Margaret’s Story: Transforming Decades of Smiles with All-on-6 Implants

The Problem

Margaret, a kind-hearted and lively 62-year-old, had been facing significant dental issues for over two decades. As her oral health deteriorated, her confidence and quality of life were severely impacted.

Here’s what Margaret dealt with before reaching out to Opus Smile:

  • Complete Tooth Loss in Both Jaws: Years of dental neglect and failed treatments left Margaret entirely edentulous (missing all teeth).
  • Discomfort with Dentures: She had been using removable dentures, but they were ill-fitting, often slipping during meals and conversations, and caused irritation to her gums.
  • Dietary Restrictions: The instability of her dentures forced Margaret to avoid a wide range of foods, limiting her diet to soft, less nutritious options.
  • Loss of Confidence: Her missing teeth made her self-conscious, and she avoided social gatherings and photos for fear of judgment.

Margaret was determined to reclaim her smile, confidence, and the freedom to enjoy life’s simple pleasures, like sharing a meal with loved ones.

The Solution

Margaret’s journey to transformation began when she booked a consultation with Opus Smile Antalya. After a detailed examination and consultation, the expert team recommended All-on-6 implants for both her upper and lower jaws—a comprehensive solution tailored to her needs.

Treatment Journey

1. Comprehensive Assessment and Planning
Margaret underwent a thorough dental evaluation, including a 3D CBCT scan. The team carefully reviewed her oral health, bone density, and gum condition to create a personalised treatment plan.

2. Implant Placement Surgery

  • Margaret’s surgery involved placing six titanium implants in both her upper and lower jaws, providing a stable foundation for her new teeth.
  • The procedure was performed under local anaesthesia and conscious sedation to ensure her comfort.
  • Temporary fixed prosthetics were attached immediately after the surgery, allowing Margaret to leave the clinic with a functional and beautiful smile on the same day.

3. Healing Phase
During the 3-4 month healing period, her implants fused with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. Regular check-ups ensured her recovery was smooth and on track.

4. Final Restoration
In her second visit, Margaret received her permanent zirconia crowns. These custom-designed teeth were crafted to perfectly suit her facial features, creating a natural, radiant smile.

Why All-on-6 Was the Perfect Solution for Margaret

  • Enhanced Stability: The six strategically placed implants in each jaw provided unmatched stability for her new teeth.
  • Aesthetic Excellence: Her zirconia crowns offered a natural and lifelike appearance, restoring her youthful smile.
  • Bone Preservation: The implants prevented further bone loss, maintaining her facial structure and preventing the sunken appearance often associated with tooth loss.
  • Improved Quality of Life: Margaret could finally enjoy all her favourite foods, speak confidently, and embrace her social life with renewed confidence.
