Are Full Arch Dental Implants Right For You?
Suitability varies between patients. Full arch dental implants may be considered when many teeth are missing, remaining teeth have a poor prognosis, or conventional dentures are uncomfortable, but they are not appropriate in every case. Any remaining teeth are assessed individually and teeth that can reasonably be maintained should not be removed simply to provide implant sites.
Factors such as gum disease, bone quantity and quality, general health, medicines, smoking and your ability to manage oral hygiene all influence suitability. A consultation and necessary investigations are needed before a clinician can recommend a tailored plan and discuss alternatives such as retaining and restoring suitable teeth, conventional dentures or implant-retained removable options.

Frequently Asked Questions
The number and position of implants vary by patient and depend on bone, bite and the chosen restorative design. Your clinician will recommend an appropriate plan only after clinical assessment and imaging to determine what will support the final restoration reliably.
Start Smiling Dental Practice is based in Ingatestone and welcomes patients from Brentwood School. The need for grafting is determined during planning and imaging assessment.
Cleaning often involves special brushes, interdental aids and techniques to reach beneath and around the restoration, combined with regular professional hygiene appointments and clinical reviews to protect implants and prosthetic components.
Not necessarily. Each remaining tooth is assessed on its own merits and teeth that can reasonably be maintained may be preserved as part of a wider restorative plan rather than removed solely to allow implants.
Final restorations are fitted when clinically appropriate. Some plans include temporary teeth, but you should not expect a guaranteed immediate final bridge without assessment and confirmation by your clinical team.
If an implant does not integrate or a prosthetic complication occurs, your clinical team will explain remedial options which may include further treatment, replacement of the implant or changes to the restoration after discussing risks and benefits.
