Because You Deserve
a Life-Changing Smile
The Streamlined Way
to Restore Your Smile
Whether you have missing teeth due to injury, decay, or gum disease, this can negatively impact your physical health and emotional well-being. Without stimulation provided by natural tooth roots, your underlying jawbone can quickly deteriorate and cause undesirable facial changes. In addition to problems with speech and eating, tooth loss can cause shifting of adjacent teeth, painful misalignment, an increased risk of decay and gum disease, and a hit to your self-esteem. Together, our oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Lance Keyes and restorative dentist Dr. Michael Lemme have placed nearly 4,000 dental implants! Our team is certified in All-on-4® dental implants and TeethXpress full mouth dental implants, both of which offer a streamlined approach and placement of a temporary full mouth prosthesis on the same day as surgery. When you choose Cascade Dental Implants for full mouth dental implants in Sedro Woolley, WA, you’ll rediscover the pleasure of eating your favorite foods and experience a remarkable boost in your quality of life!
The Limitations of Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures that need to be removed at night and held in place with messy adhesive and suction are what most people think of when they hear the word denture. Because they sit on top of your gums, traditional dentures tend to slip, click and even fall out from time to time. As your jawbone shrinks from bone deterioration, dentures can irritate your gums and need to be relined to ensure a snug, comfortable fit. With implant-supported dentures and full mouth dental implants, as few as four to six dental implants are surgically placed into your jawbone in predetermined sites with the densest bone volume. After the titanium implants fuse with your underlying bone, they provide a strong foundation for new teeth, help prevent bone loss and stimulate new growth. Although fixed and removable bridges and dentures are possible options for replacing missing teeth, no other solution provides the long-lasting, life-changing benefits of full mouth dental implants in Sedro Woolley, WA.

with Innovative Implant Solutions
Both All-on-4® and TeethXpress® protocols streamline the full mouth dental implant process. All-on-4® to six Full arch dental implants offer unsurpassed flexibility because this protocol can be modified in patients who require more implants per arch. Tilting the posterior (back) dental implants at a 45-degree angle usually prevents the need for bone grafting, although a small number of patients may require this before placement. The anterior (front) implants can be placed vertically since bone loss is less common in front teeth. TeethXpress® relies on BioHorizons® Tapered implants with Laser-Lok technology to deliver superior stability and a predictable immediate load solution. Since All-on-4 to six and TeethXpress full arch dental implants are minimally invasive, many patients experience less postsurgical discomfort, bleeding, swelling, and bruising.” to “Our full arch dental implants are minimally invasive, many patients experience less post-surgical discomfort, bleeding, swelling, and bruising.
What to Expect with Full Mouth Dental Implants
Step One: Consultation and Planning
At your full arch dental implants consultation, Dr. Keyes or Dr. Lemme will discuss your functional and aesthetic smile goals to determine whether you’re a good candidate for full mouth dental implants in Woolley, WA. During the oral exam, he’ll evaluate your teeth and gum health. Dental X-rays and a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan are used to analyze your underlying structures, including the bone, sinuses, and nerves. The 3D image created from your scan is used with X-Guide®, a dynamic 3D navigation system that extends the capabilities of CBCT technology for greater precision and accuracy of the position, angle, and depth of each dental implant.
Step Two: A New Smile in One Day
During the fully guided procedure, Dr. Keyes strategically places four or six dental implants per arch in your jawbone where bone mass is the most substantial. In addition to a local anesthetic to numb your gums, you can choose IV sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your needs. After placing the implant posts, we attach temporary, natural-looking fixed teeth to the abutments crafted on-site from acrylic resin. Once in place, small modifications can be made to ensure a comfortable fit and proper bite. A soft food diet is recommended while your implants integrate with the bone in a process called osseointegration. It typically takes three to six months for the dental implants to fuse and for the implant sites to fully heal. It can take a short time to adapt to eating and speaking with your new full mouth prosthesis.
Step Three: Final Restoration
When you’re fitted with your final custom-made prosthesis crafted from zirconia or Crystal® Ultra, Dr. Lemme checks it to make sure it’s comfortable and your bite is properly aligned. Full mouth dental implants restore 99% of biting and chewing power so you can enjoy all the foods you love without limitations. You’ll walk out of our practice with a natural-looking, fully functional beautiful new smile and a huge boost to your self-confidence. With proper oral care and professional check-ups, you’ll enjoy a radiant smile that stands the test of time!
