Replace A Full Arch Of Teeth
01
Multiple dental implants may support replacement teeth for a complete upper or lower arch where clinically appropriate, following detailed assessment and planning[cite: 13].
What Full Arch Dental Implant Treatment Involves
Full arch dental implants in Brentwood High Street replace a complete upper or lower set of teeth using implants to support new replacement teeth. Multiple dental implants are placed in the jawbone to support replacement teeth across a full upper or lower arch[cite: 13]. We explain treatment options clearly and plan each case with careful assessment so you can decide whether implant-supported full arch teeth are right for you. For a general overview of the implant process see our dental implant treatment information.

What To Expect During Full Arch Implant Treatment
01
Comprehensive Assessment
Your clinician will review medical and dental history, examine teeth and gums, and discuss goals and alternatives.
02
Records And Planning
X-rays, scans or digital impressions may be taken to plan implant positions and the prosthetic design.
03
Preparatory Care
Active gum disease will be stabilised and any unsalvageable teeth may be removed; bone grafting is considered only if needed.
04
Implant Placement
Implants are placed in the jawbone under local anaesthetic and the procedure and aftercare are explained beforehand.
05
Healing And Review
Integration of implants is monitored over several visits; timing for provisional or definitive restorations depends on clinical findings.
06
Final Restoration And Maintenance
The definitive bridge or removable overdenture is fitted when appropriate and a maintenance programme is arranged[cite: 13].
Are Full Arch Dental Implants Right For You?
Suitability varies between patients and requires an individual clinical assessment[cite: 13]. Full arch replacement may be considered when many teeth in an arch are missing or have a poor prognosis, or when existing dentures cause significant problems.
Remaining teeth are carefully assessed and teeth that can reasonably be maintained will often be preserved rather than removed solely to provide implants. Factors such as gum health, bone quantity, bite, medical history, medicines, smoking and your ability to maintain oral hygiene all influence whether implant-supported full arch teeth are appropriate.
X-rays, 3D imaging or scans may be required to plan safely and to discuss realistic options with you. All surgical and prosthetic treatment carries risk, and implants can sometimes fail to integrate or later develop biological or mechanical complications; your clinician will explain likely benefits, risks and alternatives so you can make an informed decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
There is no fixed number that applies to everyone; the number and position of implants depend on jaw anatomy, bone quality, bite and the chosen restorative design. Your clinician will determine the appropriate plan during assessment and explain why a given approach suits your situation.
Bone grafting may be recommended if there is insufficient bone to support implants, but it is not always needed. The clinician will explain whether grafting or other preparatory care is appropriate for your specific situation and how it affects timing and costs.
Cleaning depends on the restoration type; some require interdental brushes and special floss, others need removal for cleaning. Regular professional hygiene care and scheduled reviews are important to protect long-term implant health and monitor the restoration.
Not necessarily. Each remaining tooth is assessed and teeth that can be reasonably maintained are often preserved. Full-arch replacement is not an automatic requirement simply because some teeth are damaged; alternatives may include restoring suitable teeth or using removable implant-retained options.
Final restorations are fitted only when clinically appropriate. Some plans include temporary teeth, but timing depends on healing and integration. Immediate fixed teeth are not promised and the clinician will explain provisional options during planning.
If an implant fails to integrate or complications develop, the team will explain options such as removing the implant, treating infection, revising the plan or replacing components as clinically indicated. Decisions are made with your informed consent and a focus on restoring function.
