Full-Arch Implants Built for Life
— Not for a Sales Target
Experience matters — so does continuity.
Unlike national implant centers where teams change every few months, our surgeons personally plan, place, and follow your implants for years to come.
A New Smile in One Day
For patients with a long history of dental disease or who are missing all their teeth — often called All-on-4®, All-on-5, or All-on-X — offer a transformative way to restore a natural-looking, fully functional smile.
At NorthShore Center for Oral & Facial Surgery, our board-certified surgeons have been performing this advanced treatment for more than 15 years. Unlike removable dentures, implant-supported teeth are permanently anchored to your jaw, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence.
Discover how this proven, long-term solution can help you regain comfort, health, and confidence — for life.
Our Approach — Compassion and Continuity
At many large national implant centers, patients meet a sales coordinator before ever seeing a surgeon — and may never meet the same doctor twice. National implant centers often promise speed — but at the cost of long-term stability. Staff and surgeons rotate frequently, and patients are left without consistent care when problems arise later. Here, your care is never passed off or rushed.
Our oral surgeons personally handle every phase of the surgical treatment. When you are ready to have your permanent set of teeth delivered our surgeons will work alongside your restorative dentist to guarantee your success. Here’s what you can expect from us:
Comprehensive Consultation
We take time to understand your goals, health, and anatomy through 3-D imaging and facial analysis. No high-pressure sales tactics.
Digital Planning & Guided Surgery
Each implant is placed with precision to optimize strength, esthetics, and long-term health.
Sedation & Comfort
Your procedure is performed under IV sedation in our accredited surgical suites for maximum comfort and safety.
Provisional & Final Restorations
You’ll leave with a confident smile the same day, followed by a custom permanent bridge once healing is complete.
Long-Term Maintenance
The same team that performed your surgery remains your lifelong resource for maintenance and support.
“We don’t just place implants — we build relationships and results that endure.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes you different from other full arch implant centers like ClearChoice and Nuvia?
You’ll work directly with your surgeon — not a salesperson. We plan and perform every step of treatment and remain your long-term partners in care. Our focus is on quality, predictability, and the relationship we build with you — not production quotas.
How many implants are needed for a full arch restoration?
Most cases we use 4–6 implants per arch, depending on bone density and treatment goals.
Will I go without teeth during treatment?
In most cases, a temporary set of teeth is placed the same day as surgery, so you never leave the office without a smile.
How do I clean full arch implants?
Brush twice daily, floss with string floss and use a water flosser, and schedule regular cleanings. Our team will show you the best techniques for long-term care.
How long do full arch implants last?
With proper care, implants often last a lifetime. The restoration may need replacement over time, but the implants themselves are designed to be permanent.
What is the success rate?
Full arch implants have a success rate above 95% when placed by experienced surgeons and cared for properly.
What makes this better than dentures?
Unlike dentures, implant-supported arches don’t slip, don’t need adhesives, and help preserve bone health. See our blog post on “Dental Implants or Dentures?”.
Am I a candidate if I have bone loss?
Yes. Bone grafting or advanced implant techniques, including zygomatic implants, can often restore eligibility for patients with severe bone loss. Our board-certified surgeons are experts at treating complex cases, allowing patients who have been turned away by othereven when other surgeons to regain a fixed smile! have told patients that they are not candidates.
How much does treatment cost?
Your total investment is divided between two parts — the surgical phase, completed at our office, and the restorative phase, completed with your dentist. Most of our patients qualify for a single, all-inclusive surgical fee, which covers everything required for your case — regardless of the number of implants needed.
Our fees are competitive with national implant centers, but our difference is in the continuity of care: you’ll work directly with your board-certified surgeon from start to finish, with no sales consultants or revolving providers.
During your consultation, we’ll provide a transparent, itemized estimate and discuss flexible financing options to make treatment accessible and predictable from the start.
