Supportive Care From A Team You Can Trust
Kington Dental is a private practice in Kington, Herefordshire, welcoming patients from The Courtyard area of Hereford for full arch dental implants.
If you live, work or spend time around The Courtyard and are considering a fixed way to replace many missing or failing teeth, our friendly team is here to help. We focus on clear explanations, gentle care and a plan that is designed around your needs, so you feel informed and confident at each stage.
Understanding Full Arch Dental Implants
Full arch dental implants are used to replace a complete set of upper or lower teeth with a fixed bridge that is supported by dental implants. In many plans, four to six implants are placed in the jaw to anchor a custom-made bridge, which feels secure for daily wear and is not removed. This approach is sometimes described as All-On-4 or full arch implant rehabilitation.
Your treatment is planned so you can regain reliable function and a natural-looking smile with a solution that stays in place. Depending on your case, a provisional bridge may be fitted while healing occurs, followed later by a carefully crafted final bridge. Your clinician will confirm suitability, explain the steps and advise you on what to expect before, during and after your appointments.

Your clinician will explain what is realistic for you and how to look after your implants and bridge day to day.
Who Full Arch Dental Implants May Suit
Full arch implants may be considered if you have many missing or failing teeth, or if a removable denture is not working well for you. They can also be an option if you prefer a fixed solution that does not come out each day. Your general health, gum condition and jawbone will all be assessed to confirm whether this approach is suitable.
If you have been told you have limited bone, it does not automatically rule you out. It does mean we will carry out a careful evaluation and discuss the safest, most appropriate options for you. The right plan is always confirmed after an in-practice assessment, with personalised advice so you can make an informed decision.
