When everything needs replacing, it deserves to be done properly
Losing most or all of your teeth changes everything. The way you eat. The way you smile in photos. The way you feel about yourself. For some patients, decades of failing teeth, gum disease or denture wear have led to a point where the only real answer is a complete reconstruction - and that's what full mouth dental implants are for.
This isn't a small treatment, and it isn't a quick decision. It's also one of the most rewarding things we do - because the difference it makes to a patient's life is profound and immediate.
Trusted by our patients
The best dental experience I've ever had, Dr Bhav W was fantastic all the way through my journey with Natural Smiles! I spoke to him in great detail of exactly what I wanted and by the end of my treatment he had gone above and beyond!! Highly recommended! The receptionists were also extremely friendly and were always willing to help!
Very professional looking forward to my treatment. Feel safe in the knowledge this practice has. Very reassuring.
I have known Bhavnish for a while but this was my first visit to his clinic for my treatment (root canal). Must say this has been one of my best experiences so far when compared with visits with previous episodes, especially as I suffer from dental phobia. The clinic is super clean, hygienic, not claustrophobic and has latest medical devices. The staff is very friendly and keeps calm throughout the procedure. Bhavnish is a hands-on dentist and he himself operated me. Has been a great experience and happy to recommend Natural Smiles any time.
Anmol made me feel really comfortable and explained the process fully in every detail. She exceeded my expectations and I'm really happy with how the results turned out. At first I had doubts but at the end it was worth it. I recommend Natural Smiles Leicester to anyone.
I have been coming to Natural smiles in Wigston for several years now, from being very nervous to feeling relaxed enough to have a lovely set of teeth. The whole team are very friendly, kind, knowledgeable and understanding. I highly recommend the service.
Outstanding service everytime. I have been using natural smiles for around 10 years now and they are so friendly, really on the ball with appointment reminders etc I always feel so welcomed by the reception team, Dr Bal and her assistant. Dr Bal is very knowledgeable and passionate about her work. Can't recommend them enough! Thanks for taking care of me!
Great follow on appointment. The team do always make me feel welcome and give a great service.
I really love coming to the practice. Amy at reception is always on-point and helpful. She goes above and beyond to ensure she can fit you in and keeps you updated of any cancellations so you can get an earlier appointment if needed. I've had the pleasure of meeting Dr Bal and Dr Waghela both of which are extremely knowledgeable in their fields and thoroughly explain any procedures you choose to go for. They always have your best interest at heart and I can say that I 100% trust them with my smile. I've always found it hard to find a dental practice I can trust and having this practice in Leicester is a big win. I've been with them for 4 years now and couldn't recommend it enough!
Real stories from patients who wanted to feel like themselves again
What does "full mouth dental implants" actually mean?
Full mouth implant treatment replaces all of your teeth - upper, lower or both - with a permanent solution supported by dental implants. There are several different approaches, depending on your bone, your goals and your budget. The right approach for you depends on your specific situation, which is exactly what we'll work out together at your consultation.
Your treatment options
"Full mouth dental implants" is an umbrella term covering several different treatment approaches. Each has its place.
All-on-4 / All-on-6 (full arch fixed bridge)
Four to six implants per jaw support a fixed bridge of teeth. Permanently in place - cared for like natural teeth. The most popular option for patients wanting the closest possible feel to having their original teeth back. See our All-on-4 page for more detail.
Implant-retained dentures
Two to four implants per jaw support a removable denture that clips firmly onto them. A more affordable option that still gives you the stability and confidence of implants. See our implant-retained dentures page for more detail.
Multiple individual implants with crowns or bridges
For patients with some remaining teeth, or specific clinical situations, we can place individual implants to support single crowns or smaller bridges - building up to a full reconstruction over time.
Teeth in a day
In suitable cases, we can place implants and fit fixed teeth in a single appointment, transforming your smile in just one day. See our teeth in a day page for more.

