CAUSES OF TOOTH LOSS
Teeth can be lost for a variety of reasons; therefore, it is essential to maintain good oral hygiene and visit the dentist regularly, ideally every six months. A significant reason for tooth loss is periodontal disease, where bacteria damage the bone levels, resulting in the loss of support around the tooth and causing it to become loose and eventually fall out. Periodontal disease is diagnosed by the dentist and is often something patients are completely unaware of.
TEETH DON’T LAST FOREVER
In an ideal world, we would love for our teeth to last a lifetime; however, this doesn’t always happen. It is very upsetting and traumatic when a patient loses all of their teeth. Patients often feel they have no other option than to have a denture. Thankfully, with the development of full arch implants, this is not the case. Patients can now have a permanent fixed solution allowing them to enjoy food, banish troubles with speech and enjoy a beautiful smile!
Why Choose Yor Dental for Full Arch Implants

Frequently Asked Questions about Full Arch Implants
Can anyone have full arch dental implants?
Not everyone is automatically a candidate for full arch dental implants, but many people are eligible after a clinical assessment. Ideal candidates are typically those who:
- Have lost most or all teeth in one or both arches
- Have good general and oral health
- Have sufficient bone in the jaw to support implants (or are suitable for bone grafting)
- Don’t smoke heavily or have uncontrolled medical conditions like diabetes that may affect healing
If you’ve been told you’re not suitable for traditional implants due to bone loss, options like zygomatic implants or bone grafting procedures may still make treatment possible. A full consultation, including scans and X-rays, is the best way to find out if full arch dental implants are right for you.
How long last does the dental implant process take?
This will vary according to how many full arch implants you are having and the health of your teeth and gums. On average, for a single dental implant, it will take about an hour to place the implant into your jawbone. A healing period of about 3-6 months is needed before we can attach the final bespoke crown. You will be given a temporary crown in the interim so that you do not have a gap in your mouth.
Does it hurt to have full arch implants?
During the procedure itself, you will be given a local anaesthetic so that you can not feel any pain. Many patients say that it feels less painful than having a tooth removed.
After the dental implant surgery and once the anaesthetic has worn off, your mouth may feel sore. You may want to eat soft foods for a couple of days, and you can take paracetamol to manage any pain. Most patients report that they are back to work and their daily routines within a day or two.
