The above case was quiet a complex case. The patient's upper jaw bone was too atrophic to receive dental implants. We needed to build the upper jaw up with bone grafting as well as sinus bone grafting surgery prior to and in preparation of implant surgery. Finally when the grafting had healed and the jaw bone was ready, we place 5 dental implants then after additional healing time, placed the final crowns and bridges.
The Case below, shows the use of 4 dental implants and 11 units of dental crowns/bridges to rehabilitate our patients upper jaw. Using the latest in digital technologies, we are able to digitally (virtually) performed the surgery before carrying it out on our patient.
Using our 3D Shape Scanner and 3D Volumetric Tomography scanner, we can precisely plan our implant surgery to achieve proper alignment and ensure a safe and smooth result.
TOP - A pre-surgery scan
MIDDLE - Identification of nerves, arteries etc and planning to avoid them. Planning out depth and angulation
BOTTOM - Immediate post surgery showing excellent placement. These implant will be ready to restore in 4-6 months.
Note the implant in the top jaw was placed 4 years prior.
All the stages are shown from
Removal or previous broken down tooth (3 months allowed for healing)
Implant placement (further 4 months allowed for healing)
Measurements for crown being taken
Final picture is 1 year into service with crown on implant.
Note how progressively more bone in filling in around the implant
Replacement of an old crown and replacing a missing tooth with an implant. Our patients teeth were not white, and the crowns made to match the surrounding teeth.
Digital Planning to minimize risk of nerve and artery damage as well as to help with proper alignment of dental implant in the jaw
