The Process of Full Arch Dental Implant

Consultation

The journey towards full-arch dental implants typically begins with an initial consultation with a dentist. During this appointment, the patient's dental history, oral health status, and specific needs are assessed. This consultation also provides an opportunity for the patient to discuss any concerns or questions they may have about the procedure.

Evaluation

An evaluation may include X-rays, 3D scans, and impressions of the teeth and jawbone. These diagnostic tools help the dental team to determine the suitability of the patient for full arch dental implants and to create a personalised treatment plan.

Treatment Planning

Based on the findings from the evaluation, a detailed treatment plan is developed for the patient. This plan outlines the specific steps of the implant procedure, including the number of implants needed, the placement locations, any necessary bone grafting procedures, and the type of prosthetic teeth to be used.

Implant Surgery

During the surgery, dental implants made of titanium are surgically placed into the jawbone at strategic locations to support the full arch restoration. If bone grafting is required to support bone density, it may be performed concurrently with the implant surgery.

Healing Period

Post surgery, a healing period is required to allow the implants to integrate with the surrounding jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This typically takes several months, during which temporary prosthetic teeth may be worn to maintain aesthetics and function.

Final Restoration

Once the Full Arch implants are determined to be integrated with the jawbone and the healing process is complete, the final prosthetic teeth are fabricated and attached to the implants. These custom-made prosthetics are designed to possible mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, allowing the patient to chew, speak.
