Full Arch Implants (All-On-X) in san antonio, tx

Tooth loss affects many people today and can result from periodontal disease, trauma, or long-term dental neglect. If you’re missing multiple teeth or an entire row, full arch restoration may be the solution you’ve been looking for. At Mission Oral Surgery and Implant Center, we specialize in restoring complete smiles using several precisely placed dental implants—providing function, aesthetics, and confidence, all with your comfort and safety as our top priorities.

What Is Full Arch Restoration?

Full arch restoration, also known as All On X or All on Four(TM), involves using as few as four dental implants to support a complete prosthetic arch of teeth—either upper, lower, or both. These implants act as secure anchors for a custom prosthesis that looks and functions like natural teeth.

This procedure allows patients with extensive tooth loss to regain full use of their smile while minimizing surgical time and recovery. We work collaboratively with your restorative dentist to ensure a smooth, personalized treatment plan from start to finish.

Why Choose Full Arch Restoration?

Patients choose this treatment for its life-changing benefits:

• A Complete, Natural-Looking Smile – Replace an entire upper or lower row of teeth with beautiful, lifelike prosthetics. Some patients report finally having an aligned bright set of teeth for the first time in their life!
• Improved Chewing and Speaking – Restore your ability to eat your favorite foods and speak clearly. Many patients avoid eating healthy foods such as nuts, fruits or vegetables like apples, raw carrots or celery or meat like a juicy steak because they are hard and require functional chewing.  
• Treatment in a Single Day – With the aid of several preop appointments and our own in office technology and dental lab your new teeth can be placed on at least 4 implants in one day. This is made possible by combining several appointments into one day. 
• Fewer Implants, ShorterSurgery – Strategic placement means fewer implants and often a shorter surgical procedure. By placing multiple implants splinted together this avoids lengthy treatment plans such as extensive bone grafting followed by dental implants. 
• Durable, Long-Term Results – Implants help maintain bone health and provide a strong, lasting foundation.

Are You a Good Candidate?

You may be a candidate for full arch restoration if you:

• Are missing several or all teeth in one or both arches
• Have enough jawbone (or are open to bone grafting, if needed)
• Are in overall good health and able to undergo anesthesia

A consultation at Mission Oral Surgery and Implant Center will help determine the best treatment path for your unique needs. Call us at Mission Oral Surgery and Implant Center Phone Number (210) 490-4044 to get started.

What to Expect

Your treatment journey begins with a comprehensive planning appointment that includes our surgical team and your restorative dentist. During surgery, you’ll be placed under anesthesia to ensure your comfort.

The implants are placed in the jaw and allowed to heal over several weeks. During this time, you’ll be fitted with temporary teeth so you never go without a smile. Once healing is complete, your permanent prosthesis is attached for a beautiful and fully functional result.

Full Arch Replacement Options

Depending on your anatomy and goals, we may recommend:

• Snap Attachment Denture – Two implants with a snap-on denture.
• Screw-Retained Prosthesis – A fixed denture that is securely attached to multiple implants.
• Individual Implants – For maximum natural appearance and gum contour preservation.
• Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implants – Advanced options for patients with significant bone loss, offering greater support and expanded eligibility. This requires your surgeon to have advanced training like Dr Olsen to provide remote anchorage techniques. 

Recovery and Aftercare

Following surgery, you can expect mild swelling and tenderness. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions and a comprehensive pain management plan. A soft diet is recommended for the initial healing phase before gradually returning to your normal eating habits.
