Replacing All Teeth

The timeline is different for every patient, and we will make sure you know exactly what to expect from your treatment plan. In many cases, a temporary set of teeth can be attached the same day your implants are placed, so you can have a smile while you heal. Over the following months, the implants fuse with your jawbone to create a strong foundation before your final teeth are secured. Throughout each phase, we will inform you and support you so you know what to expect. 

Many patients who have experienced bone loss are still good candidates for implant-supported teeth. When the jaw needs additional support, a procedure such as bone grafting can rebuild the foundation, so implants have something strong to anchor to. Imaging technology allows us to evaluate your bone more precisely and design a plan according to these findings. Even if you have been told elsewhere that you are not a candidate, we still encourage you to come in for a consultation to review all of your options. 

We use gentle surgical techniques and offer several anesthesia options, including sedation, so your procedure can be as relaxed as possible. Any tenderness afterward is usually mild and well-managed for most people. If you are nervous about the process, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with us. We can put you at ease about each step and give you more detailed information about the procedure and recovery process.

To care for your new teeth, you will brush and clean just like with natural teeth, using good daily habits to keep the surrounding gums healthy. Some patients may benefit from additional steps, such as using a water flosser or interproximal brushes to clean around the restoration. Regular periodontal maintenance visits are also important to allow us to check your implants and keep everything in good condition. We will show you how to care for your smile and provide recommendations so protecting your investment is easy and stress-free. 

With the right care, dental implants can be a long-term solution and last for decades. The implants are made from durable materials that integrate with your bone to form a lasting foundation. The visible teeth attached to them are built to withstand everyday use, but may need occasional maintenance. We recommend consistent home care and regular visits. We will guide you through all of this during your appointment to prevent you from feeling overwhelmed. 

Coverage varies depending on your plan. Some policies may contribute to part of the treatment. Full-mouth restoration is an investment in your health beyond just the appearance of your teeth, as poor dental health can contribute to many systemic diseases like diabetes, while healthy teeth can contribute to your well-being and quality of life. We will walk you through all of your financial options so you can enjoy the benefits of implant-supported teeth.
