Frequently asked questions

ARCHMORE is a digitally guided, restoratively driven approach to fixed teeth. We plan your final smile first, then use keyhole guided placement and post placement verification to help deliver a gentler experience, more precise execution, and a highly customised result often with same-day fixed teeth.

1) What are dental implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts placed in the jaw to act like artificial tooth roots. With ARCHMORE, implant placement is planned digitally and performed with keyhole guided surgery to make it minimally invasive and help position implants according to a restoratively driven plan.

2) What is full arch implant treatment?

Full arch implant treatment replaces an entire upper or lower arch with a fixed bridge supported by implants. ARCHMORE is a digitally guided, keyhole approach designed to streamline the process and deliver a customised result that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth and achieves your best smile.

3) Does “Fixed Teeth in a Day” mean permanent teeth the same day?

Usually, “teeth in a day” means a fixed temporary bridge is placed on the day. Your final teeth are typically completed after healing. ARCHMORE’s restoratively driven planning and precision verification are designed to make the same-day phase more predictable and the final result more customised.

4) Can I get fixed teeth the same day?

Many patients can, if suitable. Whether same-day fixed teeth is appropriate depends on bone, implant stability, bite forces and health factors. ARCHMORE’s digital planning and guided surgery are designed to support a more controlled pathway to same-day teeth.

5) Who is ARCHMORE suitable for?

ARCHMORE is commonly suited to patients with missing teeth, failing teeth, or loose dentures who want fixed teeth. Your suitability is confirmed by assessment and imaging. ARCHMORE uses this data to plan from the final smile first and tailor the safest approach for you.

6) What happens at the first consultation?

We assess your goals, medical history and oral health, then take digital imaging/scans. With ARCHMORE, that scan data is used to plan your treatment from the desired final teeth backwards so your plan is customised and the surgical approach is designed around your final outcome.

7) Is the procedure painful?

During treatment, anaesthetic is used and sedation options may be available. After surgery, some swelling and discomfort is normal. ARCHMORE’s guided keyhole approach is designed to be gentler and more controlled than traditional methods, which may help reduce tissue trauma and support a smoother recovery.

8) How long is recovery?

Recovery varies by person and complexity. Many patients experience the most swelling and soreness in the first few days. Because ARCHMORE is a guided keyhole approach, it is designed to minimise unnecessary surgical disruption often meaning a more comfortable early recovery compared with more invasive approaches.

9) Is implant surgery risky?

All procedures carry risks, including infection, bleeding, delayed healing, nerve disturbance, sinus issues (upper jaw), or implant failure. ARCHMORE is designed to reduce avoidable risk by using digital planning and guided placement. Our guided approach is clinically proven to reduce long-term implant failure in full arch cases by over 77%¹ . The guided protocol helps ensure the plan is followed precisely, rather than relying on estimation.

10) How long does the entire process take?

If you’re suitable for same-day fixed teeth, you may leave with a fixed temporary bridge on the day. Final teeth are completed after healing. ARCHMORE is designed to streamline the overall timeline by connecting planning, guided surgery and post-placement verification into one integrated workflow.

11) Will I be without teeth during healing?

In many cases, no. If you’re suitable, you will receive fixed temporary teeth the same day (or shortly after). ARCHMORE’s integrated workflow is designed to reduce delays between steps and help you transition to fixed teeth as efficiently as safely possible.

12) What can I eat after surgery?

You’ll usually need a softer diet during early healing especially with a temporary bridge to protect implant stability. ARCHMORE’s precision planning and bite verification are designed to help the temporary teeth function comfortably while you heal.

13) Will my new teeth look natural?

That’s the goal. ARCHMORE is restoratively driven meaning the plan begins with your ideal final teeth (shape, smile line, bite and facial support), then the surgical plan is built to deliver that result. This helps create a more customised, natural-looking outcome than ever before.

14) Will they feel like real teeth?

Fixed implant teeth are designed to feel stable and secure and as close as possible to natural teeth. ARCHMORE’s precision planning and fit verification are designed to improve comfort, bite balance and confidence.

15) How long do implants last?

Implants are designed as a long-term solution and are proven to last for many years with good care and maintenance. ARCHMORE supports long-term success by focusing on precise implant positioning and a restoratively driven design that aims to distribute bite forces appropriately.

16) How do I clean fixed implant teeth?

You’ll clean daily with brushing plus additional tools (often interdental brushes, floss threaders, or a water flosser). ARCHMORE bridges are designed with function and maintenance in mind, and we’ll guide you on cleaning techniques and professional maintenance schedules.

17) Can implants fail?

Yes, implant failure can occur early (integration issues) or later (inflammation, overload, hygiene factors). ARCHMORE is designed to reduce preventable causes by planning precisely, placing implants under guidance, and designing the teeth to support stable, balanced function.

18) What if I don’t have enough bone?

Some patients may require grafting or a modified plan. ARCHMORE uses detailed imaging and digital planning to select the safest approach, and to plan implant positioning with your final restoration in mind even in complex anatomy.

19) Can smokers get implants?

Smoking can affect healing and long-term implant health. Some patients may still proceed, but reducing or stopping smoking improves outcomes. ARCHMORE’s precision workflow helps control variables we can control but healing factors still matter, and your clinician will guide you.

20) I’m anxious, what are my sedation options?

Options can include local anaesthetic, IV sedation, or (in some settings) general anaesthetic. ARCHMORE is designed to be efficient and controlled, and many patients find the structured, guided approach reassuring. Your clinician will recommend the safest option for you.

21) How much does full arch implant treatment cost?

Costs vary based on complexity, extractions, grafting, sedation setting, materials, temporary teeth and final teeth. ARCHMORE adds value by reducing guesswork and rework through integrated planning, guided surgery and verification so you know what you’re doing and why, from the beginning. Our state of the art technology means you receive more personalised care and quality at a comparable cost to traditional full arch implants.

22) What’s included in the quote?

Your clinician will clarify what’s included: consultation, imaging, extractions (if needed), sedation/anaesthetic, temporary fixed teeth (if suitable), final teeth, follow-ups and maintenance guidance. ARCHMORE is an integrated workflow, so inclusions are mapped to the full journey not just surgery alone.

23) How do I know if I’m suitable for same-day fixed teeth?

Suitability is confirmed after assessment and planning. Key factors include implant stability on the day, bone quality, bite forces and medical considerations. ARCHMORE’s planning and guided protocols are designed to make suitability decisions clearer and the pathway more predictable and to make same day teeth available in the majority of cases.

24) What’s the next step?

Book an assessment. We’ll confirm suitability, show you a customised plan based on your scans, and explain the safest pathway to fixed teeth often with teeth on the same day for suitable patients.
