All-on-4™
Dental Implants

Replace missing teeth in just one day and regain your confidence, comfort, and natural-looking smile.

Tooth loss and severe dental issues can significantly impact both health and quality of life. Many people suffer from multiple dental and gum diseases that contribute to poor oral health, affecting not just their smile but also their ability to eat and speak comfortably. In advanced cases, traditional treatments may no longer be sufficient - this is where full mouth rehabilitation comes in.

Full mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive treatment designed to restore function, aesthetics, and confidence in patients with extensive dental problems. Full mouth rehabilitation is a solution that restores both function and aesthetics, giving patients back their natural smile. Whether due to tooth decay, gum disease, accidents, or aging, this treatment combines modern dental techniques to fully reconstruct a patient’s bite and appearance.

At Dr. Kraus’ Dental and Implant Clinic in Mainz, we specialize in advanced full mouth restorations, including dental implants, the All-on-4® concept, and other innovative treatments. Our goal is to provide fast, predictable, and long-lasting results using cutting-edge 3D imaging, digital planning, and high-quality prosthetics from our in-house laboratory.

A successful full mouth rehabilitation requires experience and seamless collaboration between multiple dental disciplines. As experts in complex cases, we work closely with specialized endodontists, implantologists, and other professionals to ensure optimal treatment outcomes. By bringing together all areas of modern dentistry under one roof, we streamline the process to minimize treatment time while maximizing comfort and quality.

What Are Full Dental Implants in One Day?

Losing multiple teeth or experiencing severe dental problems can be life-changing. It can affect speech, chewing ability, confidence, and overall quality of life. Fortunately, modern implantology offers a fast and effective solution: Fixed Teeth in One Day.
This innovative technique allows patients to receive a full-arch dental restoration in just one appointment. Unlike traditional implants, which require months of healing before placing the final teeth, this method provides immediate function and aesthetics - allowing patients to leave the clinic with a fixed, natural-looking smile on the same day.

The All-on-4® and All-on-6® Concept: A Breakthrough in Full Mouth Restoration

‍The All-on-4® and All-on-6® techniques are advanced methods for full-arch restorations, designed to provide maximum stability with minimal implants. Instead of placing one implant per missing tooth, these systems utilize strategic placement to maximize available bone and avoid additional procedures like bone grafting.

All-on-4®: Uses at least four implants per arch, with two positioned at an angle in the back of the jaw to provide extra stability.
All-on-6®: Uses six implants per arch, offering enhanced support for patients with stronger bone structure.

Who Can Benefit from Fixed Teeth in One Day?

This procedure is suitable for:

✔ Patients with missing teeth or failing teeth who want a permanent, fixed solution.

✔ Denture wearers regaining full functionality, comfort, stability, and a natural look.

✔ Patients with bone loss, as angled implants often eliminate the need for bone grafting.

✔ People looking for a fast, minimally invasive treatment that restores function and aesthetics in a single visit.

For patients with severe bone loss, Zygoma implants provide a specialized solution. These longer implants are anchored into the cheekbone (zygoma bone) instead of the jawbone, eliminating the need for bone grafting while ensuring long-term stability.

What Treatments Are Included in Full Mouth Rehabilitation?

A full mouth rehabilitation is a highly individualized treatment plan that depends on the patient's oral health condition, specific concerns, and aesthetic preferences. Whether the goal is to restore damaged teeth, replace missing teeth, or correct bite issues, full mouth rehabilitation combines various dental disciplines to achieve a functional and aesthetically pleasing result.

At Dr. Kraus’ Dental and Implant Clinic in Mainz, we offer comprehensive treatment concepts, ensuring that each patient receives a personalized solution tailored to their specific needs.

1. Treatment of Cavities & Periodontitis (Gum Disease)
2. Tooth Replacement: Dental Implants for full mouth, Bridges & All-on-4®
3. Fillings & Dental Crowns for Damaged Teeth
4. Correction of Misaligned Teeth & Bite Problems (CMD Treatment)
5. Aesthetic & Cosmetic Dentistry: Enhancing Your Smile

1. Treatment of Cavities & Periodontitis (Gum Disease)

Before performing any complex restorations, it is essential to address existing dental conditions such as:

‍Cavities (Tooth Decay):

Decayed tooth material is carefully removed and replaced with a composite filling or a ceramic inlay.
In cases of advanced decay, a root canal treatment may be required to save the tooth.

