We are able to use dental implants to support full arch dental bridges, with up to ten teeth on only four dental implants, commonly known as an all-on-four procedure. We can also use fewer implants to retain a full denture on Locator abutments.
In certain instances, there may be no other option but to remove all the remaining teeth and do a complete rehabilitation using dental implants to either support the teeth or retain the teeth. Multiple dental implants are placed in the remaining bone volume, and a full arch restoration is constructed to replace the missing teeth. If you have several or all your teeth missing, then the most effective solution dentistry can currently offer is dental implants. It is not necessary to replace every single tooth with a dental implant. The very nature of the implant allows us to use a smaller number of implants to replace several teeth. Current evidence shows up to 97% success rates over a period of 17 years. These figures assume that all the necessary standards and due diligence are followed when the procedures are done.
Having a dental implant placed is a precise procedure that follows strict protocols to ensure the best outcome. Before starting treatment, your dentist will carry out a full assessment. This includes reviewing your medical and dental history, examining your mouth, and taking X-rays and sometimes a CT scan to check the quality and amount of bone available.
Once this stage is complete, your dentist will discuss all suitable treatment options with you, including any additional procedures that may be needed, such as bone grafting. The risks, benefits, and full costs will be explained, and you’ll be given a detailed treatment plan and consent form to review before moving forward.
The implant surgery is usually performed under local anaesthetic, with the option of conscious sedation if you would like extra support. The procedure is carried out under sterile, hospital-style conditions to maintain the highest standards of safety. To help with healing and comfort, you will be prescribed medication such as antibiotics, pain relief, and anti-inflammatories. After your procedure, you’ll also receive a care pack with instructions, mouthwash, and any additional medication you need to support a smooth recovery.

Learn MoreThank you to Antonio and the team at IQ Dental. My dental implants look amazing, and the care, kindness and professionalism shown were exemplary. You’re all amazing. Thank you.
Not a big fan of the dentist – but Fabrizio was amazing. I had an extraction, literally no pain. It made the whole experience calming. Couldn’t recommend these guys enough.
I care about my dental health very much. IQ Dental is one of the best dental practices I have used. I have been to Harley Street and Wimpole Street, London dentists, but IQ Dental truly surpasses them all! Thank you, IQ Dental.
I have been going to this dental practice for quite a few years now, with a gap post-COVID where I tried a different, slightly more local one. Suffice to say, I returned pretty quickly to IQ Dental, where you walk in and feel like you’re in a comforting, holistic clinic rather than a dentist’s waiting room! The service is consistently outstanding, from the welcome you receive from the lovely receptionists to the superb skills of the dentists and hygienists, particularly Antonio, who is amazing. I have recently had a dental implant, all carried out by Antonio and would not hesitate to recommend him. A thorough and highly skilled dentist who makes sure everything is done to the highest standards, with outstanding care and attention. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.
