Double Zirconia All On 4 Dental Implant: Restores a Joyful Smile
MS came to our clinic hesitant but hopeful to find help for the discomfort and insecurity of ill-fitting dentures. His upper teeth were long gone, and most of his lower ones had followed suit, leaving him with a flimsy upper denture that cracked and shifted, causing him both physical and emotional distress.
MS missed the simple joys he once took for granted. He missed the pleasure of biting into a crisp apple or savoring a hearty meal. But most of all, he yearned for a smile that he wasn't embarrassed to show to the world.
During our consultation we outlined a plan for implant-retained fixed prosthetics—a transformation that promised stability, comfort, and above all, a smile worth showcasing. With resolve in his eyes, he agreed to embark on this journey towards a new chapter of self-assurance.
The day of the procedure arrived, and MS was filled with both anticipation and nervous energy. We placed four implants in each jaw, carefully securing the foundation for his future smile. At the end of the first day, he looked into the mirror and a genuine smile crept onto his face. We had fitted him with temporary fixed bridges, and with that first look MS could see the beginnings of his new smile.
Lasting Transformation
Over the ensuing months, his healing mirrored his emotional transformation. After several months, the day arrived for the unveiling of his permanent zirconia bridges. As MS saw his permanent new smile, it became even bigger and his joy was infectious.
His smile, once concealed, now radiated warmth and confidence. With eager anticipation, he made plans for his inaugural meal—a celebration of both nourishment and liberation.
As I watched MS leave our clinic that day, his steps were lighter, his shoulders squared. His transformation was more than just dental—it was a testament to the profound impact of restoring not just teeth, but dignity and joy.
The Final Result
