Many patients assume they are not suitable for full jaw dental implants because they have been told they have bone loss, gum disease, loose teeth, or have worn dentures for many years.

The good news is that this is not always the case.

Modern dental implant treatment has helped many patients who were previously told they had limited or no options. Thanks to advances in CBCT imaging, fully guided implant surgery, digital treatment planning, and photogrammetry, clinicians can carefully assess each patient and recommend the most appropriate treatment.

At Implantly, every patient is assessed individually. There is no one-size-fits-all approach because every smile, every mouth, and every treatment plan is different.

The best way to know whether you're suitable is through a detailed clinical assessment with one of our experienced implant clinicians.

Who May Be Suitable for Full Jaw Dental Implants?

You may be suitable if you have:

• Missing teeth
• Loose or failing teeth
• Broken or heavily damaged teeth
• Advanced tooth wear
• Gum disease
• Bone loss
• Loose or uncomfortable dentures
• Difficulty chewing certain foods
• Pain when eating
• A lack of confidence because of your smile
• Multiple failing crowns or bridges
• Teeth that cannot be predictably restored

Many patients are surprised to discover that they are suitable for treatment, even after years of dental problems.

Can I Have Dental Implants If I Have Bone Loss?

Bone loss is one of the biggest concerns patients have when considering dental implants.

Many people believe bone loss automatically means implants are not possible. In reality, many patients with bone loss may still be suitable after a full assessment.

At Implantly, your clinician uses advanced CBCT imaging to measure your available bone in three dimensions.

Rather than guessing, this detailed scan allows us to accurately assess:

• Bone height
• Bone width
• Bone quality
• Position of important nerves and sinuses
• The safest implant placement

Many full jaw implant patients can still receive treatment using modern implant techniques, even where bone levels have reduced over time.

Every case is different, which is why a detailed assessment is essential.

What If I Have Gum Disease?

Gum disease is another common reason patients worry about their suitability.

While active gum disease must always be assessed, it does not automatically rule out implant treatment.

Our clinicians carefully examine:

• Gum health
• Remaining teeth
• Bone support
• Overall oral health
• Medical history

Where appropriate, gum health may need to be managed before treatment begins.

The aim is always to provide the safest and most predictable long-term result.

I've Been Wearing Dentures for Years – Can I Still Have Implants?

Yes.

Many of our patients have worn removable dentures for many years before choosing fixed teeth.

Patients often tell us they struggle with:

• Loose dentures
• Denture movement
• Difficulty eating
• Sore gums
• Denture adhesive
• Reduced confidence when speaking or laughing

Full jaw dental implants provide a fixed solution that feels much more secure than removable dentures.

During your consultation, we'll assess whether implants are suitable and explain all available options.

I've Been Told I'm Not Suitable Elsewhere

Some patients come to Implantly after being told elsewhere that implants weren't possible.

This does not necessarily mean treatment isn't an option.

Different clinicians may recommend different approaches depending on:

• Their experience
• The technology available
• Their treatment methods
• The complexity of your case

Our experienced implant clinicians carry out a full assessment before making any recommendations.

Many patients are pleasantly surprised to learn they still have options available.

Why Does Implantly Use Fully Guided Surgery?

Implantly uses fully guided implant surgery rather than freehand placement.

Using advanced digital planning, your implants are carefully planned before treatment begins.

This allows our clinicians to place implants with accuracy and precision based on your individual anatomy.

Combined with photogrammetry, digital scanning, and detailed planning, this helps create a predictable treatment process from consultation through to your final smile.

What If I'm Nervous About Treatment?

Many patients tell us they have avoided the dentist for years because of anxiety.

You are certainly not alone.

Our team understands that visiting the dentist can feel overwhelming, particularly if you've experienced dental problems for a long time.

From your first consultation, we'll explain every stage of your treatment clearly, answer your questions, and make sure you feel comfortable throughout your journey.

Many of our patients say they wish they'd booked their consultation much sooner.
