Full Mouth Dental Implants Brisbane

Full mouth dental implants replace a complete arch of teeth using four to six implants that support a fixed bridge. This approach is known as All-on-X. Two implants sit at the front of the jaw and the remainder are angled further back to make use of available bone, which can avoid the need for grafting.

Cost depends on the number of implants, your jaw anatomy, the bridge materials, and whether extractions or grafting are needed. We provide a written itemised quote after your consultation and CBCT scan. Payment plans start from $50 per week through Afterpay, Zip, Humm and Denticare. Call 07 3269 2443 to discuss your situation.

A full arch is usually restored with four to six implants. The exact number depends on your bone volume, bone density, and whether the arch is upper or lower. Upper jaws often need more implants because the bone is less dense. A CBCT scan at your consultation confirms the number for your case.

We place Osstem implants, a system manufactured in South Korea since 1997 and distributed in more than 70 countries. Choosing a named, widely distributed system means the components in your jaw can be identified and matched years later, whether you return to us or see a different dentist in future.

Swelling, tenderness and mild discomfort for a few days is normal and is managed with pain relief as directed by your dentist. A soft diet is recommended early on. Osseointegration, where the implants fuse with bone, takes three to six months depending on bone density and healing response. Review appointments are scheduled throughout.

For most suitable patients a temporary fixed bridge is fitted on the same day as or shortly after implant placement, so you will not go without teeth. The temporary lets you speak and eat soft foods while the implants integrate over three to six months. Your final bridge is fitted after that.

Patients with loose or unstable dentures are often suitable for implant treatment. A fixed All-on-X bridge stays in permanently, while an implant-supported overdenture clips onto two to four implants and can be removed for cleaning. A CBCT scan at your consultation shows which pathway suits your bone.

Yes. IV sedation and oral sedation are both available at our Sandgate practice. IV sedation is designed to induce deep relaxation and often reduces memory of the procedure. Sedation is arranged in advance, requires a medical assessment, and you will need an escort to take you home afterwards.

Bone loss after long-term tooth loss or denture wear is common and does not automatically rule out treatment. Angled implant placement can make use of bone at the back of the jaw, and grafting can rebuild volume where needed. Our in-house CBCT scanner shows precisely what is available.

With good oral hygiene and regular review appointments, the titanium implants are designed to last many years and in many cases decades. The bridge attached to them may need maintenance or replacement over time depending on the material used. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes and poor oral hygiene can affect long-term outcomes.
