Teresa – All-on-4 Dental Implants (Teeth in a Day)

Teresa came to us with a severe fear of dentists. This caused her teeth to deteriorate over the years. The first time she came in, she was very emotional and cried. She was extremely ashamed of her smile and decided it was finally time to do something about it. She read that we offered IV sedation and implants. After some consultations, it was decided to remove her remaining upper teeth and place implants and a bridge (“all on four”) all in one appointment. This was accomplished under IV sedation. She went home the same day with five implants and a new bridge that stays in her mouth. The photos were taken 3 days after the procedure. She said that she took 3 or 4 ibuprofen after the procedure and now smiles whenever she comes into the office. She also seems much more comfortable sitting in the dental chair. She will heal for a few months and then have the permanent bridge fabricated.
