Full Mouth Dental Implants
Full mouth implants replace a whole arch of teeth with a few implants and a fixed bridge or denture. We plan each case after checking your bone.
When most or all teeth in a jaw are lost or failing, a full mouth implant plan uses four to six implants to carry a full arch of teeth. The teeth are either fixed in place or snap onto the implants as a denture. This is a larger decision than a single tooth, so the first visit is mostly assessment.
At our Malad West clinic, our dentists (oral implantology, prosthodontic and smile design work) and Dr. Aanchal Sahni, our gum specialist (MDS in Periodontology and Oral Implantology), plan these cases together. We offer All-on-4 and All-on-6 designs, and use Nobel Biocare, Straumann, Osstem and Adin implant systems.
When full mouth dental implants can help
- Most or all teeth in one or both jaws are missing, loose or beyond repair
- A complete denture that slips, rubs or limits what you can eat
- Teeth lost to advanced gum disease where the remaining teeth cannot be saved
- A wish for teeth that do not come out at night, and you are medically fit for surgery
- Only one or two failing teeth, where a single implant or a bridge is usually the better plan
Your options
All-on-4
Four implants carry a fixed set of teeth, with the back implants angled to use the available bone. It can avoid bone grafting in some jaws. With fewer implants, each one carries more load, so planning matters.
All-on-6
Six implants support the fixed teeth, spreading the bite load across more points. It may suit good bone and a heavy bite. It involves more surgery than All-on-4.
Fixed teeth
A bridge attached to the implants that you do not remove at home. It needs careful cleaning underneath, with floss threaders or a water flosser.
Implant-supported removable denture (overdenture)
A denture that clips onto implants and comes out for cleaning. It often needs fewer implants and is easier to clean. It suits some people better than a fixed bridge.
What happens, step by step
- 1
Assessment and scans
We examine your gums, bite and general health, and take an OPG X-ray and, where the case needs it, a 3D scan (CBCT) to see bone height, width and nerve positions. This shows how many implants fit and whether grafting is needed.
- 2
Treatment plan
We go through the options, fixed or removable, All-on-4 or All-on-6, and the likely timeline. Remaining teeth that cannot be saved are planned for removal.
- 3
Implant surgery
Implants are usually placed under local anaesthesia, and we discuss at planning whether a full-arch case needs anything more. You feel pressure, and the area is sore and swollen afterwards. Temporary teeth fitted soon after surgery, called immediate loading, are possible only in eligible cases.
- 4
Healing
The implants fuse with the bone over a few months, usually longer in the upper jaw than the lower. You wear a temporary set or a modified denture and eat soft food.

Permanent teeth and review
Once the implants are stable, we take impressions and fit the final bridge or denture. We check the bite, teach you to clean it and see you regularly.

After treatment
- Eat soft, cool food for the first days and avoid hard chewing during the healing period
- Take any medicines exactly as prescribed, and call us if swelling or pain increases after the third day
- Clean around every implant daily, using the brushes or water flosser we show you
- Attend maintenance visits at the intervals we set, since gum inflammation around an implant can damage the bone
- Avoid biting very hard food, and tell us if you grind your teeth, as a night guard may be advised
- Tell us if you smoke; we advise stopping, because it affects healing
When we suggest something else
A complete denture needs no surgery. It is a reasonable choice for people who are not fit for surgery or who do not want implants. It can loosen as the jawbone shrinks. Two to four implants holding a denture is a middle option.
Not everyone is a candidate. Uncontrolled diabetes, smoking, untreated gum disease and some medical conditions or treatments can lower the chance of implants healing well, so we review your medical history and may ask you to sort these out first, or advise against implants. Severe bone loss may need grafting, which adds time. Implants can also fail or become inflamed, so they need lifelong care. We may suggest a bridge for a few missing teeth instead of a full arch.

Questions patients ask
How long does a full mouth implant treatment take?
Planning and surgery come first, then usually a few months of healing before the permanent teeth are fitted. Grafting or extractions add time.
Can I get teeth on the same day as surgery?
Only in selected cases, and the teeth are temporary. Immediate loading depends on bone quality and implant stability, and we confirm this at planning and again during surgery.
Do I need a scan before treatment?
Yes. An OPG X-ray, and a 3D scan where the case needs one, show how much bone you have and where the nerves lie.
Can I have full mouth implants if I have diabetes?
If your diabetes is well controlled, it is often possible. If it is not controlled, healing is affected, and we may ask you to see your doctor first.
How long do full mouth implants last?
It varies. Implants can last many years with good cleaning and regular check-ups, but the teeth on top wear or chip and may need repair or replacement. Gum inflammation around implants is the main threat.
Typical Duration
Commonly 3 to 6 months from surgery to final teeth, after planning
