| Faced with a diagnosis of periodontally hopeless teeth with advanced mobility, significant bone loss, and poor esthetics, Bill felt torn about what to do. He sought other opinions. Three years after his heart surgery, Bill returned to Pi Dental Center for another comprehensive prosthodontic evaluation. His prosthodontist recommended extraction of all of his teeth, while his periodontist suggested that a few teeth might be saved and used to fabricate a tooth-supported restoration. Due to the advanced bone loss and tooth mobility, Bill was told that conventional treatment would be too unpredictable. He opted to have all his teeth removed. Since he felt that financial restraints wouldn't permit him to replace all his teeth with implants immediately, Bill chose, instead, to receive Teeth in a DayTM in his lower jaw, while having a denture created for the upper jaw. At the time of extraction, all the soft tissue and abscesses were removed from the tooth sockets. Seven Brånemark implants (Nobel Biocare, Yorba Linda, California) were then immediately placed in the lower jaw, and a Teeth in a DayTM prosthesis was created to fit on top of them. |
