Pee Dee Implant Center provides full mouth dental implants in Florence, South Carolina for patients across the Pee Dee region. Full mouth reconstruction on implants is a category, not a single procedure. It covers everything from two implants anchoring a lower denture at $6,000 to fixed zirconia arches on both jaws at $55,000. This page compares the routes so you can work out which one your case actually calls for before anybody quotes you.
What are the full mouth implant options and what do they cost?
There are four. A two-implant overdenture runs $6,000 to $10,000 per arch and clips out. A four-implant overdenture runs $10,000 to $15,000 per arch and is more stable. All-on-4 is fixed and runs $20,000 to $30,000 per arch. All-on-6 adds $4,000 to $7,000 on top of that and spreads load further back. Individual implants for every tooth, eight or more per arch, runs $60,000 upwards and is rarely the right answer.
How many implants do I need for a full mouth?
Between four and eight per arch. Four splinted implants carry a fixed arch because load is shared across the bridge, which is why replacing 14 teeth does not take 14 implants. Six is used where bone volume allows it and the patient wants molar-position support. Two is the minimum for a removable lower overdenture, four for an upper because the maxilla is less dense.
Fixed or removable for a full mouth?
Fixed costs two to three times more, delivers close to natural chewing force and never comes out. Removable costs less, clips out for cleaning, and gives you 70 to 80 percent of chewing force against the 20 to 25 percent a conventional denture manages. The decider is daily hygiene, not budget. Peri-implantitis affects 10 to 20 percent of implants over ten years and it begins with what does not get cleaned. See implant-supported dentures for the removable route.
How long does full mouth treatment take?
Six to twelve months from first surgery to final prosthesis. Extractions and any bone grafting come first, then placement, then three to six months of osseointegration, then the final arch. Immediate-load protocols give you fixed temporary teeth on surgery day, so you are not without teeth at any point. Our step-by-step process guide sets out each stage.
Can I do one arch now and the other later?
Yes, and it is common. Most patients start with the lower jaw, where conventional dentures perform worst, then treat the upper twelve to eighteen months on. Staging also spreads the cost across two insurance benefit years, which recovers $1,000 to $2,000 of annual maximum that a single-year plan would waste.
Technician insight
Almost nobody needs an implant per tooth. Patients arrive having priced 28 implants and talked themselves out of treatment entirely, when four per arch would have carried the same result for a quarter of the money. If a quote scales with tooth count rather than arch count, ask why.
