The Details Behind Comfortable, Long-Lasting Implant Care

01Gum Grafting: The Details You Don’t See Begin with the Gums

• 02Guided Surgery

  

  A Difference of 1 Degree or 1 mm Can Matter

  Detailed implant analysis and digital simulation help improve surgical precision by planning subtle differences in implant position, angle, and depth.

• 03Precision Occlusal Adjustment

  

  Comfort Comes Down to Fractions of a Millimeter

  Natural teeth can detect extremely small differences in bite contact. As the number of implants increases, precise prosthetic fabrication and occlusal adjustment become increasingly important for comfort, function, and long-term maintenance.

• 04Customized Abutments

  

  Customized to Your Bone and Gum Anatomy

  A custom abutment is individually designed to fit the patient’s implant position and gum contours, helping create a more natural emergence profile and supporting comfort and long-term maintenance.

Full-Mouth Implant FAQ

• How much does full-mouth implant treatment cost?

  • The cost of full-mouth implant treatment varies depending on the clinic and the complexity of each case. When both the upper and lower arches require full-mouth implant rehabilitation, the total cost may range from the high KRW 10 millions to the low KRW 30 millions.
    Three main factors affect the overall cost: the cost per implant, the number of implants required, and whether additional procedures such as bone grafting or sinus augmentation are necessary.

• How many visits are required for full-mouth implant treatment?

  • The number of visits depends largely on the condition of your bone, gums, and temporomandibular joints (TMJs).

    · Favorable bone, gum, and TMJ conditions: approximately 3–4 visits

    · Moderate bone, gum, and TMJ conditions: approximately 5–7 visits

    · Compromised bone, gum, or TMJ conditions: approximately 8–10 visits

• How long does full-mouth implant treatment take?

  • Treatment time also varies depending on the condition of the bone, gums, and TMJs.

    · Favorable conditions: approximately 3–4 months

    · Moderate conditions: approximately 5–6 months

    · Compromised conditions: approximately 7–12 months

    Additional procedures such as bone grafting or sinus augmentation may extend the overall treatment period.

• Do my remaining teeth have to be extracted? Can any of them be saved?

  • Preserving natural teeth is always an important priority in dentistry. However, full-mouth rehabilitation requires a comprehensive treatment plan that considers the long-term prognosis of each remaining tooth and how it will contribute to the final result.
    Teeth with a favorable prognosis are preserved whenever clinically appropriate. However, teeth with severe root damage, advanced periodontal disease, or excessive mobility may have a poor long-term prognosis and may need to be extracted.

• How many implants are needed for full-mouth rehabilitation?

  • There is no single number that is right for every patient. The ideal number depends on bone availability, bite forces, the type of prosthesis, the condition of the opposing teeth, and the overall treatment plan.
    When clinically appropriate, using a sufficient number of implants helps distribute chewing forces more effectively. We determine the appropriate number by balancing biomechanical stability, the patient’s anatomy, treatment goals, and cost.

• How long does full-mouth implant surgery take?

  • Full-mouth implant surgery is often performed separately for the upper and lower arches. Surgery typically takes approximately 60–90 minutes per arch, although the actual time varies depending on the number of implants, bone condition, and whether additional procedures are required.

• Is it safe to place multiple implants during the same surgery?

  • Multiple implants can be placed during a single procedure when the patient’s overall health, bone condition, and surgical plan allow it. In suitable cases, treating one arch in a single well-planned procedure may reduce the number of separate surgeries and anesthesia sessions.
    Whether implants should be placed at once or in stages is determined individually after evaluating systemic health, surgical complexity, bone grafting requirements, and expected treatment time.

• Can I have full-mouth implants if I have a medical condition?

  • Medical conditions such as diabetes, osteoporosis, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and kidney disease do not automatically rule out implant treatment. However, careful medical assessment is essential.
    We review your medical history and medications and, when necessary, coordinate with your physician before surgery. Any adjustment or interruption of medication should only be made in consultation with the prescribing physician. Preventive antibiotics may also be considered when clinically indicated.

• When can I return to my normal daily routine after full-mouth implant surgery?

  • Many patients can return to light daily activities relatively soon after surgery and may be able to begin a soft diet within the first few days. More complex cases involving extensive bone grafting or additional surgery may require a longer recovery period.
    Your individual recovery schedule and dietary instructions will be provided according to the extent of surgery and initial healing.

• Will I have teeth immediately after full-mouth implant surgery?

  • In selected cases, temporary teeth can be provided shortly after implant placement. The Square Dental Clinic has an in-house digital dental laboratory, allowing temporary restorations to be fabricated within approximately 1–3 days when immediate or early loading is clinically appropriate.
    If primary implant stability is insufficient—particularly in some upper-jaw cases—a stable temporary denture may be provided instead while the implants heal.

• How long do full-mouth implants last?

  • Dental implants are designed for long-term use, but they should not be considered permanent or maintenance-free. Their longevity depends on factors such as oral hygiene, gum and bone health, bite forces, smoking, systemic health, and regular professional maintenance.
    Regular examinations allow us to identify potential problems early and manage them before they become more serious.

• Do I need full-mouth implant treatment?

  • Full-mouth implant rehabilitation may be considered when only a few natural teeth remain or when many remaining teeth have severe mobility and a poor long-term prognosis.
    However, the decision should never be based simply on the number of remaining teeth. A comprehensive examination is necessary to identify which teeth can and should be preserved and which teeth may compromise the long-term treatment outcome if retained.

• Is full-mouth implant treatment covered by Korean National Health Insurance for patients aged 65 and older?

  • Korean National Health Insurance coverage for dental implants is subject to specific eligibility requirements, including age, the number of covered implants, and the patient’s remaining teeth. Coverage rules may change, so eligibility should be confirmed at the time of consultation.
    Our team can review your current oral condition and explain which portions of your treatment may qualify for insurance coverage.

• Which implant systems are used for full-mouth implant treatment?

  • The Square Dental Clinic uses several implant systems, including Osstem SOI, Osstem BA, Osstem SA, Neo IS-III, and Straumann BLT. The appropriate implant system is selected according to bone quality, implant site, surgical requirements, and the overall treatment plan.
    Regardless of the implant system selected, customized abutments and high-strength zirconia restorations can be fabricated through our in-house digital dental laboratory according to the individual case.

• Why is experience especially important for full-mouth implant treatment?

  • Full-mouth implant rehabilitation is significantly more complex than replacing a single missing tooth. The treatment must restore not only individual teeth, but also the bite, chewing function, vertical dimension, smile, and overall harmony of the face.
    Successful treatment therefore requires comprehensive diagnosis, precise implant positioning, sophisticated prosthetic design, careful bite adjustment, and coordinated long-term maintenance.

• What are the advantages and disadvantages of implant-supported dentures compared with full-mouth fixed implant treatment?

  • Implant-supported dentures may include several different treatment concepts, such as implant overdentures and certain full-arch or hybrid prosthetic designs. Compared with individually restored fixed implants, they may require fewer implants and can therefore be more cost-effective in suitable cases.
    However, function, comfort, removability, hygiene requirements, and maintenance differ depending on the type of prosthesis. The most appropriate option should be selected according to the patient’s bone condition, remaining teeth, functional needs, expectations, and budget.
    Implant-supported dentures may be considered when:

    · Placement of multiple implants is not possible or desirable

    · The patient wishes to reduce the number of implants or the extent of surgery

    · Conventional dentures are uncomfortable or unstable

    · A more cost-conscious implant-supported treatment option is desired

    The cost varies between clinics and depends on factors such as the number and type of implants, additional surgical procedures, and the design and material of the final prosthesis.
