Reconstruction with a Quadrant of Crowns Seated on Implants

Posted in Dental Crowns
Posted on January 30, 2019 by Dr. Gerald Marlin

This patient presented with the need to restore the upper left quadrant. With so few teeth remaining, her options were to have a removable appliance or place implants for fixed Implant Supported Crowns. Due to a very large sinus, she had no bone support in this quadrant. Therefore, a bone graft was done in the left sinus area, followed by 5 implants as tooth root replacements. She has been restored to complete function in her left side with a more esthetic result and does not have to wear a removable appliance.