Periodontitis (Gum Disease):

Treatment depends on the stage of the disease.
Early-stage periodontitis can often be managed with deep cleaning and antibiotics.
For more severe cases, we use modern techniques like laser therapy to eliminate harmful bacteria and support gum healing.

2. Tooth Replacement: Dental Implants for full mouth, Bridges & All-on-4®

Replacing missing teeth is essential not only for aesthetic reasons but also to maintain jawbone integrity and proper chewing function. Depending on the number of missing teeth and the patient's preferences, we offer:

✔ Removable Dentures - For patients who prefer a non-surgical solution, we offer high-quality removable dentures. However, for those seeking a permanent, more stable solution, we recommend implant-supported restorations.

Removable dentures are often gum-supported or attached using clasps or telescopic attachments on the remaining natural teeth or secured with two implants. To enhance stability, they almost always include a palatal plate (for upper jaw dentures). This type of prosthetic restoration includes:

Full dentures
Partial dentures
Bar prothesis
Telescope prothesis
Click-in dentures

✔ Fixed Dental Implants – The most durable and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth.
✔ Dental Bridges – A non-removable option for patients with minor gaps in teeth.
✔ All-on-4® Implants – The ideal solution for patients with total tooth loss oder badly destroyed, non-preservable teeth, allowing for a full arch restoration in one day.

3. Fillings & Dental Crowns for Damaged Teeth

Whenever possible, we aim to preserve natural teeth. If a tooth is still structurally sound, we can restore it with a filling or crown instead of extracting it.

✔ Fillings – Used for small cavities or minor damage.
✔ Dental Crowns – Recommended for larger cavities, severely weakened or fractured teeth.
✔ Material Choices: High-tech composites and ceramics ensure that restorations match your natural tooth color, especially in visible areas.

4. Correction of Misaligned Teeth & Bite Problems (CMD Treatment)

✔ Orthodontic Treatment:

Crooked or misaligned teeth are not just a cosmetic issue; they can increase the risk of gum disease due to difficulty in cleaning.
If necessary, orthodontic invisable aligners can be integrated into the full mouth rehabilitation plan.

✔ CMD Treatment:

Patients suffering from jaw pain, frequent headaches, clicking sounds when opening the mouth, or difficulty chewing may require therapy for Craniomandibular Dysfunction (CMD).
Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent further complications and improve overall jaw function and comfort.

5. Aesthetic & Cosmetic Dentistry: Enhancing Your Smile

For many patients, full mouth rehabilitation is not just about restoring function - it is also about achieving a beautiful, confident smile. We offer:

✔ Veneers: Thin ceramic shells that improve the shape, size, and color of teeth.
✔ Professional Teeth Whitening: Brightens natural teeth for a whiter, youthful appearance.
✔ Gum Contouring: Helps create a more balanced gum line, especially in cases of a “gummy smile.”

Full Dental Implants Procedure: From Diagnosis to a New Smile

Undergoing full mouth rehabilitation or Fixed Teeth in One Day can be life-changing, restoring both function and confidence. To ensure long-lasting, natural results, we use state-of-the-art digital planning and precision techniques to make the process as efficient and comfortable as possible.

At Dr. Kraus’ Dental and Implant Clinic in Mainz, we follow a streamlined, patient-focused approach that minimizes treatment time while maximizing comfort and success.
‍
Step 1: Comprehensive Diagnosis & Personalized Treatment Planning

‍A thorough diagnosis and digital planning process allows us to identify potential challenges, ensure optimal implant placement, and customize the treatment plan to the patient’s specific needs. During this initial consultation:

✔ A 3D Cone Beam CT scan (CBCT) or digital X-rays are taken to evaluate bone structure, teeth, and gums.
✔ We identify any existing oral health issues, such as tooth decay, gum disease, or bone loss.
✔ Based on these findings, we develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals.

