This lady had five of her back teeth extracted at a young age, and she came to us to have dental implants to replace those missing teeth. Some of the teeth opposing to the missing ones had 'supra-erupted' causing inadequate clearance for implant crowns.
We placed the implants and used Invisalign to improve the clearance and straighten her remaining teeth. Six months later, after the teeth were straightened, crowns were attached to the implants. We did some teeth whitening and minimal composite bondings to finish her smile makeover.
Invisalign can be a great pre-restorative tool to move the dentition to the ideal positions before having them restored.
Smile makeover with dental implants and crowns
This lady presented with some loose upper teeth and inability to chew food.
Severe gum disease had made most of her remaining upper teeth unrestorable and they were replaced with a zirconia implant bridge. Her missing on lower right side and the remaining worn-out teeth were restored with dental implants and cosmetic zirconia crowns. She was very pleased with the results achieved.
Extensive use of digital imaging and 3D scans have helped us to plan this case and to give a satisfactory provisional bridge immediately after extraction and placement of implants.
