Full Mouth Dental Implants in Fort McCoy
When chewing becomes a daily negotiation — avoiding certain foods, favoring one side, taking your dentures out before a meal you were looking forward to — it's usually a sign that patch-by-patch repairs have run their course. Full mouth dental implants rebuild an entire arch, or both arches, on a foundation anchored in the jawbone. For patients in Fort McCoy, that means a set of teeth that stay put while you eat, talk, and laugh, without adhesive or the guesswork of a removable plate.
Full mouth dental implants replace all the teeth in an arch using a small number of titanium posts placed into the jawbone. Those posts act like roots. Once healing is underway, a fixed bridge or an implant-supported denture attaches to them, restoring the full chewing surface at once rather than tooth by tooth. Depending on your bone, your bite, and your preferences, that final restoration may be permanently fixed in place or designed as a secure snap-in denture you can remove for cleaning.
We offer several routes to the same goal, including All-on-4 dental implants, full arch dental implants, implant-supported bridges, and Teeth In A Day. The approach we recommend depends on what we find during your exam and imaging — not on a one-size-fits-all package. Fort McCoy patients often come to us after years of individual crowns, root canals, and extractions, and the conversation frequently shifts toward a full mouth rehabilitation plan that addresses the whole bite at once.
Several different situations bring Fort McCoy patients to this treatment. Some are already wearing complete dentures that slip or have been relined too many times. Others have advanced gum disease that has loosened multiple teeth and made them poor candidates for individual restorations. A third group has a mix of failing crowns, cracked teeth, and missing molars that would require a long sequence of separate procedures to repair.
Good candidacy comes down to a few practical factors: enough healthy bone to support implants, gum tissue in treatable condition, and a commitment to follow-up care. If bone volume is thin, we offer bone grafting and sinus lift surgery to build the site up first. If gum disease is active, we treat it with scaling and root planing, periodontal therapy, or periodontal surgery before implants go in. Needing those steps doesn't disqualify you — it simply means the plan has an extra phase.
- A single consultation and exam that maps out the full treatment sequence before anything begins
- Any needed preparation: simple or surgical extractions, bone grafting, or gum disease treatment
- Implant placement, with nitrous oxide or oral sedation available for comfort
- A healing period while the implants integrate with the jawbone
- Design and fitting of your final fixed bridge or implant-supported denture
- Ongoing implant maintenance and periodontal checkups to protect your investment
How We Handle Treatment and Aftercare
Our on-site dental lab shapes much of how this process feels for Fort McCoy patients. Because we fabricate and adjust restorations in our own building, denture repairs, relines, and crown work don't have to be mailed out and waited on. That matters most during the transition phase, when small adjustments to fit and bite make the difference between comfortable and frustrating. It also reduces the number of separate trips into Ocala, which is worth something when you're driving in from Fort McCoy.
Aftercare for full mouth implants is straightforward but non-negotiable. You'll brush and clean around the restoration daily, use the cleaning aids we demonstrate, and come in for regular professional cleanings and periodontal maintenance. Our hygienist monitors the gum tissue around each implant, and we check the fit of the restoration and the balance of your bite at every visit. If you grind at night, we can make a night guard to protect the work. If jaw soreness or clicking is part of your history, we also treat TMJ and orofacial pain, so that piece doesn't get overlooked.
Insurance, Financing, and Getting Started
We accept all major PPO insurance plans and file claims as a general practitioner, which keeps implant, surgical, periodontal, and prosthetic steps handled under one roof and one set of paperwork. We also welcome self-pay and cash patients, and we offer flexible payment plans so a full arch case can be phased into manageable payments rather than one lump sum. We'll give you a clear written plan before treatment starts.
Dr. Hussein Salifu and Dr. Marco Geris see patients of all ages here in Ocala, where we've practiced for more than 30 years. No referral is needed. If you're in Fort McCoy and tired of working around your teeth, call us to schedule a consultation — and if something is broken or painful right now, ask about an emergency appointment.
