Full Arch Immediate Implants
 Losing most or all of your teeth doesn’t mean you have to live without a complete, confident smile. At Summit Dental Group, we offer full arch immediate implants to restore your smile in a single day. With convenient locations in Fort Wayne and Huntington, Indiana, our experienced team delivers permanent, functional solutions designed for comfort, aesthetics, and speed.
What Are Full Arch Immediate Implants?
Full arch immediate implants replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw using just a few strategically placed dental implants. Unlike traditional implants that may require months before attaching teeth, this technique allows for the placement of a full set of temporary prosthetic teeth the very same day as your surgery.
Also known as “Teeth in a Day” or “Same-Day Smile,” this procedure is ideal for patients who want to walk out with a functioning smile immediately after treatment.

FAQs
How are full arch immediate implants different from traditional implants?
Traditional implants may require several months before attaching prosthetic teeth. Full arch immediate implants allow for same-day placement of temporary teeth, offering faster results and immediate function.
Are full arch implants painful?
Most patients report only mild discomfort after the procedure, managed with over-the-counter or prescription medication. Sedation options are available to ensure comfort during surgery.
How long do the implants last?
With proper care, the dental implants themselves can last a lifetime. The attached prosthetic arch may need replacement over time, depending on wear and oral hygiene habits.
Is this treatment covered by insurance?
Some insurance plans may offer partial coverage for implant-related procedures. Our team will help you review your benefits and explore financing options to make treatment more accessible. |
