Missing teeth can significantly impact your quality of life, causing discomfort, difficulty chewing, and diminished confidence. These gaps in your smile can also affect your speech and lead to bone loss, altering your facial structure.
At Eastman Craighead Periodontics in Lakewood Ranch and Bradenton, FL, we understand the emotional toll of missing teeth. That’s why we offer same-day full mouth dental implant smile solutions, using advanced technology and expertise to provide a swift and effective remedy. Don’t let missing teeth hold you back any longer—experience the instant revitalization and renewed self-assurance our solutions can bring to your life.
While dentures and dental implants replace missing teeth, fixed full mouth dental implants offer superior long-term benefits. Unlike dentures, which can shift and cause discomfort over time, full mouth dental implants provide a permanent solution by securely anchoring the jaw with titanium posts, ensuring stability even after decades of use.
Dentures often have dietary restrictions and ongoing maintenance requirements, leading to cumulative expenses. Although the initial cost of our same-day dental implants may be higher, their exceptional durability, longevity, and minimal upkeep make them the more cost-effective choice in the long term. With same-day dental implants, you can enjoy your favorite foods without worry, and your care involves simple brushing and flossing, similar to natural teeth.

Full mouth dental implants are an advanced dental restoration technique designed to replace all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. They involve strategically placing titanium implants into the jawbone to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. This process not only restores functionality but also mimics the appearance and feel of natural teeth.
With proper care and routine dental visits, full mouth dental implants are designed to last 20 to 30 years or more. These implants are made from durable, biocompatible materials that integrate with your jawbone, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable solution for missing teeth.
The journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and diagnostic imaging to evaluate your oral health. Next, dental implants are surgically placed into your jawbone, followed by a healing period of several months. Finally, custom prosthetic teeth are secured onto the implants, completing the restoration.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure patient comfort. While some swelling and mild discomfort may occur after surgery, these symptoms can be managed with pain medication. Many patients report the experience to be less painful than they anticipated.
Candidates for full mouth dental implants should have good oral health, sufficient jawbone density, and no untreated gum disease. If you’ve experienced bone loss, procedures like bone grafting may prepare your jaw for implants. A thorough evaluation by a dental professional will determine your eligibility.
The initial recovery phase lasts about 7-10 days, during which soft tissues heal. Full recovery, including the integration of implants with the jawbone (osseointegration), takes 3-6 months. Temporary prosthetics may be worn during this period to maintain aesthetics and functionality.
Full mouth dental implants provide a stable and permanent solution, unlike dentures that can shift or require adhesives. They improve chewing efficiency, speech, and overall confidence while preventing jawbone loss. Additionally, implants eliminate the need for nightly removal or frequent replacements.
The implants themselves are made of titanium, a biocompatible material that integrates seamlessly with the bone. The prosthetic teeth may be constructed from high-quality zirconia or acrylic, offering durability, aesthetics, and functionality tailored to your needs.
Dental implants restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence, significantly improving your quality of life. They eliminate the inconveniences of traditional dentures, such as slippage or discomfort, and provide a permanent solution that feels and looks natural.
