Who may be suitable?

- Experiencing significant decay, gum disease or tooth failure
- Wearing dentures and dissatisfied with stability or comfort
- Told they are not suitable for conventional dentures
- Sufficient bone volume, or suitable for bone grafting
Benefits of full-arch implants
Secured to the jawbone – no movement, slipping or discomfort like traditional dentures.
Prosthesis closely replicates natural teeth and gums, restoring confidence in your smile.
Wider food range and clearer speech compared to removable dentures.
Implants stimulate the jaw and slow bone loss that naturally follows tooth loss.
Designed for durability with proper oral hygiene and regular dental care.
Treatment options at our clinic
Options depend on your clinical needs, bone volume and treatment goals.
The treatment process
Comprehensive assessment of oral health, bone volume, medical history and treatment goals with Dr Desmond Ng.
Digital X-rays and 3D cone beam CT scanning to map jawbone dimensions, density and anatomy for accurate implant planning.
A detailed treatment plan covering number of implants, prosthesis design and expected treatment timeline.
Implants surgically placed under local anaesthesia and sedation. Temporary prosthesis may be fitted same day where suitable.
Over several months, implants naturally fuse with surrounding bone – creating a stable long-term foundation.
Once healing and integration are confirmed, the final custom-made full-arch prosthesis is attached, completing your restoration.
Frequently asked questions
How many implants are needed for a full arch?
Most full-arch solutions use between four and six implants per arch, depending on bone volume, anatomy and the prosthesis type planned.
Can I eat normally with full-arch implants?
Yes – full-arch restorations restore a high level of chewing function. Most patients can return to a varied diet, with specific guidance provided during recovery.
How long does full-arch implant treatment take?
Timelines vary by case. A temporary prosthesis may be fitted on the day of surgery; the final prosthesis is typically fitted several months later following osseointegration.
Is full-arch implant treatment painful?
Treatment is carried out using local anaesthesia and appropriate sedation. Most patients report recovery is more manageable than anticipated.
How do I care for full-arch implants?
Regular brushing, specialised implant floss or interdental brushes, and routine check-ups are essential for maintaining implant and prosthesis health.