Your journey, properly mapped
Full mouth treatment isn't an appointment - it's a journey, often spanning several months from start to finish. We've structured ours to be calm, clear and well-paced.
Stage 1 - The free consultation
A relaxed conversation with our treatment coordinator, no clinical pressure, no instruments. Just an honest discussion of where you are, what you'd like to change, and whether this treatment is the right direction for you. £20 refundable deposit secures the appointment.
Stage 2 - The full clinical assessment
If you'd like to proceed, we'll book a thorough examination - 3D scans, BACD-protocol photography, OPG, CBCT scan, oral cancer screening and periodontal assessment. We follow the full BACD diagnostic protocol so nothing gets missed.
Stage 3 - The options meeting
You'll receive a comprehensive written document detailing your problems, every suitable option, and the costs associated with each. The clinical side is delivered by your dentist; the financial side is discussed openly with our treatment coordinator. You'll never feel rushed into a decision.
Stage 4 - Treatment
Whichever route you choose, treatment is delivered in carefully planned stages, with our team supporting you throughout. For some patients, this means a few longer appointments. For others, especially with teeth in a day, it can mean a single transformative day.
Stage 5 - Maintenance and aftercare
Once treatment is complete, regular check-ups and hygiene visits keep your new smile healthy for the long term. We're with you for life, not just the build phase.
How long does full mouth treatment take?
It depends on the approach. Teeth in a day can transform your smile in a single appointment. A staged approach typically spans 6-9 months from initial planning to final restoration. We'll always give you a realistic timeline at your consultation, based on your specific case.
Bone grafting - what to expect
Some patients - particularly those who've worn dentures for years or have lost teeth long ago - may need bone regeneration in certain areas before or during implant placement. Modern techniques mean this is far less invasive than it used to be, often done at the same time as implant placement. Our in-house CBCT and Dr Waghela's experience mean we can plan this with precision.
For many patients, however, modern angled implant techniques (used in All-on-4) can avoid the need for major grafting altogether.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a full mouth reconstruction last?
With good care, the implants themselves are designed to last decades - many patients keep theirs for life. The bridge or restorations attached to them may need refurbishment or replacement after 10-15 years depending on materials and usage. Regular maintenance is what makes the long-term difference.
Will I look like myself afterwards?
You'll look like the best version of yourself. Full mouth reconstruction is designed around your facial features, lip line, age and personality - so the result feels natural rather than artificial. Many patients tell us they end up with a smile that looks better than their teeth did even when they were young and healthy.
Is the treatment really uncomfortable?
Less than most people expect. Modern techniques, careful planning and effective anaesthesia (with optional IV sedation) mean treatment is far easier to tolerate than the horror stories suggest. The discomfort that follows is typically mild to moderate, well-managed with painkillers, and resolves within days.
What if I'm anxious about treatment?
Anxiety is very common for full mouth patients - often because they've had years of difficult dental experiences. We offer IV sedation for eligible cases, and our treatment coordinator is specifically there to make sure you feel supported, not rushed, throughout the entire journey.
Can I have full mouth implants if I currently wear dentures?
Absolutely - it's one of the most common reasons patients come to us. The transformation from removable dentures to fixed implant-supported teeth is one of the most rewarding things in dentistry. Many patients tell us they wish they'd done it years earlier.
How quickly will I be able to eat normally?
With teeth in a day approaches, you'll be eating soft foods on your new teeth from day one - gradually progressing to a normal diet over a few weeks. With staged approaches, the timeline depends on the specific plan but is always carefully managed so you're never without functional teeth.
Will my insurance cover any of this?
Most private dental insurance offers limited cover for implant work. We'll talk you through what your specific policy is likely to contribute (if anything) and discuss finance options to cover the balance. The investment in finance plans can make this manageable across several years.
What if I have other dental problems alongside missing teeth?
We'll address everything as part of an integrated plan. Full mouth treatment often involves dealing with gum disease, residual decay, or jaw joint issues alongside the implants themselves. Our comprehensive approach means nothing gets missed.
