If you’re missing many teeth, struggling with loose dentures, dealing with failing or broken teeth, or have been told your dental situation is “too complex,” you may be wondering: “Am I a candidate for full-mouth dental implants?”
At Gordon Dental Implants and Cosmetics, Dr. Philip J. Gordon, DDS, helps patients throughout Kansas City, Leawood, Overland Park, Olathe, and surrounding areas determine whether full-mouth dental implants are the right long-term solution. Using specialist-level diagnosis, 3D imaging, and proven implant systems, Dr. Gordon provides patients with precise, lasting results.

Even patients with bone loss, gum disease history, or dental anxiety may still qualify with proper planning.
When teeth are no longer predictable to save, full-mouth dental implants can replace the entire system with a strong, stable foundation.

Full-mouth fixed implants are designed to feel closest to natural teeth and eliminate the daily frustrations of removable dentures.
