Which Option Best Describes You?
Full Arch Solutions at Beyond Infinity Dental
Full arch dental implants offer a contemporary solution for replacing a complete row of teeth. In this treatment, four strategically placed dental implants support a dental bridge. This innovative approach serves as an effective alternative to conventional bridges and dentures, particularly for those with extensively damaged, decayed, or missing teeth.
Many patients favour full arch implants over traditional dentures due to their ease of maintenance and more natural functionality. Our experienced team at Beyond Infinity Dental is well-versed in a variety of dental implant methods, including the full arch treatment, ready to assist you in rejuvenating your smile.
The full arch system, a forward-thinking dental treatment, utilises four titanium implants to support an entire arch of teeth. This custom-designed arch effectively replaces a full row of teeth. Opting for this solution proves to be more economical than individual implants for each tooth and offers greater stability compared to traditional dentures. This innovative approach not only enhances oral functionality but also improves overall aesthetics.

The Full Arch Dental Implant Procedure
The full arch dental implant procedure is a comprehensive process, ensuring patients receive the highest standard of care and adequate healing time to minimise any potential complications. Here’s a typical outline of the treatment process:
Initial Dental Exam and Assessment
This first step involves a detailed dental examination to determine your suitability for the full arch procedure and to identify any concealed dental issues.
Addressing Dental Concerns
Prior to implantation, any existing dental problems are addressed and treated.
Detailed Planning for Implants
If you're deemed a suitable candidate for full arch dental implants, further data, such as 3D X-rays or scans, are collected. This information is crucial for crafting your implants and the full arch bridge.
Surgical Placement of Implant Posts
The implants are surgically embedded in your jawbone, followed by a healing period.
Securing the Bridge
After adequate healing and integration of the implants, you will return to have the dental bridge securely attached to the implants.
Given the uniqueness of each patient’s dental needs, your treatment may vary slightly. Our team is devoted to offering a customised experience, ensuring your continuous awareness and active participation in the entire process.
Am I Eligible for Full Arch Dental Implants?
Full arch dental implants are a superb option for individuals seeking to replace dentures or those who have lost most or all of their teeth in either the upper or lower jaw due to gum disease, severe decay, or trauma.
While many individuals desiring dental implants are suitable candidates, there are instances where full arch implants may not be advisable. Some of these situations include
Significant Jawbone Loss
An adequate jawbone is essential for implant support.
Heavy Smoking
This habit can impede the healing process and implant success.
Medications for Osteoporosis
Such medications might impact implant integration.
Previous Implant Failures
Patients with a history of unsuccessful implants may face additional considerations.
Systemic Diseases
Certain health conditions can affect the success of implants.
Severe Gum Disease
This needs to be addressed before implantation.
For those with jawbone loss, modern bone grafting techniques can be employed to augment the bone, making it suitable for implants. Similarly, if you have gum disease, we can provide treatment to prepare your mouth for full arch dental implants. The best course of action is to arrange an initial examination. If full arch implants are not an option for you, we will explore and suggest alternative solutions.

Are Full Arch Solutions permanent?
Yes, full arch dental implants are designed to be a long-lasting solution. Proper care and maintenance may make them last for many years, offering durability and improved oral functionality.
Is the full arch implant treatment painful?
The implant placement procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel severe pain during the surgery. Some discomfort or swelling may be experienced after the procedure, but this can be managed with prescribed pain relief and typically subsides within a few days.
Can I get full arch dental implants if I am a smoker?
Heavy smoking may impede the healing process and affect the performance of dental implants. If you are a smoker, our team will discuss the potential risks and may suggest smoking cessation to improve the likelihood of a successful outcome.
How long does the full arch dental implant process take?
The duration of the treatment changes based on individual cases. Typically, the process can take several months, including the healing time after the implant surgery. Our team will provide you with a personalised timeline during your consultation.
How do I care for full arch dental implants?
Caring for full arch dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are necessary for maintaining the health of your implants and surrounding gums. Our experienced and knowledgeable team will give you adequate care guidelines to ensure the longevity of your prosthetics.
How much do full arch dental implants cost?
If you’re seeking full arch solutions, Sydney is a good place to start. However, the cost varies depending on location and individual circumstances, such as the need for additional procedures like bone grafting. During your consultation, we will give you a detailed cost estimate and discuss payment options that cater to your budget.
How do I know if I need bone grafting before getting full arch dental implants?
During your initial consultation, our dental staff will conduct a thorough examination, including 3D X-rays or scans, to evaluate the density and volume of your jawbone. If it is determined that your jawbone is insufficient to support implants, bone grafting may be recommended to build up the bone before proceeding with the implant procedure.
What materials are used for the full arch dental implants and bridge?
The implants are typically made from titanium, a biocompatible material that integrates excellently with the jawbone. The bridge is usually crafted from high-quality porcelain or ceramic, designed to mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth.
Can I get full arch dental implants on my upper and lower jaws?
Yes, full arch dental implants can be placed on the upper and lower jaws. Depending on your specific needs, your skilled dentist may create a treatment plan that involves implant placement on both arches, restoring complete functionality and aesthetics to your smile.
What should I expect during the recovery period after getting full arch dental implants?
After the implant surgery, it’s normal to experience some swelling, discomfort, or minor bleeding. These symptoms typically subside within a few days. During recovery, which can last several months as the implants integrate with the jawbone, you must follow your aftercare instructions to ensure good healing.
How soon can I eat after the full arch dental implant procedure?
You can begin eating soft foods when the anaesthesia wears off, typically within a few hours after the procedure. However, avoid hard, crunchy, or chewy foods during the initial healing phase to prevent disturbing the implants. Our team will provide detailed dietary guidelines to follow during your recovery.
Will full arch dental implants affect my sense of taste?
No, full arch dental implants should not affect your sense of taste. Unlike traditional dentures, which can sometimes cover the roof of the mouth and impact taste, full arch implants leave your palate uncovered, allowing you to enjoy the full flavours of your food.
How often must I visit the dentist after getting full arch dental implants?
Regular dental check-ups are necessary for maintaining the health of your implants and oral health. The frequency may vary based on your needs. During these visits, a highly skilled dentist will assess the condition of your implants and provide professional cleaning to ensure their longevity.
