Case Study: Full Lower Arch of Implants for a Happy Patient – Dental Perfection Coventry & Kettering

At Dental Perfection, we’re dedicated to helping our patients achieve the smile of their dreams. One of the ways we do this is through dental implants, which offer a permanent and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through a dental implant case study that shows the remarkable transformation one of our patients experienced after deciding to go with dental implants instead of dentures.

Our patient initially came to us seeking dentures for a solution to his missing teeth. During the consultation with our experienced dentist, Johnny, the patient expressed a desire for a more permanent solution. After discussing the advantages of dental implants, such as their durability, comfort, and natural appearance, the patient opted for a full lower arch of implants. This treatment is known as All-on-4 dental implants, where four implants are placed to support a full set of replacement teeth.

Before proceeding with the implants, we needed to gather important information about the patient’s oral health. We performed detailed scans and X-rays to assess the bone levels and determine the best placement for the implants. This is a crucial step in ensuring the implants are placed in the optimal position for long-term success.

During this process, the patient required three extractions, which we performed in our practice. We ensured the patient was as comfortable as possible during the procedure, and after the extractions, we provided a temporary denture so that the patient was never without teeth during the healing process.

After the extractions, we made sure the patient had time to heal properly before proceeding with the implants. For the next eight weeks, the patient wore the temporary dentures while the extraction sites healed. During this period, we checked in with the patient regularly to ensure everything was progressing well and that the patient was comfortable with their temporary dentures.

Once the extraction sites had healed, we scheduled the implant placement surgery. We made sure to choose a date that was most convenient for the patient, working around his working patterns to ensure minimal disruption to his routine. On the scheduled day, we placed four dental implants into the patient’s lower jaw, using the latest technology and techniques to ensure precision and long-lasting results.

After the surgery, the patient wore healing abutments with their temporary dentures, so they were never without teeth during the healing process. We made sure to check in with the patient later the same day to ensure they got home safely. To our delight, the patient reported that they were out shopping at ASDA just a few hours after the procedure! Although they experienced a little swelling, they reported no pain—just some mild discomfort.

The next day, we called the patient again to check on their recovery. They told us they were still a little swollen but experienced only a small amount of discomfort. The patient returned for a review just a week later, and we were pleased to find that everything was healing perfectly.

After the implants had fully healed, we scheduled the final appointment to place the implant-supported bridge. The results were amazing! The patient was thrilled with the outcome and the natural appearance of their new teeth. They were so pleased that they even decided to have their upper arch done with us in the future.

Half way there:
Had my first session for implants with dental perfection yesterday. Arrived home with expectations of a sore /painful mouth for about a week. To my surprise I awoke this morning with no pain and only a slight soreness. Got up did my getting up routine and then did laundry and went off to shopping. Really delighted with the care and attention also skill and knowledge of the team.
This was just the first step but feel confident that the rest of the treatment will be just as good.
No hesitation in awarding full marks and a recommendation to Dental perfection for anyone thinking of taking this step.
