Dental Implant Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs About Full-Mouth Dental Implants

• What are full-mouth dental implants?

  Full-mouth dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing all or most of the teeth in your upper arch, lower arch, or both. A series of strategically placed dental implants supports a fixed, custom-designed restoration that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.

• Am I a candidate for full mouth dental implants?

  Many adults with multiple missing, damaged, or failing teeth are candidates for full mouth dental implants. Age alone does not determine eligibility. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your oral health, jawbone, medical history, and treatment goals to determine the best solution for you.

• What happens during an implant consultation?

  Your consultation includes a comprehensive exam, a discussion of the risks, benefits, and alternatives to treatment, and a review of your smile goals. If appropriate, we'll also discuss sedation options and use advanced diagnostics to begin planning your treatment.

• Will I need to have my remaining teeth removed?

  If your remaining teeth cannot be predictably restored, they may need to be removed before implants are placed. We'll discuss all of your treatment options and explain exactly what to expect before your procedure.

• What technology do you use to plan treatment?

  We use advanced technology, including CBCT (3D imaging), digital X-rays, intraoral scanners, intraoral cameras, and 3D printing to precisely plan implant placement and create highly accurate restorations.

• What if I'm anxious about implant surgery?

  You're not alone. Many of our patients come to us feeling nervous about dental treatment, but they often tell us how much easier the experience was than they expected. We offer several sedation options and take the time to ensure you feel comfortable and informed throughout your care.

  Sedation Options

• Do you offer financing for full-mouth dental implants?

  Yes. We accept CareCredit®, Cherry, Proceed Finance®, and Sunbit® to help make treatment more affordable. During your consultation, we'll review your financing options and help you find a payment solution that fits your budget.

  External Payment Plans

• Do you offer free implant consultations?

  We offer a free second opinion for patients who have already received an implant treatment recommendation elsewhere. If you're unsure about your options, we're happy to review your case and provide an honest, educational assessment.

  Yes. At Cocalico Dental, we stand behind the quality of our work and are committed to your long-term success.
