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

Years of clicking and morning headaches. Dr. Novak was methodical and started with a splint and physical therapy rather than jumping to anything invasive. The headaches are mostly gone. The Saturday appointment was a big help with my work schedule.

Two practices told me I needed bone grafts from my hip. Dr. Carver explained zygomatic implants with my own scan on the screen and gave me a single written price. Upper arch done in one surgery. Last month I had my first steak in six years.

Nervous wreck before the IV. The nurse gave me a warm blanket and headphones, and Dr. Kowalski talked me through it. I do not remember much after that. He called that evening, and I used the 24/7 line once when I was unsure about some bleeding. Very reassuring.
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
Full-Arch Implants in Newport Beach: answered
How do I know if I need zygomatic implants?
Your 3D scan shows how much bone is in your upper jaw. If there is too little for standard implants, Dr. Carver will explain whether zygomatic or pterygoid implants are a reasonable option.
Will I meet the prosthodontist before surgery?
Yes. Dr. Blake is part of your consultation, and he designs a preview of your teeth before anything is scheduled.
How long until my final teeth?
Usually four to six months. You wear a fixed temporary arch in the meantime.
