The Full-Arch Solution to Restore Your Smile
Full mouth dental implants, more commonly known as full arch or full jaw dental implants, are a tooth replacement technique that can restore an entire arch of teeth with just four to six strategically placed implants. This innovative approach provides a fixed and stable dental restoration, allowing patients to enjoy improved oral function, speech, and aesthetics without the need for traditional dentures or multiple individual implants.
At Great Alpine Dental Advanced Aesthetics & Implants, we understand that missing teeth can be a significant source of discomfort, affecting everything from your oral health to the appearance of your smile. As such, we are proud to offer full jaw dental implant solutions for our patients in Northeast Victoria, Albury, Wodonga, Myrtleford, Beechworth, Bright and Wangaratta, helping you achieve the beautiful, healthy smile you deserve.

Benefits of Full Mouth Dental Implants
- Full mouth dental implants allow you to have a new set of teeth on one or both jaws with just four to six implants. As such, you can enjoy a fully restored smile and an improved quality of life.
- In most cases, you do not require bone grafting, making the treatment less invasive and requiring less recovery time than traditional implant treatments.
- Full mouth dental implants are designed to look and function just like natural teeth. They can restore your ability to bite, chew, and speak comfortably, and provide a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
- Unlike traditional dentures, full mouth implants provide a stable and secure foundation for your dental restoration. This means you won't have to worry about your dentures slipping or falling out, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with ease.
- It preserves the integrity of your remaining teeth, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene habits without having to worry about removing and cleaning dentures every night.
What to Expect During Full Mouth Dental Implant Treatment with Great Alpine Dental
- Comprehensive oral evaluation: Your first appointment with us will involve a comprehensive evaluation and consultation with our dental team. During this initial appointment, we will conduct a thorough evaluation of your dental health and discuss your goals and expectations for the treatment.
- Treatment planning: After the evaluation, we will create a personalised treatment plan for you, including the number and placement of the implants, the type of restoration, and any necessary restorative procedures before starting the treatment.
- Visualising your new smile: We use our Digital Smile Design (DSD) protocol to help you try out your new smile before deciding to proceed with the treatment. This allows you to see exactly how your new smile will look, and make any necessary adjustments before the procedure begins.
- Implant placement: On the day of your implant placement, our team will use local anaesthesia and in some cases, anti-anxiety drugs to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. We will then place the implants into your jawbone, typically using four to six implants for a full arch of teeth.
- Temporary restoration: Within 3-5 days after implant placement, we will attach a 3D printed temporary restoration to your implants to allow for proper healing and osseointegration. This immediate temporary set of 3D printed teeth will provide you with a functional and aesthetic smile while your implants heal.
- The healing period: The healing and osseointegration period may take several months. During this time, the implants will fuse with your jawbone, providing a stable and secure foundation for your final restoration.
- Follow-up appointments: You will need to come in for follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
At Great Alpine Dental Advanced Aesthetics & Implants, we understand that cost is an important consideration for our patients. The cost of full arch dental implants varies depending on the type of material used for the replacement teeth.
For high-impact acrylic teeth, the cost is $24,980 per jaw, while for zirconia ceramic teeth, the cost is $29,990 per jaw. However, these prices may vary depending on individual cases and the complexity of the procedure.
We believe in transparency and providing our patients with all the information they need to make informed decisions. During your initial consultation, our dental team will provide you with a detailed breakdown of the costs involved in your full mouth dental implant treatment plan.
It is important to note that sometimes, ceramic zirconia teeth may be the only feasible option due to various clinical factors. Our experienced dental team will assess your case and recommend the best course of treatment for you, ensuring optimal aesthetics, functionality, and long-term durability of your dental restoration.
Our primary goal is to preserve your natural teeth for as long as possible. As such, our team will only recommend full mouth dental implants if they are suitable for you. If your entire dentition does not need replacement, we have many other options available, so you can be assured that we will provide you with the appropriate advice suited to your unique situation.
