What Are Full Mouth Dental Implants, and How Do They Work?

What Are Full Mouth Dental Implants

If you’re missing most or all of your teeth, or struggling with unstable dentures, you may be searching for a long-term, natural-looking solution. Full mouth dental implants offer exactly that—a permanent, life-changing restoration of your smile, chewing ability, and confidence.

At Zirc Teeth, we specialize in full mouth dental implants using the latest technology, advanced techniques, and a personalized approach. Let’s break down what full mouth dental implants are, how they work, and what your journey with Zirc Teeth will look like.

What Are Full Mouth Dental Implants?

Full mouth dental implants are a complete tooth replacement system for patients who are missing all or most of their natural teeth. Unlike traditional dentures that sit on top of your gums, dental implants are surgically placed into your jawbone, offering a secure, permanent solution that feels and functions like natural teeth.

At Zirc Teeth, we typically use All-on-4 or All-on-6 techniques, meaning we anchor a full arch of prosthetic teeth to just 4 to 6 titanium implants per arch.

How Do Full Mouth Implants Work?

Here’s a simplified overview of how the process works:

  • Implant Placement: Titanium implants are surgically inserted into your jawbone. These implants are artificial tooth roots and form a strong foundation for your new teeth.
  • Osseointegration: Over the next few months, the implants fuse with your bone, ensuring long-term stability and durability.
  • Abutments and Prosthetic Teeth: Once healing is complete, the implants are attached to the implants, which connect them to the full-arch prosthesis (a custom-crafted row of teeth).
  • Final Restoration: Your new teeth are securely attached, adjusted for fit and function, and polished to look natural. The result? A confident, functional smile that can last decades.

Why Choose Full Mouth Dental Implants Over Dentures?

Traditional dentures may offer a quick fix, but they often come with discomfort, slipping, dietary limitations, and ongoing maintenance. Full mouth dental implants, on the other hand, offer several key advantages:

  • Permanent and secure – No need for adhesives or worrying about slippage
  • Natural appearance – Looks and feels just like real teeth
  • Better chewing ability – Eat your favorite foods with confidence
  • Prevents bone loss – Stimulates jthe awbone just like natural roots
  • Long-term value – Though an investment, implants can last a lifetime

Are You a Candidate for Full Mouth Dental Implants?

Most adults in good health are candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates typically:

  • Are missing most or all of their teeth
  • Have sufficient jawbone or are eligible for bone grafting
  • Don’t smoke or are willing to quit during treatment
  • Are in overall good health (to support healing)

During your first visit, Dr. Eskandar will thoroughly assess your suitability for full mouth dental implants.

Am I a Candidate for Full Mouth Dental Implants?

Many people assume they’re not eligible for full mouth dental implants, but the truth is, most adults in good general health are candidates. At Zirc Teeth, we personalize every treatment to your unique needs, which means even if you’ve been told elsewhere that you’re not a candidate, we encourage you to come in for a free consultation with Dr. Eskandar.

Here are some factors we consider when evaluating your candidacy:

You May Be a Good Candidate If:

  • You’re missing most or all of your teeth: Whether due to decay, gum disease, or trauma, full arch implants are an ideal solution for replacing an entire upper or lower set of teeth.
  • You’re frustrated with dentures: If your removable dentures are loose, uncomfortable, or interfere with eating or speaking, implants offer a stable, long-lasting alternative.
  • You have sufficient jawbone or are open to bone grafting: Implants need a healthy foundation. If bone loss is an issue, grafting can help make implants possible.
  • You’re in good overall health: Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or smoking can affect healing. However, many of these risks can be managed with the guidance of your dentist.
  • You’re committed to oral hygiene and follow-up care: Dental implants require long-term maintenance to ensure success, and we’ll support you through every step.

During your initial consultation, Dr. Eskandar will evaluate your mouth using X-rays or 3D scans, review your medical history, and determine if full-mouth dental implants are the right fit for you.

How Much Do Full Mouth Dental Implants Cost?

The cost varies depending on the number of implants, the type of prosthetic used, and whether additional procedures (like bone grafting) are required.

During your free consultation, Dr. Eskandar will explain:

  • Total treatment cost
  • What’s included (scans, surgery, prosthetics, follow-ups)
  • Insurance coverage details
  • Financing and payment plans

At Zirc Teeth, we believe in full transparency, no hidden fees, just honest guidance.
