If you wear dentures, you already know the routine: the morning glue, the careful chewing, the quiet worry at dinner that something is going to shift at the wrong moment. A lot of our patients tell us they have simply stopped ordering certain foods at restaurants. Steak, corn, apples, anything that takes real biting.
You do not have to live this way. There is a way to replace a full set of upper or lower teeth with teeth that stay put, and for many people it can be done in a single day. We perform this procedure regularly here in West Palm Beach, and the reactions afterward are honestly the best part of our week. Here is how it works and what it costs, in plain terms.
This part surprises people. When you lose your teeth, the jawbone that used to hold them begins to shrink. Your body decides it no longer needs that bone, so it slowly reabsorbs it. That is why a denture that fit perfectly two years ago feels loose today, and why relines and replacement sets only buy you so much time.
Adhesive does not fix any of that. It holds things in place for a few hours and hides the real problem while the bone keeps shrinking underneath.
Implants are different because they sit inside the bone. Your jaw treats them like natural roots, which actually stops the shrinking and helps prevent the sunken facial appearance that comes with long-term denture wear.
You may have seen this advertised as All-on-4, All-on-6, or “teeth in a day.” Different names, same basic idea.
Instead of placing one implant for every missing tooth, which would take many surgeries and a great deal of money, we place four to six implants in the areas where your jaw is strongest. Then we attach a full bridge of teeth on top of those implants. The entire arch becomes one solid unit that is screwed down, not snapped in or held with paste.
You go home the same day with teeth that do not come out. You brush them like natural teeth and bite into food like natural teeth. After your jaw has had a few months to heal around the implants, we replace that first set with your permanent one.
Before we promise you anything, we need to see what we are working with. We take a 3D scan of your jaw right here in the office. It shows us how much bone you have, where your nerves and sinuses sit, and exactly where the implants can go. That scan normally costs around $350, and it is free with this offer.
Dr. Etemad sits down with you and reviews the scan on screen. You will see where the implants would go and what your new smile will look like before anything happens. We go over sedation, timing, and the full cost up front, with no surprise charges later.
On the day itself, we remove any teeth that need to come out, place the implants, and attach your new set of fixed teeth. You are sedated the entire time, so you stay comfortable. Most people tell us afterward that they had built it up in their minds to be far worse than it actually was.
Over the next three to six months, your jawbone fuses to the implants. The technical term is osseointegration, but all you need to know is that this is what makes everything permanent. You wear your new teeth the whole time and stick to softer foods while things settle.
Once you are healed, we craft your final set from stronger, custom-shaded material and attach it to the same implants. That is the finish line.
Most people who wear dentures, or who are about to lose the rest of their teeth, are good candidates. You are likely a fit if you are missing most or all of the teeth in your upper or lower jaw and you would rather not deal with a removable plate for the rest of your life.
Conditions like diabetes or smoking do not automatically rule you out. They simply factor into how we plan your treatment. And if you have been told elsewhere that you do not have enough bone, do not take that as the final word. Full-arch implants are placed at angles that work with less bone than traditional implants require, and when bone really is too thin, we have other options, including implants that anchor into the cheekbone.
The thing we hear most often is, “I figured I was too far gone for this.” Usually the scan says otherwise.
The medical benefits are real. You keep your jawbone, you get your bite strength back, and you stop fighting with adhesive every morning.
But that is not what patients talk about when they come back. They tell us they ate a steak for the first time in years. That they laughed in a photo without thinking about it. That they no longer keep a glass of water with their teeth in it beside the bed. One patient told us she had been holding her hand in front of her mouth when she talked, for so long that she did not even realize she was doing it, until she stopped.
We do not like making people dig for pricing, so here it is. Full-mouth implant teeth are $7,777 per arch for a limited time, which is well below what most practices around West Palm Beach charge.
That price covers the 3D scan, placement of the four to six implants, your same-day teeth, the follow-up visits during healing, and your final restoration.
We also offer 0% financing if you would rather spread it out. Many patients realize the monthly payment is not far from what they were already spending on adhesive, relines, and the occasional emergency visit when an old denture cracked. Over ten years of patching up dentures, this route often comes out cheaper, and you actually get to enjoy your teeth in the meantime.
Limited-time offer: full-mouth implants starting at $7,777 per arch. 0% financing available for those who qualify, plus a free consultation and 3D scan, a $350 value.
People are usually most nervous the morning of, and it is almost always for nothing. You arrive a little early. We review the plan one more time and begin your sedation. Most patients choose IV sedation and barely remember the appointment.
The work itself takes a few hours. You rest while we place the implants and attach the teeth. By the afternoon or early evening, you head home with someone to drive you, a sheet of aftercare instructions, and a number to call if anything comes up.
Expect some swelling and soreness for the first couple of days. Prescription medication handles it, and by day three most people are off it and back to their normal routine, eating soft foods for a while.
This is the longest part, but also the easiest. Once the first few days pass, your temporary teeth work well enough that most patients are back at work within a week.
A few practical notes:
While all of this is happening, your bone is locking onto the implants. By the time we hand you the final set, they are as solid as natural roots.
There are plenty of practices offering implants in South Florida. Here is what we would point to.
Dr. Robert Etemad has handled full-arch cases for years, with a focus on getting the placement right the first time. We run the 3D scan in our own office instead of sending you across town for it. We have earned more than 336 five-star reviews, and many of those patients were told elsewhere that they could not get fixed teeth. Everything happens under one roof, from the first consultation to your cleanings years down the road, so you are not bouncing between offices with your records trailing behind.
And we are easy to reach. The office is on Forest Hill Boulevard, a short drive from Wellington, Lake Worth, Palm Beach Gardens, Royal Palm Beach, and Greenacres.
You are sedated during the surgery, so you will not feel the procedure itself. There is some soreness and swelling for the first two days, but prescription medicine takes care of it. Most patients say it was easier than they had feared.
With good care, implants are built to last decades, often for life. The titanium becomes part of your jaw. The teeth attached on top can wear over many years and may eventually need replacing, the same way natural teeth do.
They will. We design the final teeth around your face, matching the color, shape, and size. Most people will have no idea they are not your own unless you tell them.
We hear this a lot. Full-arch implants use angled placement that works with less bone than standard implants, and when there genuinely is not enough, options like grafting or cheekbone-anchored implants solve it. The scan tells us exactly where you stand, so come find out instead of guessing.
All-on-4 simply means four implants in an arch. We use whatever number your case actually calls for, sometimes four, sometimes six. The concept is the same either way: a full set of fixed teeth held by a handful of well-placed implants.
Often some of it, yes, usually the extractions and sometimes part of the implant work. We will check your benefits and tell you what is covered before you commit to anything.
Age by itself is not the issue. We have done this for patients in their 70s and 80s who are now eating better than they have in twenty years. Your overall health matters more than the number. The consultation will give you a clear answer.
The first visit is free, and it is simply information. You get the scan, you get your questions answered, and you leave knowing what is actually possible for you. No one is going to push you into anything.
If you are tired of fighting with loose dentures, we would genuinely like to meet you.
