Crowborough GentleDental Practice
Crowborough GentleA full arch of implant-anchored teeth, secured to titanium posts that fuse to your jaw. Nothing to soak overnight. Nothing that slips when you laugh. After a consultation to plan your treatment, you leave your surgery appointment wearing a full, fixed smile.
Loose dentures aren't a one-time inconvenience — they're a daily negotiation. If any of this sounds familiar, a fixed full arch removes the negotiation entirely.
Re-applying paste mid-day just to keep a plate from sliding.
A plate that presses the same rubbed patch of gum, day after day.
Holding back at dinner because a loose plate might shift or slip.
Corn on the cob, steak, apples — foods you've stopped ordering.
Full-arch implants replace the whole arch on 4–6 titanium posts anchored in your jaw. The difference shows up in what you can eat, how you speak, and what happens to your jawbone over time.
Your consultation and 3D scan happen on their own visit, so your treatment is fully planned before any surgery is booked. On surgery day itself, you leave wearing a full, fixed provisional arch — no gap, no waiting for a temporary. Your final custom ceramic arch is fitted after your jaw fully heals, typically 4–6 months later.
A CT scan maps your jawbone and nerves so implant positions are planned in detail before your surgery day is booked.
Remaining teeth are removed if needed, and 4–6 titanium posts are placed per arch under sedation.
A full, fixed set of temporary teeth is secured to the implants — you leave that same appointment with a fixed smile.
Once healing is complete, your provisional arch is replaced with your final, custom-made ceramic teeth.
Full-arch implants replace what's left of a failing, worn smile with a permanent, fixed set of teeth — placed and functional from the day of surgery.
"I forgot I had implants within a week. That's the whole point — I stopped thinking about my teeth for the first time in a decade."
"I ate corn on the cob at a barbecue for the first time in six years. Nobody at the table understood why I was emotional about it."
"The team walked me through everything at my consultation, so surgery day itself held no surprises. I left that appointment with fixed teeth for the first time in years."
No — your first visit is a consultation and 3D scan, so your treatment can be planned properly before anything is booked. Surgery takes place at a separate appointment, and it's on that surgery day that you leave with a full, fixed provisional arch.
Placement is done under local anesthesia or sedation, so you won't feel the procedure. Most patients describe the recovery as milder than a tooth extraction, managed with standard pain medication for a few days.
Full-arch implants are specifically designed for this. Whether you're fully edentulous, wearing a failing denture, or facing multiple extractions, the 3D scan at your consult determines your bone density and the right implant plan.
The titanium posts are designed to last decades, often a lifetime, with normal brushing and checkups. The prosthetic arch on top typically lasts 10–15+ years before it may need refreshing.
Cost depends on how many implants you need per arch and whether extractions are involved. We'll give you an exact number after your scan, and offer in-house financing plans at your consultation.
You wear your fixed provisional arch as your everyday teeth while your jaw heals around the implants, usually 4–6 months. Then we take impressions for your final custom ceramic arch.
A no-obligation consultation includes a full 3D scan and a straight answer on whether full-arch implants suit your jaw — with your surgery day booked separately once you're ready.
