Charlie’s Full-Smile Makeover — From Partial Teeth to a Complete, Custom Look
Background
Charlie came to us with just six remaining front teeth on both her upper and lower jaws. She had no back teeth at all, which made it difficult to chew and gave her smile an incomplete appearance. With a relatively high smile line, she was especially conscious of how her teeth looked — and she knew exactly what she wanted in a final result.
Challenge
Charlie’s goal was to fill out her smile completely — no more gaps, no more partials. She didn’t want removable teeth or a short-term fix. She wanted a custom-designed solution that would look beautiful and function like natural teeth, all while being tailored to her vision of the perfect smile.
Solution – Nanoceramic Prototype and Full Mouth Planning:
To bring Charlie’s vision to life, we started with a nanoceramic temporary bridge — a durable, aesthetically impressive material that gives patients the ability to “test-drive” their new smile.
This bridge gave Charlie the full-arch look she wanted, with customized shapes and proportions to fit her face and preferences. Her high smile line was carefully considered to ensure the result was seamless and natural, with no obvious signs of prosthetic gum or mismatch.
Surgical Experience
Charlie’s procedure was completed under sedation, where we removed the remaining front teeth and placed implants in both the upper and lower jaws. She left the same day with her nanoceramic bridge in place, giving her immediate function and a stunning smile. Healing has been progressing smoothly as we continue to plan her final zirconia bridge in the months ahead.
Outcome
Even in the temporary phase, Charlie now has the full, radiant smile she always wanted. The bridge fills out her facial features beautifully and looks completely natural when she talks or laughs. Once her final bridge is complete, her transformation will be fully realized — but even now, the change has been life-changing.
Key Takeaways
- No back teeth? You don’t need to settle for partials. Full-arch implants can restore chewing ability, aesthetics, and confidence.
- Patient vision matters. Charlie had a clear picture of what she wanted, and we brought that to life with smile design, custom shaping, and materials that matched her goals.
- Temporaries aren’t just placeholders — they’re part of the journey. Her nanoceramic bridge gave her instant satisfaction while we work toward the final restoration.
