Why Full Arch Implants
A long-lasting solution
for a permanent, natural smile.
Full arch implants replace a complete set of failing or missing teeth with just four to six titanium posts — giving you a fixed bridge that never slips, never comes out, and feels just like your own teeth.
Eat Whatever You Want
Restore near-natural bite strength. Enjoy steak, apples, and every favorite food again — without hesitation or compromise.
Stays Permanently In Place
Anchored to your jawbone, your teeth will never slip, click, or shift — giving you complete confidence every single day.
Natural Look & Feel
Custom-crafted to complement your features — most people won't know they're implants unless you tell them.
A One-Time, Long-Term Solution
With proper care, full arch implants can last twenty years or more — far outlasting dentures or other tooth-replacement alternatives.

FAQ
Full arch implant questions,
honestly answered.
Will I be without teeth at any point during treatment?
+
No — in most cases, you receive a full set of temporary teeth on the same day as your implant surgery. You will not leave our Lafayette office without a complete, functional smile so your daily life can continue uninterrupted while your implants heal.
How long does the full arch process take from start to finish?
+
Most patients complete treatment in 4 to 7 months. Implant surgery and temporary teeth typically happen in one visit, followed by a healing period as your implants fuse with your jawbone before your final permanent teeth are placed.
Is the implant procedure painful?
+
Dr. Thanki uses appropriate anesthesia to keep you completely comfortable throughout surgery. Most patients tell us recovery is much easier than they expected — and we use a comfortable suction device that pulls away bacteria and keeps you at ease the entire time.
Can I eat normally after getting full arch implants?
+
Yes — that's one of the biggest benefits. Once fully healed, your bite strength returns close to natural levels. Steak, apples, corn — you can enjoy whatever you like without restriction or worry, just like your own natural teeth.
What if I don't have enough bone for implants?
+
Dr. Thanki's advanced training includes bone grafting and other supportive procedures. Even if you've experienced significant bone loss, there are often solutions available. Your diagnostic imaging at the complimentary consultation will reveal your exact options clearly.
How long do full arch dental implants last?
+
With proper care, the titanium implant posts themselves can last a lifetime. The attached bridge typically lasts 15 to 20 years or more. This is a long-term solution — not a temporary fix that needs replacing every few years like dentures.
Are the implants placed in-house?
+
Yes — Dr. Thanki accurately places your implants right here at Complete Family Dentistry using computer-guided technology. You're never referred out for surgery, which means one trusted doctor and one familiar location from your first consultation through your final permanent teeth.
How do I get started with my consultation?
+
Simple — book your complimentary consultation through this page or call us. Dr. Thanki will evaluate your jaw, bite, and overall oral health, walk you through your personalized treatment plan, and answer every question — clearly, honestly, and with zero pressure to proceed.
