At Dental Arts of Florida, Dr. Fred Tepedino and his team provide comprehensive full-mouth implant care in Jacksonville, FL, including evaluation, extractions, bone grafting, implant placement, and final restoration. This coordinated approach helps reduce outside referrals and keeps your care streamlined from consultation to final teeth.
Call (904) 822-9786 to schedule your consultation.
Problem: Your dentures shift during meals, require adhesive, or cause sore spots. You might also notice changes in facial shape after years of tooth loss.
Solution: Full-arch implants, such as All-on-4 or All-on-6, anchor the restoration to your jawbone for stronger stability. If bone loss is present, Dr. Tepedino evaluates whether bone grafting or a modified implant approach is needed.
Problem: Several teeth are cracked, infected, loose, or beyond repair. Repeated dental work has not provided a reliable long-term solution.
Solution: Full-mouth implant treatment replaces failing teeth with a planned full-arch restoration. In suitable cases, fixed temporary teeth are placed on the same day as surgery.
Problem: Fear, embarrassment, or past dental experiences have delayed treatment, even though your teeth need care.
Solution: Dental Arts of Florida offers oral conscious sedation for longer procedures. The team explains each step before treatment begins and provides care in a supportive, judgment-free setting.
Problem: An accident or injury has caused the loss of multiple teeth, affecting your bite, appearance, and ability to chew.
Solution: Dr. Tepedino evaluates your bone and gum condition to determine whether implant treatment is suitable and whether immediate placement is appropriate.
Problem: Advanced periodontal disease has damaged the bone and tissue supporting your teeth. Some teeth might feel loose, painful, or infected.
Solution: Treatment might include removing compromised teeth, controlling infection, and planning a full-arch implant restoration. Bone grafting or sinus augmentation might be recommended when additional support is needed.
Problem: Missing teeth, long-term denture use, or gum disease has reduced the amount of bone available for implant support.
Solution: 3D imaging allows Dr. Tepedino to evaluate bone volume, sinus position, and nerve pathways. Your plan might include bone grafting, sinus augmentation, or an implant design that works around areas of reduced bone.
Your first visit includes a complete oral exam and a cone beam CT scan. The scan helps Dr. Tepedino review your jawbone, nerves, sinuses, gum health, and remaining teeth. You also receive a clear explanation of your options, treatment steps, and estimated cost before treatment begins.
Some patients need preparation before implant placement, such as extractions, bone grafting, or a sinus lift. When needed, this step helps create better support for the implants and becomes part of your full-arch treatment plan.
Dr. Tepedino places titanium implant posts in planned positions within the jawbone. Oral conscious sedation is available for patients who need added comfort. In many full-arch cases, temporary fixed teeth are attached the same day while the implants heal.
The jawbone bonds with the implant posts over the next few months. This creates the foundation for your permanent restoration. During this time, you wear temporary teeth and return for follow-up visits to check healing and implant stability.
Once the implants are stable, your permanent full-arch restoration is placed. It is designed to fit securely, look natural, and support daily chewing and speaking. The final material depends on your bite, treatment needs, and Dr. Tepedino’s recommendation.
Routine follow-up visits help monitor gum health, bite function, implant stability, and restoration wear. With proper home care and professional maintenance, full-mouth dental implants are designed for long-term function.

Snap-on dentures use two or more implants to secure a removable denture. They offer better stability than traditional dentures while remaining easier to remove and clean than fixed full-arch restorations.
An implant-supported bridge replaces several missing teeth without needing one implant for every tooth. This option works well for patients with multiple missing teeth who do not need a full-arch restoration.
For patients missing one or two teeth, a single implant-supported crown replaces the missing tooth without affecting nearby teeth. Learn more about the full range of dental implant options available at Dental Arts of Florida.
Traditional dentures are a removable, non-surgical option for patients who are not ready for implant treatment due to medical concerns, bone loss, or budget limitations. They restore basic function but do not provide the same stability or bone support as implant-based options.

The titanium implant posts used in Full-mouth implants are designed for long-term use. With proper care, they might last for decades. The prosthetic arch often needs replacement or adjustment after 10 to 15 years, depending on material, bite force, and maintenance.
Age alone does not prevent implant treatment. Your dentist will review your overall health, bone condition, medications, and healing ability before recommending implants. Many older adults qualify when their health and jawbone support are suitable.
Bone loss does not automatically rule out implants. Dr. Tepedino uses 3D imaging to measure bone volume. Depending on your condition, bone grafting, sinus augmentation, or angled implant placement may provide sufficient support for a full-arch restoration.
Most patients report less discomfort than expected. Treatment is performed with local anesthesia, and oral conscious sedation is available for added comfort. Post-surgical soreness is usually manageable with recommended pain relief and improves within a few days.
If same-day temporary teeth are placed, you will have functional teeth during the healing period. A soft-food diet is recommended for the first several weeks. Once healing is complete and your final restoration is placed, your dentist will guide you back to a fuller diet.
