A patient presented to Greenvale Dental House with two missing front teeth in the upper jaw. The gaps were affecting appearance and causing some discomfort in day-to-day life.
Presenting Clinical Problem
Missing upper front teeth had left gaps that affected both appearance and function. A comprehensive examination reviewed the condition of the remaining upper teeth and the patient’s goals for treatment.
Treatment Approach
After discussing the options, the treating dentist recommended All-On-4 to provide a full, fixed set of upper teeth. A range of tooth-replacement options exists, and the most suitable choice depends on the condition of the remaining teeth and bone.
Steps involved
- Extraction of any remaining compromised teeth in the upper jaw
- Placement of four implants in the upper jaw
- Fitting of a custom-designed All-On-4 set of teeth
Clinical Outcome
The replacement upper teeth were designed to look natural and to blend with the facial features, restoring the ability to speak, eat and smile comfortably. Treatment time, healing and results differ from person to person.
Common Questions
Can All-On-4 replace just the front teeth?
All-On-4 restores a full arch rather than a single gap. Whether a full-arch approach or a smaller restoration suits you depends on the condition of the remaining teeth, which is assessed at a consultation.
Will the new teeth look natural?
The replacement teeth are custom-designed to suit the shape of the face and the surrounding features, though outcomes vary between people.
Please note: individual results vary and All-On-4 is not suitable for everyone. Suitability can only be determined at a clinical consultation. To discuss upper-arch options, book an assessment with the team at Greenvale Dental House.
