At your first consultation for full arch dental implants in West Islip or Oceanside, NY, Dr. Calderón will perform a complete evaluation, discuss all the clinical phases of the treatment process, and provide a cost estimate. A CBCT scan will be taken to evaluate your entire mouth and jawbone. The imaging machine rotates entirely around your head and captures about 150-200 images from different angles in less than a minute. These are compiled into a single 3D image that Dr. Calderón uses to create personalized full arch dental implants to fit your unique dental anatomy.

All-on-X is a carefully designed system that builds on decades of dental implant technology. Dr. Calderón places dental implants at a precise angle and depth in your jawbone to ensure long-term support for your new bridge of teeth. Implants are placed at an angle in areas of your jaw with the densest bone. This protocol maximizes the use of existing bone, therefore the need for bone grafting is often eliminated. Because all the implants share the force of biting and chewing, this enhances bone growth around all of them and provides a more secure support for the final restoration.

It takes three to four months for dental implants to fully integrate with your jawbone. During the healing phase, you’ll have time to decide if you like the color, shape, fit, and bite of your temporary teeth. Dr. Calderón can make any needed adjustments to ensure your permanent teeth perfectly fit your needs. Hand-crafted by skilled lab technicians, the final zirconia full arch denture is designed to complement your facial aesthetics, skin tone, and lip line. Unlike porcelain, a zirconia bridge is strong enough to withstand stress to tooth surfaces caused by grinding and clenching. Aesthetically, zirconia has a translucency and color comparable to that of natural teeth.
