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.


Benefits of Full Mouth Dental Implants

  • Permanent, Fixed Teeth: Say goodbye to messy adhesives and slipping dentures. These teeth stay in place.
  • Improved Chewing Function: Enjoy your favorite foods again, with confidence and comfort.
  • Restored Confidence: Patients often say full arch implants change the way they see themselves.
  • Preserved Jawbone Health: Implants stimulate bone and prevent long-term facial collapse.
  • Faster Results with Immediate Options: With proper planning, we can often place implants and deliver a provisional set of teeth on the same day.

Best Full Mouth Dental Implant Candidates

Full mouth implants may be right for you if:

  • You are missing all or most of your teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
  • You’re tired of removable dentures.
  • You’ve been told you’re not a candidate due to bone loss (we offer sinus lifts and bone grafting).
  • You’re looking for a long-term investment in your oral health.

Dr. Chan will personally evaluate your health, lifestyle, and goals to determine if this is the ideal solution for you.
