| Teeth Supported Overdenture to Implants Supported Overdenture |
 |
| Pre Operative || Only Few Teeth Remaining || Failed Dentition |
Shaileshbhai Haria, a 65-year-old gentleman, first visited
our clinic back in 2016 with a simple yet significant concern – he was unable
to chew properly. On examination, we found that he had only a few teeth left,
which were not enough to support proper chewing.
Fortunately, his two lower canines were strong and healthy.
We decided to preserve them and planned a tooth-supported overdenture. Both
canines were treated with root canal therapy and used as abutments (support) to
retain his lower denture. With this solution, Shaileshbhai regained his ability
to chew comfortably and enjoyed life for several years.
Fast forward to 2023, he returned to us with a new problem –
his lower denture had become loose. On examination, we discovered that both of
his canines had become carious and could no longer serve as abutments.
After discussing the options, we decided on a more advanced
and long-lasting solution – immediate implants at the site of the extracted
canines. Once the implants were placed, we allowed a healing period of three
months. After successful integration, we fabricated a brand-new
implant-supported overdenture.
Today, Shaileshbhai is once again chewing with confidence,
smiling freely, and extremely happy with the comfort and stability of his new
dentures.
👉 What makes this story
special is the seamless transition from tooth-supported overdenture to
implant-supported overdenture, ensuring the patient never had to compromise on
function or quality of life.
