Who Needs Full Mouth Dental Implants?
Full mouth dental implants are a comprehensive tooth replacement solution for individuals who have lost most or all of their teeth. Seattle’s Family Dentistry provides the same in Seattle and surrounding areas.
They provide a permanent, stable, and natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures. These are some common reasons why a person may need full mouth dental implants:

- Extensive Tooth Loss
People who have lost most or all of their teeth due to decay, gum disease, or trauma often require full mouth implants to restore their smile and oral function.
- Severe Gum Disease (Periodontitis)
Advanced gum disease can cause the deterioration of bone and soft tissues, leading to tooth loss. Full mouth implants help restore both function and aesthetics after extensive periodontal damage.
- Failing Dentures or Bridges
Many denture wearers struggle with discomfort, poor fit, or difficulty chewing. Full mouth implants provide a more stable and long-term solution compared to traditional dentures.
- Bone Loss in the Jaw
When teeth are missing for a long time, jawbone loss occurs. Implants, especially when paired with bone grafting, can help maintain bone structure and prevent facial collapse.
- Trauma or Injury
Accidents or injuries that result in the loss of multiple teeth may require full mouth implants to restore proper function and aesthetics.
- Congenital Conditions
Some people are born with conditions that cause missing or poorly developed teeth (such as ectodermal dysplasia). Full mouth implants can provide them with a complete, functional smile.
