What is the difference?
These terms describe a full arch of replacement teeth supported by four or six implants. The number is only one part of the plan: the dentist must also consider implant positions, bone, bite and the restoration. Neither label establishes which option is right for you.
Does six automatically mean better?
Ask the treating dentist to explain why the proposed design fits your mouth and health. An online photograph or a lower advertised price cannot establish candidacy. Discuss alternatives, whether any teeth can be retained, and what additional assessment is needed.
Are the same-day teeth the final teeth?
Temporary and final restorations are not necessarily the same. Ask which teeth you receive at each visit, what the healing period involves and whether the final restoration requires a return trip. Immediate placement or loading is not suitable for every case.
What belongs in an implant quote?
Compare the same arch, treatment stages and restoration before comparing totals.
- Upper, lower or both arches; implant count and system.
- Extractions, imaging and any additional procedures.
- Temporary teeth, final material and laboratory work.
- Follow-up visits, maintenance, repairs and travel for each stage.
How do I plan visits to Ciudad Juárez?
Ask for an expected visit sequence before arranging transport through El Paso. Keep timing flexible until assessment is complete, and identify who handles urgent dental concerns between visits. Request copies of implant details and the restoration plan for future care.
