A Permanent Smile When Most of Your Teeth Need to Be Replaced

When most of your teeth are missing, broken, loose, or failing, small fixes stop feeling like real solutions.
You may be tired of chewing carefully. Tired of hiding your smile. Tired of wondering which tooth will cause the next problem.
Full-mouth dental implants are designed to rebuild the entire smile with implant-supported teeth that look natural, feel secure, and restore daily confidence.
At Markham Family Dental in Harlan, Dr. Burkhalter uses 3D imaging to plan your treatment, explain your options, and help you understand the best path toward permanent tooth replacement.

What Are Full-Mouth Dental Implants?

Full-mouth dental implants replace most or all missing and failing teeth with implant-supported restorations.

For some patients, this means replacing both arches with fixed implant teeth. For others, it may mean a combination of implants, full-arch bridges, implant-supported dentures, or other restorations.

The goal is not to keep repairing teeth that cannot last.

The goal is to rebuild the smile on a stronger foundation.

The Full-Mouth Dental Implant Process

1

Consultation and 3D Imaging

Your first visit starts with a full look at your mouth.

We review your teeth, bite, gums, dentures if you wear them, and the problems you want solved.

A CBCT 3D scan helps Dr. Burkhalter evaluate your bone, implant options, and whether full-arch treatment is possible.
2

Choosing the Right Full-Mouth Plan

Full-mouth dental implants are not one single treatment.

Some patients need All-on-X. Some need implant-supported dentures. Some need extractions first. Some need advanced support because of bone loss.

We explain which path fits your mouth, your goals, and your budget.
3

Removing Failing Teeth, If Needed

If some teeth cannot be saved, they may need to be removed before the implant restoration is built.

This step is planned carefully so you understand what happens, how healing works, and whether temporary teeth may be available.
4

Implant Placement

Dental implants are placed in planned positions to support your new teeth.

Local anesthesia is used, and IV sedation may be available for patients who want a calmer experience.
5

Temporary Teeth and Healing

Depending on your treatment plan, temporary teeth may be placed while your implants heal.

During this stage, we monitor healing, guide your diet, and make sure you know how to care for your mouth.
6

Final Teeth and Bite Adjustments

Once healing is complete, your final teeth are fitted and adjusted.

We check your bite, comfort, speech, appearance, and daily cleaning routine so your new smile feels stable and natural.
