Missing teeth can impact your confidence, speech, and ability to enjoy your favourite foods. At Innova Dental, we work in all on 4 dental implants, an advanced, permanent solution designed to restore your smile with stability, comfort, and long-term success.
Full arch implants are securely anchored into the jawbone, offering a fixed, natural-looking alternative that feels just like real teeth. A well-managed recovery ensures optimal results and a quicker return to daily activities like eating, speaking, and maintaining oral hygiene through proper brush and floss techniques.
Full arch implants are strategically placed titanium posts, typically ranging from 4 to 6 implants, that are directly anchored into the jawbone. These posts serve as a sturdy foundation for a complete set of prosthetic teeth.
Full arch implants are different from removable dentures. Dentures sit on the gums and need adhesives to stay put. In contrast, full arch implants offer a fixed solution. This means no more worries about slipping or discomfort while eating or speaking.
The journey towards achieving a beautiful smile with full arch dental implants involves several key steps:
Say goodbye to dietary restrictions and hello to enjoying your favorite foods again!
Full arch dental implants empower patients with renewed confidence when it comes to eating, speaking, and smiling. No longer will you have to hide behind closed lips or feel self-conscious about missing teeth.

The healing phase after full arch implant surgery follows a predictable pattern, with distinct stages marking your progress towards a fully restored smile. Understanding these stages helps set realistic expectations for your recovery journey.
The first 24-48 hours after implant placement represent the most intensive recovery period. During this time, you'll experience:
Your surgical site requires careful attention during this critical phase. We provide specific pain medication to manage your comfort levels effectively. Many patients report the experience as less uncomfortable than anticipated, thanks to modern surgical techniques and proper pain management protocols.
The initial healing phase sets the foundation for successful implant integration. Your body begins forming new blood vessels around the implant sites, starting the process of osseointegration where the implants fuse with your jawbone.
Your recovery progress depends significantly on following post-operative care instructions. Regular monitoring of your surgical site helps identify any potential complications early, ensuring optimal healing conditions for your new implants.
The first 48 hours after surgery require dedicated rest to support your healing process. Stay in bed with your head elevated using extra pillows to minimise swelling.
Avoid hard, crunchy, or chewy foods that could disturb the surgical site. Steer clear of hot drinks and spicy foods that might irritate the area.
Your body needs energy to heal - limit daily activities to light tasks. Bending, stretching, or any movements that increase blood flow to your head can interfere with proper healing and cause discomfort at the implant sites.
Remember to take prescribed medications at the specified times, even if pain levels feel manageable. This proactive approach helps maintain comfort and supports optimal healing.
Recovery time for full arch implants varies from person to person based on several key factors:
Bone density plays a crucial role in the success of dental implants. Patients with insufficient bone density might need a bone grafting procedure before implant placement. This additional step can extend the recovery timeline by 3-6 months while the grafted bone integrates with existing tissue.
The number of teeth extracted during surgery impacts healing time. Multiple extractions create more surgical sites, requiring additional time for complete tissue recovery. Your dentist will assess these factors during initial consultations to provide a personalised recovery timeline for your new set of teeth.
Proper post-operative care is essential for the long-term success of your full arch implants. Following your dentist’s advice carefully will promote healing, reduce the risk of complications, and ensure the best results.
At Innova Dental, we provide a structured follow-up plan to monitor healing and ensure your implants remain in top condition.
