Full Arch Replacement Options
Full Arch Replacements with Apex Dental
Individuals who have lost most or all of their teeth due to dental disease, injury, or other conditions may require a full arch replacement, also known as a full mouth reconstruction.
This loss of teeth can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life, making it difficult to speak clearly, eat comfortably, and smile confidently.
A full mouth reconstruction can help by:
- Restoring oral function
- Improving overall health and well-being

Full Arch Replacement and Bone Grafting
Before placing any implants, we will take a full series of CT scans with our 3D CBCT machine. This will allow us to determine the amount of the existing bone, and the location of the nerves, blood vessels, and sinuses. Since implants are placed into the bone, we need to know what we are working with beforehand!
If there isn’t enough bone available, Dr. Brad will determine the best course of action. He may choose a different implant size or location, or develop a plan for adding bone grafting material to the implant site. Bone grafting material is a biocompatible mineralized, freeze dried bone. This is packed into the site, covered with a membrane to promote proper healing, and left to heal and transform into newly grown bone. The body is amazing! Dr. Brad may also have to add bone near the sinus area, creating enough bone for the implant to be placed safely. This process is called a sinus augmentation.

“
I searched dental implants in the Kansas City and the West Des Moines areas. Apex Dental was the most friendly and seemed to tolerate my endless string of questions pretty well! Their office is immaculately clean and very orderly.
There is a large staff of maybe 30 people working like crazy every time I have had an appointment. There has never been a long wait and everyone in the office knows what they are doing.
I have had all my teeth removed and implants installed, both lower and upper. There has only been a couple of days of very mild discomfort. The only pain medicine I needed was Tylenol.
So if you are considering any kind of dental work I would give Apex my highest recommendation. Dr. Brad is one of the nicest and smartest people you will ever meet and his staff is second to none!
