If you don’t get full mouth dental implants, you will likely need to get dentures which are less durable and typically don't fit as well. Putting full mouth reconstruction off for a long period of time will increase bone loss in the jaw. The jaw will begin to have a sunken appearance since the teeth can't support the alveolar bone. This can also affect a patient’s confidence, as well as their ability to chew food, smile, or speak.

Do Full Mouth Dental Implants Hurt?

The short answer is no, full mouth dental implants should not hurt. In fact, most patients report very little pain after the procedure. However, each patient has a unique tolerance for pain which can vary. Several types of anesthesia used during the procedure may also affect how much pain you feel after the procedure is completed. If you are concerned about pain, we advise that you talk to your dentist during the consultation. They can clarify what to expect during and after the procedure.
