Everything You Need to Know About Full Mouth Dental Implants

What Are Full Mouth Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a long-term solution to patients missing teeth because they feel and act just like normal teeth. Typically with singular dental implants, a titanium screw is placed into the jawbone where the missing tooth used to be, using a surgical procedure. A custom-made crown is then attached to replace the missing tooth.

When there is a full arch of teeth missing, to avoid the need for a large number of singular implants, we instead use a method called All-on-4. This involves fitting a full arch of prosthetic teeth on to 4 implants. To do this, we strategically place each implant across your jawbone to ensure the best security and stability of the prosthetic teeth.

The surgical procedure itself is performed using Guided Implant Surgery. This process is  often used for dental implant treatments as it provides high accuracy and stability. Dr Julian Caplan is one of the few dentists in the UK to provide this surgery.
