Missing or damaged teeth can affect everyday activities such as eating, speaking, and smiling. At Mercer Island Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we understand how important a healthy smile is to your comfort and confidence. We proudly offer full mouth dental implants to patients of Mercer Island as a reliable way to restore function and appearance, helping you enjoy life more fully.
What Are Full Mouth Dental Implants?
Full mouth dental implants replace all of the teeth in your upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. Instead of relying on removable dentures, this treatment uses multiple dental implants placed in the jawbone to support a complete set of replacement teeth.
- Strong Foundation – Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots made of titanium.
- Secure Connections – Your dentist will choose the right pieces to ensure your new teeth fit comfortably and securely.
- Natural Smile – Your dentist will design replacement teeth that look and feel like your own.
With proper care, full mouth dental implants may last up to a lifetime.
Benefits of Choosing Full Mouth Dental Implants
Patients choose this option because it:
- Restores a complete smile that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth
- Provides stability without slipping or shifting like traditional dentures
- Preserves bone and helps prevent further jawbone loss
- Improves chewing ability and comfort so you can enjoy your favorite foods
Gives you the confidence to smile and speak freely
Who Is a Candidate?
You may be a candidate for full mouth dental implants if you:
- Have lost most or all of your teeth
- Have sufficient jawbone structure or are willing to undergo bone grafting

During your consultation, we will evaluate your health, jawbone condition, and goals to determine the right approach for your treatment.
