What are Full Mouth Dental Implants?

Full-mouth dental implants are designed for patients who require comprehensive restoration of both upper and lower teeth and typically refer to the replacement of all teeth in a patient’s mouth. This advanced treatment option involves the placement of multiple dental implants throughout the mouth, followed by the attachment of custom-made ceramic teeth.

Full mouth dental implants are ideal for patients who have lost the majority of their natural teeth due to decay, gum disease, or trauma. By replacing an entire set of teeth with patients can improve chewing ability, speech clarity, and facial aesthetics. Full Mouth Dental Implants provides a permanent solution for tooth loss, eliminating the need for removable dentures and providing a sense of confidence and self-assurance.


What are Full-Arch Dental Implants?

Full-Arch Dental Implants are a versatile solution for patients seeking restoration of a single arch or multiple arches with dental implants. Whether you're missing teeth in your upper jaw, lower jaw, or both, Full-Arch implants offer a reliable and natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures. 

Unlike full mouth dental implants, which address both upper and lower jaws simultaneously, full-arch implants target one arch at a time. This approach may be suitable for patients who have lost teeth in only one arch or who prefer to undergo treatment in stages.

With Full-Arch Dental Implants, you gain the freedom to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Dr. Andrew Farkas will work closely with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your unique needs and goals, ensuring optimal outcomes and patient satisfaction.


What are All-on-4® is a registered trademark of Nobel Biocare or All-on-X dental implants?

All-on-4® and All-on-X dental implants are innovative solutions for patients who have lost multiple teeth or require full-arch restoration. These techniques involve the placement of dental implants to support a fixed crown, a dental bridge or a denture to replace an entire arch of missing teeth.

The primary difference between All-on-4® is a registered trademark of Nobel Biocare and All-on-X lies in the number of implants used and their placement:

All-on-4® is a registered trademark of Nobel Biocare Dental Implants:

This technique utilizes four dental implants per arch to support a full set of prosthetic teeth. The implants are surgically placed in sections of the jawbone that has the highest bone density, maximizing stability and reducing the need for bone grafting procedures. All-on-4® implants are ideal for patients with moderate to severe tooth loss who desire a fixed restoration with minimal surgical intervention.

All-on-X Dental Implants:

The term "All-on-X" encompasses a range of implant-supported restoration techniques that go beyond the traditional All-on-4® approach. Instead of being limited to four implants, All-on-X allows for the placement of additional implants (often five or more) to enhance stability and support for the prosthetic teeth. The "X" in All-on-X represents the variable number of implants used, tailored to each patient's specific needs and anatomical considerations.

All-on-X dental implants offer significant advantages over traditional removable dentures, including improved stability, functionality, and aesthetics. These techniques provide patients with a fixed solution that closely mimics the look and feel of natural teeth, restoring confidence in their smile and overall oral health.
