Introduction:
Dianne, a café owner from Bacchus Marsh, spends most of her day talking to customers and tasting food. Over time, her dental health had deteriorated to the point where eating and speaking comfortably became a daily challenge. After exploring various treatment options, Dianne chose the All-on-4 procedure offered by Dental House Group. This treatment would allow her to replace her upper teeth with a full, fixed bridge supported by just four implants—all placed in a single day. It was the efficient, long-term solution she had been looking for.
Problems
- Several missing and failing upper teeth
- Ongoing discomfort while eating
- Difficulty chewing certain foods
- Loose partial denture
- Failing old dental work
Treatments
- Initial Visit: Comprehensive examination, including 3D scans and clinical assessment
- Second Visit: Impressions and planning for the temporary fixed bridge
- Surgery Day: Removal of remaining upper teeth, placement of four implants, and immediate fit of a fixed provisional bridge
- Follow-up Appointment: Post-operative review and adjustment of the temporary bridge (within 1–2 weeks)
- Healing Period: 3–4 months for implant integration
- Final Visit: Placement of the definitive full-arch bridge after successful healing
Results
Dianne’s treatment went smoothly from start to finish. On the same day as surgery, she left the clinic with a fixed set of upper teeth that allowed her to return to soft foods quickly. After the healing period, her final bridge was fitted, giving her a strong and stable bite. She was very happy with the outcome and appreciated the professionalism and attention to detail shown by the team at Dental House Group.
