Full Mouth Dental Implants

Full Mouth Dental Implants: Restoring Your Smile with Definitive Solutions

When multiple dental issues affect your ability to eat, speak, or smile with confidence, a full mouth reconstruction might be the solution you’re looking for. At San Mateo Prosthodontics, a comprehensive treatment plan addresses all your dental problems, giving you the healthy and functional smile you deserve.

Full Mouth Dental Implants and More – What is Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Full mouth reconstruction is a personalized treatment that rebuilds or restores all the teeth in your upper and lower jaws. We customize the treatment plan to your unique needs, respecting your preferences and concerns as an individual. Unlike cosmetic procedures focusing mainly on appearance, full mouth reconstruction tackles serious functional problems while improving your smile. Treatment can range from full mouth dental implants to a combination of dental bridges and other restorative or cosmetic treatments.

Think of it as a complete dental makeover. Your prosthodontist will create a step-by-step plan to fix everything from missing teeth to jaw pain and bite problems.

When Do You Need Full Mouth Reconstruction?

You might benefit from full mouth reconstruction if you:

Have several missing teeth.

Suffer from severe tooth decay, damage, or periodontal disease.

Experience chronic jaw pain or TMJ disorders.

Have worn-down teeth from grinding.

Need to replace failing dental work.

Want to replace uncomfortable dentures.

Many patients come to our restore denture and implant center after years of dental problems have piled up. Often, they’ve tried individual treatments but need a more comprehensive approach.

Treatment Options for Full Mouth Reconstruction

Your reconstruction plan will be unique to your needs, but most include a combination of treatments:

Full Dental Implants

Full dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in your jawbone to replace tooth roots. They provide the strongest, most natural-feeling foundation for replacement teeth.

Better oral health
Relief from chronic pain
Boosted self-confidence

Full mouth dental implants offer a permanent solution for patients missing all their teeth. Unlike removable dentures, implant-supported teeth stay in place and help maintain jawbone health.

Implant-Supported Dentures (Full Mouth Denture Implants)

Full mouth denture implants might be right for you if you’re tired of loose-fitting traditional dentures. These dentures snap onto implants for better stability and chewing power.

With as few as four strategically placed implants, we can support an entire arch of teeth. This option costs less than individual implants for every tooth while still providing many of the same benefits.

Overdentures are removable, but permanent full mouth denture implants are also available. All on 4 and All on 6 dental implants are well-suited to full mouth reconstruction.

Fixed Bridges and Crowns

For patients with some healthy teeth remaining, bridges and crowns can fill gaps and strengthen damaged teeth. These restorations are custom-made to match your natural teeth and can be supported by dental implants. Implants work as anchoring roots to support a crown and bridge unit to “bridge” the gap in your smile. Restorations with bridges and crowns look and feel natural.

Bone Grafting for Full Dental Implants

If you’ve been missing teeth for a while, you might have lost some jawbone. Before placing full dental implants, you may need bone grafting to rebuild the foundation for successful implant placement.

Bone grafting uses specialist materials to promote tissue regeneration. A skilled prosthodontist in San Mateo will plan your treatment to ensure there is a substantial and stable improvement to your jaw before placing full dental implants.

The Full Mouth Reconstruction Process

Your journey to a restored smile typically follows these steps:

Comprehensive evaluation: We’ll examine your teeth, gums, jaws, and bite to identify all issues.

Treatment planning: Your prosthodontist will create a detailed plan, including the sequence of procedures and timeline.

Preparatory treatments: Any needed extractions, periodontal therapy, or bone grafting happen first.

Implant placement: If your plan includes partial or full mouth dental implants, they’re surgically placed and allowed time to integrate with your bone. Healing for full mouth dental implants usually takes between three and six months.

Temporary restorations: You’ll receive functional temporary teeth while your final restorations are being crafted.

Final restorations: Your permanent teeth are placed, adjusted for comfort, and checked for proper function.

Maintenance and follow-up: Regular check-ups ensure your new smile stays healthy.
