Full-Arch Restoration
Full-arch implants in Sherman Oaks
A fixed set of teeth supported by dental implants, for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth or whose remaining teeth cannot be saved. From no teeth to full teeth.
What it replaces
A full-arch restoration replaces an entire upper or lower set of teeth with a bridge fixed to several implants. It stays in place and is not removed at night.
It is an alternative to a removable denture. Because the implants are anchored in the bone, the teeth are stable when eating and speaking, and the implants help preserve the jawbone.

Specialist Planning
Planned as one restoration
Implant positions are planned backwards from the final set of teeth, so the bridge fits, functions and looks right.
Dr. Hanookai plans full-arch cases from 3D imaging and digital scans and coordinates the final teeth with the restorative dentist. She treats cases from a single implant to full-mouth reconstruction with dental implants.
