Pre-treatment, lips retracted, frontal view with original partial dentures.
Pre-treatment, lips retracted, frontal view without partial dentures.
Pre-treatment, upper occlusal view with partial denture.
Pre-treatment, lower, occlusal view with partial denture.
Model of “surveyed” upper crowns. These are crowns made specifically for patients who will wear a removable partial denture. They are made on a Surveyor which is a device where the crown can have perfect features to receive a Removable Partial Denture. These crowns, combined with implants result in a nearly perfect fitting partial denture that does not move in any direction except outward when the patient removes it to clean.
Model of “surveyed” lower crowns. Same as upper.
Lips retracted, frontal view of surveyed crowns delivered, implants with Locator abutments in place.
Lips retracted, upper, occlusal view of surveyed crowns delivered, implants with Locator abutments in place.
Lips retracted, frontal view of surveyed crowns delivered, Locator attachments in place ready for transfer to the partial denture.
Upper, implant over-partial with Locator attachments transferred. These “attachments” act as a “snap-on” mechanism when placed over the implant abutments.
Lips retracted, lower, occlusal view of surveyed crowns delivered, implants with Locator abutments in place.
Lips retracted, lower, occlusal view of surveyed crowns delivered, implants with Locator attachments in place ready for transfer to the partial denture.
Lower, implant over-partial before Locator attachment transfer.
Lower, implant over-partial (occlusal view).
Lips retracted, frontal view of final restorations. Without the implants, metal clasps would be necessary on the upper canine (eye teeth) which would be visible in the smile.
Upper, occlusal view of final restorations. Note the perfect fit of the partial denture framework on the surveyed crowns.
Lower, occlusal view of final restorations. Note the perfect fit of the partial denture framework on the surveyed crowns.
Right side view of final restorations. Clasps are usually necessary with implant over-partials but we can keep them back from the smile reveal.
Left side view of final restorations. Clasps are usually necessary with implant over-partials but we can keep them back from the smile reveal.
