When are full-mouth implants considered?

Full-mouth implants may be considered when most or all teeth in the upper or lower jaw have been lost and overall chewing function and bite need to be restored. We first evaluate whether any remaining teeth can be preserved, then check the amount of jawbone, general health, and your ability to maintain oral hygiene. The number of implants and the type of prosthesis vary by individual, and we compare other options such as dentures or implant-supported dentures before finalizing the treatment plan.
