Full-Mouth Dental Implants
Full-mouth dental implants, also known as all-on-4 dental implants, are an effective way to restore missing teeth on both your upper and lower arches.
Full-Mouth Dental Implants
Full-mouth dental implants require only four implants per jaw, compared to traditional implants that require eight to ten implants per jaw. The all-on-4 technique reduces the need for bone grafting, and the implants act just like natural teeth, making this procedure quicker, easier, and more comfortable for patients.
Benefits
- Reduced treatment and recovery time.
- Lowers the need for bone graft surgery while ensuring greater stability in the existing bone. It can even be used for patients who have been told they do not qualify for implants due to bone loss.
- More comfortable than traditional dentures because implants are more secure and feel like natural teeth.
- Never worry about your false teeth slipping or falling out while you eat or engage in conversation.
- No need for denture adhesive.

What are full-mouth dental implants?
Full-mouth dental implants are a revolutionary dental implant system in which an entire top or bottom denture is supported on just four implants. Each implant is strategically placed so that the replacement teeth remain steady and secure. The advantage of using four implants is that it helps promote faster patient recovery and reduces the likelihood of complications from possible implant failure.

How to clean full-mouth dental implants?
Just like natural teeth, daily cleaning of all the surfaces above and below the gum line and regular dental checkups are key to preventing any disease.
A manual or electric toothbrush with soft bristles can be used to clean the implants.

What can I expect after the dental implant procedure?
Following your dental implant procedure, it’s essential to stick to a soft food diet for at least two weeks to protect the implant site from unnecessary pressure. Opt for easy-to-eat foods like soups, mashed potatoes, and smoothies during this time. Rest and relax for the next few days to a couple of weeks. Giving your body time to heal will promote a smoother recovery and allow the implant to integrate properly.
Be sure to continue visiting your dentist for regular dental checkups every six months after your implant procedure. These routine visits help ensure the implant stays healthy and functional long-term. We’ll provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions to guide you through recovery and ensure everything progresses smoothly.

Are dental implants painful?
While some discomfort is normal for implant patients, it’s typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or Tylenol. Most soreness fades within a few days after the procedure. If you have any concerns about pain, we’re happy to discuss additional options to ensure your comfort during recovery.

Does insurance cover dental implants?
Insurance coverage for dental implants can vary, with many plans covering at least part of the procedure, if not the entire cost. To get a clear understanding of your benefits, it’s important to check with your insurance provider. At Dinwiddie Dental, we’re happy to assist by reviewing your insurance and offering guidance on what to expect in terms of coverage.
