Full-Arch Dental Implants in Clearfield, UT
Losing a full arch of teeth changes everything. It affects your confidence, your diet, and your daily comfort. At Hillside Dental in Clearfield, UT, we offer full-arch dental implants—a permanent solution that restores your entire upper or lower set of teeth. Call us today at (801) 776-8441 to book your free implant consultation.
What Are Full-Arch Dental Implants?
Full-arch dental implants replace an entire row of missing teeth. Instead of restoring one tooth at a time, this approach replaces every tooth on the upper arch, lower arch, or both. A small number of implants are placed into the jawbone. They act as a permanent foundation for a full set of custom-crafted replacement teeth.
The result looks natural, feels stable, and functions just like real teeth. There are no dentures to remove. No adhesives to apply. Just a complete, confident smile you can count on every day.
How Full-Arch Implants Work
The process is carefully planned from start to finish. Here is a simple breakdown of what to expect:
1
Free Consultation
Our team reviews your oral health, takes detailed scans, and assesses your jawbone. We discuss your goals and answer every question you have.
2
Custom Treatment Plan
We design a plan tailored to your anatomy and needs. This includes the number of implants, arch design, and any prep work required beforehand.
3
Implant Placement
The implants are surgically placed into your jawbone. Many patients receive a temporary arch the same day so they leave with functional teeth.
4
Osseointegration
Over several months, the implants bond with your jawbone. This creates a strong, lasting foundation for your permanent teeth.
5
Final Arch Placement
Once healed, your custom permanent arch is secured to the implants. Your full-arch restoration is complete.

Are You a Candidate for Full-Arch Dental Implants?
Most adults who are missing a full arch of teeth are candidates for this procedure. You may be a great fit if you:
- Are missing all or most teeth on one or both arches
- Currently wear full dentures and want a permanent alternative
- Have adequate jawbone density to support implants
- Are in generally good health
- Want a solution that lasts decades, not just years
If you have experienced bone loss, you may still qualify. Some patients benefit from a bone graft before implant placement. Our team will walk you through your options during your free consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions About Full-Arch Dental Implants
How many implants are needed for a full arch?
Most full-arch restorations use four to six implants per arch. Your provider will determine the right number based on your bone density and jaw structure.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients are surprised by how manageable the procedure is. We use modern anesthesia and comfort options to keep you at ease throughout.
How long does the full process take?
The full process typically takes several months from consultation to final restoration. Much of that time is the natural healing period after implant placement.
Can I get both arches done at the same time?
Yes. Many patients restore both the upper and lower arches during the same treatment plan. We will discuss the best approach for your situation.
What happens if I have bone loss?
Bone loss does not automatically disqualify you. A bone graft may be recommended to rebuild the area before implants are placed. Our team will assess your needs and explain every step.
How do I care for full-arch implants?
Care is simple. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend your routine dental checkups. Your provider will give you specific care instructions after placement.
How long do full-arch implants last?
With proper care, full-arch dental implants can last 20 years or more. Many patients enjoy their restored smile for life.
