Grant was suffering with severe periodontal disease and a painful abscess. He’d recently visited another dentist to have some teeth removed but it didn’t help the pain. He also had an infection in his upper jaw and was worried about further tooth loss.
Due to the peridontitis, the prognosis for Grant’s remaining teeth was poor. After an assessment, it was determined that removing his teeth and replacing them with All-on-4 would be the most effective and beneficial long-term solution.
Grant had his remaining teeth removed and implants placed under twilight sedation in one visit. A few days later, he returned to try-in his temporary tooth bridge so Dr Dunn could check the fit and make any necessary adjustments. Grant wore his temporary tooth bridge while his jaw and gums completely healed, meaning he didn’t have to worry about being without functional teeth during this time. Six months later, Grant had his definitive Signature tooth bridges placed. Now, he can enjoy life without painful teeth holding him back.
