Full-Arch Dental Implants Cheltenham: What to Expect and Why Patients Love the Results

Could a single day change how you smile, speak, and eat? For many people in Cheltenham, the answer is yes. Full-arch dental implants, often called Smile in a Day, can give you fixed teeth and renewed confidence with planning that feels calm and precise.

From your relaxing lounge welcome to your final smile, our AI-assisted planning and guided placement are designed for accuracy, comfort, and a natural look.

Full-arch dental implants replace all teeth on your upper or lower jaw with a fixed bridge. A small number of precision-made titanium posts act like new roots, creating a secure foundation for your new teeth.

You may hear All-on-4 or All-on-6. These terms describe how many implants are used and the angles that support your bridge. Your plan is always bespoke and created after a detailed assessment.

You may be suitable if you:

• Have multiple missing, failing, or heavily restored teeth in one arch, upper or lower

• Want a fixed, stable alternative to dentures

• Would like stronger chewing and clear speech

• Have healthy gums and enough bone, or are open to bone augmentation if needed

• Are in good general health and can maintain excellent oral hygiene

We confirm suitability at a calm, thorough consultation in Cheltenham. Intraoral scanning, CBCT 3D imaging, and a careful clinical review help us plan with clarity. If you have been told you have limited bone, there are often options. Modern planning and bone grafting, when appropriate, can make treatment possible.

Smile in a Day means your bespoke temporary bridge is fitted on the same day as your implant placement. You leave with fixed teeth while your implants integrate. Your final bridge is fitted once healing is complete.

Your Steps Typically Include:

1) Consultation and digital planning

We begin with a relaxed conversation to understand what matters most to you, comfort, speed, aesthetics, or all three.

Intraoral scanning and CBCT 3D imaging map your bone, nerves, and bite for accurate planning.

AI-assisted smile previews help you visualise aesthetic directions. We will always explain what is realistic for you.

This digitally led approach supports precision, comfort, and clear expectations from day one.

2) Guided implant placement and immediate temporary bridge

Using a computer-generated guide, we place your implants at pre-planned positions and angles to protect surrounding tissues.

Before you leave, we fit a custom temporary full-arch bridge. You can smile and function right away.

A softer diet is advised at first, which supports comfortable healing.

3) Healing and integration

Over the next few months, the implant naturally bonds with your bone.

You will see us regularly to review comfort, gum health, and your bite. This steady follow-up supports long-term success.

4) Final bespoke restoration

When healing is complete, we fit your definitive bridge, designed to your bite, facial proportions, and smile goals.

Materials and shade are chosen with you, so your new smile looks natural and confident.

For a closer look at every stage of the implant journey, explore our detailed step-by-step guide.

• Fixed stability. Your new smile is anchored to your jaw for confident conversation and stronger chewing.

• Natural aesthetics. High-precision bridges support your face and create harmonious proportions.

• Predictable comfort. Digital planning and guided placement support accuracy and can reduce chair time.

• Bone stimulation. Implants can stimulate the jawbone through everyday function.

• Every day confidence. Enjoy more food choices, clearer speech, and the freedom of fixed teeth.

These benefits often feel life-changing, especially if loose dentures or failing teeth have been holding you back.

You will always have clear guidance for what to do, what to expect, and how to feel comfortable at home.

Your new smile deserves thoughtful care. We provide:

• Personalised cleaning advice, including interdental brushes and water flossers
