At Crofton Dental Care, we see patients with concerns about loose teeth, existing restorations, and multiple missing teeth that may affect everyday activities such as eating and chewing.
In this case, the patient attended with concerns about loose upper teeth, an existing upper bridge that required assessment, multiple missing teeth, and difficulty wearing removable dentures comfortably.
Following a full clinical assessment, we discussed the available treatment options and developed a phased treatment approach. This included removal of teeth that were not suitable for restoration, placement of upper dental implants, a lower left implant-supported solution, and a prototype bridge stage to assess fit and function before the final restorations were completed.
Step 1: Consultation
The patient attended Crofton Dental Care with concerns about their upper teeth, including looseness, their existing upper bridge, and difficulty chewing.
During the consultation, we reviewed their oral health, discussed their concerns, and explored suitable treatment options. Following assessment, a personalised treatment plan was developed to address the upper arch and lower left missing teeth.
Step 2: Assessing Fit After Tooth Removal
As part of the treatment process, teeth that were not suitable for restoration were removed according to the planned approach.
Following this stage, the fit and function of the planned restoration were assessed to help guide the next stages of treatment.
Step 3: Creating the Upper Implant Bridge
The upper implant-supported bridge was designed and created as part of the full-arch restoration process.
The restoration was developed based on the patient’s individual treatment plan and in collaboration with the dental laboratory team.
Step 4: Upper Full Arch Implant Bridge and Lower Left Implant Bridge
The final treatment plan included a fixed upper implant bridge supported by six implants, along with a lower left implant-supported bridge supported by three implants.
These restorations were designed to replace missing teeth and form part of the patient’s planned tooth replacement treatment.
Step 5: Preparing for the Final Fitting
Before the final restorations were completed, the fit, function, and overall design were reviewed as part of the treatment process.
This stage allowed the dental team to assess the planned restorations before completing the final fitting.
Step 6: Final Implant Restorations
The completed treatment included a fixed upper implant-supported bridge and a lower left implant-supported bridge.
The restorations were fitted according to the agreed treatment plan as part of the fixed tooth replacement process.
The Outcome
This patient’s treatment involved a phased approach to address concerns relating to loose upper teeth, an existing upper bridge, and multiple missing teeth.
The completed treatment included a fixed upper implant bridge supported by six implants and a lower left implant bridge supported by three implants.
As with all dental treatments, outcomes, treatment times, and suitability for implant treatment vary depending on individual clinical factors, oral health, healing, and treatment needs.
This case study is provided for educational purposes. Individual treatment plans and outcomes vary according to each patient’s clinical circumstances.
If you would like to learn more about tooth replacement options, including implant-supported restorations, we can arrange a personalised consultation to assess your oral health, discuss the available options, and determine whether implant treatment may be suitable for your individual circumstances.
