Full arch dental implants are a long-lasting, fixed solution for replacing all missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Instead of replacing each tooth individually, a full set of teeth is supported by a small number of strategically placed dental implants.
This treatment is ideal for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, or for those struggling with loose or uncomfortable dentures. Full arch implants restore both function and appearance, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.
The treatment is carried out in several carefully planned stages:
Your dentist will assess your oral health, take scans, and create a personalised treatment plan. This ensures precise placement of the implants for the best possible results.
Typically, 4–6 dental implants are placed into the jawbone to support a full arch of teeth. These implants act as strong foundations for your new smile.
In many cases, a temporary fixed bridge can be fitted on the same day or shortly after surgery, so you’re never without teeth.
Over the following months, the implants fuse with the jawbone (osseointegration), creating a stable and durable base.
Once healing is complete, your custom-made permanent bridge is fitted. This is designed to look natural, feel comfortable, and function like real teeth.
Typically, 4–6 implants are used to support a full arch of teeth, depending on your individual case.
Yes, many patients are suitable for “same day teeth,” where a temporary fixed bridge is fitted shortly after implant placement.
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, and sedation options may be available. Most patients report only mild discomfort afterwards.
While temporary teeth may be fitted quickly, the full process usually takes a few months to allow for proper healing before the final bridge is placed.
No, they are fixed in place and only removable by your dentist, making them feel more like natural teeth.
Good oral hygiene is essential, including brushing, cleaning around the implants, and attending regular dental check-ups.
Most patients are suitable, but sufficient bone density and good overall oral health are important. A consultation will confirm your eligibility.
With proper care, implants can last for many years, often decades. The final bridge may need maintenance or replacement over time.
