Tooth loss is not just an aesthetic issue—it can also lead to serious health problems such as difficulty chewing, speech impairments, and digestive disorders. These effects are even more pronounced in individuals who have lost all of their teeth. Missing teeth may cause facial sagging, jawbone loss, and a significant decline in self-confidence. Psychologically, it can result in social withdrawal and discomfort in expressing oneself.
Thanks to advanced dental technology, there are now permanent and functional solutions to these problems. Full mouth dental implant treatment restores the natural appearance and function of teeth, significantly improving the patient’s quality of life. Fixed prosthetics offer a strong bite, a healthy jaw structure, and a confident, aesthetic smile.
What Is Full Mouth Dental Implant Treatment?
Full mouth dental implant treatment involves placing fixed prosthetic teeth to replace all missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Typically, 6 to 8 titanium implants are placed into the jawbone, and porcelain or zirconium crowns are mounted onto them to create a strong, natural-looking, and long-lasting set of teeth.
Compared to removable dentures, this method provides a much more stable and comfortable solution. It also helps prevent jawbone loss by supporting the bone and offers a sensation similar to that of natural teeth, greatly enhancing daily comfort.
Who Is It Suitable For?
Full mouth implants are an ideal solution for individuals who:
-
Have lost all of their teeth
Suitable for those who lost their teeth due to aging, trauma, advanced gum disease, or genetic factors. -
Have severely damaged teeth that cannot be saved
If the remaining teeth are affected by widespread decay, root damage, or infection, implant treatment can be considered. -
Cannot tolerate removable dentures
Patients who experience discomfort, movement, or speech/eating difficulties with dentures greatly benefit from fixed implant structures. -
Are at risk of jawbone loss
Implants help stop bone resorption caused by tooth loss and preserve facial structure.
How Is Full Mouth Implant Treatment Performed?
The treatment is planned based on the patient’s jaw structure, bone density, and general health. Common approaches include:
Traditional Full Mouth Implant Method
6 to 8 implants are placed in each jaw. After the healing period (3–6 months), permanent porcelain or zirconium teeth are attached.
All-on-4 Implants
Only four implants are used to support a fixed prosthesis. Ideal for patients with low bone density and helps avoid bone grafting. Temporary teeth can be placed the same day for faster results.
All-on-6 Implants
Involves six implants and is recommended for patients with higher bite force needs. Offers more support and better long-term durability.
The most appropriate method is determined after a thorough evaluation by the dentist.
