Full mouth dental implants are one of the most advanced solutions available for patients who have lost many or all of their teeth. This treatment replaces an entire arch of missing teeth with fixed implant-supported bridges that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Unlike traditional dentures, full mouth implants are anchored securely into the jawbone using dental implants. This creates a stable and permanent foundation that allows patients to chew comfortably, speak clearly, and smile with confidence.
At our clinic in Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic, Dr. Florentino provides advanced full mouth implant treatments for patients traveling from the United States and other countries seeking high-quality care at a more affordable cost.
Full mouth dental implants are used to replace all the teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both.
The treatment involves placing multiple dental implants into the jawbone. These implants act as artificial tooth roots that support a fixed bridge of prosthetic teeth.
The final prosthesis typically includes 10 to 12 teeth per arch, designed to restore both aesthetics and function.
Because implants fuse biologically with the bone, they provide a secure and durable solution that can last for decades with proper care.
There are several ways to restore a full arch of teeth using dental implants. The most common options include:
All-on-4 dental implants
This technique uses four implants to support a full arch of teeth. It was originally designed for patients with significant bone loss who may not have enough bone to support additional implants.
All-on-6 dental implants
This option uses six implants to support the prosthetic bridge. When bone conditions allow, additional implants can provide greater stability and improved distribution of chewing forces.
Dr. Florentino frequently recommends All-on-6 implants when sufficient bone is available, as they often provide stronger long-term support for full arch restorations.
Each patient receives a comprehensive evaluation to determine which treatment option is most appropriate.
Full mouth implants provide several advantages compared to traditional dentures.
Permanent teeth
Implants support fixed prosthetic teeth that do not move or slip while eating or speaking.
Improved chewing ability
Patients can comfortably eat foods that are difficult to chew with dentures.
Natural appearance
Implant-supported teeth are custom designed to resemble natural teeth and restore facial aesthetics.
Bone preservation
Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, helping prevent the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss.
Long-term durability
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, full mouth implants can last many decades and often a lifetime.
Full mouth implant treatment is typically completed in two visits.
During the first visit, dental implants are placed in the jawbone.
Patients who already wear dentures may stay in the Dominican Republic for approximately five days.
Patients who require tooth extractions may need to stay around ten days to allow time for healing and proper adjustment of temporary dentures.
Implants are usually placed in one arch first, which takes approximately two hours. The following day, implants are placed in the second arch.
Temporary dentures are then adjusted while the implants heal.
After implant placement, the implants require approximately four to six months to integrate with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration.
During this time patients wear temporary dentures.
Patients return to the Dominican Republic for the final phase of treatment.
This visit typically requires a stay of approximately twenty days.
During this phase, several appointments are required to fabricate and adjust the final prosthetic bridges.
These appointments allow adjustments to:
• bite alignment
• smile design
• tooth shape and color
• final prosthesis fitting
Each arch receives a custom porcelain bridge with approximately 10 to 12 teeth.
The cost of full mouth dental implants depends on the treatment option selected and each patient’s individual condition.
Typical treatment costs include:
All-on-4 full mouth implants
Approximately $16,000 USD for both arches
All-on-6 full mouth implants
Approximately $21,400 USD for both arches
Additional procedures such as tooth extractions or bone grafts for extraction sites may cost approximately $1,000 USD per arch if required.
Even with travel expenses, many patients choose the Dominican Republic because the cost of dental implants is significantly lower than in the United States or Canada.
The Dominican Republic has become an increasingly popular destination for dental tourism.
