Full Mouth Dental Implants

This page targets patients researching All-on-4, All-on-6, or implant-supported full-arch bridges as an alternative to complete dentures.

Patients who are fully or largely edentulous and want a fixed, implant-supported full-arch restoration. Quality 100/100 Updated 10 November 2026

Who This Page Is For

Patients who are fully or largely edentulous and want a fixed, implant-supported full-arch restoration.

Who It Is For / Eligibility

  • Fully edentulous patients or those requiring extraction of all remaining teeth.
  • Patients with existing complete dentures experiencing instability or bone resorption.
  • Patients with adequate bone in at least the anterior jaw for implant anchorage.

Documents Required

  • Full-arch CBCT scan to assess residual bone volume in all quadrants.
  • OPG for preliminary screening before CBCT.
  • Medical history, particularly systemic conditions affecting healing.

Step-by-Step Process

  • Comprehensive diagnostic consultation with full records.
  • Surgical guide fabrication from CBCT data.
  • Implant placement surgery under local anaesthesia or sedation.
  • Provisional immediate-load prosthesis delivered; final prosthesis after osseointegration.

Timelines & Deadlines

Provisional teeth are often delivered on the day of surgery or within 48 hours. The final prosthesis is typically placed three to six months later after full integration.

Penalties & Common Failure States

  • Complete dentures accelerate underlying bone resorption — implants stop and partially reverse this process.
  • Denture instability impairs chewing efficiency and nutrition, especially in elderly patients.

Pro Tips

  • Start dental implants work only after one owner has collected the core records needed for osseointegration.
  • Treat titanium implant as a review workflow rather than a last-day filing task so mismatches surface before deadlines tighten.
  • Write down the commercial or compliance reason behind unusual items instead of leaving the explanation inside email threads or memory.
  • Keep the latest working papers, acknowledgements, and follow-up notes together so the next filing cycle or notice response starts from evidence, not reconstruction.
  • If the issue affects a decision, deadline, approval, or customer outcome, escalate the ambiguity before submission instead of normalising rework into the monthly process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?

All-on-4 uses four implants to support a full arch, typically with two angled posterior implants to avoid the sinus or nerve. All-on-6 uses six implants for greater load distribution and is often preferred for heavier bites or posterior extension.

Can I get full-mouth implants if I have bone loss?

Significant bone loss does not necessarily prevent full-arch implants. Angled implants (as in All-on-4) can avoid areas of resorption, and bone grafts or zygomatic implants are options in severe cases. A CBCT scan is required to determine what is possible.

How long does the healing period take before the final prosthesis?

Osseointegration typically takes three to six months. During this time a provisional restoration is worn. The final bridge or prosthesis is fitted only after integration is confirmed radiographically and clinically.
