A case concerning severe gingivitis and dentures
This patient came to our clinic suffering from gingivitis and bad breath. The patient shared that they were aware of how bad their situation was and decided to visit us to take care of the problem once and for all.
Unfortunately, the patient's front teeth were loose and there was nothing we could do to preserve them. In this case we had to extract the loose teeth.
Before we extracted the patient's teeth, we altered the dentures so that they wouldn't have to go around with no front teeth after the extraction. We made false teeth for the front ones and reinforced the upper jaw so that the patient could bite again.
Normally when teeth are extracted it is necessary to leave the area open for a while which can hinder the patient's lifestyle. In order to spare the patient from this negative experience, we establish a treatment plan in advance.
We extracted 2 teeth from the upper jaw and used 4 others to support Resilience telescope dentures. There were more teeth left in the lower jaw but since many of them were loose due to pyorrhea, we chose the Riegel telescope method which would secure and link them together.
We attached inner crowns to the upper jaw and used them to snap the Resilience telescope dentures into place.
We secured the loose teeth of the lower jaw by linking them with an inner crown, which was further secured with the Riegel telescope dentures that fit over them.
This is when we set the dentures in place in the patient's mouth. Only white is visible making these dentures undetectable to other people.
The patient was very pleased after putting the dentures on and shared with us that they wanted to hurry up and go out to talk and smile with new people. This was significant as the patient had had a complex about talking and smiling before they came in.
We are always very pleased to see this patient's beautiful smile each time they come in for maintenance.
