The Challenge

This patient came to us feeling self-conscious about her smile and struggling with an upper denture that no longer felt secure. She wanted a fixed, long-term solution that would let her smile, eat, and speak with confidence again.

 

After losing all of her upper teeth, she also experienced progressive failure of her remaining lower teeth due to a developmental condition.

 

This left her struggling with an unsatisfactory upper denture that affected both her comfort and confidence on a daily basis.

Treatment at a Glance

Careful Digital Planning

This step allows patients to understand the planned outcome before treatment begins, helping set realistic expectations and confidence in the process.

Following a comprehensive consultation, her case was carefully planned using 3D CBCT imaging, digital intra-oral scanning, and clinical photography. As part of the planning process, we created a digital smile simulation, allowing her to visualise her new smile in advance and feel confident before treatment began.

Same-Day Fixed Teeth with Guided Implant Surgery

All remaining teeth were gently removed, and dental implants were placed at the same appointment using the CHROME GuidedSMILE system, ensuring exceptional accuracy, safety, and predictability. Thanks to this guided approach, fixed provisional bridges were fitted on the same day, meaning she never had to go without teeth.

A Confident, Permanent Result

After a five-month healing and integration period, the provisional bridges were replaced with permanent, premium zirconia fixed bridges, designed for long-term strength, comfort, and natural aesthetics.

 

Using a fully guided full arch dental implant solution, we restored secure fixed teeth and natural function. The result is a stable, secure smile that looks and feels natural — restoring not only function, but confidence and quality of life.
