Basic concepts of full mouth implant teeth

Full mouth dental implant is a common prosthodontic technology. It can restore patients' masticatory function and beauty by implanting artificial root in patients' upper and lower mandibles and then installing crowns on these artificial root. This technique is applicable to patients with more teeth loss, especially those with a large number of teeth loss due to periodontal disease, tooth wear or other reasons.

Number of teeth to be implanted in the whole mouth

The number of full mouth implant teeth is not fixed, it depends on the specific situation of the patient and the treatment plan of the doctor. Generally speaking, if the patient's maxilla and mandible are in good condition, the doctor may recommend the use of "All-on-4" or "All-on-6" technology, that is, implant 4 or 6 implants respectively in the maxilla or mandible, and then fix a whole row of crowns on these implants. This technology can greatly reduce the number of implants, while ensuring the stability of teeth and chewing function.

Operation procedure of full mouth dental implant

The procedure of full mouth implant surgery usually includes the following steps: First, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive examination of the patient's mouth, including X-ray and CT scanning, to assess the density and height of the jaw. Then, the doctor will develop a personalized planting plan based on the inspection results. On the day of operation, the doctor will implant the implant under local anesthesia. After surgery, patients need a period of recovery, during which they may need to wear temporary crowns. *Later, when the implant is fully fused with the jaw, the doctor will install a dental crown.
