Multiple Implant Restorations

This young gentleman decides to turn over a new leaf and start taking care of his teeth after caries wiped out half of his teeth.

Many of his decayed teeth were down to their roots. Bonding saved a few of his teeth, but many had to be extracted.

We could save his right central incisor and canine with some composite filling material.

We're looking at ceramic restorations as a more durable solution.

Here we are, entering 2 months after the unsalvageable stumps were removed.

The patient was heavily sedated and breathing oxygen on his own.

 

 A total of 4 implants were placed.

We decided to do a 2-stage operation.

Since the extractions were recently, the patient had good bone width.

However, he didn't have good bone height.

  

Forced to place relatively short implants, we decided not to load them so early.

 

The patient wore a temporary partial denture after this.
