Choosing full mouth dental implants is a big decision and it’s completely normal to feel nervous, overwhelmed, or unsure about what lies ahead.
At New Life Teeth, we understand that this journey isn’t just clinical.
It’s emotional. It’s personal. And for many people, it comes after years of discomfort, embarrassment, or disappointment with their teeth.
This page walks you gently through your implant journey, so you know exactly what to expect, when to expect it, and, most importantly, that you’ll never go through it alone.
Before we begin, it’s important to know:
No two implant journeys are exactly the same.
The timeline below reflects a typical full arch implant pathway, but your experience may vary depending on:
Our role is to guide you safely, carefully, and compassionately, at the pace that’s right for you.
This is where your journey begins
Your first visit to New Life Teeth is a free, no-obligation clinical assessment.
You’ll spend around 60–90 minutes with our team, including one of our leading full jaw implant surgeons. This is not a rushed appointment, it’s time set aside to listen, understand, and explain.
During this visit, we will:
Most importantly, we’ll explain everything in plain language and outline what is possible for you.
Afterwards, you’ll meet one of our Treatment Coordinators, who will gently guide you through the next steps, with no pressure and no obligation.
Calm, supported, and in safe hands
It’s completely natural to feel anxious about surgery day.
We’re very aware of that, and everything about this day is designed around comfort, reassurance, and safety.
You’ll be welcomed into your private patient suite, where our team will settle you in and explain what’s happening at each stage.
For your comfort, we provide complimentary IV sedation, delivered by our experienced anaesthesia team. Most patients tell us they remember very little of the procedure itself.
The surgery typically takes 2–3 hours. While you rest and recover, our on-site laboratory begins creating your custom temporary teeth.
You’ll leave the clinic later that day with:
A chaperone will take you home, and we’ll be here if you need us.
Checking healing and easing reassurance
Two weeks after surgery, you’ll return for your 2-week review.
This appointment allows us to:
Most patients feel significantly better by this stage, with only mild tenderness remaining.
We’ll also guide you gently on brushing around the gum line and provide anything you need to support healing, including mouthwash or additional pain relief if required.
Learning how to care for your new smile
At around six weeks post-surgery, healing is progressing well and it’s time to focus on long-term care.
At this appointment:
By this stage, you can begin cleaning more confidently and transition to an electric toothbrush if you wish.
This visit is about confidence, knowing how to look after your implants comfortably and safely.
Preparing for your final smile
As swelling settles and healing continues, your mouth changes, and we need to capture this accurately.
During this 60–75 minute appointment, we:
This information allows us to design your trial PMMA teeth, which closely mirror your final Zirconia smile.
Seeing and feeling your new smile
This is an exciting step.
You’ll be fitted with your trial PMMA teeth, designed to replicate the final shape, position, and function of your Zirconia teeth.
At this visit:
This stage allows you to test drive your new smile before anything final is made.
Your feedback matters
At your review appointment, we sit down with you and talk through:
You’ll also choose the shade of your final Zirconia teeth, with 19 options available.
If everything feels right, our in-house lab begins crafting your final Zirconia Prettau bridges. If adjustments are needed, we’ll refine them — without rushing.
The moment it all comes together
This is the day many patients tell us they’ll never forget.
Your final Zirconia Prettau teeth are fitted, your bite is checked, and we take photographs and a baseline X-ray for long-term monitoring.
We take time to celebrate this milestone with you, because it matters.
You’ll leave with:
Many patients choose to share their experience or photos, helping others who are standing where you once stood.
This journey is about more than teeth.
It’s about confidence. Comfort. Eating, smiling, and living without worry.
We know it can feel daunting, but you won’t be doing this alone.
From your first appointment to your final smile, New Life Teeth is with you every step of the way.
Book your free clinical assessment and let us guide you forward, gently, safely, and honestly.
