Why it helps
Why patients choose Full-Arch Implants in Pasadena
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.
The process
What to expect, step by step
Typical timeline: Surgery typically takes three to five hours per arch. The final bridge follows in about four to six months.
- 01
Consultation with surgeon and prosthodontist
A complimentary visit with a 3D CBCT scan, photos and a discussion of your goals and options.
- 02
Digital design and one quote
The implants and the provisional bridge are designed in software, and every stage is priced in one written estimate.
- 03
Surgery day
Under IV sedation or general anesthesia, teeth are removed, implants placed and, for most patients, a provisional bridge attached.
- 04
Healing on a soft diet
Over roughly four to six months the implants bond to the bone, with check-ups along the way.
- 05
Final bridge
Your prosthodontist makes the final bridge in zirconia or reinforced acrylic, refined to your bite and appearance.

Dr. Liu took out all four of my daughter's wisdom teeth. She was nervous about the IV, and the team talked her through it calmly. Dr. Liu called that night to ask how she was doing. She was back at school on Monday.

Our son has seen Dr. McAllister since he was a baby, and now at 11 he had his bone graft at Molly Pasadena. She explains things to him directly, not just to us. The Wednesday clinic feels like a team that actually talks to each other.

Dr. Bell did my upper and lower jaw surgery after two years in braces. He went over the 3D plan with me twice and was realistic about the first two weeks, which were hard but exactly as he described. My bite and my sleep are both better.
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.
