Restorations · Full-arch implant restorations
Full-arch implant restorations. Zirconia and acrylic hybrids.
Screw-retained full-arch prostheses on four or six implants, on a T-base or a bar. Made to your prescription and quality assured to SAMZ standards before they return to your practice. Priced case by case.
The range
Two ways to restore a full arch on implants
Full-arch cases are planned with you stage by stage. Send the implant system and positions and we will confirm the design, the stages and the price before work starts.
Full-arch zirconia
A one-piece milled zirconia prosthesis with pink gingival characterisation. With no acrylic teeth to wear or debond, staining and chipping are reduced when compared with acrylic hybrids.
- Supported by:
- T-bases, or a cobalt-chrome or titanium bar
- Indicated for:
- the edentulous arch restored on four or six implants
Hybrid acrylic
Denture teeth and acrylic gingiva processed over a milled bar. Lighter than zirconia and simpler to repair and adjust.
- Supported by:
- a cobalt-chrome or titanium bar
- Indicated for:
- the edentulous arch; cases where weight or repairability matters

Full-arch questions
Why is there no published price?
Each case differs in the number of implants, the framework and the stages needed. We confirm the price in writing before any work starts.
Zirconia or acrylic hybrid?
Zirconia where wear resistance and appearance lead; acrylic where a lighter prosthesis or easier repair matters. Tell us the priority and we will advise.
Do you make a try-in or prototype first?
Yes. We recommend a verification jig and a tooth try-in before the final prosthesis. State the stages you want on the prescription.
Which implant systems do you support?
Straumann and Implant Swiss. Other systems on request: tell us the system and the multi-unit abutments used.
