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.
Restoring A Whole Upper Or Lower Dental Arch
Full arch dental implants near Upminster can provide a predictable way to replace a complete upper or lower set of teeth when many teeth are missing or have a poor prognosis. In full arch treatment, multiple dental implants are placed in the jawbone to support replacement teeth across a full upper or lower arch. The planned restoration may be a fixed implant-supported bridge or an implant-retained removable overdenture, depending on your anatomy, preferences and clinical findings. Before any recommendation we review your gums, remaining teeth, bone, bite and wider medical history so you can make an informed decision.

Comprehensive Assessment
A full assessment records your medical history, oral health status and treatment expectations to guide planning.

Detailed Imaging And Records
We may take X-rays or 3D scans and describe planning and options on our dental implant treatment information to plan implant positions and the restoration.

Preparatory Care
If needed we treat gum disease, remove irreparable teeth or consider bone augmentation before implants are placed.

Implant Placement
Implant placement is a surgical procedure commonly carried out under local anaesthesia with arrangements for patient comfort and monitoring.

Final Restoration And Maintenance
Final restorations are fitted when clinically suitable and you will be given a maintenance plan including hygiene visits and checks.
Are Full Arch Dental Implants Right For You?
Suitability varies between patients and requires an individual clinical assessment of remaining teeth, gum health, bone quantity and quality, bite and general health.
We will consider medicines, lifestyle factors such as smoking, and whether some remaining teeth can reasonably be preserved and restored rather than replaced.
We will explain risks, benefits, likely alternatives such as conventional dentures or implant-retained removable options, and the maintenance needs so you understand the implications before deciding.

Frequently Asked Questions
There is no single number that fits every case; the number, position and type of implants depend on your jaw anatomy, bone quality and the chosen restorative design and will be planned during assessment.
Bone grafting may be recommended if there is insufficient bone to support implants in the planned positions, but not everyone requires augmentation and this is determined from clinical examination and imaging.
Cleaning depends on whether your restoration is fixed or removable; it usually involves daily cleaning beneath and around the prosthesis and regular professional hygiene visits with personalised instructions.
Not automatically; each remaining tooth is assessed individually and teeth that can reasonably be preserved and restored will usually be retained when appropriate.
Final restorations are fitted when healing and integration permit and when it suits the restorative plan; some plans include provisional teeth but immediate final fixed restorations are not promised without confirming clinical suitability.
If an implant fails to integrate or a complication arises, the team will assess the cause and discuss options such as removing the implant, treating infection, re-planning placement or considering alternative restorations.
