What Are Full Mouth Dental Implants?

Full mouth dental implants involve replacing all upper and/or lower teeth with a set of lifelike, custom-made prosthetics anchored securely by dental implants placed in the jawbone. This system is far more comfortable, stable, and long-lasting than traditional dentures.

The Step-by-Step Process

1. 1. Consultation & EvaluationYour dentist assesses oral and bone health using digital scans and X-rays to determine if you’re a candidate, and creates a personalized treatment plan.

2. 2. Treatment PlanningA plan is developed outlining the number and placement of implants (typically 4-8 per jaw) and any preparatory procedures like bone grafting if needed.

3. 3. Implant Placement SurgeryTitanium posts are surgically inserted into the jaw under local anesthesia. These posts serve as the foundations for your new teeth, and the gums are stitched to heal around them.

4. 4. Healing & OsseointegrationFor several months, the jawbone fuses with the implants in a process called osseointegration. Temporary teeth may be provided during this stage to maintain comfort and appearance.

5. 5. Abutment & Final RestorationOnce the implants are secure, small connectors (abutments) are placed, and your custom-designed prosthetic teeth are attached. The appearance and function are tested to ensure a perfect fit.
