Treatment

Full-mouth implants: both jaws

Full-mouth treatment means restoring both jaws, usually with a fixed full-arch bridge in each. It is planned as one treatment so the bite, appearance and cleaning access work together.

In short
  • Upper and lower jaws are planned together.
  • The upper jaw often has less bone; options may include grafting, tilted implants or zygomatic implants.
  • A clear written plan and quote are essential.

What a complete plan covers

  • Number, system and position of implants in each jaw.
  • Temporary teeth: when and what type.
  • Final bridge material for each jaw.
  • Extractions, grafting or sinus lifts.
  • Follow-up visits and maintenance schedule.
