Case Study
Dental Rehabilitation with Implant-Supported Fixed Dental Bridges
– Case Description
Our patient, a 60-year-old male, came to us with a significant dental concern. He had completely missing lower teeth and a few missing upper posterior teeth. Seeking a fixed permanent replacement option for dental rehabilitation, the patient was looking for a solution that would restore both function and aesthetics to his smile.
Treatment Plan
After a thorough examination and consultation, our dental team recommended the placement of dental implants to support fixed dental bridges. The plan involved placing six implants in the lower jaw and two implants in the upper jaw on the right side. It’s worth noting that the patient had already received a left upper implant prosthesis five years ago, which had proven successful.
Temporary Prosthesis
Following the initial implant placement, a temporary prosthesis was provided to the patient during the healing period. This temporary solution allowed the patient to have functional teeth while the implants integrated with the jawbone. The temporary prosthesis ensured that the patient could continue with their daily activities without any significant disruptions.
Final Restoration
After the six-month healing period, during which the implants fully integrated with the jawbone, the patient returned for the final restoration. In the lower jaw, an all-on-six implant-supported fixed dental bridge was placed. This comprehensive solution provided the patient with a full set of lower teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics.
On the upper right jaw, a three-unit implant-supported bridge was placed. This bridge replaced the missing posterior teeth, seamlessly blending with the patient’s natural teeth. The final restorations were meticulously crafted to match the patient’s existing teeth in shape, size, and color, ensuring a natural and harmonious smile.
Results and Patient Satisfaction
Following the completion of the treatment, the patient experienced a remarkable transformation. Not only was he able to eat comfortably, but his smile was also restored to its former glory. The implant-supported fixed dental bridges provided a stable and permanent solution, allowing the patient to confidently enjoy his favorite foods and engage in social activities without any concerns about his teeth.
The patient expressed his satisfaction and gratitude for the successful dental rehabilitation. He was thrilled to have a fixed permanent replacement option that not only improved his oral health but also enhanced his overall quality of life. The natural appearance of the restorations gave him the confidence to smile freely, knowing that his teeth looked and functioned just like before.
Conclusion
Dental rehabilitation with implant-supported fixed dental bridges offers a reliable and long-lasting solution for patients with missing teeth. This treatment option not only restores function and aesthetics but also improves overall oral health and self-confidence. Our patient’s case exemplifies the positive impact of this advanced dental procedure, providing a successful outcome and a happy patient.
