Full Arch Dental Implants in Woodland Hills
If you're living with a mouthful of failing teeth, struggling with a denture that slips when you eat, or facing the loss of most of your upper or lower teeth, you may be wondering whether there's a more stable, permanent way forward. For many patients who come to us from Woodland Hills, the answer is full arch dental implants, a complete set of replacement teeth anchored to implants placed in the jaw. At 805 Dentistry, our Thousand Oaks office brings implant planning, surgery, lab work, and long-term care under one roof, so you can move through treatment with one coordinated team.
Full arch dental implants replace an entire upper or lower arch of teeth with a fixed bridge supported by a small number of implants. Instead of replacing each missing tooth with its own implant, we strategically position several implants in the jawbone to hold a full row of teeth. You may hear this approach called All-on-4, All-on-6, or All-on-X. The names refer to how many implants support the arch, and we offer all three.
The right number of implants depends on your bone, your bite, and your goals. Some patients do well with four implants. Others benefit from six or a custom configuration. When bone volume is limited, we can also perform bone grafting or sinus lift surgery to create a stronger foundation. Because we also offer implant-supported dentures and snap-in dentures, we can talk honestly with you about which full arch option fits your situation.
Woodland Hills patients often reach us after trying other solutions that didn't hold up. Some have worn complete dentures for years and are tired of adhesives and sore spots. Others have advanced gum disease, multiple failing crowns or root canals, or teeth that have broken down over time. Patients who want to address everything at once as part of a full mouth rehabilitation often ask about full arch implants too.
Our board-certified periodontist on staff places dental implants and treats the gum and bone conditions that can affect implant success. Since we also provide gum disease treatment, extractions, and periodontal surgery, we can manage the steps that come before implants without sending you elsewhere. Patients don't need a referral to see our periodontics team.
Am I a good candidate for full arch implants?
You may be a good candidate if you are missing most or all of your teeth in one arch, or if your remaining teeth can't be saved. The only way to know for sure is a thorough evaluation, which starts with a dental exam and detailed imaging.
We provide CBCT imaging and 2D and 3D dental imaging, and we have a board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist on staff. These scans let us see bone height, density, nerve positions, and sinus location so we can plan implant placement precisely. If your scans show that you need grafting or gum treatment first, we'll explain why and build that into your plan.
What happens during the full arch implant process?
The process moves through planning, preparation, implant placement, and final restoration, and we walk you through each stage before it begins. Here's what to expect:
- A consultation, exam, and 3D imaging to map your jaw and bite
- A personalized plan that may include Digital Smile Design to preview your new smile
- Any needed extractions, bone grafting, or sinus lift procedures
- Placement of the implants by our implant team
- Design and fabrication of your full arch bridge, supported by our on-site dental lab
- Fitting, bite adjustments, and follow-up visits
If dental anxiety has kept you from seeking care, you're not alone. Our board-certified dental anesthesiologist offers nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia, so we can match your comfort level to the procedure. We'll discuss these options during your consultation.
How do I care for full arch implants afterward?
You'll care for your new teeth with daily brushing and cleaning around the implants, plus regular professional visits. During your fitting appointments, we show you exactly how to clean under and around the bridge and recommend tools that make it easier.
Long-term success depends on healthy gums and bone around each implant. Our periodontics team provides implant maintenance and periodontal maintenance, which lets us monitor tissue health and catch concerns early. We also offer night mouth guards for patients who grind or clench. If something feels off between visits, our office offers emergency dental appointments.
How can I pay for full arch dental implants?
We accept all major PPO insurance plans, welcome self-pay patients, and offer financing to help spread the cost over time. Because every full arch plan is different, we provide your cost estimate after your evaluation, once we know exactly what your treatment involves.
Our team will review your insurance benefits with you, explain what may or may not be covered, and go over financing options so there are no surprises. For Woodland Hills families, having implant surgery, lab work, sedation, and follow-up care in one office also means fewer separate providers to coordinate.
