A fixed set of teeth for an entire upper or lower jaw, supported on several implants.
What it involves
A full arch of replacement teeth is fixed onto four to six implants. A temporary bridge is usually fitted during the first trip, with the permanent one placed after healing. It is the most substantial dental treatment we coordinate and the one where planning matters most.
Who it suits
For people who have lost most or all of the teeth in a jaw, or whose remaining teeth cannot be saved. It needs sufficient bone volume, which a scan will establish before any plan is quoted.
Risks and things to consider
This is major dental surgery. Expect swelling, bruising and a soft-food diet for some weeks, and plan for time off work. Individual implants can fail and need replacing. The temporary bridge is less robust than the final one and can chip. Because the treatment spans two trips, a delay in healing can move your second date.
