Full-Arch Implants (All-on-X) · Burbank, CA
Teeth in a day on West Alameda
Dr. Thomas Nakamura performs full-arch surgery at Burbank, and Dr. Olivia Grant, our prosthodontist, fits your temporary arch, usually the same day. Patients who wear loose dentures often start with a consultation to compare a fixed bridge with an implant-supported denture.

- From $19,900 per arch
- Time
- Surgery typically takes three to five hours per arch. The final bridge follows in about four to six months.
- Insurance
- Dental insurance usually covers only a portion, often the extractions and part of the implant benefit, up to your annual maximum.

Why it helps
Why patients choose Full-Arch Implants in Burbank
Fixed teeth, not a denture
The bridge stays in. No adhesive, no palate coverage and no taking it out at night.
Teeth on surgery day for most
When the implants are stable, a provisional bridge is attached the same day or within a day or two.
Two specialists on your plan
Your surgeon places the implants and an in-house prosthodontist designs the teeth, bite and smile.
Often avoids major grafting
Angled implants placed in the strongest bone mean many patients don't need extensive bone grafts first.

Yelp
Twenty years of a lower denture that never stayed put. Dr. Grant and Dr. Nakamura put in four implants and now it snaps in and stays. The quote listed everything, and there were no surprises on the bill.

My implant from another office had been sore for a year. Dr. Nakamura took one look at the scan and showed me the bone loss nobody had mentioned. He replaced it in two stages and explained the timeline up front. It finally feels like a normal tooth.

I had a 7 a.m. surgery slot and was home by 9:30. Dr. Liu explained everything twice because I was nervous, and the team gave me a warm blanket and headphones. She called that evening to check on me. Swelling was gone in about four days.
Is it right for you?
You may be a good candidate if…
- Adults missing most or all teeth in one or both jaws
- People whose remaining teeth are failing from decay, gum disease or fractures
- Denture wearers who are tired of movement, sore spots or adhesive
- Patients in reasonable general health with well-controlled conditions
- Those willing to stop smoking around surgery and keep up maintenance visits
Recovery tips
- Expect swelling and some bruising for about a week. Ice in the first two days and keeping your head raised help.
- Follow a soft diet for the full healing period. Avoid biting into hard or crunchy foods with the provisional bridge.
- Take medications exactly as prescribed, including antibiotics if given.
- Clean around and under the bridge daily with a soft brush and a water flosser once your surgeon says it is time.
- Don't smoke or vape during healing. It is one of the main causes of early implant problems.
- Keep every follow-up and maintenance visit so the implants and bridge can be checked and cleaned.
FAQ

Will I be asleep for full-arch surgery?
You will have deep IV sedation with continuous monitoring. If you need general anesthesia, we can schedule surgery at our Pasadena office with Dr. Asante and see you in Burbank for everything else.
What can I eat after?
A soft diet for six to eight weeks while the implants integrate: eggs, fish, pasta, soups. Your surgeon will tell you when you can return to firmer foods.
