“I just want to eat, laugh, and smile again—without worrying about my teeth.”
If that hits home, you’re in the right place. Whether you’re missing most of your teeth or struggling with dentures that slip, click, or cause sore spots, full mouth dental implants might be the solution that finally works.
And yes—it’s a big step. But for many of our patients in Tewksbury, MA, it’s been nothing short of life-changing.
Let’s walk through exactly what full mouth implants are, how they work, what to expect, and how we make it possible (and affordable!) at My Brand New Smile.
What Are Full Mouth Dental Implants?
Full mouth dental implants are a permanent solution for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. Instead of replacing each tooth one by one, we use just 4 to 6 dental implants per arch (top or bottom) to support a full set of new teeth.
It’s sometimes called:
- All-on-4®
- Implant-supported dentures
- Full arch replacement
- Hybrid prosthesis
Whatever you call it, the result is the same: a full, secure smile that looks and feels natural—with no slipping, no adhesives, and no worrying if your teeth will hold up during dinner.
Why Patients in Tewksbury Love Full Mouth Implants
Let’s be real: traditional dentures aren’t for everyone.
They can move, fall out, make it hard to chew, and even cause jawbone shrinkage over time. Here’s why full mouth implants are quickly becoming the go-to option:
-
They’re Secure
Your new teeth are locked in place—eat, talk, and laugh with total confidence.
-
They Look and Feel Real
Natural-looking materials and custom shaping mean your smile won’t just be full—it’ll look fantastic.
-
They Preserve Your Jawbone
Implants stimulate the bone and prevent facial sagging and premature aging caused by bone loss.
-
No Adhesives
Forget the messy pastes, powders, or suction. These teeth don’t budge.
-
They’re Built to Last
With proper care, your implants can last a lifetime.
The Full Mouth Implant Process: What to Expect
Here’s how it works step-by-step at My Brand New Smile in Tewksbury:
1. Free Consultation
We do a 3D scan of your jaw, assess your bone health, and walk through your goals and concerns. You’ll leave with a clear plan, timeline, and price.
2. Implant Surgery
We place 4–6 implants in your upper and/or lower jaw. This is done right here in our office. Sedation options are available if you’d prefer to nap through it!
3. Temporary Smile
Yes, you’ll leave with teeth. Often on the same day. These are temporary teeth designed to look great while your jaw heals over the next few months.
4. Final Teeth
Once your implants have fused to your jawbone (usually 3–6 months), we place your final custom-crafted teeth. Strong. Beautiful. Yours.
Is It Painful?
Here’s the honest answer:
Most patients say it was way easier than they expected.
You’ll be numbed and, if you choose, sedated for the surgery. Afterward, you might feel sore or swollen for a few days. We’ll give you pain management tips and check in regularly.
Most people are back to normal activities in 3–5 days.
What’s the Cost of Full Mouth Dental Implants in Tewksbury?
Let’s talk numbers.
On average:
- All-on-4 (single arch): $15,000–$30,000
- Full mouth (both arches): $25,000–$50,000
Yep, it’s a big investment. But it’s also a permanent solution—no more replacing dentures every 5 years.
At My Brand New Smile, we offer:
- Free consultations
- Transparent pricing (no surprises)
- Flexible monthly payments
- In-house and third-party financing
- Insurance coordination (we handle the paperwork)
We’ll walk you through every option, explain every cost, and help you build a plan that fits your life.
Not Everyone Needs the Same Plan
Every smile is different. That’s why we offer options:
- All-on-4®: Four implants support a full arch of teeth
- All-on-6: Six implants offer additional stability
- Snap-in dentures: A more affordable option that still uses implants for better security
- Full upper or lower only: Start with one arch if budget is a concern—many do!
We’ll help you decide what’s right for you.
How Long Does It Take?
From start to finish, the full process takes about 4 to 8 months, depending on healing.
But here’s the good part:
You won’t be without teeth at any point. We make sure you leave surgery with a temporary smile in place—so you can keep living your life while you heal.
Is Bone Loss a Problem?
Sometimes—but not always.
If you’ve been missing teeth for years, your jawbone may have shrunk. We use 3D imaging to check. If needed, we may recommend:
- Bone grafting
- A sinus lift
- Or special angled implants that avoid grafting altogether
Either way, we’ll create a plan that works for you—and explain everything clearly before anything begins.
Life After Full Mouth Implants
The best part? Once your final teeth are in, they feel like they’ve always been there.
- Eat what you want
- Smile without hesitation
- Laugh without worry
- Brush like normal (no soaking overnight!)
Patients often say they forget they even have implants. That’s how natural they feel.
Real Results from Real People
One patient told us:
“I didn’t realize how much I was holding back until I didn’t have to anymore. These teeth gave me my confidence back.”
Another said:
“No more dentures. No more paste. Just my smile. I wish I’d done this 10 years ago.”
This could be your story too.
