Full-Arch Dental Implants

Implants may replace a full arch of missing teeth with an implant-supported bridge. Dr Gregory Flint (BDS MBA PGDiploma CM CMgr FCMI MIC, GDC 79396) provides implant treatment at Buxton Dental.

What Are Full-Arch Implants?

Assessment considers your medical history, gum health, available bone and bite. X-rays and CBCT scanning are used when clinically appropriate, rather than routinely for everyone.

The All-on-4 approach uses four implants to support an arch in selected cases. Other plans may need more implants or grafting. Temporary fixed teeth are only possible when stability and clinical conditions allow.

The surgical stage places implants in the jawbone. Once healing and stability are satisfactory, the restorative stage fits the crown, bridge or denture, designed around your bite, appearance and cleaning access.

Discuss Full-Arch Treatment

Healing usually takes several months and varies with your health and any grafting. Risks include pain, swelling, infection, implant failure and injury to nearby structures; these are discussed for your case. Daily cleaning around the restoration and regular dental and hygiene reviews are essential. Implants can develop inflammation and bone loss, and crowns, bridges or attachments may need repair or replacement.
