Full mouth dental implants involve replacing all the teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, or both, with a full set of implant-supported teeth. This advanced procedure is designed to restore the entire arch of teeth using strategically placed dental implants that serve as the foundation for a new set of teeth.
The procedure typically involves:
Unlike traditional dentures, full mouth dental implants offer a permanent solution that does not shift or slip, providing superior comfort and functionality.
Making the decision to have full mouth dental implants comes with a variety of benefits, making it a preferred choice for those seeking to restore an entire arch of teeth:
Complete Restoration of Functionality
Full mouth implants allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. The implants provide a stable and secure foundation for your new teeth, allowing you to enjoy a wide range of foods without worry.
Long-Term Durability
With proper care, full mouth dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective solution over time. Unlike traditional dentures, which may need to be replaced or adjusted, implants are designed to be a permanent solution.
Preservation of Jawbone Structure
When teeth are lost, the jawbone can begin to deteriorate due to lack of stimulation. Full mouth implants stimulate the bone just like natural tooth roots, helping to preserve the bone and maintain your facial structure.
Natural Appearance
The full arch prosthesis is custom-made to match the shape, size, and colour of your natural teeth, ensuring that your new smile looks completely natural. Patients often report that their implants feel so natural that they forget they have them.
Improved Oral Health
Full mouth dental implants do not require the alteration of healthy teeth, as is sometimes necessary with traditional bridges. This means that your remaining natural teeth are preserved, contributing to better overall oral health.
At Purley Dental Care, we ensure that the full mouth dental implant procedure is carefully planned and executed for the best possible results. Here’s what you can expect:
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation with our implant specialist. During this visit, we will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth, including X-rays or a CT scan, to assess the condition of your jawbone and work out the best treatment plan for you. We’ll discuss your goals and expectations, and answer any questions you may have.
If you are a suitable candidate, the next step is the surgical placement of the implant posts. Depending on your specific needs, four to six implants are typically placed in each arch to support the full set of replacement teeth. This procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, and our team will ensure your comfort throughout.
After the implants are placed, there will be a healing period of several months, during which the implants will integrate with the jawbone (osseointegration). Temporary teeth may be provided during this period, so you can continue to eat and speak comfortably.
Once the implants have fully integrated with your jawbone, the abutments are attached to the implant posts. These abutments will serve as the connectors for the full arch prosthesis. Finally, the custom-made full arch prosthesis is securely attached, completing the restoration and giving you a new, fully functional smile.
The entire process is tailored to your needs, and our team will support you every step of the way to ensure a smooth and successful outcome.
Most adults who are missing multiple teeth or an entire arch, and who have sufficient jawbone density, are suitable for full mouth dental implants. Ideal candidates are those who:

The entire process, from consultation to the final placement of the full arch prosthesis, typically takes several months, including time for healing and osseointegration.
Local anaesthesia is used for this procedure, so you should not experience pain during the implant placement. Some discomfort may occur after the surgery, but this can usually be managed with pain relief medications.
Caring for full mouth implants is much the same as caring for natural teeth. Keep brushing, flossing, and having dental checkups regularly to maintain your implants and overall oral health.
If you lack sufficient jawbone density, bone grafting procedures may be recommended to build up the bone, allowing for the placement of implants. This will be discussed during your consultation.
