Replace A Full Arch Of Teeth

What To Expect During Full Arch Implant Treatment
01
Comprehensive Assessment
A clinician reviews your oral health, gum condition, remaining teeth, bite, medical history and expectations to judge suitability.
02
Records And Planning
X-rays, digital scans and sometimes 3D imaging may be taken to plan implant positions and the restoration as part of careful dental implant treatment.
03
Preparatory Care If Needed
Preparatory care can include treating gum disease, removing teeth that cannot be retained or bone grafting when clinically required; not everyone needs a graft.
04
Implant Placement
Implants are placed surgically, usually with local anaesthetic; the number and position depend on your anatomy and the restorative plan.
05
Healing And Review
Implants require time to integrate with the jawbone and will be monitored; one or more implants can fail to integrate and prosthetic complications may occur, so we discuss how these situations are managed.
06
Final Restoration And Maintenance
When healing and clinical checks allow, the definitive bridge or overdenture is fitted and a maintenance schedule is agreed for long-term care.
Are Full Arch Dental Implants Right For You?
Suitability varies between patients and requires individual clinical assessment rather than assuming full arch treatment is right for everyone.
Full arch solutions may be considered when many teeth are missing, a whole arch has a poor prognosis, or conventional dentures cause significant problems, but this does not mean full arch implants are the best choice for everyone.
Any remaining teeth are assessed carefully and teeth that can reasonably be maintained are often preserved rather than removed solely to allow implants; the decision balances long-term oral health and function.
Factors such as gum health, bone quantity and quality, medical history, medicines, smoking, hygiene ability and personal expectations all influence whether full arch treatment is appropriate.
We will outline alternatives where they better match your needs, including retaining and restoring suitable teeth, conventional dentures, implant-retained removable dentures or staged restorative options, and your decision follows clear clinical assessment and discussion of risks, benefits and likely maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
The number of implants varies with each person’s anatomy and the chosen restorative design; your clinician will recommend a plan after assessing bone, bite and aesthetic requirements rather than applying a fixed number in every case.
Start Smiling Dental Practice is based in Ingatestone and welcomes patients from Shenfield High Street.
Cleaning often involves daily brushing, interdental cleaning and techniques to access under or around the restoration, together with regular professional hygiene visits and clinical reviews tailored to your restoration type.
Not necessarily; each remaining tooth is assessed and teeth that can be maintained are often preserved where this supports long-term oral health and function rather than being removed to make way for implants.
Final restorations are fitted only when healing and clinical conditions allow; some plans include provisional teeth, but immediate definitive teeth should not be assumed and are decided case by case.
If an implant fails to integrate or complications arise, the team will explain options such as removing or replacing the implant, additional treatment to manage infection or repairing components, and adapting the prosthesis as needed.
