Full Mouth Dental Implants Finchley | Restore Your Entire Smile

Full mouth implants, also called all on four or full arch restoration, are the right choice when most or all teeth in your upper or lower jaw are missing or beyond repair. This option suits you if you wear loose or uncomfortable dentures and want a fixed alternative that does not need removal. It also works well if advanced gum disease has led to tooth loss and bone deterioration. Many Finchley patients choose full mouth implants to invest in a long term solution that slows further bone loss and offers the function and feel of natural teeth. Success rates are strong, with studies showing over 90 to 95 percent of implants lasting more than 10 years with proper care.

For example, a 65 year old from Finchley had a loose lower denture that made eating difficult. A 3D scan showed enough bone, four implants were placed with a temporary bridge in one appointment, and after four months of healing the final zirconia bridge was fitted. He can now eat all his favorite foods without worry. In another case, a 48 year old faced the loss of all upper teeth from severe periodontal disease. We planned a phased approach with extractions followed by implants. This restored her smile and helped stop bone loss, preserving facial structure in the long term.

Right after surgery you may have swelling, bruising, and some discomfort for the first three to five days. Manage this with the prescribed pain relief and ice packs. A soft food diet is advised for the first two weeks to protect the healing area. Keep up with gentle yet thorough oral hygiene. Long term you should care for the bridge like natural teeth, with daily brushing, a water flosser, and regular hygiene visits. The teeth are fixed in place and do not come out at home. Red flags should prompt a call to the practice during office hours. If pain increases after day four, if you have a fever above 38C, or persistent bleeding, contact us. For true emergencies outside office hours, go to A and E or dial 111.

While full mouth implants offer the strongest stability and function, it helps to know your options. Removable full dentures are the most affordable option for replacing all teeth, but they rest on the gums, can become loose over time, affect taste and speech, and do not stop jawbone loss. Multiple single implants may work if you have several missing teeth but some healthy ones remain. This path can be more complex and costly than a full arch solution, yet it preserves healthy teeth. During your Finchley consultation we will discuss these alternatives to help you choose the best fit for your dental health and lifestyle.

Full mouth dental implants require a significant investment in long term health and quality of life. As a private treatment, prices in London typically start from £15,000 to £25,000 per arch. The final price depends on the complexity of your case, whether bone grafting is needed, and the material chosen for the final bridge such as zirconia or acrylic. We provide a detailed all inclusive quote after your initial consultation and 3D scan, with no hidden fees. Our practice is private and does not offer NHS services. We do accept patients with private dental insurance from providers like Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna. We can help you understand your coverage and payment options.

To make a wise choice, ask the right questions whether you meet us or another practice in Finchley. Here are key points to discuss: What is your experience with full mouth implant cases? Does the quoted price include the consultation, 3D scans, surgery, temporary bridge, and the final bridge? Are there separate fees for bone grafting or extractions if needed? What implant brand do you use and what is its long term success rate? What material do you recommend for the final bridge and why? What does aftercare and the warranty involve?
