Are Full Arch Dental Implants Right For You?
Deciding on full arch dental implants requires individual assessment. We assess remaining teeth carefully and will avoid removing teeth that can be maintained when this supports a better long-term outcome.
Suitability varies between patients and depends on gum health, bone quantity and quality, medical history, medicines, smoking, your ability to keep the area clean and your expectations. Alternatives include retaining and restoring suitable teeth, conventional dentures, implant-retained removable options or other restorative plans.

Frequently Asked Questions
The number of implants varies by patient and the restorative design chosen. Your clinician will recommend a plan based on jawbone, bite, remaining teeth and the type of restoration that best meets your needs, rather than applying a fixed implant count for every case.
Bone grafting may be needed in some cases but not everyone requires it. The need for grafting depends on bone quantity and quality and is determined during planning with X-rays or 3D imaging so your clinician can explain options and implications.
Cleaning involves daily home care around and beneath the restoration and regular professional reviews. Your clinician and hygienist will explain the specific tools and techniques to keep implants and surrounding gums healthy and reduce the risk of complications.
Not necessarily. Each tooth is assessed individually and teeth that can be maintained may be preserved when this supports better long-term health and function. Removal is recommended only when a tooth has a poor prognosis or interferes with a better restorative outcome.
Final restorations are fitted only when clinically appropriate. Some plans include provisional teeth, but the timing of a permanent restoration depends on healing and the overall treatment plan rather than a guaranteed same-day finish.
If an implant fails to integrate or a complication develops, the team will assess the cause and discuss options such as non-surgical care, replacement of the implant or alternative restorative approaches depending on what is clinically appropriate.
