At Crofton Dental Care, we sometimes see patients who are struggling with missing lower teeth, which can make everyday activities like chewing and biting difficult. In this case, Tony came to us looking for a solution that would restore function while fitting their personal preferences and budget.
Step 1: Consultation
During the initial consultation, we conducted a full clinical assessment and discussed all the available options. Together, we agreed on a personalised treatment plan that considered both their clinical needs and budget.
The first step involved placing a dental implant to support chewing function on one side of the lower arch. Throughout the process, our team prioritised comfort, safety, and informed consent, explaining each stage and making sure the patient understood what to expect.
Step 2: Comfortable & Efficient Digital Scan
Instead of using traditional impressions, we employed a digital scanner to record the patient’s teeth. This approach allows for accurate scans without impression materials and speeds up communication with our dental technician. It also supports a more efficient and budget-friendly treatment process, keeping comfort in mind at every step.
Step 3: Lower Implant-Supported Teeth – Restored Function
Finally, the lower implant-supported teeth were fitted. At this stage, our focus was on fit, comfort, and function, ensuring the patient could chew and bite comfortably. The patient was able to use their restored teeth for everyday activities while enjoying the benefits of a well-planned implant restoration.
The Outcome
After completing the treatment, the patient regained chewing function and stability in their lower jaw. They can now eat comfortably, with restored confidence in everyday activities. As with all implant care, our team continues with follow-ups to support long-term oral health and monitor comfort and function over time.
