Types of Full Mouth Dental Implants

It's completely possible to replace a full mouth of missing teeth with dental implants. But that doesn't mean that you need a dental implant for each gap - because if that were true, you could spend up to £62,000 replacing each and every single adult tooth.Thankfully, with the revolutionary invention of full-mouth dental implants, which use between three and six dental implants to hold a bridge of up to 14 teeth, the maximum you'd spend for both jaws would be a maximum of £25,000 and a minimum of £4,900. Not bad, right? See costs.There are two types of full-mouth dental implants: one that features an implant-supported bridge of fixed teeth and an implant-supported full denture that's removable. To help you fully explore your options, we'll break down each type of full-mouth implant below so you can choose the one that will work best for you.

Full-mouth dental implant options

Implant-retained dentures are removable dentures anchored to dental implants to improve the stability and function of your prosthetic. They are suitable for both full and partial arch restorations and are often only removed to clean. Requires an abundance of bone in specific areas.
All-on-4 dental implants, or Teeth in a Day, are often the go-to solution for patients with insufficient bone and prefer teeth to be immediately loaded. All-on-4 typically uses four implants placed strategically into both the upper and lower jaws to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth, eliminating the need for bone grafts.
Subperiosteal implants are an alternative for patients with insufficient bone. They use a metal framework placed under the gum line above the bone. However, they are less commonly used today.
Zygomatic implants are often recommended for patients with severe upper jaw bone loss. These longer dental implants anchor into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone) to support a full arch of fake teeth.

Each full-mouth implant solution addresses different types of edentulous tooth loss and different severities of bone loss. Each type of treatment has its features, benefits and limitations. However, all of them are palateless and stable, offering the least degree of movement compared to traditional replacement options like dentures.

Costs for full-mouth dental implants

The costs for replacing a full mouth of missing teeth can vary, depending on which type of treatment you choose, the number of implants placed, and the number of teeth required. Additional factors can also increase the cost; for example, if you need prior procedures to make implants possible, like dental bone grafts, or opt for the cheaper implant-retained denture treatment, which will require abundant bone. That said, the cost can also be higher if you require rehabilitation of both jaws instead of just one.Here's the cost for a half and full set of implants:[ninja_tables id="18077"]All full-mouth dental implant options are available via 0% finance over 12 months.

Alternatives to full mouth implants

Sometimes full mouth dental implants aren't the first choice for patients, especially if you're on a budget. However, alternative treatment options for edentulous patients only include complete dentures, which will rely on suction to stay in place. Unless you have a few healthy teeth remaining, you might be a candidate for Cobalt Chrome Dentures instead.The advantage of full-mouth dental implants is that they are palates, exposing the palate, which means patients can enjoy full taste sensations. Full-mouth implants are also dentures you can wear all the time; they do not move or slip out like conventional dentures, which might often require adhesives to stay in place.
