Same-Day Full-Arch Dental Implants in Medford, OR

Benefits Over Traditional Dentures

• Stays in place. No slipping, clicking, or adhesives.
• Eat more of the foods you love. A fixed bridge lets you bite and chew with more confidence.
• Speak naturally. An upper full-arch bridge does not cover the roof of your mouth the way a traditional upper denture does.
• Helps preserve your jawbone. Implants stimulate the bone, which helps slow the bone loss that follows tooth loss.
• Fewer implants. Using four implants per arch can reduce treatment time and cost compared to replacing each tooth individually.
• Teeth on surgery day. In many cases, temporary teeth are attached the same day your implants are placed

The Treatment Process at Our Medford Office

Consultation and 3D Planning

Your first visit includes an exam, a review of your health history, and 3D imaging of your jaw. Our surgeons use virtual surgical planning to map the ideal position for each implant. We also coordinate with your restorative dentist, who will design your final teeth.

Surgery Day

Any remaining teeth that need to be removed are extracted, and the four implants are placed. Our team offers several anesthesia options and monitors you carefully throughout the procedure. When the implants are stable enough, a temporary full-arch bridge is attached before you go home.

Healing

Over the next several months, your jawbone fuses with the implants. During this time, you will wear your temporary teeth and follow a soft-food diet so the implants can heal without too much pressure.

Your Final Teeth

Once healing is complete, your restorative dentist replaces the temporary bridge with your final, custom-made teeth.

Recovery and Diet After Full-Arch Implant Surgery

Recovery after full-arch implant surgery is usually very manageable. Your surgeon will give you detailed instructions to follow at home. Here is a general idea of what to expect.

The First Few Days

• Mild bleeding or pink saliva is normal for about 24 hours.
• Swelling is expected. Apply ice to your cheeks during the first 36 hours to help keep it down.
• Start your pain medication as the anesthesia begins to wear off, and take any prescribed antibiotics exactly as directed.
• Avoid rinsing, spitting, or touching the surgical areas on the day of surgery.
• Keep physical activity light so you don’t increase bleeding or throbbing.
• Do not smoke. Smoking can interfere with implant healing.

What to Eat While Your Implants Heal

Your temporary teeth are not designed for hard chewing. Following a soft diet protects your implants while they bond with the bone. Drink plenty of fluids, avoid very hot foods and drinks right after surgery, and choose soft, nutritious options such as:

• Smoothies and protein shakes
• Scrambled eggs
• Mashed potatoes
• Yogurt and cottage cheese
• Soups, cooled to a comfortable temperature
• Soft-cooked pasta
• Flaky fish
• Well-cooked vegetables

Avoid hard, crunchy, or sticky foods such as nuts, chips, raw carrots, caramel, and crusty bread until your surgeon says it’s safe. Your surgeon will let you know when you can begin adding firmer foods back into your diet.

Caring for Your New Teeth

Your new teeth can’t get cavities, but the gums and implants underneath still need daily care to stay healthy.

• Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
• Clean under the bridge using the tools your dental team recommends, such as a water flosser.
• Keep regular dental visits for professional cleanings and checkups.
• Avoid using your teeth to open packages or chew on ice.

The Cost of Same-Day Full-Arch Implants

The cost of same-day full-arch treatment depends on whether you are treating one or both arches, whether extractions or grafting are needed, your anesthesia choice, and the type of final bridge. We will give you a clear estimate after your consultation. Our insurance and financial coordinators can help you understand your benefits, and financing through Sunbit lets you begin treatment now and pay over time.
