What are full-mouth dental implants?

Full-mouth dental implants are a great option for people who have all damaged or missing teeth. Also teeth which are due to fail in a short span of time are also considered as teeth with limited potential.

Full mouth implants, also called as All on X implant treatment is a type of treatment designed for people who want to restore their chewing ability, esthetics and function with the best possible replacement option.

Who is a candidate for full mouth dental implants?

Patients who fit into this treatment category are those patients who have severely compromised teeth, patients who have no teeth and patients who wear dentures. Dental implants are the closest possible and longest lasting replacement to missing teeth. They act and function like a natural tooth or teeth, restoring your physical and mental health.

The Step-by Step Procedure

The procedure of getting full-mouth implants is usually done in stages.

Step 1: Initial Consultation is usually done at the clinic with the patient and the doctor discussing the different types of treatment options, what to expect while the treatment is ongoing. Also the technical aspects of the patients interarch space( space between the jaws for the final prosthesis decides the type of final prosthesis and any modifications to be made during the surgery, the smile line( to determine the amount of teeth showing when a person smiles fully, to avoid any transition visibilty between the gums and the final teeth). The patients general health is also discussed to assess if he or she is the right candidate
Step 2: Planning and Scans – A Cone Beam CT scan is first done to ensure that the condition of the jawbone and the teeth is completely visualized. Also the number of implants required and how to place then, the angulations and any anatomic limitations are also reviewed.
Step 3: The Implant Surgery – Under local anesthesia the implants are placed with all the surgical planning done. The essential step is to ensure that implants are placed with minimal trauma and certain amount of fit called primary stability to ensure that a temporary prosthesis can also be delivered on the same day or in the consequent days.
Step 4: Healing Time – Generally dental implants are made of titanium or alloys containing titanium. Titanium makes the implant extremely biocompatible or tissue friendly such that natural bone grows over it and they become a part of our body. This process generally takes 3-6 months depending on the patients bone density. During this period a patient gets a fixed temporary prosthesis to be able to chew and go about their daily life.
Step 5: Final Restorative process– during the final restorative process new scans or impressions are made and then sent to the lab. The temp prosthesis is reviewed and discussed if the patient was comfortable with the appearance and performance of the same. If yes the temp prosthesis aids in the fabrication of a final prosthesis.

Is bone grafting necessary for full mouth implants? Usually for full mouth fixed implants bone grafting is not used. These procedures are also called graftless options as the implants are usually anchored in areas of high bone density and at certain angles to ensure there is bone all around the implant surface.
