Full mouth restorations in Port Washington
When many teeth are worn, broken or missing, treating them one at a time rarely works. A full mouth restoration rebuilds your bite as a whole, with implants, full-arch bridges, crowns or dentures, so you can eat, speak and smile with confidence again.
Who it's for
- Several missing teeth, or teeth that are failing one after another
- A denture that slips, rubs or no longer fits
- Teeth badly worn down from years of grinding
- Many old fillings and crowns that keep breaking
- Difficulty chewing, or avoiding smiling because of your teeth
Your options
| All-on-X implant bridge | Implant-retained denture | Traditional denture | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it stays in | Fixed on 4–6 implants; only the dentist removes it | Snaps onto implants; you remove it to clean | Rests on the gums, held by suction or adhesive |
| Feel and chewing | Closest to natural teeth | Much more secure than a denture | Can move when eating or talking |
| Covers the palate | No | Usually not | Yes (upper) |
| Surgery | Yes, implant placement | Yes, fewer implants | No |
All-on-X full-arch implant bridges
A complete arch of teeth is anchored on four to six implants. Because it's fixed, it doesn't slip, doesn't cover the roof of your mouth, and lets you bite into foods that dentures make difficult. Temporary teeth are usually placed while the implants heal, and the final bridge is made once they're fully integrated.
Implant-retained dentures
Two or more implants act as anchors that your denture snaps onto. It's a big step up in stability from a traditional denture, at a lower cost than a fixed bridge.
Rebuilding worn teeth
If you still have your teeth but they're worn down, chipped or heavily restored, we can rebuild them with crowns, onlays and veneers, often after correcting the bite, so they work together and last.
Planned in 3D
Full mouth cases start with a cone-beam CT scan, a 3D iTero scan, photos and a bite analysis. We map bone, nerves and sinuses, plan implant positions, and design your new teeth digitally, so you can see the plan before treatment starts. Implants are placed with custom 3D-printed surgical guides made in our office.
What to expect
- Consultation and 3D scan. We review your goals, health and options, with timelines and costs for each.
- Preparation. Any extractions, gum treatment or bone grafting that's needed.
- Implant placement and temporary teeth. You leave with a temporary set of teeth in most cases.
- Healing. Usually three to six months while the implants bond with the bone.
- Your final teeth. Designed, tried in and adjusted until the fit, bite and look are right.

Common questions
Will I have teeth during treatment?
Yes. With full-arch implant treatment, temporary teeth are usually placed while the implants heal, and denture patients can wear an immediate denture.
Is All-on-X better than a denture?
A fixed implant bridge doesn't come out and doesn't cover the palate, so most people find it chews and feels more like natural teeth. Dentures cost less and need no surgery. We'll help you weigh both.
Am I too old for implants?
Age alone usually isn't the issue. Overall health and bone matter more, and we'll review both at your consultation.
How long does a full mouth restoration take?
It depends on the plan. Implant cases typically take three to six months from placement to final teeth; rebuilding worn teeth can often be done in a few visits.
How do I care for an All-on-X bridge?
Brush twice a day, clean under the bridge with a water flosser or special floss, and keep up regular professional cleanings and checkups.
