Jenny’s Beautiful Smile Restoration — A Perfectly Balanced Smile
Background
Jenny had a high smile line and had undergone extensive dental work, with crowns on all her teeth. Over time, the crowns began to fail, with cavities forming underneath and gum recession that made her smile appear uneven. Jenny wanted a solution that would give her a natural, even smile without the hassle of dealing with the ongoing issues from her previous dental work.
Challenge
The main challenge in Jenny’s case was the damage caused by cavities under her existing crowns and the uneven gum line that came as a result. These issues led to a smile that no longer looked as polished or harmonious as it once had. In addition, Jenny needed a solution that would not only restore her teeth but also address the gum line asymmetry.
Solution – All-on-4 with Prosthetic Gums
Given the complexity of Jenny’s case, we decided that All-on-4 was the best solution. The All-on-4 system would allow us to replace her failing teeth with secure, stable prosthetics. One of the key advantages of All-on-4 is the ability to control the gum line using a prosthetic gum material, which allowed us to even out her gum line and make sure everything looked symmetrical and balanced. This approach provided both aesthetic harmony and long-term durability.
Surgical Experience
Given Jenny’s high smile line and the aesthetic importance of symmetry, we used guided surgery to place upper implants and precisely control gum height through prosthetic design. Her existing crowns were removed and replaced with a full-arch All-on-4 solution, done under sedation for maximum comfort. She left the same day with a temporary that completely changed her smile line for the better.
Outcome
Jenny’s new All-on-4 bridge transformed her smile, giving her even gum lines, well-aligned teeth, and a youthful appearance. The prosthetic gum material was carefully sculpted to mimic the natural gum contours, creating a balanced smile that complements her facial features. The new teeth were designed to look natural and lifelike, while the stable, permanent solution alleviated the stress of dealing with recurring dental problems.
Key Takeaways
- All-on-4 can address complex dental issues, including damaged crowns, cavities, and uneven gum lines, to create a smile that is both functional and beautiful.
- Prosthetic gums are a powerful tool for restoring gum symmetry and creating a natural, even smile — a key feature in All-on-4 treatment.