For patients undergoing Fixed Teeth in One Day, the implant placement and provisional teeth are pre-planned digitally, ensuring a precise and predictable outcome.

Step 2: Tooth Preparation, Anesthesia & Implant Placement

‍For many patients, undergoing a full mouth rehabilitation or Fixed Teeth in One Day involves multiple treatments in a single session. To ensure maximum comfort, we offer different anesthesia options, such as local anesthesia for pain-free treatment, sedation dentistry (twilight sleep) for patients with mild dental anxiety or general anesthesia for more complex cases or anxious patients (pre-consultation with one of our anesthesiologists required).

Once the patient is comfortable, the actual dental treatment begins. Depending on the individual case, different procedures may be necessary:

✔ Professional dental cleaning to reduce bacteria before treatment.
✔ Removal of severely damaged or non-restorable teeth, if necessary.
✔ Root canal treatments and fillings to restore function when teeth can still be preserved.
✔ Periodontal therapy to treat gum disease, if present.
✔ Bone Evaluation & Implant Placement: Implants require a strong jawbone foundation for long-term stability. Thanks to modern implant techniques like All-on-4®, most patients can receive implants without bone grafting. However, in cases of severe bone loss, bone grafting may be necessary to ensure implant success.

At the end of the procedure, patients receive a temporary prosthesis so that they never leave the clinic without teeth. This ensures that they can speak, eat, and smile confidently while waiting for the final restoration.

For Fixed Teeth in One Day, implant placement is performed in a single session:

✔ 4 to 6 implants are placed per arch, using a strategic, minimally invasive technique.
✔ In most cases, no bone grafting is needed, as the implants are positioned at an angle for optimal support.
✔ The implants are immediately restored with a temporary but fixed bridge, allowing patients to leave the clinic with fully functional teeth on the same day.

Step 3: Healing Phase & Final Prosthetic Teeth
‍
‍After implant placement, the healing process (osseointegration) begins. This typically takes 3 to 6 months, during which the implants fuse with the jawbone, ensuring maximum stability. Once the implants have fully healed:

✔ The final custom-made zirconia or ceramic bridge is crafted in our in-house dental lab for a perfect fit and long-term durability.
✔ Using digital impressions, we ensure a comfortable, natural-looking result.
✔ The final restoration is secured, providing a permanent, stable, and aesthetically pleasing solution.

Cost of Full Mouth Restoration in Germany

The cost of full mouth rehabilitation or Fixed Teeth in One Day varies depending on the treatment plan, the number of implants needed, and any additional procedures, such as extractions or bone grafting. At Dr. Kraus’ Implant Clinic in Mainz, we provide transparent pricing and customized treatment plans to ensure high-quality, long-lasting results.

How Much Do Full Mouth Dental Implants Cost?

The cost for full-arch dental implants starts at:

€10,500 per jaw

(excluding the final prosthesis and anesthesia)

€12,000 per jaw

for upper arch restoration

Additional costs may apply if extra procedures, such as extractions, longer Zygoma implants, or more than four implants per arch, are needed. Patients who require full sedation or general anesthesia should also factor in additional costs. While implant-supported teeth are more expensive than traditional dentures, they provide superior comfort, stability, and long-term durability.

Does Insurance Cover Full Mouth Dental Implants?
‍
Public health insurance (statutory insurance in Germany) covers only a small portion of the cost. Private health insurance may cover part or all of the treatment, depending on the policy. Dental supplementary insurance can significantly reduce out-of-pocket expenses. Our team assists patients in understanding their insurance coverage and submitting cost estimates for approval.

Risks of Full Mouth Rehabilitation & Fixed Teeth in One Day

Full mouth rehabilitation and Fixed Teeth in One Day are safe and highly successful treatments, but like any surgical procedure, they carry some risks.

In rare cases, an implant may fail to integrate with the jawbone, especially in patients who smoke or have uncontrolled diabetes. Minor swelling, bruising, or temporary discomfort is normal after surgery, but serious complications such as infections or nerve irritation are extremely rare. Proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups help prevent boneloss and ensure long-term implant success.

