Can You Replace All Teeth with Implants? Full Mouth Solutions from Dr. Visot
If you’ve lost all or most of your teeth, you may wonder whether it’s possible to replace them all with implants. The answer is yes. Thanks to advancements in dental technology, full-mouth dental implants are a proven and effective solution for restoring your entire smile.
At Dentist of Woodland Hills, Dr. Alexander Visot offers a variety of full-mouth implant options, including All-on-4, implant-supported dentures, and custom full-arch restorations. This guide explains what each option involves, their benefits, and what to expect throughout the process.
What Are Full Mouth Dental Implants?
Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots. They are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone, providing stable support for crowns, bridges, or dentures. For full-mouth restoration, implants support an entire arch of replacement teeth—either fixed or removable.
Unlike traditional dentures, implants prevent bone loss, offer better stability, and feel like natural teeth. Full-mouth implants restore bite strength and facial structure, eliminating common denture issues like slippage, sore spots, or difficulty chewing.
Options for Replacing All Teeth with Implants
1. All-on-4 Dental Implants
All-on-4 is a fixed implant-supported bridge system that uses four implants to support an entire arch of teeth. Two implants are placed vertically in the front, and two are angled in the back to maximize bone contact.
Benefits:
- Teeth in a Day: Get a temporary fixed bridge immediately.
- No need for bone grafting in most cases.
- Permanent, stable, and non-removable.
2. Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures (overdentures) snap onto 2–4 implants per arch. They’re removable for cleaning but much more stable than traditional dentures.
Benefits:
- Improved comfort and function.
- Affordable alternative to full bridges.
- Preserves bone and improves fit over time.
3. All-on-6 or Full-Arch Implants
Some cases require 5–6 implants per arch for greater support. These fixed restorations use zirconia or acrylic bridges for a highly aesthetic, long-lasting result.
Benefits:
- Greater durability and support.
- Fixed teeth with enhanced bite force.
- Long-term, natural-looking smile.
Benefits of Full Mouth Implants
- Stability: No shifting or slipping like dentures.
- Bone Preservation: Prevents jawbone loss.
- Natural Feel: Look and function like real teeth.
- Improved Chewing: Eat your favorite foods again.
- Long-Term Value: Can last decades with proper care.
