Full mouth dental implants at Aspen Dental
Get your smile back and take life off pause
If missing teeth are holding you back, Aspen Dental can help. Our full mouth dental implants are a whole and permanent solution—and we’ll be with you every step of the way.
What are full mouth dental implants?
Full mouth implants at Aspen Dental replace all your missing teeth with a secure, natural-feeling smile—anchored into your jawbone through titanium posts that stay put when you eat, talk and smile. Each implant acts like a tooth root, supporting a custom-made arch of teeth designed to look and feel like your own. There are different types of full mouth dental implants, including fixed full-arch implants and implant dentures (also known as snap-on dentures) Each dental implant post is made to last a lifetime and made easier with options for every smile and budget.

From consultation to restoration, here’s how Aspen Dental brings your new smile to life:
Consultation
We’ll review your oral health and goals, then create a personalized plan—so you know what to expect.
Pre-work
You may need cleanings, extractions or bone grafting. We’ll guide you through each step with care.
Implant placement
Your dentist will place four or more titanium implants using local anesthesia. These act like tooth roots.
Abutment
We’ll add small connectors, also called abutments, the same day. These help hold your custom teeth.
Healing

Restoration
Once healed, we’ll place your final prosthesis—so you can eat, speak and smile with confidence again.

From steak to apples, eat without worry. Implants bring back bite strength and all your favorite foods.

Clear, confident speech

What full mouth dental implants healing time really looks like
Healing takes time—but it’s usually easier than people expect. While your body heals, you'll still be able to smile, eat soft foods and get back to your routine sooner than you think.
First week
You may feel some soreness, swelling or bruising around your mouth. Most people manage any discomfort with ice packs and over-the-counter medication. During this time, eat soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes or smoothies and remember to follow your dentist’s care instructions.
2-6 months
Your implant posts will begin fusing with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. You won’t feel it happening, but it’s key to making your implants stable for the long run. You’ll likely wear a temporary prosthetic during this phase, so you are never without your smile.
Placement of final teeth
Once everything’s healed, your care team will attach your permanent, custom-made teeth. This final step is simple and comfortable—and you’ll walk out with a confident new smile.
Timelines vary
Every smile heals at its own pace. Your Aspen Dental care team will track your progress and let you know exactly when you’re ready for each step.

Who is a good candidate for full mouth teeth implants?
Full mouth dental implants can be a great option if you’re in generally good health, have lost most or all of your teeth and want a long-term, stable solution. Here’s what we usually look for:
Jawbone density
Implants need healthy bone to stay firmly in place. If you’ve had bone loss (which is common when teeth have been missing for a while), treatments like a bone graft may help build up enough support for implants.
Healthy gums
Your gums should be free from active gum disease, like gingivitis, or infection before we begin. If there are gum issues, we’ll treat them first so your implants have the best chance to heal and last.
Good overall health
Because implants are placed with minor surgery, you’ll need to strong overall health to heal well. Some chronic conditions can affect recovery, so we may check in with your physician to be sure it’s safe for you.
Compare full mouth dental implants vs dentures
A new smile is a big step—this guide makes it a little less overwhelming by comparing fixed full arch implants and implant dentures to traditional dentures.
Tooth replacement | Full mouth implants treatment | Traditional denture treatment |
Stability | Permanently fixed | Can slip or move |
Lifespan | Titanium implants are made to last a lifetime with proper care¹ | May need replacement every 5-7 years |
Bone support | Helps prevent bone loss | Bone loss can continue over time |
Eating | Chew like you used to | Limited to soft foods |
Care | Brush like real teeth | Remove nightly and use adhesives |
Comfort | Prothesis sits on secure titanium implants | Sits directly on gums |
¹Dental implants can last a lifetime. Studies show that dental implants are likely to last at least 25 years with proper care and maintenance.
Rare risks associated with full mouth dental implants
Dental implants alone have a 98% success rate—let’s talk about the rest.
Rare but possible risks:
Infection - a small risk with any surgery. Good oral hygiene helps prevent it.
Implant failure - uncommon, often linked to smoking or health conditions.
Nerve sensitivity - very rare. Advanced placement techniques help to avoid it.
At Aspen Dental, your safety is built into every step. We use advanced imaging and placement techniques, coupled with proven safety protocols to lower risks and support healing. You can have peace of mind knowing you’re supported by a team that puts your safety first—from start to finish.

Full mouth dental implants FAQs
Are full mouth dental implants painful?
Most patients are surprised by how manageable the healing is. You’ll be numb during the procedure and may receive sedation to help you relax. Some swelling or soreness afterward is normal, but over-the-counter medication usually takes care of it. We’ll guide you through aftercare every step of the way.
How do I know if full mouth teeth implants are right for me?
If you’ve lost most or all of your teeth, or have major tooth loss, there’s a good chance you qualify. During your consultation, your provider will look at your bone health, gum health, and overall wellness. Even if you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone, options like bone grafting or zygomatic implants can still make treatment possible.
Can full mouth implants be done in one day?
Aspen Dental does not currently offer “teeth in a day” or same-day dental implants. In most cases, you’ll need time to heal between implant surgery and receiving your final teeth.
Your care team may provide temporary solutions during the healing process, so you’re not without a smile while you wait. We’ll walk through what your timeline could look like and what to expect based on your needs.
Are full mouth teeth replacement options permanent or removable?
Full mouth teeth replacement options can be both permanent and removable, depending on the type of restoration you choose and your oral health needs.
Permanent options, such as fixed full arch dental implants or implant-supported dentures, are securely anchored into the jawbone. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth, offering long-term stability and preventing bone loss. These options are ideal for patients seeking a lifetime solution with minimal maintenance.
Removable options, like traditional dentures or over dentures, can be taken out for cleaning and are typically more affordable upfront. However, they may require periodic adjustments and don’t provide the same level of bite strength or comfort as fixed implant restorations.
Are full mouth implants worth it compared to dentures?
For many people, they are. Dentures can slip, cause sore spots and need to be replaced over time. Implants feel more like natural teeth—no slipping, no adhesives, no second-guessing your smile. They’re built to last, and they can improve your comfort, confidence and quality of life long-term. Learn more about dentures vs. implants here.
What is the recovery time for whole mouth dental implants?
You’ll start to heal within 1–2 weeks, but full recovery takes longer. It can take a few months for the implants to fully fuse with your bone—a process called osseointegration. During that time, you’ll wear temporary teeth, so you’re never without a smile. Once healing is complete, your permanent teeth will be placed and you’ll be ready for long-term success.
Are full mouth dental implants covered by insurance?
Most insurance accepted
We work with most insurance providers and will verify your eligibility before treatment. Implant coverage varies by plan and medical necessity, and participation may differ by location.
We’ll review your benefits and provide a clear estimate of any out-of-pocket costs. We do not accept Medicaid.
