What Is Complete Arch Rehabilitation with Zirconia Bridges?
Complete arch rehabilitation involves replacing all teeth in one or both dental arches using high-quality restorations. A zirconia bridge is a durable, natural-looking solution that is supported by dental implants for maximum stability and longevity.
Step-by-Step Journey of Mr. A’s Smile Makeover
- Diagnosis and Planning
- Comprehensive oral examination, including CBCT scans, revealed missing posterior teeth, worn dentition, and reduced vertical dimension.
- A digital smile design was created to simulate the desired outcome and guide treatment planning.
- Pre-Treatment Preparations
- Residual root fragments and non-restorable teeth were extracted.
- Alveoloplasty was performed to smooth the bone and prepare for implant placement.
- Implant Placement
- Six dental implants were placed in both the upper and lower jaws using advanced guided implant surgery for precise positioning.
- Temporary acrylic dentures were provided to ensure the patient’s comfort during the healing process.
- Zirconia Bridge Fabrication
- After a few months of healing, digital impressions were taken for custom zirconia bridge fabrication.
- Zirconia bridges were chosen for their natural aesthetics, high strength, and biocompatibility.
- Final Restoration and Fitting
- The zirconia bridges were carefully adjusted and fitted for proper bite alignment and maximum comfort.
- The result was a beautifully restored smile and fully functional dental arches.
