Graham’s Upper Smile Transformation — Restoring Confidence with All-on-4
Background
Graham came to us with failing dentistry on his upper teeth, while his lower teeth were still natural. Over time, his upper teeth had deteriorated, leaving him with a smile that no longer represented his true self. He wanted a solution that would restore his smile’s function and appearance without compromising the natural beauty of his lower teeth.
Challenge
Graham’s upper teeth were in poor condition, with old crowns and failing restorations. Despite the state of his upper teeth, his lower teeth were still functional, but the contrast between his top and bottom teeth was not ideal. He needed a treatment plan that would restore the look and function of his upper teeth while maintaining the natural appearance of his lower teeth.
Solution – All-on-4 for the Upper Arch
We recommended All-on-4 for the upper arch, a comprehensive treatment designed to replace the failing upper teeth with a stable, durable solution. This method allowed us to preserve his natural lower teeth while providing him with a new, seamless upper smile. The All-on-4 restoration was carefully designed to give Graham a smile that looked natural and fit his facial structure.
Surgical Experience
Graham’s surgery focused on his upper arch. We extracted his failing teeth and placed implants to support an All-on-4 solution, while preserving his lower natural teeth. He was sedated throughout the procedure and woke up with a secure, beautiful temporary that restored his smile in a single visit.
Outcome
With his upper arch restored using All-on-4, Graham now has a complete, natural-looking smile. His new upper teeth are stable, functional, and aesthetically balanced with his natural lower teeth. The contrast between the upper and lower arches was eliminated, giving him a more cohesive and youthful appearance. Graham is thrilled with his new smile and is more confident than ever.
Key Takeaways
- All-on-4 can be used to restore just one arch. Even if the lower teeth are still healthy, this system can offer a comprehensive solution for the upper arch, providing stability and aesthetic balance.
- Custom treatment plans can accommodate patients with natural teeth in one arch and failing restorations in the other. This approach allows for personalized care and optimal outcomes.
- Function and aesthetics go hand in hand. Graham’s treatment not only restored his smile but also helped him achieve better function and appearance with minimal disruption to his lower teeth.
