Fixed Full-arch Dental Implants Ipswich<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

If you are missing most or all teeth, or struggling with loose dentures or failing teeth, full-arch dental implants often called All-on-4 or All-on-6 may be an option after a detailed dental assessment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

In this approach, we will carefully place four to six dental implants at strategic locations in each jaw to support a fixed bridge of replacement teeth that stays securely in place. In suitable cases, temporary teeth can be fitted on the day of surgery. This ensures that our, patients don\u2019t have to go without their teeth while the jaw continues to heal.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

What Are Full Arch Dental Implants (All-on-4 \/ All-on-6)?<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n
<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Full-arch dental implants are designed to replace <\/span>an entire upper or lower arch of teeth<\/b> using fewer implants than would be required to place one implant per tooth.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

All-on-4 Implants<\/strong> -All-on-4 typically uses four dental implants to support a full arch of fixed teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\ue052<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Two of the implants are usually placed vertically at the front of the jaw<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\ue052<\/span><\/span><\/div>

The other two implants are angled towards the back to better utilise the available jawbone.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

All-on-6 Implants - <\/b>All-on-6 uses six implants and may be recommended in more complex cases where extra support is needed<\/span>
<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The implants are placed into the jawbone and, over time, bond with the bone through a natural healing process called osseointegration. This creates a stable foundation for a fixed bridge made of acrylic or porcelain.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Unlike removable dentures, full-arch dental implants offer several key differences:<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\ue06c<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Fixed Teeth -<\/b><\/span>The replacement teeth are fixed in place and cannot be removed by the patient.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\uf111<\/span><\/span><\/div>

No Need for Adhesives - <\/b>Since the complete bridge remains firmly anchored by the implants, there is no need for adhesives to keep the teeth secure.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\uf469<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Permanently Fixed Teeth - <\/b>The All-on-4 or All-on-6 implant-supported bridges remain permanently fixed and cannot be removed by the patients. Instead, they can only be removed by the dental team when professional maintenance is needed.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Healing times and outcomes vary depending on bone quality, general health, and oral hygiene.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Who May Consider Full-Arch Implants?<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n
<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Full-arch dental implants are often explored by patients who:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\ue052<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Wear dentures that feel loose, move during function, or cause irritation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\ue052<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Have multiple failing, heavily restored, or damaged teeth<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\ue052<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Seek a <\/span>fixed alternative<\/b> to removable dentures.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

In some cases, this approach may be suitable even with <\/span>moderate bone loss. This is because angled<\/b> implant placement can sometimes reduce the need for existing bone density or bone grafting. However, suitability must always be confirmed following a full clinical assessment and appropriate imaging.<\/span><\/p>\n

Patients from Ipswich, Woodbridge, Kesgrave, Martlesham, Felixstowe, and across Suffolk regularly attend Allen House Dental to discuss whether full-arch dental implants may be an appropriate option for their individual needs.<\/span><\/p>\n
