Dental Implant
Patient Profile:
A 58-year-old female patient presented with multiple missing, broken, and decayed teeth, severe gum recession, and difficulty chewing. She had been wearing removable dentures for years but was unhappy with their fit, appearance, and discomfort.
Clinical Challenge:
Advanced tooth loss and bone shrinkage
Decayed and damaged remaining teeth
Poor gum health and low confidence in social settings
Treatment Plan:
Extraction of remaining non-restorable teeth
Bone grafting in select areas to rebuild jaw support
Placement of full upper and lower dental implants using guided surgery
Immediate loading of fixed implant-supported prosthetics (within 24 hours)
Outcome:
The transformation was completed in just one visit, with final prosthetics delivered the next day. The patient regained a beautiful, natural-looking smile with strong, fixed teeth — eliminating the need for dentures. Her confidence, speech, and ability to eat comfortably were fully restored.
Treatment Duration:
Approximately 48 hours (consultation to final smile)

All-on-4 upper arch implant solution
Patient Condition:
This patient, aged 62, arrived at our clinic with significant upper jaw tooth loss. The remaining upper teeth were severely mobile, decayed, and unsalvageable, with visible gum recession and collapsed bite. Years of wearing loose-fitting dentures had resulted in bone resorption, making everyday activities like eating, speaking, and smiling a challenge.
Clinical Issues Identified:
Multiple missing teeth in the upper arch
Advanced periodontal disease affecting remaining teeth
Thin bone structure in the upper jaw
Esthetic concerns: sunken upper lip and loss of smile confidence
Patient Concerns:
“I can’t eat properly. I hate smiling in photos. My denture doesn’t stay in place — I want a fixed, permanent solution.”
Treatment Plan Proposed:
An All-on-4 upper arch implant solution, using 4 strategically placed implants to support a full, fixed prosthetic. This would restore both function and esthetics in a single visit.
Implant Supported Overdentures
Patient Profile:
A 66-year-old male patient presented with a fully edentulous upper arch, having lost all upper teeth due to advanced periodontal disease and decay. He had been managing with a removable denture for several years, but it had become unstable and uncomfortable, affecting both his speech and ability to chew.
Primary Concerns:
Difficulty eating and chewing
Fear of dentures slipping in public
Lack of confidence when smiling or speaking
Desire for a stable, fixed alternative
Clinical Findings:
Complete loss of upper teeth
Moderate bone resorption in the upper jaw
Healthy lower arch with minor staining
Adequate bone volume for implant placement following digital scan and 3D evaluation
Treatment Plan:
An implant-supported overdenture was planned for the upper arch using four strategically placed implants. A custom-made prosthesis was fabricated to fit securely over the implants, restoring both function and aesthetics.
Procedure Details:
Day 1: Implant placement under local anesthesia
Day 2: Post-op assessment and impression for denture fabrication
Within 10–14 days: Delivery and fitting of the final prosthesis
Follow-ups scheduled at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months
Outcome:
The patient received a stable, natural-looking upper denture anchored to implants, dramatically improving his ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently. The result was a complete transformation in both function and appearance — all while maintaining comfort and ease of maintenance.
Patient Feedback:
“This is the first time in years I’ve been able to eat a full meal without worry. I feel like myself again — and I smile without thinking twice.”
