Start Smiling Dental Practice is based in Ingatestone and welcomes enquiries from patients near London Stansted Airport who are considering full arch dental implants.

How Full Arch Dental Implants Can Help
Full arch restorations can replace a whole upper or lower arch and improve comfort, function and appearance where appropriate.
Restore Chewing And Eating Function
02
Replace missing teeth to help restore chewing and allow a wider range of foods for some patients depending on the restorative plan.
Improve Denture Comfort
03
Implant-supported restorations can reduce unwanted movement of dentures in many cases and improve day-to-day comfort.
Reduce Reliance On Removable Dentures
04
Where clinically appropriate, implants can reduce or remove the need for removable dentures as part of a longer term plan.
Stabilise A Restorative Plan
05
Implants can be used to stabilise a broader restorative strategy that accounts for remaining teeth and your bite.
Support Facial Appearance
06
Replacing missing tooth support can help manage facial appearance in some situations by restoring tooth positions and support.
Manage Failing Teeth
07
Full arch treatment can be planned alongside management of failing teeth and may include extractions where teeth cannot be predictably maintained.

What To Expect During Full Arch Implant Treatment
01
Comprehensive Assessment
A clinical examination, medical history review and discussion of your goals determine suitability and next steps, including whether implants are appropriate for your situation.
02
Records And Planning
X-rays, digital scans or 3D imaging may be taken to plan implant positions and the restorative design and to decide whether full arch dental implant treatment is appropriate for you.
03
Preparatory Care Where Needed
Stabilising gum disease, treating remaining teeth or planning grafting are managed before implant surgery if required, and extractions are only done where teeth cannot be predictably maintained.
04
Implant Placement
Implants are placed in the jawbone during a surgical procedure commonly carried out with local anaesthetic, and comfort measures are discussed beforehand.
05
Healing And Review
Healing and integration with bone are monitored; timing varies between patients and arches and may require additional steps before fitting a final restoration.
06
Final Restoration And Maintenance
The definitive bridge or overdenture is fitted when clinically appropriate and a maintenance schedule is agreed for professional reviews and cleaning.
Are Full Arch Dental Implants Right For You?
Suitability varies between patients and is not appropriate in every case. We assess gum health, remaining teeth, bone quantity and quality, your bite, medical history, medicines, smoking status and your ability to maintain hygiene when deciding whether full arch dental implants are suitable for you.
Remaining natural teeth are considered carefully and are not removed automatically; teeth that can be predictably maintained may be restored as part of a broader plan rather than being extracted to make way for implants.
Some patients will need preparatory care such as gum stabilisation, tooth treatment or bone grafting while others will require minimal preparation. Alternatives include conventional dentures, implant-retained removable dentures, restoring suitable teeth or a staged restorative plan. We discuss risks, benefits and realistic expectations so you can make an informed choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
The number needed varies with bone quality, bite and the planned restoration; there is no single number that suits everyone and your clinician will use diagnostic records to plan implant positions and explain how many implants the proposed restoration requires.
Bone grafting may be needed if there is insufficient bone to support implants, but it is not required in every case. The need for grafting is determined during assessment and planning and depends on your anatomy and goals.
Daily cleaning around and, where applicable, under the restoration using recommended brushes and interdental aids, together with regular professional hygiene care and reviews, helps maintain implant health. Your team will teach the specific techniques for your restoration.
Not necessarily. Remaining teeth are assessed individually and teeth that can be predictably maintained are often retained and restored where appropriate rather than removed automatically to accommodate implants.
Final prostheses are fitted only when healing and integration are clinically appropriate. Some plans include provisional restorations but same-day permanent fixed teeth are not guaranteed and depend on your individual treatment plan.
If an implant fails to integrate or a complication develops, the team will assess the cause and discuss options, which may include removing and replacing the implant, allowing additional healing time or pursuing alternative restorative approaches.
