Prosthodontist and Implant Dentist, Dr. Daniel Tan, reviews a case where we re-treated a patient who came to us with botched dental implants. When he came to us, he had already had all of his teeth removed and many dental implants placed, some poorly placed and in inappropriate positions. He had not worn any teeth at all for several months. He wanted to have FP1 implant bridges, and the case was challenging for many reasons. Dr. tan gives a slide presentation showing every step of the case from beginning to end. The patient ended up with full mouth (upper and lower) FP1 implant bridges.
Many patients looking for full arch or full mouth implant bridges are told they cannot have FP1 restorations and that implant dentures, better known as “All-On-4” restorations, are the best (and only) option for them; that those cases are few and far between. MANY times this information is simply not true. Our practice does these FP1 cases every week. While it’s true that the “All-On-4” is a very popular and commonly done treatment, this treatment protocol yields a FAR SUPERIOR final result.
