The exact course of mouth rehabilitation with dental implants
Introduction
Mouth rehabilitation with dental implants is one of the most advanced and comprehensive solutions for restoring full oral function when no teeth are suitable for prosthetic treatment. As one of the attached documents states, “neglected, incomplete teeth are not primarily an aesthetic deficiency but a serious health risk.” When the entire mouth requires reconstruction, modern implantology offers several reliable methods, including one-phase implants, two-phase implants, and full-arch solutions such as All-on-4 and All-on-6. This article explains what mouth rehabilitation means, how the process works, and how the four main implant systems differ in technique, indications, and long-term outcomes.
What mouth rehabilitation means
Mouth rehabilitation becomes necessary when the patient has no teeth suitable for long-term prosthetic treatment. In such cases, the dentist must determine whether saving any remaining teeth is realistic or whether complete replacement is the only predictable solution. Rehabilitation may involve the upper jaw, the lower jaw, or both, which is known as full-mouth rehabilitation. The goal is to restore chewing efficiency, stability, and long-term oral health using implant-supported dentures.
The four main implant systems used in mouth rehabilitation Modern implantology offers several solutions for full-mouth reconstruction. Each system has unique advantages, and the choice depends on bone quality, anatomical conditions, and patient preferences.
One-phase (immediate loading) implants
One-phase implants are inserted in a single surgical step and allow immediate loading with a long-term temporary denture. They can be placed at various angles, making them ideal for patients with bone deficiency. Healing of the soft tissues takes a few weeks, while ossification—the integration of the implant with the bone—requires approximately 3–5 months. During this period, patients must avoid hard foods and follow the implantologist’s instructions.
Two-phase (traditional) implants
Two-phase implants are placed in two separate stages. First, the implant is inserted into the bone and left to heal under the gums for several months. After ossification, a second procedure exposes the implant and attaches the abutment. This method requires sufficient bone volume and density, and bone grafting is often necessary. Although the process is longer, two-phase implants remain a reliable and widely used solution.
All-on-4 technology
All-on-4 is a full-arch rehabilitation method using four strategically placed implants. Two implants are inserted vertically in the front, and two are placed at an angle in the posterior region to maximize bone contact. This technique is ideal for patients with moderate bone loss and provides immediate loading with a fixed denture.
All-on-6 technology
All-on-6 follows the same principles as All-on-4 but uses six implants for greater stability and load distribution. It is recommended for patients with better bone quality or those who prefer a more robust long-term solution. Both All-on-4 and All-on-6 provide fixed, non-removable dentures that restore chewing efficiency and aesthetics.
How patients initiate the process
Patients can request an appointment online, by phone, or through messaging apps such as Facebook, Viber, Messenger, or WhatsApp. Online contact is available 24/7 and allows patients to upload X-rays or describe their dental concerns. Once the clinic receives the request, a consultation appointment is scheduled—usually within a week.
Personal consultation and diagnostic imaging
A personal consultation is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. As the document notes, “a correct diagnosis is possible almost exclusively based on a personal consultation.” During the visit, the implantologist performs a detailed oral examination and reviews panoramic X-rays and cbCT scans. These imaging tools provide a three-dimensional view of the jawbone, allowing precise planning of implant placement.
The consultation also includes a review of the patient’s medical history, medications, allergies, and previous experiences with anesthesia. Once all information is available, the implantologist prepares a treatment plan and price quote, valid for three months.
General anesthesia in mouth rehabilitation
Although many dental procedures can be performed under local anesthesia, full-mouth rehabilitation often requires general anesthesia due to the extent and duration of the surgery. General anesthesia ensures complete comfort and allows the implantologist to work efficiently across the entire oral cavity. It is important to note that general anesthesia is available upon request; however, its cost is not included in the package price.
How mouth rehabilitation is performed
Consultation with the anesthesiologist
— Review of medical history,
— Evaluation of lab results and EKG,
— Explanation of anesthesia procedure,
— Final approval for surgery.
Removal of teeth unsuitable for treatment
— Extraction of remaining teeth,
— Management of roots or complications,
— Cleaning and preparation of the surgical area.
Implant placement
— Insertion of one-phase, two-phase, All-on-4, or All-on-6 implants,
— Placement at optimal angles for stability,
— Panoramic X-ray to verify correct positioning.
Long-term temporary denture (In case one-phase implant)
— Control examination the following day,
— Removal of sutures after 7–10 days,
— Impression taking for the metal framework,
— Fabrication and delivery of long-term temporary dentures.
Final denture fabrication
— Personal consultation,
— Panoramic X-ray and CBCT if needed,
— Impression taking for the permanent denture,
— Fabrication of porcelain prostheses,
— Fixation of the final denture on the implants.
Healing and ossification
oft tissue healing takes a few weeks, while ossification requires 3–5 months. During this period, patients must avoid hard foods and maintain excellent oral hygiene. Regular control examinations ensure that the implants remain stable and the healing process progresses as expected. (In case one-phase and teo-phase implant)
Summary
Mouth rehabilitation with dental implants is a comprehensive, predictable, and long-lasting solution for patients who require full-mouth reconstruction. Whether using one-phase implants, two-phase implants, All-on-4, or All-on-6 technology, modern implantology provides stable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing results. The process includes consultation, diagnostic imaging, implant placement, temporary dentures, and final porcelain restorations. Healing takes several months, with ossification ensuring long-term stability. General anesthesia is available upon request; however, its cost is not included in the package price. With proper planning and expert execution, full-mouth rehabilitation restores chewing efficiency, comfort, and confidence.
