Why it helps
Why patients choose Full-Arch Implants in Fullerton
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.

Healing on a soft diet

Reviews from Fullerton

I used to drive to Anaheim Hills to see Dr. Haddad, so having him in Fullerton is much easier. He has managed my TMJ with a splint and Botox, and he explains every option before suggesting anything. The Korean-speaking staff helped my mother too.

Got my wisdom teeth out over winter break from Cal State. Dr. Mitchell was calm and efficient, and I liked leaving through the side exit instead of walking past everyone in the lobby. Back to normal in four days.

Clean new office and a very clear estimate. Dr. Mitchell placed my implant in under an hour and called that evening. No surprises on the bill.
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.

Do I need to be completely asleep?
Not necessarily. Many patients have deep IV sedation. General anesthesia with Marisol Vega, CRNA, is available on Mondays and Fridays.
