Overview

Full-arch implants are a sophisticated dental restoration solution designed to replace an entire arch of missing teeth using a series of strategically placed implants. Unlike simple implants, which typically address individual tooth replacements, full-arch implants offer a comprehensive approach for those who have lost most or all of their upper or lower teeth. This method involves installing multiple implants that support a complete set of replacement teeth, providing enhanced stability and functionality.

What Are Full-arch Implants Used To Treat?

Full-arch implants are used to treat complete edentulism (total tooth loss) in one or both arches. This approach offers greater stability and allows for a more secure and permanent solution, reducing the need for removable dentures and providing a more natural feel and function. Full-arch implants can restore both aesthetics and functionality, improving chewing, speaking, and overall oral health.

The Treatment Process

A typical treatment process for full-arch implants at Manningtree Dental and Implant Centre includes the following steps:

1.

Implant Consultation

Your dentist will conduct a thorough examination, including advanced imaging, to assess bone structure and plan the implant placement.

2.

Pre-Surgical Preparation

Any necessary preparatory procedures, such as bone grafting, will be performed to ensure a solid foundation for the implants.

3.

Implant Placement

During a surgical procedure, multiple implants are placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia. This process usually takes a few hours.

4.

Healing Period

Implants require several months to integrate with the jawbone (osseointegration). During this time, temporary teeth may be fitted.

5.

Prosthetic Placement

Once the implants have fully integrated, a custom-made full-arch prosthetic is attached to the implants, restoring function and appearance.

After the procedure, you may experience some swelling, discomfort, or bruising, which can be managed with prescribed medications and cold compresses. Adhering to good oral hygiene, avoiding hard or sticky foods, and attending follow-up appointments are crucial for successful healing and implant longevity.

Manningtree Dental - FAQ

FAQs

How do full-arch implants compare in cost to traditional dentures?

Full-arch implants are generally more expensive than traditional dentures due to the complexity of the procedure and the materials used. While the initial cost may be higher, full-arch implants offer long-term benefits such as improved durability, comfort, and function, potentially reducing the need for frequent replacements and adjustments. Considering their longevity and the quality of life they provide, many find them to be a worthwhile investment.

Can full-arch implants be placed immediately after tooth extraction?

In many cases, full-arch implants can be placed immediately after tooth extraction through a procedure known as immediate implant placement. This approach helps preserve bone structure and reduces the overall treatment time. However, this depends on factors such as the condition of the bone and gum health. Your dentist will assess your specific situation to determine if immediate placement is feasible.

How long does the recovery period last after full-arch implant surgery?

The initial recovery period after full-arch implant surgery typically lasts 1 to 2 weeks, during which you may experience swelling and discomfort. Full osseointegration, where the implants fuse with the jawbone, generally takes 3 to 6 months. During this time, temporary teeth or dentures may be used. Your dentist will monitor your progress and guide you through the recovery phase.

What happens if my full-arch implants fail or become loose?

Implant failure or looseness is uncommon but can occur. If you experience any issues with your full-arch implants, such as looseness or discomfort, contact your dentist promptly. Potential causes for such problems include infection, poor bone integration, or mechanical issues. Your dentist will assess the situation, provide necessary treatments or adjustments, and ensure the implants are properly secured.

Are there dietary restrictions with full-arch implants?

After receiving full-arch implants, you should initially avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods to prevent stress on the implants and aid healing. Soft foods and a balanced diet are recommended during the early recovery phase. As healing progresses and your dentist confirms the stability of the implants, you can gradually return to your normal diet, with ongoing advice on maintaining implant health.
