Patient Background
Mike was referred to Dr. Ueckert & Associates through The Horn radio station after hearing about our advanced restorative treatments. Due to past smoking habits and gum infections, his teeth had suffered significant damage over the years. Like many patients during COVID-19, he had gone a long time without dental care. After discussing his options, Mike decided that a full-arch implant bridge was the best solution to restore his smile, function, and confidence.
Course of Treatment
- Surgical Phase – Referred to Dr. Widner for implant placement surgery.
- Immediate Restoration – Same-day temporary implant bridge was placed, allowing Mike to leave with a full set of teeth after surgery.
- Healing Period – Wore a temporary bridge for four months while implants integrated with the jawbone.
- Final Restoration – Custom, permanent implant bridge was placed for a natural-looking, long-lasting smile.
Results
Mike was ecstatic with his new smile. His implant bridge restored full function, allowing him to eat, laugh, and speak with confidence again. The immediate transformation provided by our world-class dental lab ensured that he had teeth from day one, and the final restoration gave him a strong, healthy smile built to last.
