INNOVATIVE IMPLANT SOLUTIONS
“This long-term male patient had increasing concerns about hisoverall appearance. As a Professional Engineer who owned andmanaged his own firm, he was constantly in the public eye, bothin terms of his networking and his “sales” activities. As such, hisdeteriorating oral health was impacting not only on his smile butactually aging him perceptibly as time went on.Yet, as a busy entrepreneur, he had always also felt he could
not afford the time required for a comprehensive solution. Thishad resulted in a series of “quick fixes” to a series of dentalcomplaints including extractions, bridgework, crowns and otherrestorations – as his overall dental health continued to decline.In the past, he had suffered from headaches while his current sit-uation was a litany of broken teeth and rampant decay. Finally,at one visit, I outlined two different overall approaches for him.The first was the placement of crowns, bridges and cast partials,which would resolve his functional issues but would not deliverthe overall esthetic results he desired. The second was the conceptof a “non-surgical facelift” through Full Mouth Reconstruction,improving his overall appearance and well being by correctinghis vertical, his bite and creating a more comfortable jaw posi-tion. He finally decided that it was time to face his concerns headon and he selected the second option.We began by determining his comfortable jaw position. At the
same time, we utilized Diagnostic software, in conjunction withthe Aurum Ceramic/Classic Implant Team, to determine theoptimal placement for a number of implants as the foundation fora new fixed bridge (#2-4 - #2-6) and single crowns on #1-6, #1-7
and #3-6. After implant placement (by Dr. Cliff J. Revell) andhealing, Fixed Lower and Upper Orthotics were placed to correcthis jaw alignment and calibrate his proper vertical positioning.These remained in place for six months. The K-7 was thenemployed to confirm we had indeed created an accurate bite.Aurum Ceramic/Classic created a Diagnostic Wax-up as per
their ACCES™ system, which the patient enthusiasticallyaccepted. His remaining dentition was prepared and temporizedfollowing the LVI protocol for esthetic reconstruction with theAurum Ceramic/Classic Advanced Esthetic (AE) Teamproviding Prep Indices, Bite Stent and Siltec Provisional Stent.The implant-based restorations were created utilizing Zirconia-based Contessa™ with IPS Empress (Shade 020) crownsemployed to restore the remaining dentition, all beautifullycrafted by Aurum Ceramic/Classic.This case has now been in place for one year with excellent
results in all aspects of the bite and esthetics. The patient isextremely pleased (as you can see in the After Full Face photo)with his “non-surgical facelift” and definitely looks and feelshappier and healthier. As he puts it, “People are always compli-menting me on my smile. They ask which toothpaste I use to keepmy teeth so bright. No one seems to realize that these aren’t mynatural teeth.” And, that’s what makes it all worthwhile in myopinion.”
