When are Full Mouth Implants Needed?
Despite your best intentions to keep your teeth for life, you may face the consequences of major tooth loss someday. Losing most or all of your teeth can seriously impact your oral health. At Our Town Dental in Peterborough, New Hampshire, we can restore your smile and oral health with full mouth dental implants. Dr. Jihae Yang is your go-to dentist for all on X dental implants near me. Here are some questions we’re often asked about full mouth dental implant treatment.
How do dental implants work?
Dental implants have three parts: a titanium post to support your new tooth, a restoration to replace your lost tooth, and an abutment to connect the two. The titanium posts, also called implants, are positioned inside your jaw through an implant surgery. There, they fuse with your jawbone to become an artificial tooth root. When the fusing process is complete, Dr. Yang will attach abutments (connectors) to your implants and, lastly, your new teeth.
What are full-mouth dental implants?
Full-mouth implants replace an entire arch of teeth in your upper or lower jaw or all your teeth. After evaluating your condition, Dr. Yang can determine how many implants will be needed to restore the stability and permanence of your smile.

How many implants are used for full mouth restoration?Â
If you qualify for all-on-4 implant treatment, four implants are all you need to support an entire upper or lower teeth arch. The implants are placed in key locations in your jaw to provide optimal stability for your smile. There are all-on-X dental implants for more complex treatments, which give Dr. Yang greater flexibility in choosing the number of implants to use for your procedure. We can use as many as eight implants to support an arch of new teeth if necessary. The extra implants will enhance your smile’s stability, security, and functionality.
How long does the implant process take?
Treatment times vary depending on your capacity for healing and the number of implants you receive. If you need additional procedures like tooth extraction or bone grafting, this will add to your treatment time. Generally, the full mouth dental implant process can take 4 to 9 months to complete. Dr. Yang can give you an estimated timeframe for completing your treatment during your initial consultation.
Is implant surgery painful?Â
Dr. Yang will use local anesthesia for your surgery to ensure you feel no pain. We also offer sedation options to relieve any anxiety or stress you may be experiencing about undergoing implant surgery.    Â
How long do dental implants last?Â
That depends on how well you care for your new teeth. Good brushing and flossing habits and routine dental cleanings can keep your implants strong for life. Â
