My boyfriend needs implants – from Suzi G.
my boyfriend has really bad teeth, many are missing and he has Bad gaps between the few teeth he has. He needs full mouth implants and i want to get this for him but im trying to see what process are for such a procedure if you can give me an average quote before i bring him. Thanks!
Full mouth dental implants can be a life-changing solution for someone with extensive tooth loss, restoring both function and confidence. The process typically involves a consultation, where the dentist evaluates bone density and oral health to determine if additional procedures, like bone grafting, are needed. After this, implant posts are surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as artificial roots.
Once healed, custom prosthetic teeth are attached, providing a natural look and feel. A sedation dentist is often recommended for this procedure to ensure comfort, especially for patients with anxiety or those undergoing extensive work.
While this is a significant investment, the long-term benefits—such as improved chewing ability, enhanced appearance, and boosted confidence—make it worthwhile. If you’re considering this for your boyfriend, consulting with an experienced implant specialist will give you a clearer picture of his specific needs and options.
Dr. Devoll’s Respons:
Suzy I am sorry your boyfriend is having problems with his teeth. Removing his teeth, placing implants and giving him a great smile Snap On Smile is not a problem. It is very difficult for me to give a quote without knowing more about his particular situation. I would need to know how many teeth need to be removed, does he want teeth in one day (all on 4), does he have enough bone for dental implants, will he need bone grafts……… the list is long. During his first appointment I will take a CT-scan of his jaw bones and put together his options based on his particular situation. We will look at example models of his options and discuss the pros and cons of each option. One can also go for invisalign treatment to fix one’s teeth and to align them.
The cost depends on all of the above and also the type of tooth replacement option he would like. For example, he may want a removable denture that he can take out when he would like to clean it, but is stabilized with dental implants while it is in the mouth. Alternatively, he may want teeth that are permanently attached to implants that don’t come out at all. It is really hard for me to give you dollar amounts until I have had an opportunity to evaluate his situation and know how he would like to replace his teeth. I would be very happy to see him if you wold like to bring him in for an evaluation.
