Case Study: Full Upper Jaw Restoration
Patient: Michael T., 63
Concern: Severe upper jaw bone loss, previous implant failures, and long-term denture use
Specialist: Dr. Matteo Rossi (GDC: 334567)
Background
Michael had been wearing removable upper dentures for over a decade after losing his natural teeth due to severe periodontitis. Over time, his upper jawbone deteriorated significantly, making traditional implant placement impossible due to insufficient bone volume.
He had previously attempted implant treatment elsewhere, but due to bone loss, previous implants had failed, leaving him discouraged and resigned to wearing dentures permanently. His main concerns were:
Determined to find a lasting solution, Michael consulted Dental Implants Leicester, where Dr. Rossi recommended an advanced approach using zygomatic implants.
Before & After Images
- Solution: Zygomatic Implants & Full-Arch Fixed Prosthesis
After a 3D CBCT scan and treatment planning, Michael’s case required zygomatic implants, anchored into the cheekbone for stability, eliminating the need for bone grafting. An All-on-6 fixed prosthesis restored full function, with a temporary bridge placed the same day for immediate results.
Outcome: A Fully Restored Smile & Life-Changing Results
🔹 Permanent Stability: His fixed prosthetic teeth provided unmatched stability, eliminating slipping and discomfort.
🔹 No Bone Grafting Required: By using zygomatic and pterygoid implants, we avoided the need for extensive bone grafting.
🔹 Restored Function & Confidence: Michael could eat all his favorite foods and smile confidently without worrying about his teeth.
