Are you tired of living with severe tooth decay? Embarrassed about missing teeth, or ill-fitting dentures? Has your quality of life taken a hit because you can’t eat, drink or even smile like you once could?

At The Good Dentist, we understand how these issues can affect your confidence and wellbeing. We’re here to provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about the transformative power of full mouth dental implants. Trust us to restore your smile and help you regain the comfort and self-assurance you deserve.

Every patient is unique, therefore it is important we evaluate the need for whole mouth dental implants after a thorough examination of our patient’s specific oral health condition. Consideration of the individual’s overall health, bone density, and other factors determine the best treatment approach.

What is a Full Mouth Dental Implant?

A full mouth of dental implants is more common than you might think. They offer a permanent (and fixed) solution to replace upper and lower teeth for individuals who have experienced significant tooth loss or have extensive dental issues.

A full mouth implant is a comprehensive dental restoration that replaces all missing teeth with four or more (often referred to as All-On-4 or All-On-X) implant-supported prosthetics. It involves strategically placing dental implant posts (titanium screws) throughout your jawbone to create a stable foundation. Once the implant posts have fused with the bone, custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures are attached, restoring your smile’s function and aesthetics.

Benefits of Full Mouth Dental Implants

There are several reasons why someone might require a full mouth of dental implants. Consider the following circumstances and the associated benefits.

Complete Tooth Loss

People who have lost all of their natural teeth due to decay, gum disease, trauma, or other reasons may benefit from a full mouth of dental implants. Implants can provide a stable and secure foundation for replacing all of the missing teeth with implant-supported dentures or a fixed bridge.

Severe Dental Decay or Damage

Individuals with extensively decayed or damaged teeth that cannot be restored with traditional dental treatments may require full dental implants. Implants offer a durable and long-lasting solution to replace severely compromised teeth.

Periodontal (Gum) Disease

Advanced gum disease can lead to tooth loss and the deterioration of the supporting bone in the jaw. In such cases, full dental implants can help restore the function and aesthetics of the mouth by providing a solid foundation for new prosthetic teeth.

Bite Problems and Occlusion

Misaligned or improperly aligned teeth can cause bite problems, leading to difficulties in chewing, speaking, and overall dental functionality. Whole mouth dental implants can help correct these issues by replacing the teeth with properly aligned implant-supported restorations.

Full Mouth Implant Process

Patient care and comfort are of the utmost importance at The Good Dentist, Newcastle, which is why our skilled team will thoroughly communicate the full mouth implant process and gain your consent prior to beginning the treatment.

We start the process with a thorough initial consultation, reviewing your dental and medical history, x-rays, and 3D CT scans, to create a personalised treatment plan.
The treatment planning and preparation phase is crucial to ensure successful implant placement. We will explain the process to you, outlining the estimated duration and the possibility of additional procedures like tooth extraction, bone grafting, or sinus lift, if necessary. You will also be informed of the dental implant costs.
During the implant placement stage, we use advanced implant placement techniques to support a full set of teeth. We use high-quality materials such as titanium or zirconia, which are biocompatible, ensuring your implants are safe and long-lasting.
After placement, the healing process around the implants is essential, and we will explain the detailed attachment of the abutment that acts as the foundation for the new teeth. Finally, we fit your dental crown or a full arch prosthesis, providing you with the aesthetic and functional benefits you desire.
Ongoing care is crucial to ensure the longevity of your full mouth dental implants. We will provide you with comprehensive post-procedure care guidelines, dietary advice and how regularly dental check-ups are required.

The average duration for the entire procedure can vary from six months to over a year, but we will be with you every step of the way.
