Full Mouth Rehabilitation

What is full mouth rehabilitation?

Full-mouth rehabilitation is a treatment designed for patients who have lost all the teeth in their upper or lower arch, or both. Instead of replacing each tooth individually, an entire arch of teeth is restored with a custom prosthesis that is securely supported by dental implants.

Unlike traditional removable dentures, implant-supported teeth are fixed in place, providing greater comfort, improved chewing ability, clearer speech, and a more confident smile. Every treatment is customized based on your oral health, bone structure, and long-term goals.

How is full mouth rehabilitation performed?

Your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation and digital imaging to evaluate your jawbone and determine the ideal implant placement.

Most full mouth rehabilitations require a minimum of four dental implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. Depending on your anatomy and treatment goals, Dr. Vu may recommend:

• All-on-4®
• All-on-6
• All-on-8

While four implants can provide excellent support for many patients, six or eight implants may offer even greater stability by distributing biting forces more evenly across the jaw. The additional implants create a stronger foundation for your new teeth and may improve long-term function.

Once the implants have healed and integrated with your jawbone, your custom full-arch prosthesis is securely attached. Depending on your needs, your restoration may be fabricated from durable materials such as zirconia or reinforced acrylic to provide strength, function, and a natural appearance.

Who is a candidate for full mouth rehabilitation?

You may be a candidate if you:

• Have no remaining teeth in your upper or lower jaw
• Have multiple teeth that cannot be saved and require extraction
• Wear dentures and want a more secure, comfortable solution
• Want a long-lasting option to restore your smile and oral function

Dr. Vu will perform a thorough evaluation, discuss your treatment options, and recommend the implant-supported solution that best fits your needs and lifestyle.
