Case 2
This gentleman was referred to us for permanent replacement of his denture with implant-retained bridges. The challenge was he had a chronic periodontal problem, and most of his teeth were mobile.
He was then referred to a periodontist, who had suggested multiple extractions of upper teeth due to the severity of his gum problems. However a few teeth has been retained, because they are still firm and the patient wish to keep them.
Multiple units of dental implants were placed and 3 separate screw-retained bridges were constructed.

Case 1
This young lady was referred to us with a history of loss of 4 front teeth 15 years earlier due to motor vehicle accident. She has been wearing dentures ever since, and now looking for a more permanent replacement.
The problem faced was massive bone loss due to resorbtion. Decision was made to place 2 dental implants, with simultaneous bone grafting using a mixture of patient's own bone (taken from her chin) and synthetic bone graft.
After healing period of 6 months, a 4-unit bridge was constructed to replace her denture.