At Dr. Kraus’ Dental and Implant Clinic, we use 3D digital planning and advanced techniques to minimize risksand provide safe, predictable results.

FAQs

Is It Cheaper to Get Dental Implants Abroad?

Some patients consider traveling abroad for cheaper dental implants. In some cases, German public health insurance provides a fixed subsidy for treatments within the EU. However, the warranty and responsibility for the procedure remain with the dentist abroad. This means that if corrections or follow-up treatments are needed, patients must either travel back to the foreign clinic or have the necessary adjustments done in Germany, often at an additional cost.

Can I eat normally after getting fixed teeth in one day?

Yes! While the temporary teeth require some care with hard foods, they allow you to eat and function normally. Once the final bridge is placed, you can enjoy all your favorite foods again.

Does getting dental implants hurt?

No, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, ensuring a pain-free experience. Most patients report only mild discomfort afterward, similar to a tooth extraction. At Dr. Kraus’ Implant Clinic in Mainz, we are also specialized in treating anxious patients. We understand that dental fear can be a major obstacle, and we strive to create a comfortable, stress-free environment. ✔ Friendly, empathetic team – From the reception staff to our implantologists, we ensure a caring and supportive approach. ✔ Extra time for consultations – We take the time to explain every step and proceed at your own pace. ✔ Minimally invasive treatments – Whenever possible, we use gentle, modern techniques to reduce discomfort and recovery time. We are happy to discuss your concerns in a comprehensive consultation and guide you through the entire process with transparency and care.

Can I get full mouth implants if I have low bone density?

Sufficient jawbone is generally required to support dental implants. If the bone is too weak or has receded, it can often be rebuilt using bone grafting (augmentation) with artificial or natural bone materials. However, this process takes time and does not always guarantee success, especially in cases of severe bone loss. As a more patient-friendly alternative, we offer Zygoma implants, which are much longer than standard implants and are anchored in the cheekbone (zygoma) instead of the jawbone. This technique eliminates the need for bone grafting and allows for immediate restoration with fixed teeth, providing a faster and more reliable solution for patients with advanced bone loss.

How Long Does a Full Mouth Rehabilitation Take?

✔ Fixed Teeth in One Day: Implants & temporary teeth placed in a single appointment, final restoration in 3-6 months. ✔ Full Mouth Rehabilitation (complex cases): Depending on the necessary treatments, the process may take 2 to 9 months. ✔ Minimized treatment time: By combining multiple treatments in one session, we reduce the number of visits required. At Dr. Kraus’ Implant Clinic, our efficient workflow, in-house dental lab, and expert team ensure that your smile transformation happens as quickly and comfortably as possible.

Do I need to remove my teeth before full mouth restoration?

The goal of full mouth rehabilitation is not to extract all teeth and replace them. We carefully evaluate each tooth before deciding if removal is necessary. In modern dentistry, preserving natural teeth is always the priority whenever possible. However, in some cases, extractions are unavoidable, particularly when: ✔ Teeth are severely decayed, broken, or structurally unsalvageable. ✔ Teeth are already loose due to advanced gum disease. If extractions are necessary, we ensure that you are never left without teeth. We offer a wide range of high-quality replacement options, including fixed dental implants, bridges, and All-on-4 restorations.

How many implants are needed for a full mouth restoration?

• Traditional full-arch restoration requires 6 to 8 implants per arch. • All-on-4® or All-on-6® implants use 4 to 6 implants per arch to support a full set of teeth. • Zygoma implants may be necessary for patients with severe bone loss, eliminating the need for bone grafting.

How long do full mouth dental implants last?

With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, implant-supported teeth can last a lifetime. The success rate of our full mouth implants is around 99%, making it one of the most reliable treatments in modern dentistry.

What are the benefits of fixed third teeth compared to dentures?

Fixed implant-supported teeth offer several advantages over traditional dentures: ✔ Superior stability – No slipping, no adhesives, and no discomfort. ✔ Natural look and feel – Functions like real teeth, improving speech and chewing. ✔ Long-lasting solution – Can last a lifetime with proper care. ✔ Prevents bone loss – Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone resorption. ✔ Increased confidence – Patients can eat, laugh, and socialize without worry.
