Metal-Free Full Arches in St. Petersburg, Florida
Full-arch reconstruction
Full-arch reconstruction
in St. Petersburg, FL.
When a full arch needs rebuilding, Dr. Carlo Litano, DMD plans it on CBCT imaging and rebuilds it on metal-free zirconia implants under the Swiss BioHealth protocol. Planning, surgery, and restoration finish in one office on Mirror Lake.
Why Zirconia Arches
Full-arch zirconia reconstruction.
A full arch is the largest restoration dentistry places, and material choice compounds across it. Zirconia keeps the entire reconstruction metal-free, non-corroding, and free of galvanic currents, planned tooth by tooth on 3D imaging.
-
Zirconia at every position
Ceramic implants carry the arch without metal anywhere in the mouth.
- Metal-free zirconia ceramic
- Zero corrosion, zero currents
- Single-piece and two-piece options
- Swiss BioHealth protocol
Finished in-house
The on-site lab restores the arch without outside labs or long temporaries.
- Primescan digital impressions
- In-house CAD/CAM milling
- Metal-free restorations
- One office, start to finish
Implant Arch vs Denture
Implant arch vs conventional denture.
Dentures rebuild the smile from the gums up. An implant-borne arch rebuilds it from the bone up, and the difference shows daily.

| Property | Zirconia implant arch | Conventional denture |
|---|---|---|
| Anchoring | Fixed on ceramic implants | Rests on the gums |
| Material | Metal-free zirconia | Acrylic, metal common |
| Stability | Implant-anchored | Adhesives and suction |
| Bone | Implants keep the bone loaded | Ridge resorbs over time |
| Planning | CBCT-planned per site | Impressions only |
The Process
Rebuilding an arch, step by step.
Full-arch cases run on a written plan from the first scan. Traveling patients can complete the surgical phase in one trip.
-
CBCT scan and plan
Bone, nerves, and sinus anatomy come off the 3D scan, and every implant position goes into a written plan with a cost estimate.
-
Preparation
Extractions run biologically where needed, with ozone and LPRF, and whole body preparation per the protocol.
-
Implant placement
Zirconia implants go in under the Swiss BioHealth standard, ozone-disinfected at every site.
-
Arch restoration
The in-house lab designs and mills the metal-free restoration, tracked through healing with follow-up imaging.
Sequencing varies per case. The CBCT scan and consultation set the timeline before any work begins.
Inside the Office
An arch completed in one office.
Full arches take planning, surgery, and a lab. All three live on Mirror Lake, with a private apartment upstairs for traveling patients.

Teeth that cannot be saved come out biologically: ozone-treated sockets and LPRF healing, sequenced with implant placement per the plan. Holistic extractions.
The CBCT scan sets the timeline: bone quality, extractions needed, and healing windows all factor in. You leave the consultation with the sequence in writing.
Yes. Patients fly in from across the U.S., and the private apartment one floor above the clinic lets surgical phases finish without a second trip. Plan a visit.
