What’s the Success Rate of Full Arch Implants?

If you’re missing most or all of your teeth in an arch, you may be considering a full arch implant. It’s a good choice. This treatment enables you to chew with confidence and eliminates the worry of losing your dentures. The success rate of full arch implants is high.

At Central Avenue Dental, with offices in Valley Stream, New York, and Manhattan’s Midtown East neighborhood in New York City, our team specializes in restorative solutions.

Among the most popular are full arch dental implants, or All-on-4®. Here’s what we want you to know about this life-changing treatment.

Understanding full arch implants

Full arch dental implants provide a permanent, screw-retained replacement for an entire upper or lower set of teeth.

Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, a full arch prosthesis is anchored by four dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. That creates a stable foundation for a dental restoration that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.

A bonus: Because the implants fuse with the bone, they prevent future bone loss and preserve your facial structure.

The success rate of full arch implants

Full arch dental implants have an excellent track record. Studies and clinical data consistently show a high success rate, ranging from 90% to 95% over 10-15 years.

The long-term success of the implants depends on several key factors.

Factors that ensure a high success rate

The longevity of your implants depends on proper planning, expert placement, your health, and adherence to aftercare instructions.

At Central Avenue Dental, we use advanced imaging technology, including CT scans, to assess your jawbone density and precisely map the location for each implant. This process ensures a secure fit and optimal support for your final prosthesis.

What treatment entails

There are several phases to your treatment, from the initial consultation to the final restoration, when your Central Avenue Dental dentist attaches the All-on-4 prosthetic arch to the implant abutments.

Patient health and oral hygiene

Your overall health plays a significant role. Ideal candidates are in good general health with healthy gums. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or smoking can affect the healing process.

After we place your implants, you can maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing, flossing, and attending regular checkups. This oral care routine is crucial for preventing infection and ensuring long-term success.
