Living with multiple missing or damaged teeth can significantly impact your comfort and happiness. While dentures can temporarily restore your confidence, they lack certain benefits that full-mouth dental implants provide. Functioning near-identically to natural tooth roots, dental implants help preserve and stimulate the growth of your jawbone, which not only promotes better bone health but also contributes to a more youthful appearance.
You may be familiar with All-on-4 dental implants, but in some cases, six implants may be necessary instead of four. We also offer full-arch implants that can snap in and out for added convenience. Each patient's case is unique, and we work closely with every individual to create a personalized treatment plan customized to achieve optimal oral health in your situation.
Only four implants are used to support a permanent set of teeth.
In some cases, we may need to use six implants to support a permanent set of teeth.
Implant-supported dentures (snap in) are a less expensive option that uses two to four implants to support a removable set of teeth.
The All-on-4 dental implant technique is a cutting-edge approach used for the fixed placement of a full set of dentures. It is particularly beneficial for patients who have lost all their teeth as it allows them to recover the ability to chew, speak, and smile without requiring a bone grafting procedure.
Conventional full-mouth dental implant procedures require the support of six to eight dental implants. However, the All-on-4 technique requires as few as four. One of the reasons this specialized technique is not offered at most dental offices is that two of the posterior implants must be positioned at a 45-degree angle to ensure maximum contact with the existing bone tissue. This enables the implants to offer superior denture stability, even in cases where the jawbone suffers from long-term bone loss.
"I had my entire mouth fixed with dental implants in just one day. I'm smiling, I'm happy, I'm more confident. My only regret is that I didn't get it done sooner."
Dr. Leo Wilson's story exemplifies the life-changing benefits of All-on-4 dental implants. After struggling with dental issues that affected his self-esteem and prevented him from eating the foods he wanted, he made the decision to undergo the transformative Full Mouth All-on-4 procedure.
Our full-mouth dental implant procedures enable treatment for a wide range of patients. You may be a candidate if you experience any of the following:
If you find traditional dentures uncomfortable and they hinder you from enjoying your favorite foods, full-mouth implants can be a transformative solution. They can restore up to 98% of natural dental functions, significantly outperforming traditional dentures.
Struggling with extensive tooth loss or decay that traditional methods can't fix? Full-mouth implants provide a lasting solution, eliminating the need for temporary fixes and repeated procedures while ensuring a strong and enduring smile.
Experiencing continuous issues and expenses from failed bridges or partial dentures? Full-mouth implants are a durable, cost-saving solution, providing stable restoration without the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
We offer our patients a detailed treatment approach and help them with cost-effective payment solutions
A single implant(s) can support a crown to replace just one missing tooth, which is significantly more durable and natural than traditional bridges.
Starting at
$95 Per Month.
Occasionally, a patient is missing more than one tooth but still has healthy gums and surrounding teeth. In this case, two or more implants are placed, and the crowns are attached, leaving the teeth intact.
Starting at
$195 Per Month.
Patients who need to replace a full upper and/or lower set of teeth can now opt for full mouth implants. Our oral surgeon will place 4 implants and then attach a full arch of teeth.
Starting at
$300 Per Month.
Full Mouth Dental Implants offer several advantages over dentures and traditional implants.
Traditional removable dentures depend on natural suction or dental adhesive to stay in place, yet they can still slip or shift. In contrast, All-on-4 implants are securely anchored to the jawbone, providing a solid foundation for the new dentures. This ensures that implant-supported teeth remain stable without slipping out or moving around.
Compared to removable dentures, All-on-4 implants offer a superior solution for missing teeth, promoting optimal oral and bone health. Acting as artificial roots, these implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing it from weakening and losing density. This allows patients to avoid additional tooth problems common with other dentures.
Removable dentures typically need to be replaced every five to seven years. In contrast, our All-on-4 dental implant dentures are made from zirconia, the strongest material available, and can last for decades with proper care and regular dental checkups. Additionally, the titanium implants themselves have the potential to last a lifetime.
Full-mouth restoration is a comprehensive dental treatment designed to restore both function and aesthetics to your entire mouth. Options for this procedure include All-on-4 Dental Implants, Snap-On dentures, and traditional dentures. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision about the best solution for your full-mouth reconstruction needs by evaluating the benefits, drawbacks, and unique features of each option.
All-on-4 dental implants are a popular option for full-mouth reconstruction, offering considerable advantages for patients with suboptimal bone density. This innovative technique involves strategically placing four implants in the jaw to create a stable foundation for a full set of teeth. This modern approach allows patients to achieve a natural-looking smile and restore their natural biting, chewing, and speaking habits.
Secured permanently using four or more implants
Guards against bone loss
Maintains natural biting and tasting functions
Delivery of final Zirconia prosthetic in as few as 12 weeks
Lifelong durability with appropriate maintenance
Snap-On dentures, while removable and made of acrylic like traditional dentures, have a unique attachment mechanism that snaps onto implants in the jaw via a "button" connection. This sleeker design enhances taste perception compared to conventional dentures and offers added stability. However, this treatment also has some disadvantages. Consider this breakdown of Snap-On dentures:
Removable prosthetic
Held in place with at least two implants
Retains only partial bite force, leading to potential taste impairment if covering palate
Requires six months of healing with traditional dentures before receiving final Snap-On prosthetic
"Button" connection may wear out over time and need replacing
Average lifespan of approximately 5 years
Traditional dentures are removable sets of teeth that rest on your gums, with a gum-toned acrylic base holding the false teeth in place. While their fabrication is quick, straightforward, and cost-effective compared to more advanced options, they might feel bulky and uncomfortable. Traditional dentures might trigger gag reflexes, impair tasting, complicate speaking, and irritate gums due to movement-induced friction.
Consider these factors when deciding whether traditional dentures are right for your situation:
Removable but with a risk of falling out unexpectedly
Offers no protection against bone loss
Palate coverage significantly impairs taste
Substantial reduction in bite force (soft food diet might be necessary)
May induce discomfort and gum soreness
A lifespan of approximately 5 years
When it comes to any medical procedure, cost is a major concern for every patient. At Keys Dental Specialists, we understand this and strive to provide clear information about what our treatments include and how much they cost. We recognize the importance of budgeting, and we always try to be considerate of our patients' financial situations.
Generally, full-mouth dental implants can range from $17,000 to $25,000 per arch, depending on the materials used and the complexity of the procedure. During your initial consultation, we will provide you with a detailed treatment plan outlining the services you will receive and the final cost to make sure there are no surprises.
Factors to consider that can impact the cost of dental implants:
Experience of the dentist (the more experienced, the more valuable their time)
Number of implants required
Quality and brand of the implants
Material used for the final bridge (zirconia is the best but is not cheap)
