw to support implants, though that isn’t always a requirement. If bone loss has occurred, preparatory procedures like bone grafting — or in some cases, zygomatic implants — can help improve your odds of being received for dental implant treatment. Your surgeon will evaluate your bone density, overall health, and goals during your initial consultation to determine the best path forward.

Why Choose Full Arch Reconstruction?

For many patients, the decision to move forward with full arch restoration boils down to one priority — reclaiming their quality of life. Here’s what sets this treatment apart from other tooth replacement options.

  • Eat Without Restriction: Traditional dentures can shift, limit what you eat, and require adhesives to stay in place. Full arch implants are fixed permanently in your jaw — so you can eat what you want, speak clearly, and go about your day without giving your teeth a second thought.
  • Support Your Facial Structure: When teeth are missing, the jawbone begins to deteriorate over time. Dental implants stimulate the bone the same way natural tooth roots do, helping to prevent bone loss and preserve the natural shape of your face.
  • A Long-Term Investment in Your Health: Conventional dentures need to be replaced and adjusted as the jaw changes shape, due to bone loss. Full arch implants, with proper care, not only preserve the jawbone, but with proper care, are designed to last a lifetime — making them more stable and potentially more cost-effective in the long run.

 

Our Approach

Every full arch case at our practice begins with a detailed evaluation and a treatment plan built specifically around you. We use advanced digital imaging and surgical planning tools to map out each procedure before moving forward.

For patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw, we also offer zygomatic implants — a specialized technique that anchors the restoration into the cheekbone rather than the jaw. This makes full arch restoration possible for patients who have been told elsewhere that they aren’t candidates.

We want you to know that your comfort throughout the process matters to us as much as your results. Sedation options are available, and your care team will walk you through every stage, so you always know what to expect.

Why Choose Center for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery for Full Arch Restoration?

Full arch restoration is one of the most technically demanding procedures in oral surgery. It requires a surgeon with deep experience, precise planning, and the judgment to handle complexity when it arises. Together, our team has placed thousands of implants and completed successful full arch restorations for patients across a wide range of starting points — including patients who had been turned away from other practices.

We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Every plan is built around your unique anatomy, your goals, and your timeline — with honest guidance at every step.

Common Questions About Full Arch Restoration

Full arch restoration replaces an entire row of missing teeth — upper, lower, or both — using dental implants as a secure foundation. Rather than individual crowns for each tooth, a full set of prosthetic teeth is secured to four or more implants placed in the jaw. The result is a fixed restoration that doesn’t come in and out, and doesn’t rely on adhesives or neighboring teeth for support.

The cost varies depending on several factors — how many implants are needed, whether preparatory procedures like bone grafting are required, and the type of restoration being placed. Because every case is different, we’ll give you a clear, detailed breakdown during your consultation. We also work with patients to explore financing options, and our team can help you understand what your insurance plan may or may not cover.

Your surgeon will make sure you’re comfortable before anything begins. Most patients receive sedation or general anesthesia during the procedure itself, so the experience is far more manageable than you may expect. Afterward, some soreness and swelling are to be expected — typically most noticeable in the first few days. If you notice anything during recovery that doesn’t feel right, like worsening pain or signs of infection, reach out to our office right away rather than waiting it out.

The timeline depends on your starting point. If preparatory work like extractions or bone grafting is needed, that adds time up front. Our practice is designed to efficiently deliver comprehensive care by performing extractions, bone grafting, and implant placement in a single appointment, and with a brand new set of teeth delivered on the same day. Patients never have to wear dentures during the healing process.

Your surgeon will map out a realistic timeline specific to your case during the initial consultation.

Traditional dentures rest on the gums and can slip, require adhesive, and need to be removed at night. They also don’t stimulate the jawbone, which means bone loss continues over time. Full arch implants are surgically anchored into the jaw, staying fixed in place permanently. They look more natural, function more like real teeth, and actively help preserve the bone structure underneath — something dentures can’t do.

If you know me, you know the dentist is NOT my happy place. I walked in for FOUR extractions basically shaking. Immediately, Elaine, Dr. Daniel Krost's assistant, was so kind. She didn't rush me, she answered every single nervous question I had, even the ones I asked twice. She made me feel like I wasn't being dramatic for being scared. Then Dr. Daniel Krost comes in. Instead of just diving in, he takes a second to make me laugh. Like actual laugh, right before oral surgery. He checked on me through every single step, made sure I was okay the whole time, and somehow made the whole thing so fast. Turns out my teeth had these insanely long curved roots, like little hooks. I'm still shocked those were living in my mouth and honestly it makes sense why I was in so much pain. The best part? That pain I've been carrying around was gone in less than 20 minutes after. I cannot say enough good things. Best doctor, best staff, and honestly the best place to get this done if you have to get it done. If I ever need more teeth out, which I really, really hope I never do, I'm going right back here. I'm not looking anywhere else. If you've been putting off your appointment, take this as your sign. What are you waiting for? Book it now. Thank you again both so much.

I called the Jackson office and the lady who helped me found a closer office which was very sweet of her. Hazlet location took my mother in on an emergency visit right away and completed an extraction by Dr. Nathan Ostler with help from his assistant (not sure of her name). He was super calm, listened to my VERY nervous mom, and the extraction was completed within less than 10 minutes!! I’m so happy he was able to help her as she was in so much pain. 10/10 experience, the front desk & assistants were wonderful as well!! 🙏❤️
