The prevalence of total tooth loss is higher among older adults, but it’s not actually a consequence of aging. In most cases, tooth loss is a direct result of untreated gum disease or infection. With decades of plaque and bacteria built up on your enamel, it can easily lead to an infection that requires prompt treatment. But older patients may find it more difficult to thoroughly brush their teeth, notice signs of infection, and stay on top of their dental care. Eventually, one missing tooth may lead to multiple, until a patient experiences total tooth loss. But with a full arch of dental implants, we replace your missing teeth and restore your ability to function.
What Is a Full Arch of Dental Implants?
A full arch of dental implants refers to replacing all the teeth in your smile with dental implants. These titanium screws embed in your jawbone, anchoring a denture restoration and restoring your smile.
Unlike a traditional denture, full arch dental implants fuse to your bone over time, creating an incredibly strong connection. Then, once the implants are secure, we attach a denture, effectively restoring your ability to chew and function normally.
Additionally, full arch dental implants provide a natural-looking solution that far surpasses the appearance of traditional dentures.

Our Full Arch Dental Implants
At Bivona Family Dental, we offer a variety of full arch dental implant solutions. Every patient is unique, with their own needs, preferences, and lifestyles. Our goal is to ensure that each patient is happy with their results! Depending on your needs, we will offer you one of three implant denture restorations.
Snap-In Denture
In certain cases, one of the best implant prosthesis options is what we call a snap-in denture.
This denture replaces your missing teeth while also rebuilding the structure of your gums and bone with a denture base. In cases where patients have lost significant jawbone over time, the extra support helps prevent their lips from sinking inwards.
A snap-in denture is similar to a traditional denture but with some key advantages. It doesn’t cover the entire roof of your mouth and is stabilized by implants, which it snaps securely into. This makes it more stable than a regular denture, allowing you to chew effectively without the worry of it wobbling or shifting.
Snap-in dentures offer a major improvement over regular dentures, particularly in terms of chewing function and comfort.
Semi-Removable Roundhouse Bridge
One of the most effective and innovative solutions we’ve developed is a prosthesis we call the “Great-on-8.”
This procedure involves placing (typically) eight implants on both the upper and lower jaws to support a semi-detachable roundhouse bridge. A roundhouse bridge is similar to a denture in that it replaces all of your missing teeth, but it has a very natural look and feel.
Rather than using a bulky denture base, a roundhouse bridge follows the natural curve of your jaw, with a full arch of artificial teeth bonded together. Then, with your implants in place, we secure your bridge on top, effectively restoring your smile.
A “Great-on-8” solution feels like a permanent set of teeth, but with the added benefit that a dentist removes it for cleaning during your regular six-month check-ups. At home, you care for it just like you would with natural teeth, using a Waterpik and a toothbrush.
Non-Removable Roundhouse Bridge
For those who want to replicate the look, feel, and function of their natural smile, we offer a non-removable roundhouse bridge.
This bridge uses a full arch of dental implants for support, usually around 10 to 12, and is permanently attached, never to be removed.
With a non-removable restoration, patients can feel like they have their natural smile back. They’re able to function normally without hesitation, with a beautiful and long-lasting smile.
