Full mouth dental implants

The price of full mouth dental implants varies based on the type of bridge being used and whether you have bone loss that needs treatment or circumvention.

Traditional full mouth dental implants use a minimum of 4 dental implants to secure an arch of 10 to 14 teeth. The most affordable treatment costs £13,995, using acrylic dentures that connect to 2 implants each. This allows the dentures to be snapped on and off as required.

Premium full mouth dental implants cost £21,995. These are made from zirconia, a ceramic coated metal bridge that is hand painted to look just like natural teeth and gums, lasting many years with care.

Not usually. Local anaesthetic, plus sedation where clinically suitable, makes getting full mouth dental implants a more comfortable experience. You remain awake and able to respond to the dentist while remaining relaxed. This helps streamline the procedure.

Types of sedation include:

• Local anaesthetic: A small injection that numbs the pain in a specific area
• IV sedation: Administered through a cannula, this allows the anaesthetist to carefully regulate maximum pain management

Full mouth dental implants replace all of the teeth on your upper and lower jaw with prosthetic bridges containing replacement teeth.

A titanium screwlike post is inserted into the jawbone replacing a natural tooth root. An abutment is added to secure the bridge.

Full mouth implant procedures use a minimum of 4 dental implants on each jaw to provide a safe, secure smile.

As with any unregulated overseas treatment, you can achieve significant savings on full mouth dental implants from clinics in Turkey. A typical treatment costs between £3,000 and £8,000[1]. This does however come with some risks.

A BBC documentary on Turkey teeth highlighted the risks of having treatment outside of the UK, finding that over 40% of dentists recommended unnecessary procedures, with some dentists swapping one treatment for another, more invasive one, without the patient knowing.

The value of dental implant treatments are in the outcomes experienced by our patients. Many arrive hoping to be able to enjoy their favourite foods once again and leave with the ability to bite and chew steaks, corn on the cob, strawberries and other foods prohibited before. Others suffer from pain caused by failing teeth, leaving with a new confident smile. If your teeth are holding you back and impacting your lifestyle only you can decide if the cost is worth the result.

Yes. Full mouth dental implant treatments take around 7 hours with comfort breaks for you and the team in-between. This gives you fitted implants and a temporary bridge so you can smile confidently while recovering. Then once healed, pop back in to have your final custom-made bridges installed for your new permanent smile.

If your dentist has recommended dentures then you will likely be eligible for full mouth dental implants.

If you're enquiring independently of a dentist then book your consultation to identify your eligibility. We provide full CBCT scans, X-rays and digital imaging to identify any unforeseen issues before working with you to build a custom treatment plan designed to deliver the result you want at a budget you can afford.

If you have bone loss, gum disease or other illnesses there is likely a work around. From sinus lifts, bone grafts, pterygoid and zygomatic implants that treat or work around bone loss, to gum grafts, hygiene appointments and antibiotics to treat gum disease and gingivitis, we can help you reclaim your lost smile.

1. You are sedated to make you comfortable
2. Teeth are removed
3. An incision is made through the gum
4. Implants are fused with your jawbone
5. Abutments added on top of the implant
6. Gums stitched back together
7. Temporary bridges of teeth attached to the abutments

It takes around 3-4 months for the implants to fully fuse with your jawbone and for your gums to heal. Once done, you will be rescanned, and your new permanent bridges fit.

Full mouth dental implants last many years with care. A study indexed by the US National Library of Medicine found that 80% to 92% of patients had viable implants after 20 years of use. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39305362/

The main procedure takes approximately 7 hours including comfort breaks, giving you a new smile the same day. The total treatment time is 3-4 months allowing for healing and osseointegration before your final bridges can be created and fit.

If you are transparent about any health issues and medication, then studies suggest the risk of implant failure is very low (between 2% - 3.2% after 10 years according to https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11856851/).

An implant procedure uses several different components:

1. Grade 5 titanium implant fused to the jawbone
2. Abutment that passes through the gum
3. Porcelain crown, bridge or denture that fits over the gum containing your new teeth
4. Implant screw that fixes the crown or bridge in place

To care for your new dental implants you should:

1. Have stopped smoking. This prevents gum disease and decreases the risk of implant failure
2. Brush the crown, bridge or denture using a soft toothbrush twice a day
3. Brush where the crown, bridge or denture meets your gum twice a day
4. Use a water flosser to clean along the gumline and in between the teeth twice a day
5. Avoid food and drink known to stain your new teeth
6. Rinse your mouth with water while eating
7. Report any issues to your dentist

Cleaning your implants really means cleaning the crowns, bridges or dentures that are visible.

1. Use a soft bristled toothbrush to clean each tooth and along the gumline
2. Use a non abrasive toothpaste that promotes good gum health
3. Use a water flosser to clean debris from between the teeth and along the gumline

Please note that crowns, bridges and dentures cannot be whitened.

The best implant treatments offered by Yorkshire Dental Suite use a zirconia bridge attached to the implant. Each bridge is tailor made for each customer using a hand painted ceramic coated metal arch. This ensures you have a natural looking, long lasting smile, a well constructed bite that provides the ability to speak, eat and chew normally.

Implants look like thick metal screws inserted into your jawbone, and are hidden from view beneath your gum. Abutments look like metal tubes poking out from your gums. These are used to secure your crown, bridge or denture to the implant. Crowns, bridges and dentures look just like natural teeth and are designed to fit over your gum giving a seamless smile. To see the edge of your bridge you will need to pull your lips outwards to be able to see the join.

Most dental implants are not removable and are fixed in place. This prevents them from moving and gives you a durable bite and chew. The exception are denture implants which can be snapped on and off using a press stud-like button. This obviously impacts the durability of your bite, but comes with the benefit of making them easy to clean like standard dentures.
