Full Arch Dental Implants Littlehampton
A permanent replacement for all or most of your teeth
If you have lost most or all of your teeth, we can do a full arch restoration to permanently replace them using 4-6 implants and a dental bridge. Sometimes referred to as All-on-4 or 6, full arch implants act, look and feel just like real teeth and as a fixed solution, they are a far more comfortable, reliable and longer-lasting solution than dentures.
Prices start from £10,000.
About the treatment
As with any implants, we will need to assess the jawbone structure prior to the treatment to determine whether there is enough bone to insert the implants into. If not, we can rebuild it using various bone grafting techniques. Once the jawbone is determined okay, 4-6 titanium screws (also known as the implants) are inserted into the bone during a small surgical procedure, providing a stable foundation for your full arch fixed dental bridge. Following the procedure, a temporary bridge is fitted to the implants whilst they heal, then after a few months you will be fitted with a permanent bridge and a brand-new smile!
Pre-implant treatments and when they are required
When a tooth or multiple teeth have been gone for a long time, the jawbone beneath the missing root can start to shrink from lack of stimulation. This can mean that there is sometimes insufficient jawbone to place the implants into. In such cases, we have various pre-implant treatments that can be used to rebuild the bone if it has already shrunk. We can also preserve the socket if you are in the early stages of extraction, allowing you to continue with dental implant treatment afterwards.
Common questions for full arch implants
Yes! The implants are placed at a specific position and angle to provide a secure base to support your dental bridge. This method is tried and tested and has proven successful.
Whilst dentures are the cheaper option short-term, dental implants are the closest thing you can get to having real teeth and are a fantastic long-term option. Dentures can also be problematic when it comes to eating, speech and comfort. Because they sit on top of the gums, they also do not prevent your jawbone from receding which can affect your appearance. Because full arch dental implants are inserted into the jawbone, they prevent receding from happening. As a fixed solution, they are more comfortable and allow you to eat all your favourite foods, just as you would with real teeth.
Yes! Many patients who opt for implants have been missing teeth for a long time and have tried other solutions first, such as dentures. Depending on the density of your jawbone however, you may require some pre-implant treatments before having implants placed.
If you need to have bone grafting, it basically means that there is not enough jawbone underneath the gum to place the implant into. In cases such as this, we have a number of bone grafting treatments that we can use to build the bone back up, so that there is a solid foundation in which to place the implant.
Following any dental implant surgery, a soft food diet is recommended for the first week. After that, your diet can more or less go back to normal, even with your temporary crowns (with the exception of really chewy or crunchy foods such as nuts, toffees or raw vegetables). After a few months, when you get your permanent crowns, your diet can go completely back to normal.

I have been a patient of Dr Sanuri for both aesthetics and cosmetic dentistry, and I can honestly say I have never felt in better hands. He is very thorough is his explanations of the procedures I have undergone. I very much feel he is with me every step of the way, always asking if I had any questions. I would highly recommend Dr Sanuri, for his professionalism, preciseness and just his general kind and happy character.

Customer Testimonials
I am a dental nurse who has worked with Adel on many occasions for a wide range of treatments. I can honestly say he is a first-rate dentist who is very caring towards his patients. His implant expertise is outstanding and I feel proud to assist him with these. He never puts patients under pressure but is happy to guide and answer questions with his wealth of dental knowledge.
I chose Adel as my dentist when it came to needing treatment myself. Having never really been happy with the appearance of my crooked teeth, we decided on Invisalign treatment. He has put me at ease throughout and has made straightening my teeth a pain-free experience. I would highly recommend him.

Customer Testimonials
I have been a patient of Dr Sanuri for over 5 years. I had the ClearCorrect treatment with him to get my perfect smile and from start to finish, he’s been amazing.
I get very anxious before appointments, but Dr Sanuri was brilliant at making me feel comfortable and at ease. I’m so happy with my treatment and can’t thank him enough for the work he has put in to help me create my perfect smile.
Gemma Boltwood – Cosmetic Dentistry Patient
Customer Testimonials
Dr Sanuri saw me as a patient for a very deep filling on a tooth. It had started causing me problems and I thought that root canal treatment might be needed.
A year and a half later, it is all OK and I haven’t had any problems with it. He works quickly and efficiently - I didn’t feel a thing.
Rosen Ampirski – Dental Patient
Customer Testimonials
I am a General Dentist and have had the privilege of working with Dr Sanuri for the past 5 years - including working on some cases together.
I have come to regard him as an exceptional clinician with a meticulous work ethic. His patients consider him extremely caring but they hold him in very high regard in general and have been very pleased with the work he has done for them.
As a fellow dentist one tends to look at another dentist’s work critically, but I can happily say that I will entrust Dr Sanuri with working on my own teeth anytime. And that is saying a lot!
Godfried Gevers – Dental Patient
Customer Testimonials
Dr Sanuri first did my Botox and fillers a few years ago. I remember being concerned by the wrinkles and prominent frown lines on my forehead, these lines were very noticeable to me in pictures and knocked my confidence a lot.
I found him to have a professional, attentive approach which completely put me at ease. The outcome was amazing!
I had no bruising whatsoever and the treatment itself was pretty much pain-free. The results were dramatic and so natural looking I’ve never felt so comfortable in my own skin.
