At Atlanta Oral and Facial Surgery, we are proud to offer the most advanced solutions for restoring your smile and confidence. If you’re dealing with extensive tooth loss or chronic dental issues, full mouth dental implants are a life-changing option designed to deliver a functional, beautiful, and long-lasting smile.
What Are Full Mouth Dental Implants?
Full mouth dental implants are a comprehensive solution for replacing an entire arch of missing or damaged teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, full mouth implants provide unmatched stability, functionality, and aesthetics by anchoring a full set of prosthetic teeth to multiple strategically placed implants.
Why Choose Full Mouth Dental Implants?
Full mouth dental implants offer a range of benefits that go beyond traditional restoration options:
- Natural Appearance: Achieve a flawless smile with prosthetics that look and feel like natural teeth.
- Superior Stability: No slipping or shifting, unlike traditional dentures.
- Enhanced Functionality: Chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving facial structure.
- Long-Term Solution: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
The Full Mouth Dental Implant Procedure
At Atlanta Oral and Facial Surgery, we customise every treatment plan to suit your unique needs. Here’s an overview of the process:
1. Consultation and Assessment
Our experienced team will conduct a thorough evaluation using advanced 3D imaging to assess your oral health, bone density, and suitability for implants.
2. Treatment Planning
Based on your needs, we’ll create a personalised plan that includes the number of implants required and the type of prosthetic restoration.
3. Implant Placement
During the surgical phase, implants are strategically placed into the jawbone to provide a secure foundation for the prosthetic teeth. Sedation options are available to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
4. Healing and Osseointegration
Over the next few months, the implants will fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration, ensuring long-term stability.
5. Final Restoration
Once healing is complete, the custom-designed prosthetic teeth are securely attached to the implants, giving you a natural-looking, fully functional smile.

Bone Grafting
At Atlanta Oral and Facial Surgery, we’re dedicated to providing cutting-edge solutions to support your oral health and ensure the success of restorative treatments like dental implants. Bone grafting is a transformative procedure that strengthens and rebuilds your jawbone, creating a solid foundation for optimal oral function and aesthetics.
What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure designed to repair or rebuild bone in areas of the jaw that have lost density or volume due to tooth loss, trauma, periodontal disease, or other conditions. The process involves transplanting bone tissue to stimulate natural bone regeneration, ensuring your jaw is strong enough to support dental implants or other restorative treatments.
Why Is Bone Grafting Necessary?
When teeth are missing for an extended period, the underlying jawbone begins to deteriorate due to lack of stimulation. This bone loss can lead to:
- Changes in Facial Appearance: Sunken cheeks or a prematurely aged look.
- Difficulty with Dental Implants: Insufficient bone may not support implant placement.
- Compromised Oral Health: Weak jawbone can affect neighbouring teeth and overall oral function.
Bone grafting restores the jaw’s structural integrity, allowing you to regain a strong and healthy foundation for a confident smile.
Types of Bone Grafting Procedures
At Atlanta Oral and Facial Surgery, we offer a range of bone grafting techniques tailored to your individual needs:
1. Socket Preservation
- Performed immediately after a tooth extraction to prevent bone loss.
- Maintains the natural contours of your jaw for future dental implant placement.
2. Ridge Augmentation
- Rebuilds the natural shape and volume of the jawbone in areas with significant bone loss.
- Essential for achieving the best aesthetic and functional outcomes with dental implants.
3. Sinus Lift
- Adds bone to the upper jaw near the molars and premolars, where the sinus cavity may encroach.
- Creates the necessary space and support for implants in the upper arch.
4. Autogenous Bone Graft
- Utilises bone from your own body (e.g., chin or hip) for precise compatibility and enhanced healing.

Our skilled oral surgeons ensure a seamless experience with bone grafting:
- Consultation and Assessment:
We’ll use advanced imaging technology to evaluate your bone density and determine the best grafting method. - Graft Placement:
