Complete Smile Transformation
Both arches are restored in a single treatment plan, giving you a fully coordinated, natural-looking smile from top to bottom.
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 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. (subject to clinical suitability)
03 Gold-Standard Formula Protocol
Every case is planned through a fully digital workflow, combining guided surgery with precise implant positioning and pre-smile approval so patients can visualise their new teeth before treatment begins.
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 with 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.
Consultation & Assessment
A detailed consultation is carried out to understand the patient's concerns, smile goals, functional needs, and expectations. Different treatment approaches, tooth designs, and desired outcomes are explored to help determine the most suitable direction for treatment.
Assessment & Smile Design
An appointment with an experienced clinician is carried out for comprehensive digital scans and a full smile assessment, allowing the treatment plan to be finalised and the proposed approach for tooth position, function, and aesthetics to be agreed.
Implant Placement
Implants are placed in both the upper and lower jaw during a carefully planned surgical appointment, using a pilot guide to support accurate positioning and stability. Placement is carried out in line with the prosthetic plan to ensure the implants are positioned for optimal function, support, and long-term outcomes.
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. (subject to clinical suitability)
Final Restoration
After healing, permanent full-arch teeth for both jaws are fitted, custom-made to match your bite and smile perfectly.

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.
