Full Arch Dental Implants

Full Arch Dental Implants in Orpington

A Fixed Solution for Replacing a Full Arch of Missing Teeth

Missing most or all of the teeth in your upper or lower jaw can affect everyday activities such as eating, speaking and smiling. Full arch dental implants provide a secure method of supporting a complete set of replacement teeth using strategically placed dental implants.

Personalised Implant Care

No two implant cases are the same.
Some patients require preparatory treatment before implants can be placed, while others are suitable for treatment without additional procedures. We'll explain every stage of your care and ensure you understand the available options before treatment begins.

What Are Full Arch Dental Implants?

Full arch dental implants are designed for patients who need to replace all or most of the teeth in one jaw.

Rather than replacing each missing tooth with an individual implant, a carefully planned number of implants are placed within the jaw to support a full arch restoration.

Depending on your clinical needs and treatment plan, this approach may involve techniques commonly referred to as All-on-4®, All-on-6® or similar implant concepts. We’ll explain which option, if any, is appropriate for your individual circumstances.

A veneer consultation is important because veneers are not simply a cosmetic add-on. The dentist needs to check the health of the teeth and gums, how the teeth bite together, how much enamel is available and whether the requested change can be achieved in a way that is stable and maintainable.

Who May Be Suitable?

You may wish to consider full arch implant treatment if you:

  • Have lost most or all of your teeth in one jaw.
  • Wear a full denture but would prefer increased stability.
  • Want a fixed alternative to conventional dentures where clinically appropriate.
  • Have multiple failing teeth that cannot be predictably restored.
  • Are looking for a long-term tooth replacement solution.

Every patient requires a comprehensive assessment before treatment recommendations are made.

Planning Your Treatment

Successful full arch implant treatment begins with detailed planning.

Your consultation may include:

  • A comprehensive oral examination.
  • Assessment of your gums.
  • Review of your medical and dental history.
  • Diagnostic imaging where appropriate.
  • Discussion of your expectations and treatment goals.

This information allows us to determine whether full arch implant treatment is suitable and to develop a personalised treatment plan.

Steps

The Full Arch Dental Implants Process

1
Consultation and Comprehensive Assessment

We’ll examine your oral health, discuss your treatment goals and assess whether full arch dental implants are suitable for your needs. Diagnostic imaging may be recommended to help plan your treatment.

2
Personalised Implant Placement

A carefully planned number of dental implants are placed into the jawbone to provide a stable foundation for your new full arch restoration. The exact approach will depend on your individual treatment plan.

3
Healing and Implant Integration

The implants are allowed time to integrate with the surrounding jawbone, creating a secure base for your replacement teeth. We’ll monitor your healing and arrange review appointments as needed.

4
Fitting Your Full Arch Restoration

Once the implants have healed, your custom-made full arch restoration is securely attached, helping to restore your smile, bite and everyday function.

FAQ

Frequently Ask Questions

How many implants are used to support a full arch of teeth?

The number of implants varies depending on your individual treatment plan, jawbone condition and the type of restoration being provided. We’ll explain the recommended approach during your consultation.

Yes. Full arch implant treatment is designed to support a complete arch of replacement teeth using strategically placed dental implants where clinically appropriate.
