How does Full Mouth Implants work?
Full mouth implants, also known as All-on-4® implants, are a revolutionary solution for people who have lost most or all of their teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, which can be uncomfortable and unstable, All-on-4® implants provide a secure, long-lasting, and natural-looking alternative. This procedure uses just four or more implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth, offering a permanent solution that feels and functions like real teeth. With All-on-4® implants, you can eat your favorite foods, speak clearly, and smile with confidence.
Benefits
Permanent and Natural Solution
Full mouth implants provide a long-lasting solution that looks and feels just like natural teeth. Unlike dentures, they are designed to be a permanent part of your smile, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Comfort and Stability
These implants are securely anchored in your jawbone, eliminating the discomfort and irritation often associated with traditional dentures. This stable fit ensures a comfortable experience in daily activities.
Improved Functionality and Confidence
With All-on-4 implants, you can enjoy your favorite foods without restriction and feel confident in your smile. The secure fit and natural appearance of the implants can significantly boost your self-esteem and enhance your quality of life.
How will it work?
Full mouth implants, or All-on-4® implants, require careful planning to create your new, healthy smile. Our office and doctors will take the time to create a personalized treatment plan to achieve your desired results. We will also work directly with your restorative dentist for optimal results.
Consultation and Planning
Your journey begins with an initial consultation where we assess your dental health, take necessary X-rays or scans, and discuss your specific needs. Based on this assessment, we create a personalized treatment plan, including the number of implants needed and any additional procedures required for the best outcome.
Preparation and Implant Placement
On the day of the procedure, we ensure your comfort by administering local anesthesia or sedation. Our skilled surgeons then place the implants into your jawbone with precision, providing a stable foundation for your new teeth.
Temporary Teeth and Healing
After implant placement, a temporary set of teeth is attached to the implants, allowing you to leave with a complete smile on the same day. Over the next few months, the implants integrate with your jawbone, forming a strong foundation for your permanent teeth.
Final Prosthesis and Maintenance
Once the implants have fully integrated, you return for the placement of your custom-made, permanent teeth. Regular follow-up visits and proper care are essential to ensure the long-term success of your implants, including guidance on oral hygiene and routine dental check-ups.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Still have questions? Contact us to learn more.
What are full mouth implants or All-on-4 implants?
Full mouth implants, also known as All-on-4 implants, are a dental solution that replaces all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw with just four implants. These implants act as a strong foundation for a full set of prosthetic teeth, providing a natural look and feel.
How long does the All-on-4 implant procedure take?
The entire process usually takes several months from start to finish. The initial surgery to place the implants can be completed in a single day. However, it takes about 3-4 months for the implants to fully integrate with your jawbone before the final set of teeth can be attached. During the healing period you have temporary teeth which are very similar to your final teeth.
Is the All-on-4 procedure painful?
Most patients report some discomfort after the surgery, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. During the procedure, local anesthesia or sedation is used to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free.
Can anyone get All-on-4 implants?
Most people who are missing a significant number of teeth and have sufficient jawbone density are good candidates for All-on-4 implants. However, a thorough evaluation by your surgeon is necessary to determine if this treatment is right for you.
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
With proper care, All-on-4 implants can last many years, often decades. The prosthetic teeth might need adjustments or replacements over time, but the implants themselves are designed to be a long-term solution.
What are the benefits of All-on-4 implants over traditional dentures?
All-on-4 implants provide a more secure and stable fit compared to traditional dentures, which can slip and cause discomfort. They also help preserve your jawbone, maintain your facial structure, and allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Are All-on-4 implants covered by insurance?
Coverage varies depending on your insurance plan. Some plans may cover a portion of the cost, but it’s best to check with your insurance provider to understand your benefits. Many dental offices also offer financing options to make the treatment more affordable.
What foods can you eat after having full mouth implants placed?
You can eat broths, soups, smoothies, protein shakes, mashed potatoes or applesauce. As you heal you can transition to any foods you can cut with the side of a fork like scrambled eggs, yogurt, soft cooked vegetables and pasta. If you have any doubts it is probably too heard. Always check with your oral surgeon first before moving to harder foods.
