If two or more of these sound familiar, full-arch implants are worth a conversation.
What is a full-arch implant?
A whole new set of teeth on a few implants.
Implants are placed in the jaw, then a full set of teeth is fixed on top. You don’t need an implant for every tooth: a small number of implants supports the whole upper or lower arch.
- Fixed in place. Not taken out at night, no adhesives.
- Chew with confidence. Implants hold the teeth firmly, unlike a denture resting on your gums.
- Nothing covering your palate. Upper full-arch teeth don’t need the plate a denture uses, so food tastes like food again.
- Helps keep the jawbone in place. Implants give the bone something to hold onto.

Denture, snap-in or fixed full-arch?
There’s no single right answer for everyone. Here’s an honest look at the three main ways to replace a full arch of teeth.
Fixed full-arch implants
A full set of teeth fixed to implants. Only your dentist removes it.
- Stays put when you eatYes, fixed in place
- Take it out at nightNo
- Covers the roof of your mouthNo
- Helps preserve jawboneYes
- Surgery neededYes
- Up-front costHighest
Implant-supported (snap-in) denture
A denture that snaps onto implants for a better hold. You take it out to clean.
- Stays put when you eatMuch better than a denture
- Take it out at nightYes, to clean
- Covers the roof of your mouthSometimes less
- Helps preserve jawboneYes, where implants are
- Surgery neededYes, fewer implants
- Up-front costIn between
Traditional denture
A removable set of teeth that rests on your gums. No implants.
- Stays put when you eatCan slip or click
- Take it out at nightYes
- Covers the roof of your mouthYes, upper dentures do
- Helps preserve jawboneNo
- Surgery neededNo
- Up-front costLowest
The best option depends on your bone, your health, your budget and what matters most to you. Dr. Malespin will walk you through all three at your free consultation.
How it works
Your path to a new smile.
- Step 1
Free consultation
Meet Dr. Malespin, talk about what’s bothering you, and get an exam and X-rays to see where you stand.
- Step 2
Your plan and price
He designs your new teeth and shows you the plan, timeline and full cost before you commit.
- Step 3
Implant placement
Any failing teeth are removed and the implants are placed. Ask about temporary teeth while you heal.
- Step 4
Healing
Over the next few months the implants bond with your jawbone. Your timeline depends on your healing.
- Step 5
Your final teeth
Your permanent full-arch teeth are fixed in place, and your bite is checked and fine-tuned.
Been told you’re not a candidate?
“I was told I don’t have enough bone.”
Bone loss is common after years without teeth or in a denture, and it doesn’t automatically rule you out. Dr. Malespin will review your X-rays and explain what’s possible in your case. A second opinion is free.

Questions
Answers before you book.
Still wondering about something? Call (281) 449-1053 and ask. We’re happy to help, in English or Spanish.
Are full-arch implants the same as All-on-4?
“All-on-4” is a brand name for one way of doing full-arch implants with four implants per arch. Full-arch is the broader term. Some people need four implants, some need more. Dr. Malespin decides based on your bone and bite.
Can I take them out?
Fixed full-arch teeth are not removable at home. Only your dentist removes them for maintenance. If you prefer something you can take out, an implant-supported denture snaps on and off.
Can I get teeth the same day?
Sometimes temporary teeth can be attached soon after the implants are placed, depending on your bone and how stable the implants are. Dr. Malespin will tell you whether that’s possible in your case.
How long does treatment take?
Most patients finish in a few months, because the implants need time to bond with the bone. Extractions or bone support can add time. You’ll get your timeline at your consultation.
I already wear dentures. Can I still get full-arch implants?
Very often, yes. Many full-arch patients have worn dentures for years. Bone loss from wearing a denture doesn’t automatically rule you out.
Does it hurt?
The area is numbed during treatment. Afterwards, expect some soreness and swelling for several days. Dr. Malespin will go over pain control and what to expect.
How do I clean full-arch implants?
You brush them like natural teeth and clean underneath with a water flosser or special floss. Regular checkups and cleanings keep the implants and gums healthy.
How long do they last?
Full-arch implants are designed as a long-term solution. With good home care and regular checkups, they can last many years. The teeth on top may eventually need repair or replacement from wear.
Can I pay monthly?
Yes. We offer financing through CareCredit and LendingClub, subject to approval. We’ll also help you see what your dental insurance covers.
Do you speak Spanish?
Sí. Dr. Malespin speaks Spanish, and you can talk with us in English or Spanish from your first call to your final visit.
Only missing one tooth?
