Full arch dental implants in Dubai
A fixed set of teeth supported by four to six implants, for patients missing most or all of their teeth. Planned on 3D CT and placed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon with over 30 years in practice.
When a full arch solution makes sense
Full arch implants replace an entire upper or lower set of teeth. They are usually considered when individual teeth can no longer be saved, or when a removable denture is no longer working.
Most or all teeth are failing
Advanced decay or gum disease has left teeth that can’t be individually restored.
An existing denture won't stay put
Slipping, sore spots, adhesive that stops working, difficulty eating in company.
Bone loss has changed the fit
The jaw ridge shrinks after teeth are lost, so a denture that once fitted no longer does.
You want a fixed result
Teeth that stay in place and are cleaned in the mouth rather than taken out at night.
All-on-4, All-on-6, and implant-supported dentures
These names describe how many implants support the arch and whether the final teeth are fixed or removable. The right one depends on your bone volume, your bite and what you want day to day.
All-on-4
Four implants support a fixed bridge for the whole arch. The back implants are angled to use available bone, which often avoids grafting.
All-on-6
Six implants spread the load further. Considered where bone allows and where the bite demands more support.
Implant-supported denture
A denture that clips onto implants. Removable for cleaning, but far more stable than a conventional denture. Usually the lower-cost route.
Same day teeth, and what that actually means
In many full arch cases a temporary fixed bridge is fitted on the day of surgery, so you don’t leave without teeth. The final bridge comes later, once the implants have integrated with the bone. Same day refers to the temporary, not the finished result.
What happens on the day
- Implants placed under local anaesthetic, sedation available
- A fixed temporary bridge attached the same day in suitable cases
- You leave with teeth in place
- Soft diet while healing begins
What still takes time
- Implants need months to integrate with bone
- The final bridge is made after integration
- Not every case is suitable for immediate loading
- Bone grafting, where needed, extends the timeline
Considering the same-day route? Our surgeon has written a longer piece on where immediate loading works and where it doesn’t: Are same day dental implants reliable? The honest truth
From consultation to final bridge
01
Consultation and 3D CT
Full assessment, panoramic x-ray and 3D CT scan to measure bone volume and locate nerves and sinuses.
02
Digital planning
Implant positions planned digitally before surgery, with the final tooth position designed first.
03
Surgery and temporary
Any remaining teeth removed, implants placed, temporary fixed bridge fitted in suitable cases.
04
Healing reviews
Scheduled checks while the implants integrate. Adjustments to the temporary as needed.
05
Final bridge
Impressions or intraoral scan, then the definitive bridge is made and fitted.
How we plan the case before touching anything
3D CT scan
Bone height and width measured, nerve and sinus position mapped.
Intraoral scan
A digital model of your mouth, no impression trays.
Digital smile design
The final tooth position designed first, then implants planned to support it.
Surgical microscope
Used where magnification improves precision during the procedure.
Bone volume, and what happens if there isn't enough
Implants need bone to anchor into. After teeth have been missing for a while the ridge shrinks, so the CT scan is what determines the plan rather than an examination alone.
Angled placement
Tilting the rear implants uses the bone that is there, which in many cases avoids a graft entirely.
Bone grafting
Where volume is genuinely insufficient, bone is augmented first and the implants placed later.
Short implants
Shorter fixtures can suit reduced bone height in selected cases.
Uncontrolled diabetes, active gum infection, heavy smoking and some medications affect healing and implant success. These are discussed openly at the consultation, because they change the plan rather than simply rule you out.
Full arch implants and conventional dentures
| Fixed full arch implants | Implant-supported denture | Conventional denture | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stays in the mouth | Yes | Removed for cleaning | Removed daily |
| Held in place by | 4 to 6 implants | Implant attachments | Suction and adhesive |
| Covers the palate | No | Reduced | Usually yes |
| Effect on bone ridge | Implants help maintain bone | Implants help maintain bone | Ridge continues to resorb |
| Surgery required | Yes | Yes | No |
| Relative cost | Highest | Middle | Lowest |
Eating, speaking and cleaning
Eating
Soft diet during healing, then a far wider range of food than a conventional denture allows.
Speech
Most people adapt within days. A fixed upper bridge leaves the palate clear, which many find easier.
Cleaning
Brushing plus cleaning under the bridge with interdental brushes or a water flosser. We show you at the fit appointment.
Long term maintenance matters. Implants don’t decay, but the gum and bone around them can become inflamed if plaque is left, so regular hygiene reviews are part of the treatment rather than an add-on.

Frequently asked questions
The procedure is done under local anaesthetic and sedation is available. Discomfort and swelling in the days afterwards are managed with prescribed medication, and we review you during healing.
In suitable cases a fixed temporary bridge is fitted the same day. Whether your case is suitable is determined by the CT scan and the stability of the implants at placement.
Angled implant placement often uses the available bone without grafting. Where volume is genuinely insufficient, grafting is done first and implants placed afterwards.
Yes. Whether both are treated together or in stages depends on your case and is discussed at the planning appointment.
