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.
What Full Arch Implant Treatment Involves
In full arch dental implant treatment, multiple dental implants are placed in the jawbone to support replacement teeth across a full upper or lower arch. Treatment can deliver a fixed implant-supported bridge or a removable implant-retained overdenture depending on your anatomy, restorative goals and clinical findings. Every plan begins with an individual clinical assessment so you can understand options, likely steps and any preparatory care before deciding how to proceed. Treatment planning commonly uses X-rays, digital scans and three-dimensional imaging to guide implant position and the final restorative design; you can read more about our approach to dental implant treatment.

Improve Chewing Stability

Implant-supported or retained restorations can significantly improve chewing efficiency and stability compared to traditional removable dentures.

Full arch plans can include removing or restoring teeth that have a poor prognosis after careful clinical assessment.
Reduce Denture Movement

Implant-retained options can reduce day-to-day denture movement and increase comfort where clinically appropriate.
Support Facial Contours

Restored teeth and well-planned prosthetics can help support facial contours that change when many teeth are missing, depending on anatomy.
Restore Speech Function

Stable implant-supported or retained restorations can help with speech affected by missing teeth or unstable dentures where suitable.

Digital planning and careful restorative design aim to deliver natural-looking teeth that meet functional needs.

What To Expect During Full Arch Implant Treatment
01
Comprehensive Assessment
A complete assessment of oral health, gum condition, remaining teeth, bite, medical history, medicines and lifestyle factors is carried out to assess suitability.
02
Records And Planning
Records include X-rays, digital scans or 3D imaging where clinically appropriate to plan implant positions and the restorative design.
03
Preparatory Care
Preparatory work may include stabilising gum disease, retaining restorably sound teeth or removing unsalvageable teeth; grafting is recommended only when necessary.
04
Implant Placement
Implant placement is a surgical procedure usually carried out under local anaesthetic, with sedation discussed if clinically suitable and available.
05
Healing And Review
Healing and implant integration timelines vary and the clinician will review progress; temporary restorations may be used in some plans.
06
Final Restoration
Final restorations are fitted when the clinician confirms fit and integration, followed by a long-term cleaning and review plan.
Are Full Arch Dental Implants Right For You?
Suitability varies between patients and requires an individual clinical assessment. We will assess your gum health, bone quantity and quality, remaining teeth, bite and overall health including medical history and medicines to determine whether full arch implant treatment is appropriate.
Remaining natural teeth are evaluated carefully and teeth that can reasonably be maintained should not be removed automatically to create an implant solution. Factors such as smoking, active gum disease, poor oral hygiene or certain medical conditions can affect risk and success, and we will discuss alternatives such as conventional dentures, retaining and restoring suitable teeth, or removable implant-retained options.

Frequently Asked Questions
The number, position and implant type vary by jaw anatomy, bone quality, bite and restorative design; there is no single standard number so your clinician determines an appropriate plan during assessment and imaging.
Bone grafting requirements depend on individual jawbone volume and density; your clinician will evaluate this during your assessment and imaging stage and recommend grafting only when necessary.
Cleaning depends on restoration type but generally includes daily plaque control around and under the restoration as advised, plus regular professional hygiene visits and clinical reviews to monitor implant health.
Not necessarily; remaining teeth are assessed individually and teeth that can be maintained should not be removed automatically. Removal is considered only when clinically necessary for long-term oral health or to achieve the agreed restorative outcome.
Final restorations are fitted only when clinically appropriate after assessment of healing and integration; some plans include temporary restorations but timing varies and your clinician will explain the expected sequence.
Implant failure or mechanical complications can occur; implants or restorations may need repair, removal or replacement and your clinician will explain likely interventions and follow-up care as part of informed consent.
