Full Mouth Dental Implants in West Hills
Full mouth dental implants replace an entire arch of teeth, or both arches, with a fixed set of teeth anchored to implants placed in the jawbone. Instead of relying on adhesives or on remaining teeth that are failing, the new teeth are supported by posts that function much like natural tooth roots. At 805 Dentistry, we plan and place full mouth implants for patients from West Hills and throughout the surrounding communities. Our Thousand Oaks office brings implant surgery, imaging, sedation, and lab work together under one roof.
Full mouth dental implants use a small number of strategically placed implants per arch to hold a complete set of replacement teeth. Depending on your bone and your goals, we may recommend an approach such as All-on-4, All-on-6, or another All-on-X design. Some patients do best with a fixed bridge that only our team removes. Others prefer an implant-supported or snap-in denture they can take out for cleaning.
The patients we see for this treatment have a range of situations. Some have worn conventional dentures for years and are frustrated with slipping or sore spots. Others have several failing teeth from decay, gum disease, or old dental work that has broken down. Some have already lost most of their teeth and want a stable, long-term option. Because we offer complete and partial dentures, implant-supported bridges, and full mouth reconstruction, we can compare these paths with you honestly rather than steering every case toward one answer.
West Hills patients choose us because complex implant care often involves several specialties, and we keep them together. Our team includes a board-certified periodontist who places dental implants and provides implant maintenance. A board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist reads your 3D scans, and a board-certified dental anesthesiologist provides sedation. You avoid being sent to separate offices for each step.
We also have an on-site dental lab, which helps our clinicians and technicians coordinate closely on the fit and appearance of your new teeth. Dr. Dar Radfar leads our practice, which serves families across the region, from Calabasas and Woodland Hills to West Hills and beyond.
Am I a good candidate for full mouth implants?
Many adults with missing, failing, or loose teeth are candidates, and an exam with 3D imaging is the way to find out. We use CBCT imaging to evaluate bone volume, nerve position, sinus anatomy, and the health of any remaining teeth.
Limited bone does not automatically rule you out. We perform bone grafting and sinus lift surgery when extra support is needed, and certain All-on-X designs are planned specifically to make use of available bone. If gum disease is present, our periodontist can treat it first. We'll also review your medical history and talk through whether a fixed or removable option better fits your health, habits, and budget.
What does the full mouth implant process involve?
The process moves through planning, surgery, healing, and final restoration, and we explain each stage before it begins. Here is what to expect:
- Consultation and imaging: an exam, CBCT scans, and a discussion of your goals and options.
- Treatment planning: we map implant positions and design your new teeth, sometimes using digital smile design.
- Surgery day: any remaining failing teeth are extracted, grafting is done if needed, and the implants are placed.
- Healing period: the implants integrate with the jawbone over time, and we monitor your progress.
- Final teeth: your permanent restoration is fabricated and attached or fitted.
For comfort, we offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia, administered by our dental anesthesiologist. Patients with dental anxiety often find this makes a major procedure far more manageable. We'll recommend a level of sedation based on the length of your procedure and how you feel about treatment.
How do I care for my implants afterward?
Daily cleaning and regular professional visits are essential to keeping full mouth implants healthy. The gum tissue around implants can become inflamed if plaque builds up, so we'll show you how to clean around and beneath your restoration at home.
Our periodontist provides ongoing implant maintenance, which includes checking the tissue, the implants, and the restoration at follow-up appointments. We also offer night guards for patients who grind or clench, which can help protect the new teeth. If anything feels loose or uncomfortable, call us. We offer emergency dental appointments.
How can I pay for full mouth dental implants?
We accept all major PPO insurance plans, welcome self-pay patients, and offer financing. Coverage for implants varies widely between plans, so our team will review your benefits and explain what may apply before treatment begins.
Because every case is different, we provide your treatment cost after your consultation and imaging rather than quoting a general figure. Financing can spread the investment into manageable payments. If you live in West Hills and are ready to explore a fixed, stable smile, contact 805 Dentistry to schedule your consultation.
