The Problem

Maria, a vibrant and energetic 45-year-old, had struggled with significant dental issues for nearly a decade. Years of untreated gum disease, combined with severe tooth decay, had left her with multiple missing teeth and several loose, deteriorating ones.

These issues caused both physical and emotional distress:

  • Severe Tooth Loss: Maria had lost most of her upper and lower teeth, leaving her unable to chew properly and reliant on soft foods.
  • Jawbone Deterioration: The lack of teeth had led to extensive bone loss in both her upper and lower jaws, resulting in subtle facial sagging and an older appearance.
  • Aesthetic Concerns: Maria was deeply self-conscious about her smile, avoiding photos and social interactions where she might need to show her teeth. She described it as “losing a part of herself.”
  • Health Challenges: The inability to chew properly was not just a quality-of-life issue but also affected her overall nutrition and health.

Maria had tried using traditional dentures in the past, but they didn’t fit well, often slipped while eating, and felt unnatural. She wanted a permanent, fixed solution that would restore her ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

The Solution

Maria’s case required a comprehensive full-mouth rehabilitation to address both the functional and aesthetic issues she faced. After an in-depth consultation at Opus Smile, Turkey, the dental team proposed a full-mouth All-on-6 implant solution for both her upper and lower jaws.

Treatment Journey

Maria’s case required a comprehensive full-mouth rehabilitation to address both the functional and aesthetic issues she faced. After an in-depth consultation at Opus Smile, Turkey, the dental team proposed a full-mouth All-on-6 implant solution for both her upper and lower jaws.

Here’s how Maria’s smile transformation unfolded step by step:

  1. Comprehensive Assessment and Planning
    • Maria underwent detailed 3D scans and X-rays to assess the condition of her jawbone and ensure precise implant placement.
    • The All-on-6 system was chosen as the ideal solution for her, as it provided the stability needed for a full-arch restoration and utilised existing bone without the need for extensive grafting.
  2. Implant Placement Surgery
    • Maria’s surgery was completed under local anaesthesia with sedation, ensuring her comfort throughout the procedure.
    • Six titanium implants were strategically placed in both her upper and lower jaws. These implants were carefully angled to maximise support and avoid areas of bone weakness.
    • Immediate loading was performed, meaning temporary prosthetic teeth were attached on the same day, allowing Maria to leave the clinic with a functional and aesthetic smile.
  3. Healing and Osseointegration
    • Over the next 3-4 months, the implants integrated with Maria’s jawbone in a process called osseointegration, becoming a permanent part of her anatomy.
    • During this period, Maria adapted to her temporary teeth and followed a soft-food diet to allow proper healing.
  4. Final Prosthetics
    • Maria returned for the final stage, where custom-made porcelain teeth were attached to the implants. These prosthetics were designed to match the shape, size, and shade of natural teeth, creating a flawless, natural-looking smile.
    • The final result gave Maria the confidence to smile freely, eat her favorite foods, and enjoy life without limitations.

Why All-on-6 Was the Perfect Solution for Maria:

  • Enhanced Stability: Six implants in each jaw provided a secure foundation for her full-arch prosthetics, ensuring durability and comfort.
  • Natural Aesthetics: The custom porcelain prosthetics were indistinguishable from natural teeth, restoring her smile to its former glory.
  • Bone Preservation: The implants stimulated her jawbone, preventing further bone loss and maintaining her facial structure.
  • Life-Changing Confidence: Maria regained her ability to eat, laugh, and socialize without fear or embarrassment, improving her overall quality of life.
