Why it helps
Why patients choose Full-Arch Implants in Huntington Beach
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

Reviews from Huntington Beach
Patients near you say

Implant went well and Dr. Mitchell was thorough. The lobby was busy on a Monday so I waited about 20 minutes, which is the only reason for four stars. The results are great.

Dr. Mitchell removed my two impacted lower wisdom teeth. A team member explained the aftercare to my grandmother in Vietnamese so she could help me at home. Clear quote, no surprises, and the evening call was a nice touch.
Yelp
Cracked a molar on a Tuesday morning and had it out with Dr. Kowalski that afternoon. He was straightforward about why it could not be saved and what my implant options were later. Professional and quick.
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.
