A Full Set of Fixed Teeth, Anchored for Good
All-on-4, All-on-6, fix-on-6, whatever term you’ve heard, it means the same thing: a full arch of fixed teeth anchored to a small number of implants. Dr. Waris and Dr. Arafa review your case together, and Dr. Arafa places and restores it himself, right here.
What All-on-X Actually Is
If you’re wearing a denture that slips, or you’re down to a handful of failing teeth on an arch, All-on-X replaces the whole arch with one fixed bridge of teeth. Instead of one implant per tooth, we anchor the full arch to four to six implants, with the back implants placed at an angle to reach solid bone.
That angled placement is what makes full-arch implants possible for patients who assumed they’d lost too much bone to qualify. The result is a set of teeth you don’t take out at night or reline, closer to your natural bite than a removable denture, though results vary by case.
You Don’t Need Perfect Bone to Qualify
Full-arch implants tend to make sense if…
Gum disease gets treated first, well-controlled diabetes is usually fine, and if you smoke, we’ll talk honestly about how that affects healing.
A consult and a 3D scan tell us for sure, not a guess over the phone.
From Consultation to Final Teeth
Real consultation
An exam, a 3D scan of your jaw, and a conversation about your goals before anyone recommends a plan.
Planned together
Dr. Waris and Dr. Arafa review your scan together and map implant count, extractions, and any grafting.
Placement day
Implants placed under local anesthesia, with sedation available. Whether a fixed temporary set goes on the same day depends on how firmly the implants hold once they are placed, which is judged during the procedure.
Healing
Your jawbone fuses to the implants over the following months. That step can’t be rushed.
Final restoration
Once healed, your final custom set is placed, and we’ll always tell you plainly which stage you’re in.
One Team Owns the Whole Outcome
Most offices that offer full-arch implants send you elsewhere for the surgery, then elsewhere again for your final teeth: three offices, three bills, nobody who owns the whole outcome. Here, Dr. Arafa places and restores your implants himself, with Dr. Waris part of the planning throughout.
We’ll only recommend what your case actually needs, no upselling, no surprises on the bill.
They took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the process, ensuring that I understood what was happening and addressing any concerns I had.
A Real Quote, Not a Flat Price
There’s no flat price for All-on-4, because there’s no flat case: implant count, extractions, grafting, and your final restoration all change the number. We’ll give you a real quote after your exam and 3D scan, not before.
Insurance sometimes covers part of the exam or extractions but usually doesn’t cover the implants themselves in full. We’re in-network with most major plans, accept Medicaid, and check your coverage before your visit, with financing for the rest.
Full-Arch Questions
Sometimes, and it is decided at the appointment rather than promised beforehand. A temporary set can be fixed in place the same day only when the implants hold firmly enough to carry it; that grip is what the surgeon checks once they are placed. When it is there, you leave with teeth. When it is not, waiting protects the implants while the bone locks on. Either way, the temporary is not your final set: that is custom-made and placed once healing is complete, usually a few months later.
No. Dr. Arafa places and restores your implants himself, and Dr. Waris is part of your treatment planning, so your care stays with one team throughout.
It depends on your case: implant count, any grafting or extractions, and your final restoration. We give you a real number after your exam, along with your financing and insurance options.
Not necessarily. Age alone isn’t a barrier, and bone loss is often worked around with angled placement or a graft. A consult and 3D scan tell us for sure.
Placement is done under local anesthesia, with sedation available for extra comfort. Most patients say it’s more comfortable than they expected, with some mild soreness for a few days after.
