This lady had most of her upper teeth missing.
She tried a partial denture, but severe gagging prevented her from using it.
We used the denture dimensions to ascertain the vertical dimension and designed a provisional milled bridge which was fitted straight after the few remaining upper teeth were removed and implants were placed.
Five months later, this provisional bridge was replaced by a long-term zirconia 'all-on-X' implant bridge.
Full arch implant bridges are a great option for someone unable to use their dentures due to gagging.
Pre-operative digital planning allows us to deliver a fixed temporary implant bridge soon after the teeth are extracted.
