Case Study 5 - crowns/bridgework to restore lower teeth

Case Study - Implant retained upper denture and crowns/bridgework to restore lower teeth.

Mr R from Strathaven complained that he had worn an ill fitting upper denture for years that had to be secured several times a day with denture fixative (polygrip etc.) He also hated the appearance of his lower teeth which were badly worn and stained giving them a very poor appearance.

We placed 4 implants in the upper jaw to support and secure a new denture. On the lower jaw we saved all his teeth and placed crowns/bridgework to restore the aesthetics and function.

"I couldn’t believe the difference having my teeth fixed could make to me. I was always self conscious and embarrassed when meeting people but now I can smile with confidence again.......... Getting the implants to secure my denture has allowed me to eat properly and enjoy my food again, what a difference its made........’"
