mediDental care, is a top dental implant specialist in Astoria, is one of the few implant dentists in the New York region offering advanced full mouth restoration options, including mini dental implants and the latest All on Four and All on Six dental implant procedures. At mediDental Care, our expert team ensures you get the most advanced care to restore your smile.
Full mouth dental implants involve using multiple implants to support a bridge that replaces 10 or 12 teeth. This type of restoration can be either screwed or cemented in place. The All on 6 implants are specifically designed to restore an entire upper or lower arch of teeth in one complete bridge, often referred to as full mouth dental implants restoration or complete arch replacement.
The custom-designed bridge replicates your natural teeth, restoring both appearance and functionality. The biting strength is similar to that of real teeth, and the bridge supports your cheek and lip muscles, maintaining the correct height between your upper and lower jaws. This support ensures a natural look and prevents facial features from collapsing inward.
We usually prefer to screw in large bridges as they can be easily retrieved for maintenance if needed. The screws are covered with tooth-colored composite resin, making them invisible.
The exact number of implants required varies based on whether it is a lower or upper arch and the number of teeth being replaced. Generally, we use All on 6 dental implants.
All on 6 dental implants are suitable for healthy individuals of any age. Before placing the implants, our dental implant specialist will examine your mouth and review your medical history, as systemic diseases and medications can affect the healing process.
For full mouth tooth replacement, six dental implants are strategically placed throughout your upper or lower arch. Each implant needs sufficient bone support. If you have significant bone loss due to advanced periodontal disease or other factors, bone grafting techniques can build up the bone to support the implants. There is no evidence suggesting that age or gender affects the success of All on Six dental implant treatments.

All on 6 dental implants use six strategically placed implants to support a complete bridge, replacing an entire arch of teeth (upper or lower).
Healthy individuals who need a full arch replacement and can undergo minor surgery are ideal candidates. A thorough examination and review of your medical history will determine suitability.
The process, including healing, can take several months. It starts with consultations and diagnostic tests, followed by implant placement and a healing period of three to six months before the final bridge is attached.
Discomfort is manageable with over-the-counter pain medications. Some swelling and tenderness are normal but typically subside within a few days.
No, you will receive temporary teeth to wear while your implants heal, so you are never without teeth.
Care involves regular brushing, flossing, dental check-ups, and avoiding hard foods that could damage the implants.
Coverage varies by insurance plan. Check with your provider to understand what is covered. Financing options may also be available.
Implants offer a permanent solution that looks and feels like natural teeth, preserves jawbone density, and provides better stability and function compared to removable dentures.
