If you’re struggling with missing, failing, or severely damaged teeth across your upper or lower jaw, full mouth dental implants may be the transformative solution you’ve been looking for. At Foothill Center for Dental Implants and Oral Surgery in Pasadena, we specialize in full arch treatments that restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently—all under the care of a dual-degree, board-certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, Dr. Christopher Chan.
What Are Full Mouth Dental Implants?
Full mouth dental implants (often referred to as All-on-4® dental implants) are a permanent solution for replacing all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw using as few as four dental implants to support a custom, natural-looking set of teeth.
Unlike removable dentures, full mouth implants are fixed in place, feel secure, and function like natural teeth. They also prevent the bone loss that typically follows tooth loss, helping preserve your facial structure long term.
Why Choose Foothill Center for Dental Implants and Oral Surgery?
Surgical Expertise You Can Trust
Dr. Chan is a board-certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon with dual degrees in dentistry and medicine, trained at both UCLA and USC. He has extensive experience in full arch dental implant procedures, soft and hard tissue regeneration, sinus augmentation, and more. You’re not only getting implants, but also care from a trusted implant expert with hospital privileges at Huntington Hospital.
Personalized Treatment Planning
Every case begins with a 3D cone beam CT scan, allowing us to visualize your bone structure and plan the most precise and efficient treatment path. Whether you’ve worn dentures for years or are losing teeth due to decay or trauma, Dr. Chan will assess your needs and craft a fully personalized plan.
A Personalized Experience
As an independently owned practice, we take the time to get to know you. Dr. Chan is known for personally following up with patients and giving them his direct phone number postoperatively. Your journey won’t be rushed, and your results won’t be compromised.

“Fantastic dental office for oral surgery. I’ve been to many and this one is hands down the best. I had all of my wisdom teeth removed at the same time. The procedure was painless and healed very quickly. Dr. Chan is wonderful, informative and straight forward.”

“Dr. Chan and team rock! I am a busy parent just like you. Got news that my 19 year old needed wisdom teeth extraction immediately. Leaving for college in less than a week, we were referred to Dr Chan and Foothill Center. They got us in quickly and recommended we do all four.

“Dr. Chan and staff are amazing. I had a broken tooth get infected and was causing severe pain. I was able to get a referral from my dentist to see Dr Chan for removal with sedation. Dr Chan was knowledgeable, took time to answer all my questions and had a great sense of humor (direly needed since I’d been in pain for about 4 days). ”
