Case Study: Full Upper Jaw Restoration
Patient: David S., 63
Concern: Significant bone loss in the upper jaw, previous implant failures, long-term denture use
Specialist: Dr. Matteo Rossi (GDC: 334567)
Background
David had relied on removable upper dentures for over a decade after losing his natural teeth due to severe gum disease. Over time, the bone in his upper jaw deteriorated extensively, making it impossible to place traditional implants because of insufficient bone volume.
After several unsuccessful implant attempts at other clinics, David had grown discouraged and resigned to wearing dentures permanently. His primary goal was to find a durable and comfortable long-term solution to restore his smile and oral function.
Seeking expert help, David visited Smilo Dental Implants London, where Dr. Rossi proposed an advanced approach involving zygomatic implants.
Before & After Images
- Treatment: Zygomatic Implants and Fixed Full-Arch Prosthesis
A comprehensive 3D CBCT scan and detailed treatment planning confirmed that zygomatic implants anchored into the cheekbones were the ideal solution. This approach provided exceptional stability without the need for bone grafting.
Dr. Rossi performed the procedure, placing six implants to support a fixed All-on-6 prosthesis. David received a temporary bridge on the same day, allowing immediate functionality and appearance.
Results: Life-Changing Smile Restoration
🔹 Reliable Stability: The fixed prosthesis offered David unmatched security, eliminating any slipping or discomfort from dentures.
🔹 Avoided Bone Grafting: Using zygomatic and pterygoid implants meant no extensive bone graft surgeries were necessary.
🔹 Renewed Confidence and Function: David now enjoys eating all his favourite foods and smiling with confidence, free from concerns about his teeth.
