Implant Placement
Implant placement is a surgical procedure commonly carried out under local anaesthetic with careful surgical planning to position implants to support the chosen restoration.
05
Healing And Review
Healing and review stages monitor integration of implants with the jawbone and address any issues as they arise; timing varies between patients.
06
Final Restoration And Maintenance
A definitive bridge or removable overdenture is fitted when clinically appropriate and ongoing maintenance is agreed.
Are Full Arch Dental Implants Right For You?
Suitability varies between patients and requires an individual clinical assessment. We will examine your remaining teeth, gums, bone volume, bite and general health before recommending whether a full-arch restoration is an appropriate route. Teeth that can reasonably be preserved and restored may be kept as part of a mixed plan rather than removed automatically.
Certain factors affect risk and outcomes, including smoking, active gum disease, some medical conditions, medicines and oral hygiene. We discuss risks, benefits and alternatives openly, including conventional dentures, implant-retained removable options, partial restorations or retaining and restoring suitable teeth so you can make an informed choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
The number of implants varies with the chosen restorative design and your jaw anatomy; a clinician will determine implant positions and quantity during planning, so an exact figure is given only after assessment and diagnostic imaging.
Bone grafting may be recommended when there is insufficient bone to support implants, but it is not required in every case. The need for grafting is assessed using clinical examination and imaging, and alternatives are discussed.
Cleaning depends on the restoration type and will be taught by the team; maintenance usually includes daily home care around and beneath restorations, regular professional hygiene visits and periodic implant reviews to check components and tissue health.
Not necessarily; teeth that can reasonably be preserved and restored may be retained as part of a mixed plan. Tooth removal is considered only after discussing prognosis, function and your treatment goals during assessment.
Final restorations are fitted only when it is clinically appropriate. Some patients receive provisional teeth in the short term, but timing of definitive restorations depends on healing, integration and the chosen restorative design.
If an implant fails to integrate or a prosthetic complication occurs, the team will assess the cause and recommend management, which may include removal, further treatment or alternative restorative options; these scenarios are discussed before treatment.
