This lady presented to us with multiple loose teeth and was unable to chew her food properly.
Unfortunately, severe periodontal disease meant the remaining teeth had poor prognosis. A decision was made to have all the remaining teeth extracted. She had a choice between conventional full dentures, overdentures stabilised with dental implants, or implant-supported bridges. She chose implant overdentures.
Her remaining teeth were extracted, four implants were placed in each jaw and an immediate full denture was delivered. This was replaced with overdentures on locator attachments connected to the implants four months later.
