Full mouth dental implants, also known as All-on-4 or All-on-6, provide a secure and natural-looking alternative to dentures.

Using just a few dental implants, we can replace an entire arch of teeth with a fixed bridge that restores both function and appearance.

FAQs

How many dental implants are needed for full mouth treatment?

Typically, we use between 4 and 6 implants per arch to support a full set of fixed teeth.
Modern techniques, such as "All-on-4" or "All-on-6," allow us to replace an entire upper or lower row of teeth without needing an individual implant for every single tooth. This makes the treatment more efficient, cost-effective, and less invasive.

Will I be without teeth during treatment?

No - we ensure you never leave our practice with a gap in your smile.

We understand that maintaining your appearance and confidence is a priority. Depending on your specific case, we provide high-quality temporary restorations to bridge the gap while your permanent implant heals.

How long does the treatment take?

On average, the full mouth implant process takes between 3 and 6 months.

Because every patient heals at a different rate, your specific timeline will depend on how quickly your jawbone integrates with the new implants. We prioritize a stable, long-lasting result over a rushed one.

Do full mouth implants feel natural?

Yes - once healed, most patients forget they even have implants.

Unlike traditional dentures that sit on top of the gums and can shift, full mouth implants are anchored directly into the jawbone. This creates a rock-solid foundation that mimics the root system of natural teeth.

Is sedation available?

Yes. We offer safe, effective sedation to ensure a completely relaxed experience.

If you feel anxious or have a strong gag reflex, sedation can transform your visit. It allows you to remain conscious and able to follow simple instructions while feeling deeply calm and indifferent to the treatment happening around you.

How long do full mouth dental implants last?

With proper care and maintenance, the implants themselves are designed to last a lifetime.

The titanium or zirconia posts act as "artificial roots" that fuse with your jawbone, creating a permanent foundation. While the implants are built for longevity, the custom-made bridge (the visible teeth) attached to them may experience natural wear over many years.

Are dental implants better than dentures?

Yes - for most patients, dental implants offer superior stability, comfort, and long-term health benefits.

While dentures are a functional way to replace missing teeth, they sit on top of the gums and can shift or click. Dental implants, however, become a permanent part of your anatomy.

How do I clean them?

Cleaning implants is simple—treat them with the same care and attention as your natural teeth.

Because implants are anchored in your gums and bone, keeping those areas free of plaque is the secret to making them last a lifetime. A clean environment prevents "peri-implantitis," which is essentially gum disease for implants.
