In many cases, where the patient has several broken or missing teeth or has an uneven bite, it is best to do both arches at the same time to avoid compromising the final result. This allows us to control the patient’s biting plane and bite. Doing both arches at the same time is a complex procedure, and is beyond the skill level of most dentists. However, we have the specialists, experience and protocols that give us the capability of handling two-jaw cases in one day. In other instances, treatment can be sequenced to meet the financial, health, or other individual needs of the patient.
