Full mouth dental implants are for those who have lost or are about to lose all of their teeth in their upper or lower jaw. Please select the image below that looks closest to your mouth:
Full mouth dental implants are a fixed teeth replacement solution used to replace all of your upper or lower teeth.
This dental implant treatment involves the placement of at least four (sometimes six) dental implants into the jaw to hold a natural-looking tooth bridge in place. And the best part? The tooth bridge can be connected to the dental implants in as little as 3 days after implant surgery.
This means you can go from struggling with broken down or no teeth to a fixed set of beautiful, functional teeth in a matter of days.

Yes, dental implants can be used to replace all of your top or bottom teeth. However, single implants are not used to replace each single tooth. Rather, the set of fixed teeth is supported by just 4 to 6 implants.
Most healthy people, regardless of their age, are good candidates for full mouth dental implants.

The best way to find out if this treatment option is right for you is with a dental implants consultation — take our quiz to see if you qualify for a FREE consult (normally valued at $500).
The key difference that affects the cost of full mouth dental implants lies in the final replacement teeth you receive. The Essential Care Package includes a final implant supported tooth bridge made from acrylic over a titanium framework. This tooth bridge offers a beautiful natural-looking result but will wear down faster, especially if you have a strong bite or bruxism. The Premium Care Package includes a final implant supported tooth bridge made from zirconia over a titanium framework which offers the most lifelike results with superior durability and strength.

In most cases, the dental implants full mouth can be placed in a single day and the surgery takes around 3-4 hours per jaw. A few (usually 3 to 7) days later, you will return to have either your temporary tooth bridge fitted or your final acrylic tooth bridge fitted (only suitable for some patients under the Essential Care Package). Patients who receive a temporary tooth bridge will return once their jaw bone and gums have healed (approx. 6 months later) to have their final tooth bridge fitted. See a complete rundown of the All on 4 procedure here.
Like all surgical procedures, the full mouth dental implant procedure does have some potential risks (learn all about the full mouth dental implants pros and cons here). However, it’s reassuring to know that this is one of the most successful dental treatments when planned and performed by an experienced dentist, like Dr George Connell, and is reported to have a success rate of around 95-97%. While complications may occur, they are rare.
Rest assured that you won’t feel any pain or discomfort during the implant placement procedure. Local anesthetic is used to numb the mouth and most patients also choose to have treatment under IV sedation (also called twilight sedation or sleep dentistry) so they feel relaxed and comfortable during the procedure. Afterwards, you may have some discomfort, swelling and bruising for a few days, which can be easily managed with the pain relief medication provided to you. We recommend that you take at least a week off work during your full mouth dental implants healing time to rest and adjust to your new replacement teeth.
With proper dental care and maintenance, including a good oral hygiene routine and regular check-ups by your dentist, dental implants should last for many decades. The lifespan of your implant supported teeth will depend on the material they’re made from. If you opt for the acrylic tooth bridge in the Essential Care Package, this is a less durable material which can wear down quicker and may need to be replaced after 5 to 10 years due to normal wear and tear. If you opt for the Premium Care Package, the zirconia tooth bridge is a much more robust and long term option and should last for several decades with the right care.
