Full Mouth Dental Implants: How the Procedure Is Done Step by Step

Full mouth dental implants are one of the most advanced and long-lasting solutions for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. Unlike removable dentures, full mouth implants restore function, aesthetics, and confidence with fixed teeth that look and feel natural.

In this guide, we explain how full mouth dental implants are done, who they are suitable for, and what patients can expect at every stage of treatment.

What Are Full Mouth Dental Implants?

Full mouth dental implants replace an entire upper arch, lower arch, or both using a strategic number of dental implants that support a fixed prosthetic bridge.

Instead of placing an implant for every missing tooth, full mouth rehabilitation typically uses:

• All-on-4 implants

• All-on-6 implants

• Customized implant-supported bridges

This approach provides maximum stability with fewer implants and shorter treatment time.

Who Is a Candidate for Full Mouth Implants?

Full mouth dental implants are ideal for patients who:

• Have lost most or all teeth

• Struggle with loose or uncomfortable dentures

• Have advanced tooth decay or gum disease

• Want a permanent, fixed solution

• Have sufficient bone or are eligible for bone grafting

A professional consultation and 3D imaging are essential to determine candidacy.

Step-by-Step: How Full Mouth Implants Are Done

1. Comprehensive Consultation and Digital Planning

The process begins with a detailed examination, including:

• 3D CBCT scans

• Digital impressions

• Bone density analysis

• Bite and facial structure evaluation

• Review of medical history

Using advanced digital planning, your dentist designs the exact implant positions for optimal strength, balance, and aesthetics.

2. Treatment Plan Customization

Every full mouth implant case is unique. Your dentist will determine:

• Number of implants needed

• Implant system and material

• Need for bone grafting or sinus lift

• Whether immediate loading is possible

• Type of final prosthetic teeth

This ensures long-term success and natural-looking results.

3. Implant Placement Surgery

During the surgical phase:

• The remaining damaged teeth (if any) are removed

• Dental implants are placed into the jawbone

• Procedures are done under local anesthesia or sedation for comfort

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is and report minimal pain afterward

4. Temporary Fixed Teeth

In many cases, patients receive temporary fixed teeth on the same day or within 24–72 hours.

These temporary teeth:

• Are securely attached to the implants

• Restore function and appearance immediately

• Allow healing while maintaining quality of life

This is commonly known as “teeth in a day” or immediate load implants.

5. Healing and Osseointegration

Over the next 3–6 months, the implants fuse naturally with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration.

During this phase:

• Implants become stable and strong

• Gums heal and adapt

• Temporary teeth are adjusted if needed

Good oral hygiene and follow-up visits are essential during healing.

6. Final Permanent

Once healing is complete:

• The temporary bridge is replaced with permanent teeth

• Final prosthetics are made from high-quality materials such as zirconia or porcelain

• Bite, color, and shape are customized for a natural appearance

The result is a fully restored smile with fixed, non-removable teeth.

Why Choose Full Mouth Implants Over Dentures?✅

Unlike traditional dentures, full mouth implants:

• Are fixed and do not move

• Preserve jawbone health

• Feel more like natural teeth

• Offer superior comfort and confidence
