Full Mouth Dental Implants

Oral surgeons have the advanced training to handle the surgical complexity of implant placement, especially when bone loss or medical risk factors are present. Oral surgeons also offer IV sedation and general anesthesia for comfort and peace of mind, and coordinate care seamlessly with your prosthodontist or restorative dentist.

Prosthodontists are specialists in restorative dentistry and can expertly coordinate your entire full mouth restoration, from start to finish. They focus entirely on creating the most natural, functional, and esthetically pleasing final result—custom-tailored to your facial structure and lifestyle.

While both implant-supported dentures and snap-on dentures use dental implants for stability, there are key differences in how they function, feel, and are maintained.

Implant-supported dentures are permanently secured to dental implants and are not removed by the patient. They don’t come out at night, don’t shift during meals, and feel more like natural teeth. Because they’re directly anchored to the jawbone, they provide strong bite force, better chewing efficiency, and help preserve bone health over time. They’re often referred to as “fixed” full arch dental implants or “all on 4” implant systems.

Snap-on dentures, also called implant-retained or overdentures, are removable. They “snap” into place on top of a few implants using a specialized attachment system. While more stable than traditional dentures, they still need to be removed daily for cleaning and may require periodic adjustments as the attachments wear over time. They can be a more cost-effective option, but they may not offer the same comfort, longevity, or natural feel as fixed solutions.

Choosing the right option depends on your oral health, jawbone structure, lifestyle preferences, and budget. Your surgeon and prosthodontist can help guide you toward the solution that best meets your needs.

The cost of full mouth dental implants, or full mouth reconstruction, can vary based on several factors, including the number of implants needed, the materials used, your oral health condition, and whether bone grafting is required. Additional elements such as lab fees, anesthesia, and the location of the practice also play a role.

Dental insurance typically offers limited coverage for full mouth implants, often focusing on diagnostic or preparatory procedures. Some plans may partially reimburse the surgical portion or prosthetic elements. It’s important to consult us for a detailed breakdown and pre-authorization support. Check if your plan is accepted on our insurance information page.

Full mouth dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing all missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They use multiple implants, typically made of biocompatible titanium to support a full arch prosthesis. The replacement teeth themselves are usually crafted from acrylic, porcelain, or zirconia, offering both durability and a natural appearance.
