Question and answer

Replacing full set of teeth

A full set of teeth can be replaced with complete dentures, implant-retained dentures, or fixed implant bridges after examination and imaging.

The short answer

Full-mouth replacement concerns all teeth in one or both jaws. Bone, gums, bite, health, and whether any teeth can be preserved determine the options.
