Full Arch Dental Implants with Zirconia Bridge (All-on-4 / All-on-X)

Learn how to restore your smile comfortably, safely, and aesthetically through dental implant treatment with a protocol prosthesis

The complete loss of teeth in one arch compromises essential functions such as chewing, speech, and the aesthetics of the smile. This condition can profoundly affect quality of life and self-esteem. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers effective solutions for these cases, notably full-arch dental implants with a zirconia prosthesis—a treatment that restores functionality, aesthetics, and well-being to the patient. We currently offer the modern option of Zirconia Full Arch Dental Implants, which provide a highly natural-looking final result.

At ImplArt Clinic, a leading center for advanced oral rehabilitation in São Paulo, this treatment is performed with excellence by Dr. Roberto Markarian, a specialist in implant dentistry with over 25 years of clinical experience and numerous internationally recognized scientific publications.

“Full-mouth rehabilitation using dental implants and a full arch prosthesis is the most modern, safe, and long-lasting way to restore the smile and quality of life of patients who have lost all their teeth in one arch,” says Dr. Roberto Markarian.

How is a Full Mouth Dental Implants Treatment done?

A dental implant with a full arch prosthesis, also known as All-on-four or All-on-X, is an oral rehabilitation technique that uses 4 to 8 implants per arch, strategically placed in the maxillary or mandibular bone, to support a full mouth prosthesis—a complete fixed prosthesis that functionally and aesthetically replaces all missing teeth.

Unlike removable dentures, a fixed prosthesis is screw-retained to the implants, providing stability, security, and a natural feel when speaking, smiling, and chewing.

“The main advantage of the protocol prosthesis is that it restores the patient’s sense of having fixed teeth again, with comfort and confidence,” explains Dr. Markarian.

Precise Planning with Guided Surgery for Full Arch Dental Implants

One of the key features that sets ImplArt Clinic apart is its use of computerized surgical guides, which allow for minimally invasive dental implant surgery without incisions in the gums. The technique utilizes 3D imaging and intraoral scanning to guide the placement of implants with millimeter-level precision.

“With guided surgery, we are able to perform the implant procedure without incisions or stitches, which reduces swelling and pain and significantly speeds up the patient’s recovery,” notes Dr. Roberto Markarian.

This technology even allows for immediate loading, where the patient leaves the operating room with a fixed temporary prosthesis, accelerating the benefits of treatment from day one.

Dental Implants with Zirconia Prosthetics: High-Performance Strength and Aesthetics

For permanent restorations, ImplArt Clinic offers monolithic zirconia crowns, a state-of-the-art material that is extremely durable, biocompatible, and has a highly natural appearance.

“Zirconia has truly revolutionized the aesthetics and durability of all-ceramic restorations. Patients end up with a beautiful, natural-looking smile that lasts,” notes Dr. Markarian.

Zirconia stands out for its wear resistance, metal-free structure, and translucency similar to that of natural teeth—making it ideal for those seeking the best possible aesthetic result.

Benefits of Dental Implants with a Full-Arch Bridges

• Stability and Comfort: Fixed dentures eliminate shifting, discomfort, and the need for adhesives, which are common with removable dentures.
• Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the bone, preventing the bone resorption that occurs after tooth loss.
• Natural Aesthetics with Zirconia: Custom-made dental restorations that look just like natural teeth.
• Improved Chewing: Allows you to chew all types of food safely.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery: Thanks to the surgical guide, the procedure is quick and recovery is easier.

Step-by-Step: Upper Full Arch Dental Implants and Lower Full Arch Implant-Supported Bridge

1. Digital Assessment and Planning: Using imaging tests (such as CT scans and intraoral scans), it is possible to precisely plan the position of the implants.
2. Surgery Using a Surgical Guide or Conventional Implant Surgery: Implants are inserted using a minimally invasive technique, without incisions. The implant placement sites are planned using computer-aided design and digital tomography. In the case of conventional implant surgery, 4 to 6 implants are inserted by implantologist Dr. Roberto Markarian.
3. Healing (Osseointegration): The bone fuses with the implants, ensuring the stability of the dental implants and preparing them to support the dental prosthesis.
4. Placement of the Permanent Prosthesis: The temporary prosthesis is fabricated after the implants have healed, which can take 2 to 4 months, depending on the type of dental implant used.

In some cases, the patient may receive a fixed temporary prosthesis on the same day as the surgery, which offers significant functional and emotional benefits.

Clinical and Scientific Excellence

The success of dental implant and prosthetic treatment depends on factors such as the patient’s overall health, bone density, and, above all, the experience of the treating team.

Dr. Roberto Markarian, clinical director at ImplArt, is the author of important studies in the field, such as the article published in the international Journal of Prosthodontics, which examines the stresses on fixed prostheses with different types of implants:
