A Straightforward Approach To Replacing A Full Arch

Are Full Arch Dental Implants Right For You?
Full arch dental implants may be considered when many teeth in an arch are missing, when remaining teeth have a poor prognosis, or when conventional dentures cause significant difficulty. Suitability varies between patients and depends on factors such as gum health, bone quantity and quality, medical history, medicines, smoking status and your ability to maintain oral hygiene.
Remaining teeth are assessed individually; teeth that can reasonably be kept and maintained should not be removed automatically to make way for implants. Because full arch implant treatment is surgical and complex, a detailed assessment, discussion of risks and alternatives and a tailored plan are essential before proceeding.

Frequently Asked Questions
There is no single number that fits every case; the number and position of implants depend on your anatomy, bone quality, bite and the chosen restorative design. Your clinician will plan the implants needed to provide safe support for the restoration during the planning stage.
Some patients require bone grafting or ridge augmentation to provide sufficient bone for implant support, while others do not. Whether grafting is needed depends on bone quantity and quality and is determined during clinical assessment and imaging where appropriate.
Cleaning typically involves daily home care to access around and under the restoration as advised, plus regular professional hygiene appointments and clinical reviews to check implant health and the condition of the prosthesis.
Not necessarily. Each remaining tooth is assessed for prognosis and value to overall function. Teeth that can reasonably be kept and maintained may be retained and incorporated into a wider restorative plan rather than removed routinely.
Final restorations are fitted only when clinically appropriate. Some plans include provisional restorations, but the timing of fixed final teeth depends on healing, implant integration and your personalised plan, so same-day fixed teeth cannot be promised.
If an implant fails to integrate or a complication develops, your clinician will explain options such as removal, replacement or adjustments to the restorative plan. Potential risks and likely management are discussed before treatment so you can decide with realistic expectations.
