Full Mouth Dental Rehabilitation (All-on-4) and Implant Supported Dentures)
Missing multiple teeth or struggling with dentures can affect everything — chewing, confidence, and overall quality of life. Full mouth dental rehabilitation using All-on-4 implants or implant supported dentures offers a stable, long-term solution that restores natural function and a confident smile. These modern full-arch treatments replace an entire upper or lower arch of teeth using strategically placed implants.
At Connect Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we specialize in advanced full-arch solutions tailored to your bone level, health, and aesthetic goals.
What Is Full Mouth Dental Rehabilitation?
Full mouth rehabilitation replaces all teeth in one or both arches with a fixed or removable implant-supported prosthesis. Unlike traditional dentures that sit on the gums, these systems attach to dental implants, providing superior stability, chewing power, and comfort.
Two primary solutions:
All-on-4 (Fixed Full Arch Implant System)
A permanent bridge secured with as few as four implants.
Implant Supported Dentures (Snap-On or Overdentures)
A removable denture that “snaps” onto 2–6 implants for improved stability.
Both approaches restore a natural smile and stronger bite compared to traditional dentures.
Signs You Might Need It
You may benefit from full-arch implant rehabilitation if you experience:
- Failing or missing multiple teeth
- Difficulty chewing or eating certain foods
- Loose, uncomfortable, or ill-fitting dentures
- Chronic gum disease with widespread tooth mobility
- Repeated dental infections or fractured teeth
- Bone loss in the jaw
- Desire for a stable, fixed alternative to dentures
If you’re ready for a long-lasting, full-arch transformation, this treatment may be your best solution.
Benefits You Can Feel (and See)
Full mouth rehabilitation provides major functional and cosmetic improvements:

This life-changing treatment can significantly boost comfort, confidence, and oral health.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your comfort and clarity are always the priority. After a detailed consultation and 3D imaging, we walk you through every step.
Typical Treatment Steps:
1. Comprehensive Exam & 3D CBCT Scan
We evaluate teeth, bone, and gum health, and determine the ideal implant plan.
2. Treatment Planning
We discuss options (All-on-4 vs. implant supported dentures) and review costs, timing, and sedation choices.
3. Implant Placement
During the appointment, damaged teeth may be extracted, and implants are placed strategically for stability.
4. Immediate Temporary Teeth
Most patients receive a same-day or next-day temporary prosthesis so you never go without teeth.
5. Healing & Osseointegration
Implants fuse with the bone over several months. You’ll follow a soft-food diet during this stage.
6. Final Prosthesis
Once healed, a custom, strong, aesthetic final arch is created for long-term use.
Sedation options are available for a relaxed, comfortable experience throughout the procedure.
Aftercare & Home Care
Proper healing and maintenance are essential.
You may be instructed to:
- Use antimicrobial rinses as directed
- Avoid brushing the surgical sites initially
- Eat soft foods for several weeks
- Take all prescribed medications
- Avoid smoking or vaping
- Follow all scheduled follow-up visits
Once healed, you’ll receive instructions for cleaning around implants using brushes, floss alternatives, and water flossers.
Maintenance Matters
While implants don’t get cavities, the surrounding tissue still needs lifelong care.
You’ll require:
- Professional cleanings every 3–4 months
- Monitoring of implant health and bone levels
- Periodic replacement of prosthetic components
- Bite adjustments if needed
- Daily home care to prevent plaque buildup
Consistent maintenance keeps your implants healthy for decades.
FAQs
Is All-on-4 the same as implant supported dentures?
No. All-on-4 is fixed and non-removable. Implant supported dentures are removable but much more stable than traditional dentures.
How many implants do I need?
All-on-4 typically uses four or more implants per arch. Overdentures can use anywhere from two to six.
Will I leave the office with teeth?
Most patients receive a temporary set of teeth the same day or within 24 hours.
Can you treat patients with bone loss?
Often, yes. All-on-4 is designed to maximize existing bone, and bone grafting can be used when needed.
How long does it last?
Implants can last decades with proper care. Prosthetic teeth may need periodic replacement.
