An entire upper or lower arch of teeth, fixed to four - sometimes six - titanium implants. The implants are angled to work with the bone you already have, which in many cases avoids the need for bone grafting. Fixed in place. No removal, no adhesive, no plate covering the roof of your mouth. Suitability is determined following a comprehensive clinical assessment including 3D imaging."
A full set of fixed teeth made from a single piece of dental-grade ceramic. Shaped and colour-matched by hand to look natural — not like dentures. Permanently attached to your implants.
The connectors between your implants and your new teeth. They allow the implants to be placed at different angles in the jaw while keeping the final bridge sitting level and stable.
Small titanium posts placed directly into the jawbone — two at the front, two towards the back at an angle. Made by Nobel Biocare, one of the most clinically documented implant systems in the world.
The angled placement is designed to work with the bone you already have. In many cases this avoids the need for additional procedures before surgery. Whether any preparatory work is required is determined individually at your CBCT assessment.
A CBCT 3D scan, intra-oral scan, and full clinical photographs. Your treatment options, timeline, and a fixed itemised quote are confirmed before you leave. No obligation to proceed.
Implants are placed using a computer-generated surgical guide. Failing teeth are removed where required. Where clinically appropriate, a provisional fixed bridge is fitted on the day of surgery or the following day. Anaesthesia and sedation options are discussed and confirmed prior to surgery.
Implants fuse with the jawbone during this period — a biological process that takes several weeks. Patients follow a staged dietary protocol and attend scheduled review appointments. Return to normal activity varies between individuals.
Once your final teeth are ready, the provisional bridge is removed and your permanent ceramic prosthesis is fitted. Bite is refined over a second short visit. An ongoing aftercare schedule is confirmed at this appointment.
Not during surgery. Patients are sedated or under general anaesthetic throughout the procedure. Post-operatively, most patients experience discomfort, swelling, and bruising similar to a wisdom-tooth extraction. Pain management medication is provided and discomfort generally reduces significantly within the first week, though individual experience varies.
Dental implants have a well-established long-term track record. Longevity depends on individual factors including oral hygiene, overall health, bone condition, and adherence to follow-up care. The prosthesis (the fixed bridge) may require maintenance or replacement over time. Your clinician will discuss expected longevity as part of your treatment plan.
Treatment costs vary depending on the clinical complexity of your case. A full itemised quote is provided at your consultation. Finance options may be available, including payment plans. Some patients explore early access to superannuation on compassionate grounds — this is a financial and administrative matter and we recommend seeking independent financial advice.
Dental anxiety is common among patients considering full arch treatment. Sedation options are available, subject to clinical assessment. Support people are welcome at consultations. Your clinician will take time to answer all questions before any decision is made.
Age alone is not a determining factor. Clinical suitability is assessed on an individual basis, with bone health, overall health, and medical history being the key considerations. A CBCT scan and clinical examination will determine whether the procedure is appropriate for your specific circumstances.
As with any surgical procedure, implant treatment carries risks, including the possibility of implant failure. In the event that an implant does not integrate successfully, your clinician will discuss the options available to you. Risk factors specific to your situation are reviewed during your pre-treatment assessment.
