This gentleman was unhappy with his smile - his remaining few upper teeth were not restorable and he wanted to explore a 'fixed' solution to improve his smile.
Digital smile designing was done to prepare a diagnostic mock up and template for his replacement teeth. His upper teeth were extracted and were replaced with implants and a temporary fixed implant bridge was placed soon after. Four months later, this was replaced with a full arch Zirconia implant bridge. He was delighted with the improvement in function and appearance.
Digital impressions make the process comfortable for patients by making sure there is no gagging and it improves the accuracy of the fit. Zirconia implant bridges are very thin, yet strong to withstand the biting force.
