What To Expect During Full Arch Implant Treatment
01
Comprehensive Assessment
We review oral and gum health, remaining teeth, bite, medical history, medication, smoking status and your expectations to assess suitability.
02
Records And Planning
X-rays, digital scans and sometimes 3D imaging are taken where clinically appropriate to plan implant positions and the restorative design for your case.
03
Preparatory Care When Needed
Gum stabilisation, restoring salvageable teeth or removing teeth that cannot be retained may be required; bone grafting is only needed in some cases.
04
Implant Placement
Implants are placed surgically, commonly with local anaesthetic, and the team will explain what to expect before and after the procedure.
05
Healing And Review
Healing and bone integration vary between people; the team monitors progress and adjusts treatment timing according to your clinical response.
06
Final Restoration And Ongoing Maintenance
Ongoing professional review and a personalised cleaning plan help maintain the restoration and surrounding tissues.
Are Full Arch Dental Implants Right For You?
Suitability varies between patients and requires an individual clinical assessment. We do not assume that all remaining teeth must be removed; teeth that can reasonably be maintained and restored may form part of a long-term plan.
Factors such as gum disease, oral-hygiene ability, smoking, medical history, medicines and bone quality all influence whether full arch implant treatment is appropriate. Your clinician will discuss alternatives including conventional dentures, implant-retained removable options, retaining and restoring suitable teeth or choosing not to proceed so you can decide what aligns best with your health and lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions
The number of implants required varies by case and depends on jaw anatomy, bone quality and the chosen restorative design. Your clinician will recommend an appropriate number and position only after clinical assessment and detailed planning for your mouth and goals.
Bone grafting may be recommended if there is insufficient bone to support implants safely, but it is not needed in every case. Imaging and clinical examination determine bone levels and whether grafting or other preparatory care is appropriate.
Daily cleaning around and beneath the restoration is important alongside regular professional reviews. Your team will show techniques and tools suited to your bridge or overdenture and set a personalised maintenance schedule.
Not necessarily. Each remaining tooth is assessed for its prognosis and function. Teeth that can be maintained and restored may be included in a long-term plan. Removal is only proposed when it is clinically appropriate and after discussion with you.
Final restorations are fitted only when healing and integration are suitable. Some plans include provisional teeth, but timing depends on clinical response rather than a fixed promise of same-day final teeth.
If an implant fails to integrate or a prosthetic complication arises, the team will explain options such as removal, replacement, repair or alternative restorative approaches and agree the next steps with you.
