Reclaim Your Confidence with Full Arch Dental Implants

Full Arch Dental Implants in Lacey, WA | Lacey Smiles

Why Choose Full Arch Implants?

If you have lost most or all teeth in one or both jaws, full arch dental implants offer a long-term, stable, and natural-looking solution. Unlike traditional dentures, full arch implants anchor directly into the jawbone, preventing slippage, improving chewing ability, and preserving facial structure.

At Lacey Smiles, we combine state-of-the-art implant technology with a patient-first approach. Dr. John Hodges brings advanced surgical skill and restorative expertise to every full-arch case. Explore more about implant-supported denture options.

What to Expect at Lacey Smiles

Comprehensive Consultation & 3D Imaging

We begin by evaluating your oral health, bone volume, and smile goals. A CBCT (cone beam) scan helps us visualize bone anatomy and plan implant placement precisely.

Treatment Planning & Design

Working collaboratively, Dr. Hodges and our restorative team design your new arch prosthesis to deliver optimal aesthetics, function, and comfort.

Surgical Placement of Implants

Typically, 4–6 implants are placed in strategic positions to support a full-arch prosthesis (“All-on‑4,” All-on-X, or other approaches). In many cases, we can load a temporary arch on the same day.

Healing & Osseointegration

Over several months, the implants fuse with your jawbone. During this time, you’ll follow a prescribed diet, hygiene protocol, and attend follow-up visits.

Delivery of Final Prosthesis

Once fully integrated, we place your permanent implant-supported arch. The result is a beautiful, functional smile you can rely on long term.

Benefits of Full Arch Implants

  • Stable, fixed solution — no slipping or adhesive
  • Restored chewing efficiency and nutrition
  • Prevents bone loss and facial collapse
  • Natural esthetics tailored to your face
  • Long-term (many decades) lifespan with proper care
  • Easier hygiene than conventional dentures

Is Full Arch Right for You?

You may be a good candidate if:

  • You are missing many or all teeth
  • You want to avoid removable dentures
  • You have sufficient bone volume (or are open to grafting)
  • You are in overall good systemic health
  • You are committed to oral hygiene and regular maintenance

At Lacey Smiles, we’ll discuss alternatives and determine whether an implant-supported denture or hybrid prosthesis is more appropriate. Read answers to common questions about full arch implants here.
