Dual Arch

A complete upper and lower transformation — extended support for total confidence

What is a Dual Arch?

At Formula Implants, we are changing the approach to full-arch dentistry. Whether you need All-on-4 or All-on-6 implants on both jaws, our goal is the same: a comfortable, natural-looking smile that you can enjoy immediately, with the gold-standard Formula Protocol ensuring every implant is placed with precision, safety, and long-term success. When both your upper and lower teeth are failing, worn, or missing, a dual arch implant treatment provides the ultimate fresh start. All-on-4 uses four implants per jaw, suited to patients with good front bone, providing up to ten teeth per arch. All-on-6 adds extra implants per jaw for a fuller smile including molars and more stability, and is considered the gold standard for patients who want maximum function and a fully extended smile on both arches. Most patients leave with temporary teeth fitted on the same day on both jaws, giving immediate function and confidence. For patients with severe upper jawbone loss, advanced options such as zygomatic and pterygoid implants anchor into stronger bone in the cheek or back of the jaw, often eliminating the need for complex bone grafts. Formula Implants has clinicians with specialist skills in this field, meaning patients can get all treatment under one roof without travelling between multiple practices.

Key Benefits

Discover why patients choose this treatment for lasting results.

  • 01

    Complete Smile Transformation

    Both arches are restored in a single treatment plan, giving you a fully coordinated, natural-looking smile from top to bottom.

  • 02

    Same-Day Teeth on Both Arches

    Temporary teeth are fitted on both jaws on the same day as your implant surgery, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile immediately.

  • 03

    Gold-Standard Formula Protocol

    Every implant is treated with plasma surface treatment for faster healing, Viruseal to seal the implant-abutment connection against bacteria, and Sil-Flow to seal the screw channels for long-term strength.

  • 04

    Fixed, Permanent Solution

    Unlike dentures, your new teeth are permanently fixed in place on both jaws. No removal, no adhesives, no slipping.

  • 05

    All-on-4 or All-on-6 Options Per Arch

    Four implants per jaw provide a beautiful smile for patients with good front bone. Six implants per jaw extend support further back for a fuller smile including molars and stronger chewing ability.

  • 06

    Advanced Solutions Available

    When standard implants aren't enough, zygomatic and pterygoid implants make full-arch treatment possible on both jaws — all under one roof at Formula Implants.

  • 07

    Better Value

    Treating both arches together is more cost-effective than two separate single arch treatments, with coordinated planning and fewer appointments.

The Process

Your journey to a restored smile in simple steps.

1

Consultation & Assessment

Detailed scans of both jaws and facial structure are taken to plan precise implant placement. Smile goals, number of teeth, and treatment options are discussed to find the best solution for both arches.

2

Assessment & Smile Design

Appointment with an experienced clinician for digital scans and a comprehensive smile assessment covering both arches.

3

Implant Placement

Implants are placed in both the upper and lower jaw. Plasma surface treatment encourages faster healing and stronger early stability. Viruseal seals the implant-abutment connections, and Sil-Flow seals the screw channels to prevent bacteria.

4

Temporary Teeth Fitted Same Day

You leave with a full set of functional temporary teeth on both arches, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently immediately.

5

Final Restoration

After healing, permanent full-arch teeth for both jaws are fitted, custom-made to match your bite and smile perfectly.

  • Single Arch

    Single Arch

    At Formula Implants, we are changing the approach to full-arch dentistry. Whether you need an All-on-4 or an All-on-6 for your upper or lower jaw, our goal is the same: a comfortable, natural-looking smile that you can enjoy immediately, with the gold-standard Formula Protocol ensuring every implant is placed with precision, safety, and long-term success. If your upper or lower teeth are missing, failing, or causing daily discomfort, a single arch implant treatment provides a complete reset for one jaw. All-on-4 uses four implants, suited to patients with a narrow smile line and good bone in the front of the mouth, providing up to ten teeth. All-on-6 adds extra implants for a fuller smile including molars and more stability, and is considered the gold standard for patients who want maximum function and a fully extended smile. Most patients leave with temporary teeth fitted on the same day, giving immediate function and confidence. For patients with severe upper jawbone loss, advanced options such as zygomatic and pterygoid implants anchor into stronger bone in the cheek or back of the jaw, often eliminating the need for complex bone grafts. Formula Implants has clinicians with specialist skills in this field, meaning patients don't need to travel between multiple practices.

  • Overdentures

    Overdentures

    If you wear traditional dentures and struggle with slipping, discomfort, or difficulty eating, implant-retained overdentures offer a life-changing solution. Using 2–4 strategically placed implants, your dentures snap securely into place, providing the stability and confidence you've been missing. Unlike fixed bridges, overdentures can be removed for cleaning while still offering far superior retention compared to traditional dentures. Enjoy your favourite foods, speak clearly, and smile freely without worrying about your dentures moving. For many patients, overdentures are the perfect balance between security and convenience.
