Case Study 3 - Smile Transformation with Full Arch Implants (All-on-X)

We combine dental implants with digital smile design to restore missing teeth with precision and custom aesthetics. Dental implants provide an ideal long-term solution to replace missing teeth, while digital smile design ensures that your new smile looks natural and balanced. This advanced approach allows us to create a truly customized, patient-specific restoration that provides seamless and lasting results that not only restore function but also enhance your overall smile.

Our patient came to us with failing denture and missing teeth. He had been missing teeth for years and was tired of his removable dentures not staying in. The patient wanted a more permanent, functional, and esthetic option. As a result, the patient elected to restore his smile with a non-removable implant-supported prosthetic (All-on-X).

Using advanced EXOCAD software and 3D imaging, we created a custom, patient-specific smile design right in the office. The digital design was then brought into the physical world through 3D printing. A 3D printed digital denture was designed and fabricated to initialize the planning process for both the surgery and restorative phases.

A 3D printed digital prototype was then fabricated to represent the desired positioning of the teeth within the smile. This gave the patient the opportunity to give feedback and verify the desired esthetics prior to surgery.

The dental implants were surgically placed while the patient was under anesthesia. The prototype prosthetic design was used to create a 3D printed surgical guide. This ensured precision and accuracy during the surgery.

An advanced digital impression was used at the time of the surgery. This impression was combined with the digital design to create a custom digital prosthetic.

A 3D printed ceramic prototype was placed to allow for gingival contouring and time for the implant to fully integrate into the bone. The precision fit and durability of this long-term prototype eliminated the need for a “flipper” or temporary “tray” during the healing phases of treatment.

The prototype prosthetic was delivered, and the patient was allowed to heal for 4-6 months. During which time, all the phonetics, esthetics, and functions were tested out. Any changes were then corrected in the final design.

The custom designed implant retained prosthetic prototype is used as the template to design the final restoration. The final restoration restores the patients function, phonetics and esthetics for the patient. A true smile rehabilitation that feels and functions like real teeth.

Finally, the prosthetic was fabricated and placed.
