Cosmetic treatment of several teeth using gum surgery, implants, veneers and crowns together:

Implant Patients

Young lady traumatised in accident four front teeth with root fracture of left lateral incisor necessitating its extraction. Implant placed in left lateral incisor with all-ceramic crown and porcelain veneers on other three front teeth.

Lady with severe periodontal disease requiring all upper teeth to be extracted. Eight implants placed and fixed bridgework on the implants. Throughout the time of implant integration bridgework was maintained on four remaining teeth that were subsequently extracted. Hence patient had fixed teeth during all the treatment time.

Gentleman with failing dentition and hopeless teeth. After all the teeth were extracted implant borne “hybrid” bridges are screwed into place. These replace both the tooth and the missing gum tissue with an aesthetic result.

Cosmetic Treatments

Poor previous restorations are removed and teeth restored with aesthetic precious metal/porcelain crowns on six front teeth.

This lady was embarrassed about her smile due to the colour and shape of her front teeth and she had a poor existing crown on her upper right front tooth. Following placement of a temporary crown and veneers the gums were surgically corrected to make them symmetrical. The other teeth were bleached to lighten the overall shade of the teeth. Ultimately a new crown and three veneers were cemented to provide a beautiful smile.

Complete Dentures

Lady with remaining six lower teeth and overclosed facial profile as poor upper complete denture giving insufficient support to face. The failing lower teeth were replaced with two implants and attachments that hold the lower denture firmly in place. A new upper denture follows the patient smile lines and supports her lips better.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation

With a very complicated occlusion and wear of the natural teeth the only option for this gentleman was to completely restore his teeth and bite. This required some teeth be extracted and implants placed to help support bridges in the lower jaw at the back. The other teeth were restored with crowns.

Complex Multidisciplinary Treatments

This lady had a lower jaw that was set-back and insufficient chin. She was also missing her lateral incisor and had a diminutive lateral incisor on the other side. Following orthodontics, jaw and chin surgery the missing tooth was replaced with an implant and the smaller tooth restored with tooth-coloured filling material as a veneer. This type of complex treatment needs planning with a number of specialties that is usually led by a Prosthodontist.
