§ Suitability

Is this the right procedure for you?

Full arch rehabilitation is the most significant implant procedure we offer. It is rarely the only option. We recommend it when most of these apply:

  • Most or all teeth in an arch are missing, failing, or structurally beyond saving
  • Advanced periodontal disease affecting multiple teeth
  • Dentures are loose, sore, or limiting what you eat
  • You want a fixed, permanent solution — not a better denture
  • You are in good general health and able to commit to the treatment timeline

If none of these apply, single implants or an implant-retained overdenture may be more appropriate. We will tell you at consultation — honestly, and in plain English.

§ The work

How the arch is built.

The procedure has five clinical stages. The surgery itself is carried out in a single session; the longer timeline exists to give your bone time to integrate the implants before the final prosthesis is fitted.

  • CBCT 3D scan and full clinical examination at consultation
  • Your case is planned in 3D before any surgery is agreed
  • Four to six implants placed, usually in a single surgical session
  • Provisional fixed teeth fitted the same day where clinically appropriate
  • Final zirconia prosthesis fitted once the bone has fully integrated
§ Materials

The material carries the result.

Zirconia ceramic is the strongest aesthetic material available for full-arch prosthetics. It holds colour indefinitely, resists staining, and integrates with soft tissue. There is no metal substructure, which means no metal show-through at the gum line — ever.

Framework Titanium alloy Implants and prosthesis screw connection. Biocompatible, osseointegrating, MRI-safe.
Prosthesis Monolithic zirconia Milled as a single block. Stronger than porcelain-on-metal. Colour-stable indefinitely.
Finish Layered ceramic Natural translucency at the incisal edge. Shade matched to the remaining arch or preference.
§ Aftercare

Looking after your new arch.

A fixed arch is easier to maintain than a set of dentures and harder to maintain than a natural dentition. We will walk you through the routine at the final fit and see you at three, six and twelve month reviews — all included in the fee.

  • Daily brushing with a standard toothbrush and interdental brush
  • Three-monthly professional hygiene visits for the first year, then six-monthly
  • Annual full examination including imaging of the implants
  • No adhesives, no soaking, no removing — it is not a denture
