What Are Full Mouth Implants?
Full mouth dental implants are utilized to replace the top or lower arch of teeth with a single bridge. For people with sufficient jaw bone structure, full dental implants are the best option. The term “All-on-6” refers to the placement of six implants in sites of the mouth with the most bone volume.
You’ll get a full arch bridge made to look like your natural teeth. This procedure aids in the restoration of look and functioning by giving a biting power that is comparable to that of natural teeth. The bridge also restores the proper height between your upper and lower jaws by providing appropriate support for your cheek and lip muscles.

Diagnostic Tests
The diagnostic images are used to plan the surgery. We determine if you may need bone grafting. If you do need bone grafts, we do this before implant surgery. This gives you time to heal. Dr. Umanoff can discuss the procedure for bone grafting in more detail. He will advise you of the additional costs and time needed for surgery. The 3D and 2D images are manipulated to determine the optimal placement for each implant.
During your first visit, your dentist plans treatment outcomes. Dr. Umanoff can plan your implant bridge, ensuring it provides excellent aesthetics. We make sure you can eat and talk comfortably. Then, a custom-made surgical stent or template is used during surgery.
Placing Full Dental Implants
The custom-made surgical stent ensures your treatment goes according to plan. We ensure each implant is inserted to the correct depth and angulation. Once inserted, healing caps cover the new teeth. Healing caps protect teeth and make sure they are undisturbed. This gives your new teeth time to heal and bond with your jawbone. We can create a temporary prosthesis before surgery or adapt an existing denture to wear during this period.
Fitting Your Implant Teeth
Once the implants have integrated and fused with your bone, we attach special connectors to the implants. Your permanent teeth are fitted onto the implants and screwed or cemented in place. Large implant bridges are screwed onto dental implants. We cover the screws with tooth-colored composite resin. It is a technique that allows for easy revivability of the bridge should it require maintenance or cleaning.

The potential need for bone grafting can increase the cost of treatment.
The success rate for full-mouth dental implant treatment is high. Every patient is evaluated for their suitability to ensure success.
What Is the Recovery Time After the Procedure?
You will be able to go to work the next day after the procedure. Over-the-counter medications can be recommended to relieve pain. Healing is a complex process that varies from person to person. But the approximate full mouth restoration recovery time varies between four to six months.
How to Clean Full Mouth Dental Implants?
If you want to ensure the longevity of your implants, you must keep your new teeth bacteria and plaque-free. Implant failure is generally caused by bacteria and plaque, which can lead to infection in the tissues. Maintaining proper oral hygiene is crucial. Effective hygiene tips that can help you keep your new teeth clean are:
Brush at least twice a day with a soft-bristle toothbrush;
Use a nylon coated brush to clean hard-to-reach places;
Floss daily with unwaxed tape or implant-specific floss;
Do not use high-abrasive toothpaste.
What Is the Success Rate for Full Mouth Implants?
Full mouth dental implants have a very high success rate and should last for many years. Dental implants can have a success rate of more than 90% after 15 years with adequate care and maintenance, but it’s important to be aware of issues that can impair the treatment’s long-term success. While dental implant whole mouth issues are possible, they are uncommon, especially when the procedure is performed by a competent and skilled implant dentist.
