At Crofton Dental Care, we often meet patients who are concerned about their teeth and want to explore treatment options for comfort, function, and aesthetics. This case study shares the journey of one patient, Demelza, who came to us with concerns about their upper teeth.
Step 1: Consultation
When the patient came to see us, they were experiencing looseness in their upper teeth, making eating and biting difficult. After a full assessment and a clear discussion of their options, we agreed on a personalised treatment plan for the upper jaw.
This step involved carefully removing the remaining upper teeth and placing six implants as part of an All-on-6 approach. Throughout the process, our team prioritised comfort, safety, and informed consent, explaining each stage and ensuring the patient understood what to expect.
Step 2: Testing the Upper Prototype Bridge
Before creating the final bridge, we fitted a prototype bridge to test the shape, fit, and profile. This step helps ensure the new teeth look natural, feel comfortable, and function well once the final All-on-6 bridge is in place.
We check in carefully at this stage, making adjustments as needed, so the patient feels confident and supported throughout the process.
Step 3: Preparing the Final All-on-6 Fixed Bridge
Next, we prepared the final fixed bridge. Everything is aligned and double-checked to ensure a smooth placement. This step is important to help achieve optimal function, comfort, and aesthetics once the bridge is fitted.
Our team works closely with patients at every stage, reviewing comfort, fit, and how the restoration feels during daily activities.
Step 4: Confident with New Upper Teeth
Once the final All-on-6 fixed bridge was placed, we captured the patient’s reaction — a moment of confidence and satisfaction. The treatment restored their ability to eat, bite, and smile comfortably, with careful attention to fit and function.
The Outcome
With the All-on-6 dental implants in place, the patient regained stability, function, and confidence in their upper teeth. They are now able to enjoy daily activities such as eating and smiling comfortably. Our team continues with regular follow-ups to support long-term care and ensure ongoing comfort and oral health.
