How is Full Mouth Implant Treatment Done?

During full-mouth implant treatment, the patient’s medical history is first examined and needs to be thoroughly examined. During this process, implant planning is completed using 3D X-ray and tomography devices.

The expert dentist determines which diameter and length of implant to choose by making certain measurements. After the tests are completed, full-mouth implant treatment is started with local anesthesia applied to the patient.

After the implants, which are placed on the jawbone under the teeth, are inserted into their sockets and healed, the procedure is completed.

After this operation, fixed prostheses are placed, and full-mouth implant treatment, also known as full mouth reconstruction, is completed. It is necessary to seek support from experienced dentists to achieve successful results.

Are Full Mouth Implant Overdentures Durable?

You don’t need to worry about the durability of full-mouth implant-supported dentures because the materials used in full-mouth implant treatment are the strongest and longest-lasting among fixed prosthetics.

If regular dental and oral care is continued, they can be used for many years without problems. People who maintain good oral hygiene after the treatment can use full-mouth implant-supported dentures for almost their entire lifetime.

What is One-Stage Full-Mouth Implant Treatment?

One-stage full-mouth implant treatment is usually preferred by patients who do not want to wait for the waiting period. However, for successful results, the patient’s jawbone must meet certain conditions.

During one-stage full-mouth implant placement, the implant and abutment are placed in one step. Although the procedure becomes simpler, there may be problems with negative loads that may occur on the implant during the healing process.

Therefore, experienced dentists must be preferred in this method, which can even lead to implant loss.

What is Two-Stage Full-Mouth Implant Treatment?

Two-stage full-mouth implant treatment is a process where the gum is cut open and the bone is drilled according to the size of the implant, and the implant is placed. After this procedure, the gum is sutured and the implant is left to fuse with the jawbone. After an average of 1-3 months, the gum must be opened with different techniques to place the crown on the implant.

Two-stage implant treatment is completed by placing the crown structure on the gingiva, which is opened with the help of laser, a small incision or punch.

In the clinical setting and performed by expert dentists, nothing is visible in the oral cavity after this procedure. After the second surgery, when the gum shape regulators or abutments with implant support are attached, metallic extensions can be noticeable in the mouth.

What Materials are Used in Full Mouth Implant Treatment?

The materials used in full mouth implant treatment are selected from substances that are both long-lasting and enhance the patient’s quality of life. In implant treatment, which has been applied in dentistry for many years, the most compatible materials with the human biological system must be selected.

Therefore, titanium and its alloys are used because they are highly compatible with human tissue and can bond well with bone. Nowadays, zirconium implants made of zirconium and its alloys are also becoming increasingly widespread. Therefore, titanium and zirconium materials are generally preferred in full mouth implant treatments.
