Full-Mouth Dental Implants in Harlan, IA

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

Who Is a Candidate for Full-Mouth Dental Implants?
The Full-Mouth Dental Implant Process
Consultation and 3D Imaging
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.
Choosing the Right Full-Mouth Plan
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.
Removing Failing Teeth, If Needed
This step is planned carefully so you understand what happens, how healing works, and whether temporary teeth may be available.
Implant Placement
Local anesthesia is used, and IV sedation may be available for patients who want a calmer experience.
Temporary Teeth and Healing
During this stage, we monitor healing, guide your diet, and make sure you know how to care for your mouth.
Final Teeth and Bite Adjustments
We check your bite, comfort, speech, appearance, and daily cleaning routine so your new smile feels stable and natural.

At Markham Family Dental in Harlan, Dr. Burkhalter uses CBCT imaging to plan treatment and help patients compare All-on-X dental implants, implant-supported dentures, and other full-mouth implant options.
Full-mouth dental implants replace most or all missing and failing teeth with implant-supported restorations.
Depending on your needs, treatment may involve fixed full-arch teeth, implant-supported dentures, or a custom implant plan for both arches.
Not always.
All-on-X is one type of full-arch implant treatment. Full-mouth dental implants is a broader term that may include one arch, both arches, fixed teeth, implant dentures, or a complete smile rebuild.
You can learn more about All-on-X dental implants.
Yes. Full-mouth dental implants can replace all upper teeth, all lower teeth, or both arches.
The exact plan depends on your bone, bite, current teeth, health, and whether you want fixed or removable implant teeth.
For patients who want stronger chewing, better stability, and teeth that feel more secure, full-mouth dental implants can be a major upgrade from removable dentures.
Traditional dentures may still work for patients who want a lower-investment or non-surgical option. You can compare them on our dentures page.
Possibly. A 3D scan is needed to know how much bone support is available.
If upper-jaw bone loss is advanced, Dr. Burkhalter may discuss zygomatic implants, remote anchorage, or another advanced implant option.
The timeline depends on extractions, healing, implant placement, temporary teeth, and final restorations.
Some patients may receive temporary teeth during treatment. Final teeth are placed after the implants are stable and the bite can be properly adjusted.
