Losing multiple teeth in one go can significantly impact your confidence, but will also make it difficult for you to bite, chew, and speak comfortably. If tooth loss is impacting your day-to-day life, and keeping you from enjoying mealtimes with your family and friends, then don’t settle for removable options. Instead, address the root of the problem (quite literally) with full arch dental implants.
Of all the restorative treatments that we offer here at Dentalia, full arch implants stand out as the go-to solution to extensive tooth loss. They provide a stable, fixed base that restores the full function of your teeth, so get ready to feed your smile with the life-changing benefits of full arch dental implants.
How full arch dental implants work
Full arch implants don’t just replace missing teeth. They completely restore them, right down to the root, with a custom-made system that supports several teeth in one go.
Whilst other solutions require sticky adhesives, and single implants require a full post, abutment, and crown for each missing tooth, full arch implants use just four or six implants to anchor an entire set, or ‘arch’. First, these titanium posts are implanted into the jaw at strategic angles that allow the system to utilise the dense bone at the front of the jaw and eliminate the need for invasive bone grafting. The posts then act as artificial tooth roots and become a stable base for the custom crowns that are designed to match your natural teeth and restore your full smile.
This permanent, non-removable system offers exceptional stability and won’t slip, click, or become dislodged, even after years of use. This means you can look forward to doing your weekly food shop without having to consider missing teeth or loose dental appliances.
Eating with full arch dental implants
It is an unfortunate fact that the very foods that support oral health are the most difficult to eat when you have missing teeth. With a full arch fixed securely in your jaw, your eating abilities are significantly restored, meaning that you can enjoy the following tooth-friendly foods without worry:
- Cheese: A great source of calcium and phosphorus, both of which will protect and strengthen enamel.
- Apples: Help to scrub away plaque and clean teeth naturally.
- Carrots: Rich in Vitamin C and high in fibre for a healthy smile.
- Peppers: Packed with antioxidants and plenty of crunch to help stimulate saliva production.
- Nuts: Walnuts, almonds, and cashews in particular help to remineralise enamel.
- Lean proteins: Provide plenty of Vitamin D for strong teeth and also help to reduce gum inflammation.
Whilst these are the recommended foods for a brighter, stronger smile, with your new full arch implants, you will be able to enjoy all your favourite meals without any discomfort or restrictions.
The benefits of full arch implants
Before making any decisions, why not find out more about all the ways these dental implants will change your life?
Natural appearance: Full implants restore the smile that you have lost with natural-looking crowns that match the size, shape and colour of your teeth.
Prevent bone loss: They preserve the jawbone by providing support that prevents bone loss and maintains the structure of your entire jaw.
Protect your teeth: The surrounding teeth are no longer at risk of shifting into the gap left by your missing teeth, or taking the strain on behalf of removable solutions.
Minimally invasive: With fewer implants required, and no need for bone grafting, full implants are considered less invasive than other treatments.
Long-term stability: The titanium implants will not shift or deteriorate and will provide a strong smile that will last for many years.
