Double All-On-4® Dental Implant Case Study – A.M.

Double All On 4 Dental Implants Case Study for A.M. - Portland Perio Implant Center - Portland, OR - Dr. Kamran Haghighat

A.M's journey to our dental clinic began with a hesitant but determined step towards transforming not only his smile but also his overall oral health. Years of dental challenges had taken their toll on him – missing teeth, an unsightly smile, and difficulty eating had become constants in his life. The reflection in the mirror no longer matched the vibrant spirit within him.

The journey ahead was both a quest for a more appealing smile and a pursuit of improved dental functionality. He had reached a point where the gaps in his teeth not only hindered his ability to chew but also impacted his confidence and sociability. He had become accustomed to avoiding hearty laughs and concealing his smile in social settings.

Having witnessed the life-changing impact of dental procedures at Portland Perio Implant Center, A.M.'s journey was inspired by his wife's own success story. She had undergone the "teeth-in-a-day" procedure with the all-on-4 dental implant solution years earlier, a testament to the clinic's commitment to providing comprehensive dental care.

The initial consultation immersed A.M. into a realm of precision and expertise. Radiographic and intraoral imaging painted a comprehensive picture of his dental landscape, laying the foundation for a bespoke treatment plan. We guided him through the intricacies of the proposed "teeth-in-a-day" procedure with the all on 4 implant solution. The prospect of regaining not just teeth but a radiant smile and improved functionality stirred a newfound optimism within A.M.

As the digital rendering of his case took shape on the clinic's virtual software, a meticulous plan emerged for a seamless operating day. A.M.'s case, unique and challenging, demanded precision and expertise. The decision was made to proceed with AO4 implant therapy for both jaws, a comprehensive approach to address the extensive loss of teeth and restore both aesthetics and function.

The day of surgery arrived, marking a transformative chapter in A.M.'s life. With care and precision, the remaining teeth were gently removed, making way for the carefully planned placement of dental implants in each arch. The virtual blueprint now transitioned into a tangible reality as the implants found their place, a crucial step towards A.M.'s renewed oral health.

3D Printed Temporary Same-Day Teeth

With surgical finesse, a digitally designed and 3D-printed temporary prosthesis was attached to the newly placed implants. This prosthetic marvel not only restored A.M.'s smile instantly but would remain in place for the subsequent four months, allowing the crucial process of implant integration to unfold.

In the ensuing months, A.M.'s journey continued, marked by healing, anticipation, and the gradual strengthening of the bond between implants and bone. The Portland Perio Implant Center team, with unwavering commitment, monitored his progress.

Final Prosthesis

Finally, after six months, the culmination of A.M.'s transformative voyage arrived. The day he had eagerly awaited saw the delivery of his final, permanent fixed prosthesis. Crafted with precision, the prosthesis seamlessly blended with A.M.'s natural features, unveiling a smile that radiated confidence and joy.

In the end, A.M.'s journey was not just about teeth; it was about reclaiming a life free from the constraints of dental challenges. The clinic became a backdrop for a profound transformation, where A.M.'s smile became a symbol of resilience, hope, and the transformative power of modern dentistry.

Who is better for dental implants, oral surgeon or periodontist?

The choice between an oral surgeon and a periodontist for dental implants involves several factors, including case complexity, patient health, and practitioner expertise for surgery and aesthetics (implants). To make an informed decision, consult with both specialists and consider their recommendations along with personal preferences. I also recommend you review their online case studies and reviews. Crucially, ensure the chosen practitioner is licensed and experienced in dental implant procedures.
