A Confident New Smile: Full-Arch Dental Implants in Pompano Beach
All-on-4 and full-arch dental implants replace a whole upper or lower set of teeth with a complete new set held in place by implants. At My Pompano Dentist in Pompano Beach, Dr. Andrew Browne plans your arch on a 3D scan taken in our office and places the implants himself. For a full arch he usually places six or more implants instead of the standard four, for extra support over the years, and in many cases we fit a natural-looking temporary set the same day your implants are placed.
Is This the Right Path for You?
If most of the teeth on your top or bottom aren't working the way they used to, replacing them one at a time isn't always the kindest path. A full-arch restoration rests on a set of gently placed implants, usually six or more, and gives you back a complete set of teeth that stay right where they belong, so you can eat and laugh without a second thought. And if a well-made denture would truly serve you better, we'll tell you that, too.
Every Step Mapped Out First
First we take a 3D scan and map out exactly where each implant should sit, so the day itself is precise and easy on your jaw. You'll see the whole plan before we start, with no surprises and plenty of room for your questions. In many cases we can place your implants and fit a natural-looking temporary set the same day, so you're never left waiting around on your smile while everything settles.
The Smile You'll Keep
Your temporary set does its job while everything settles comfortably into place underneath. When the time is right, we craft your final teeth to look and feel like your own, matched to your face so they suit you. We won't rush that last step, because it's the one you'll live with and enjoy for years, and we want it just right before you walk out the door with the smile you'll keep.
How is a full-arch restoration different from a regular denture?
It comes down to how it's held in place. A traditional denture rests on your gums and comes out at night, and it can shift while you eat or talk. A full-arch restoration is anchored to implants set into your jaw, so it stays put and feels far more like your own teeth. You can bite into the foods you love and speak without a second thought, with nothing to take out and soak.
What does the whole process look like, from first visit to final smile?
It starts with a conversation and a 3D scan, so we can see everything clearly and plan it together. On treatment day, we place your implants and, in many cases, fit a natural-looking temporary set the same day. That temporary does its job while everything settles over the next few months. When you're ready, we craft and place your final teeth, made to look and feel like your own. You'll always know the next step before it happens.
How do I know if I'm a good candidate?
Most people are, but the only way to be sure is to take a look. We'll check the health of your gums and jaw with a 3D scan and talk through your goals. If a full arch is the right path, we'll show you exactly why. And if a well-made denture or another option would truly serve you better, we'll tell you that just as plainly. You'll never get a hard sell here.
How much do full-arch dental implants cost in Pompano Beach, FL?
It depends on how many implants your jaw needs, whether any teeth have to come out first, and the materials in your final set of teeth. We'll price the whole plan before you decide. We're glad to file your out-of-network PPO benefits, and Cherry, CareCredit, Sunbit, and HFD spread payments over time, alongside our in-house membership plan.
Do all of my remaining teeth have to come out?
On the arch we're restoring, yes — any teeth still there are removed so the new set can sit properly. That's the part people dread most, and we handle it in the same gentle appointment, with a temporary set often going in the same day. The opposite arch is its own conversation. We've had patients come from Lighthouse Point after a decade in a denture and go home with implants.
What can I eat once my final teeth are in?
Nearly everything you've been missing. Because the teeth are anchored to implants rather than resting on your gums, you can bite into an apple, enjoy a steak, and sit down to a meal out without planning around it. We'll ask you to go gently while the implants settle, and then you're free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I have teeth the same day?
In most cases, yes. We can often place your implants and fit a natural-looking temporary the same day, so you leave with a full smile while everything heals comfortably underneath.Is this the same as dentures?
Not quite. A denture rests on your gums and comes out at night. A full-arch restoration is anchored to implants, so it stays put and lets you bite and speak with confidence.How many implants will I need?
Usually six or more per arch. Dr. Browne places more than the standard four because the extra support means fewer things can go wrong over the years. We'll take a 3D scan and show you the exact plan before anything begins, so there are no surprises.I've worn a denture for years. Is my jaw too far gone for this?
Often it isn't. A 3D scan shows us exactly how much bone is there, and there's usually more to work with than people fear. We've had patients come from Lighthouse Point after a decade in a denture and go home with implants. If grafting is needed first, we'll say so.Will I be able to drive myself home afterward?
If we use local anesthetic only, yes. If you'd rather take light oral sedation to relax, you'll need someone to drive you both ways. We'll settle that at your consultation so the day is planned out and nothing catches you off guard.Who places full-arch implants at My Pompano Dentist?
Dr. Andrew Browne plans and places your implants himself, here in our Pompano Beach office. The 3D scanner and the 3D printer that makes your temporary teeth are down the hall, so you aren't sent anywhere else for a scan. If your case would be safer in a specialist's hands, he'll tell you so plainly and help you get there.What happens at a full-arch implant consultation?
We start by talking about your teeth, your health and what you want from your smile. Then we take a 3D scan right here in our office, and Dr. Browne checks your gums, your jaw and how much bone there is to work with. He walks you through what he sees, your options and the cost of the whole plan, so you can decide with no pressure that day.How does Dr. Browne plan a full-arch case?
Every arch is planned on a 3D scan before treatment day. Dr. Browne maps where each implant should sit and how many your jaw needs, usually six or more, and designs your temporary teeth ahead of time so we can 3D-print them in our office. You'll see the whole plan before we begin. On treatment day, any remaining teeth on that arch come out, the implants go in, and in many cases your temporary set goes in the same day.
