A Dentist's Guide to Complete Mouth Dental Implants
If you’re reading this, chances are you’re either missing most of your teeth, struggling with uncomfortable dentures, or know you’re heading in that direction. As a dental practice, we speak to patients every week who feel frustrated, embarrassed or just plain fed up with not being able to eat or smile properly. If that sounds like you, complete mouth dental implants could be a life-changing solution.
At Avenue Dental Practice, we want to give you the clearest, most honest explanation of how this treatment works, how much it costs, and whether it’s right for you.

What Are Complete Mouth Dental Implants?
Instead of replacing each tooth one by one, we place 4 to 6 dental implants in your upper or lower jaw. These implants act like roots, supporting a full set of teeth that are fixed in place. The result? You get a full, secure smile that doesn’t move, doesn’t need to come out at night, and allows you to eat, speak and live normally.
We often use the All-on-4 or All-on-6 techniques for this. One of the most requested options we offer is Same Day Teeth, where temporary teeth are placed on the same day as your implants. It means you walk out with a working smile straight away.
“Patients tell us they feel like themselves again – they can eat steak, laugh freely and stop covering their mouths.”
Why Patients Choose Implants Over Dentures
Many people come to us wearing dentures that slip, rub, or make eating a social event they dread. Others are tired of dental bridges that fail over time.
Here’s why complete mouth dental implants offer a different level of confidence:
- They don’t move – no slipping or clicking when you eat or speak
- No need for adhesives or soaking overnight
- They protect your jawbone from shrinking (which happens when teeth are missing)
- They look and feel natural, especially compared to loose-fitting dentures
- They’re fixed – you brush them like normal teeth, no special routines
For many, it’s not just about teeth — it’s about living comfortably again.
Are You Suitable for Full Mouth Dental Implants?
You don’t need to be in perfect health or have the ideal jawbone to benefit from implants. We see patients who:
- Have been wearing dentures for years
- Have lost most or all of their teeth
- Have gum disease or bone loss
- Have conditions like diabetes or osteoporosis (in many cases, these are manageable)
Even if you’ve been told elsewhere that you’re not suitable, don’t give up. With modern techniques like tilted implants and bone grafts, many more people qualify than ever before.
We’ll assess you fully at our Leamington Spa practice, using detailed scans and 3D imaging to check your suitability.
What Is the Timeline for Treatment?
Every patient is different, but here’s a general idea of what to expect:
Week 1: Consultation & Planning
We start with an in-depth consultation. You’ll meet our implant dentist to talk through your medical history, lifestyle, goals and any worries. We take scans (CT or 3D imaging) to check your bone health and plan the implant placement.
Week 2–3: Surgery Day
If you’re suitable for Same Day Teeth, you’ll come in for surgery and leave with temporary fixed teeth that look and feel like natural ones. We use local anaesthetic or sedation for comfort.
Month 1–3: Healing Phase
This is when the implants bond with your bone (osseointegration). You can eat normally (within reason) using your temporary bridge. We’ll see you for reviews to make sure healing is progressing well.
Month 4–5: Final Teeth Fitted
Once your gums have settled and the implants are strong, we replace the temporary bridge with your custom-made permanent set. These are crafted to fit your face, bite and desired shade.
Ongoing: Aftercare & Maintenance
You’ll need regular hygiene visits and implant reviews – usually twice a year. We check the health of your implants and help you keep everything clean and secure.
Complete Mouth Dental Implants Cost
This is a question we always get asked — and rightly so.
The cost of complete mouth dental implants in the UK typically ranges between £12,000 and £16,000 per jaw. For both upper and lower jaws, expect costs to be between £20,000 and £30,000.
At Avenue Dental, your treatment cost includes:
- Full planning and diagnostics
- Surgery and implant placement
- Temporary and final fixed teeth
- All follow-up care and post-op reviews
We also offer 0% finance and flexible monthly payments to make treatment more manageable. We always provide a written treatment plan with no hidden costs or pressure.
How Do Implants Compare with Dentures or Bridges?
Feature | Dentures | Bridges | Complete Mouth Implants |
---|---|---|---|
Stability | May slip or move | Stable but rely on neighbouring teeth | Fixed to jawbone, secure |
Comfort | Can irritate gums | Can affect healthy teeth | Feels like natural teeth |
Lifespan | 5–8 years | 10–15 years | 20+ years |
Bone preservation | No | No | Yes |
Cleaning | Remove daily | Standard brushing | Standard brushing |
Risks and Success Rates
No surgical procedure is without risks, and we believe in being open about that.
Possible complications include:
- Implant failure (rare but possible, especially in smokers or diabetics)
- Infection at the site
- Temporary numbness or discomfort
That said, dental implants have one of the highest success rates in dentistry — around 95–98%. We minimise risks through careful planning, precise technique, and thorough aftercare.

Real Patient Experience
Dr Bobby Bhandal: “Full mouth dental implants, here at Avenue Dental, has been completely transforming our patients lives. Here we can see some before and after pictures of our lovely patient, Lynn.
Lynn came to Avenue Dental because she was extremely anxious, she was nervous and she even said that she used to have sedation for check-up.
What we discovered was that Lynn was actually living in a very, very uncomfortable state. She was really unhappy with her teeth, and she was covering her mouth, hiding her smile.
Lynn went through a journey of having full mouth dental implants, and you can see the massive impact that it had on her life. She gave up smoking as part of the process, she can eat all of our favourite foods, and she looks so much healthier and better. ”
