What full mouth dental implants involve
Full mouth dental implant treatment replaces an entire arch, or both arches, of missing or failing teeth with a fixed prosthesis anchored to implants placed in the jawbone. Most patients see this marketed as "All-on-4" or "All-on-6," referring to the number of implants used to support a full arch of replacement teeth. The process usually spans several months: a consultation with imaging (CT scan) to check bone volume, surgical placement of the implants, a healing period where the bone fuses to the titanium posts (osseointegration), and finally attachment of the permanent bridge or denture. Some providers offer same-day temporary teeth while the site heals.
Easley has 22 providers listed in this category, ranging from oral surgeons and periodontists to general dentists who partner with specialists for the surgical portion. Not all of them handle every stage in-house, which matters when you're comparing options.
What to look for in a provider
Ask who actually places the implants (an oral surgeon or periodontist versus a general dentist), whether the practice uses 3D imaging to plan implant position, and what happens if a graft is needed for insufficient bone. Get a clear breakdown of what's included in any quoted price: surgery, sedation, temporary teeth, and the final prosthesis are often billed separately. Ask to see before-and-after cases similar to your own situation, not just marketing photos.
