DENTAL IMPLANTS
Full Mouth Implants
DSA Dental Smile Art
A Fixed Solution for All Your Teeth
This page focuses on fixed, implant-supported replacement of all teeth in one or both jaws; implant-retained removable dentures are discussed separately as an alternative. Full mouth implant treatment is an implant-supported fixed prosthesis for patients whose teeth are all missing, or cannot be saved, in the upper or lower jaw (or both). At DSA Dental Smile Art in Kuşadası, we prepare a personal treatment plan after a free examination and 3D CT scan, based on your bone, age and expectations.
What Are Full Mouth Implants and What Are the Options?
The aim of full mouth implants is to rebuild the whole jaw with a fixed set of teeth carried on a small number of implants. Unlike a removable full denture, the teeth stay fixed in the mouth, the palate is not covered and your sense of taste is not affected.
Main options:
- All-on-4: 4 implants per jaw with a fixed bridge on top. It can often be done without a bone graft in patients with bone loss.
- All-on-6: 6 implants per jaw. It gives a wider support base and is preferred especially in the upper jaw and for patients with a strong bite.
- Conventional segmented bridges: if there is enough bone, 6–8 implants per jaw with zirconia bridges in sections.
- Implant-retained removable denture: a denture that clips onto 2–4 implants (locator system) and can be removed for cleaning – an alternative depending on budget and bone.
Who is it suitable for? Adults who have lost all their teeth, are bothered by loose dentures, or whose remaining teeth cannot be saved because of advanced gum disease, and whose general health allows minor surgery.
Free initial assessment: the first examination, panoramic X-ray and 3D dental CT scan are free at our clinic. The 3D scan helps your dentist assess the available bone and plan the dimensions and position of each implant.
Our own laboratory: implant crowns and bridges are made in our in-house dental laboratory. The dentist and technician can check colour, shape and fit on the same day, which shortens the time between impressions and the final teeth.
Which implant brands do we use? We work with internationally certified Osstem, Hiossen and BEGO implant systems. If you prefer a different brand, we can source other well-known brands for you. You choose the brand together with your dentist, based on your bone, treatment plan and expectations.
Fixed or Removable? Prosthesis Options
When all teeth are missing, there are several prosthesis options with and without implants. The table below compares them; you decide which suits you with your dentist after the examination and 3D CT scan.

| Can you remove it? | No, only the dentist can | Yes, for cleaning | Yes |
| Retention | Closest to natural teeth | Held by attachments, very stable | Rests on the palate and gums, may move |
| Palate | Not covered | Often less coverage in the upper jaw | Covers the palate in the upper jaw |
| Cleaning | In the mouth, with floss and a water flosser | Removed for cleaning | Removed for cleaning |
Which option suits you depends on your bone and expectations. For details see our All-on-4 and All-on-6 pages, and for what affects the price see our dental implant cost in Kuşadası page.

Why Full Mouth Implants?
- Fixed, secure teeth: the teeth do not move when you speak, smile or eat, and no adhesive is needed.
- Chewing power restored: with implant-supported teeth you can chew hard and fibrous foods far more comfortably than with removable dentures.
- The palate stays open: there is no plate covering the palate in the upper jaw, so taste and speech remain natural.
- Bone and facial contours preserved: implants slow the shrinking of the jawbone and help prevent a sunken, aged look.
- A long-lasting solution: with regular care and check-ups it lasts for many years; if the prosthesis wears, only the restoration needs renewing while the implants are kept.

Treatment at a Glance
Full mouth implant treatment usually takes 3–6 months in total, depending on the method chosen and your bone. Most of this time is healing, spent with temporary fixed teeth.
For patients from abroad, treatment is usually completed in two visits: examination, CT scan, extractions and implant placement on the first visit, then the final zirconia teeth fitted within 7 days on a second visit about 3 months later.
