Although every patient is unique, your journey to full arch dental implants should look something like this:

• The Initial Consultation: When you book an appointment at our Clearwater, FL dental office, Dr. Alqasemi or Dr. Adham will investigate smile and jawbone density to decide whether full arch implants or an alternative restorative dentistry solution would work for you. Here, your Clearwater dentist will help set up a comprehensive treatment plan, which could entail preliminary procedures (like bone grafts or other oral surgery).
  
  
• Oral Surgery Treatment: When your jaw is healthy and dense enough to support dental implants, your dental implant dentist will directly place 4-6 dental implants into the jaw.
  
  
• Healing and Osseointegration: Over time, the bone and implants fuse and become one in a process known as osseointegration. While your full arch dental implants heal, a tooth replacement appliance will be created in our go-to dental lab.
  
  
• Creating the Restoration: While your tailored appliance is made, our dentists will periodically check in to monitor the osseointegration of the dental implant and bone.
  
  
• Applying the Restoration: Once your dental implants have effectively fused with your natural jawbone, Dr. Alqasemi or Dr. Adham will place the final restoration on the implant and fasten it with dental cement
  
  
• Maintenance and Aftercare: Largely, full arch dental implants do not require special care outside standard oral hygiene routines. If cared for correctly, full arch dental implants can be maintained through standard brushing, flossing, and routine cleaning and hygiene appointments.
