Full Mouth Restorations at Richrose Dental
At Richrose Dental, we specialize in restoring entire upper or lower arches of teeth with complete fixed dental bridges. Our expert team uses high-quality Titanium or Zirconium materials to ensure lasting durability and stability. With techniques like All-on-4 dental implants or full mouth dental implants using six or more strategically positioned implants, we provide comprehensive solutions to restore both the functionality and aesthetics of your smile.
What Are Full Mouth Implants (All-on-6)?
Full mouth dental implants offer an excellent solution for replacing the upper or lower arch of teeth with a single bridge. The term “All-on-6” refers to placing six implants in areas of the mouth with optimal bone volume. This procedure results in a full arch bridge designed to resemble natural teeth, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. Additionally, it restores biting power similar to natural teeth and supports proper jaw alignment, improving oral function and appearance.

What Makes Full Mouth Dental Implants a Good Choice?
If you’re experiencing complete tooth loss in either your upper or lower arch, or both, full mouth implants might be the perfect solution. Especially if you’re currently using dentures, opting for full mouth implants at Richrose Dental in Richmond, TX, can offer unparalleled stability.
With these implants, you regain the ability to bite and chew as you would with your natural teeth, allowing you to enjoy a wide range of foods without worry. By strategically placing the implants throughout your jawbone, we help preserve both your new set of teeth and the natural structure of your jawbone, preventing bone resorption over time.

Jaw Bone Health
Ensuring your jawbone can adequately support a full set of new teeth is crucial for successful full mouth implants. Those who have experienced tooth loss over an extended period, currently suffer from active periodontal disease, or had periodontal issues in the past may have significantly diminished jawbone levels. Periodontal disease can erode the bone surrounding natural teeth, often leading to tooth loss. Even with missing teeth, you may still be a candidate for this treatment, although bone grafts may be necessary to restore bone levels for optimal implant placement.
Consideration of Other Factors
The Dentist at Richrose Dental carefully evaluates various other factors before recommending this treatment. One key consideration is the thickness of the final prosthesis, particularly if there has been significant bone loss. A thicker prosthesis may feel less natural than anticipated, highlighting the importance of adequate bone levels for optimal results.
Additionally, individuals with full mouth implants may have difficulty sensing excessive biting forces due to a lack of sensation, increasing the risk of implant failure if subjected to excessive stress from biting too hard.
Addressing Bruxism
Bruxism, characterized by teeth grinding and clenching during sleep, is another important consideration. The pressure exerted by bruxism can impact dental implants, necessitating appropriate measures to mitigate potential damage.
Speech Considerations
Speech patterns also play a role in treatment planning, with some patients benefiting from shorter span bridges while others may require individual dental implants. Although this may extend the overall duration and cost of treatment, the tailored outcome is well worth the investment in meeting your specific needs.

What Is the Procedure for Full Dental Implants (All-on-6) Dental Implants?
At Richrose Dental, we prioritize your goals and preferences when considering any dental implant procedure, ensuring a personalized approach tailored to your needs. The dentist will conduct a thorough discussion regarding your oral and medical health, meticulously outlining the potential benefits and risks associated with treatment. While providing an initial estimate of costs, a precise quote will be determined post-diagnostic tests, which are essential for assessing jawbone health.
Diagnostic Testing
Utilizing advanced diagnostic imaging, we meticulously plan each step of the surgery, evaluating the need for potential bone grafting procedures if necessary. The dentist will offer detailed insights into the bone grafting process, including additional costs and the extended duration of surgery. Manipulating 3D and 2D images allows for precise implant placement, ensuring optimal outcomes.
Treatment Planning
During your initial visit, the dentist strategizes treatment outcomes, meticulously planning your implant bridge to achieve both aesthetic appeal and functional comfort. Custom-made surgical stents guarantee precise implant insertion, maintaining correct depth and angulation for each implant. Healing caps are then placed to protect the implants, promoting undisturbed healing and fusion with the jawbone.
Full Dental Implants
Following integration with the jawbone, special connectors are affixed to the implants, facilitating the attachment of permanent teeth, which are securely screwed or cemented in place. For larger implant bridges, screws are concealed with tooth-colored composite resin, allowing for easy maintenance and cleaning while preserving the bridge’s aesthetics and functionality.

What Can I Expect After Full Mouth Implant Surgery?
After full mouth implant surgery, it’s common to experience some discomfort, though some may feel none at all. You’ll receive detailed instructions on what foods to eat and avoid during the healing process. Our team can offer guidance on using over-the-counter pain relievers, and if needed, your dentist will prescribe medication for pain management. Specific instructions will be provided for caring for your dental implants, including any prescribed antibiotics. An antimicrobial mouth rinse should be used during the first week post-surgery to aid in healing. As your implants heal, we’ll demonstrate how to properly clean around them to prevent infection and maintain optimal oral health.
