Full Mouth Dental Implant Process

Your Step-by-Step Guide to a New Smile

Medically reviewed by Dr. Morton Baker, DMDLast updated

At Fort Worth Family and Implant Dentistry, we've refined the full mouth dental implant process to be as smooth and efficient as possible. Here's what you can expect at each stage:

1

Consultation & Planning

1-2 appointments

During your initial consultation, Dr. Baker will perform a comprehensive examination, including 3D imaging of your jaw structure. Together, you'll discuss your goals and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

2

Preparation

Varies by case

If any teeth need to be extracted or if bone grafting is required, this will be completed first. We use advanced techniques to ensure minimal discomfort and optimal healing.

3

Implant Placement

1 day

Four to eight dental implants are strategically placed in your jawbone beneath the gum line. The number depends on your specific situation and oral health. With IV sedation, you won't feel a thing during this procedure.

4

Healing & Osseointegration

3-6 months

Over the next few months, your implants will fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. The best part? We can provide temporary teeth so you're never without a smile during healing.

5

Final Teeth Attachment

2-3 appointments

Once healing is complete, your custom-crafted permanent teeth are attached to the implants. These are designed to look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.

You'll Never Be Without Teeth

One of the biggest advantages of our process is that we can 3D print your temporary teeth on the same day as your implant placement. You leave our office with a brand new smile!
