Records And Planning

04
Implant Placement

05
Healing And Review
Healing and review while the team monitors bone integration and soft-tissue healing; provisional teeth may be used in some plans when clinically suitable.
06
Final Restoration And Maintenance
The final restoration is fitted when implants and tissues are ready, followed by agreed maintenance and review appointments to support long-term health.
Are Full Arch Dental Implants Right For You?
Suitability varies between patients and is not appropriate in every case. Full arch implant treatment may be considered when many or all teeth in an arch are missing, when remaining teeth have a poor prognosis, or when conventional dentures cause persistent problems.
Remaining teeth are assessed individually and those that can reasonably be maintained are often kept rather than removed automatically. Factors such as gum health, bone quantity, medical history, medicines, smoking and your ability to maintain good hygiene all influence whether implants are recommended. We will explain alternatives, potential benefits, limitations and the risks so you can make an informed decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
There is no single answer because the number of implants required depends on your jawbone, bite and the chosen restorative design; your clinician will recommend a plan after assessment and imaging that balances function, support and long-term maintainability.
Start Smiling Dental Practice is based in Ingatestone and welcomes patients from Hall Mead School.
Cleaning depends on whether you have a fixed bridge or an implant-retained overdenture; you will be taught home care techniques and invited for regular professional hygiene and review appointments to remove plaque, check components and protect gum and implant health.
Not necessarily; each remaining tooth is assessed for its long-term prognosis and teeth that can be predictably maintained are often retained, while removal is recommended only when necessary for the health of the arch or to meet an agreed restorative plan.
Final restorations are fitted when your clinician judges the implants and surrounding tissues are ready; some plans include provisional teeth temporarily, but timelines vary and a definitive bridge or overdenture is placed only when appropriate for healing and long-term success.
If an implant fails to integrate or a complication arises, your clinical team will assess the cause and discuss remedial options, which may include repair, replacement or alternative restorative approaches, and management will be personalised to your situation.
