What Are Full-Mouth Dental Implants?
Full-mouth dental implants are a leading-edge restoration option for patients who have lost many or all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. By placing multiple implant fixtures to support a fixed prosthetic arch, this approach restores a strong, natural-looking, fully functional set of teeth like your original ones.
Methods for Full-Mouth Implant Restoration
All-on-4® Implants
- Utilises 4 implant posts per arch
- Ideal for patients with significant bone loss
- Often no additional bone grafting required
All-on-6® Implants
- Uses 6 implant posts per arch
- Offers greater stability and better force distribution
- Longer potential lifespan compared with All-on-4
Multiple Implants + Fixed Porcelain Teeth
- Typically 8–12 implants per arch depending on bone quality
- Provides the strongest support and longest durability for full-mouth restoration
Outstanding Benefits of Full-Mouth Dental Implants
