BAD TEETH DON’T AUTOMATICALLY MEAN YOU CAN’T GET DENTAL IMPLANTS.
_
One of the biggest things we’re evaluating isn’t just the condition of the teeth — it’s the bone underneath them.
You can have severely compromised teeth and still be a candidate for dental implants if there is healthy bone available to support them. Bone and dental Implants
That’s why the consultation and imaging matter so much.
The teeth you have today don’t always determine what’s possible for your smile tomorrow.

MISSING TEETH TO A FULL, FIXED SMILE!

This patient came to us missing teeth on both the upper and lower arches, and the goal was to rebuild everything in a way that looked natural, felt secure, and gave him his smile back.
With upper and lower FP1 dental implants, we were able to restore both arches with a fixed solution designed to look and feel much closer to natural teeth.
What makes an FP1 result different is the ability to recreate the teeth without adding artificial-looking pink prosthetic gum tissue — when the bone and soft tissue allow for it.
For this patient, that meant a complete transformation while still keeping the final smile clean, natural, and proportional to his face.
A drastic before and after — but the goal was never to make it look “drastic.”
The goal was to make it look like his smile was always supposed to look this way.

A PERFECT SMILE MEANS NOTHING IF THE BITE ISN’T RIGHT. 👀

With a full-mouth dental implant case, we’re not just designing how the teeth look.
We’re designing how they come together.
From the very beginning, we use a fully digital workflow to take measurements, design the smile, and plan the bite before treatment even starts.
•
Then on the day of the procedure, we can dial everything in in real time.
How the teeth meet.
How the jaw closes.
Where the pressure hits.
What feels comfortable to the patient.
•
And before we move into the final teeth, we can refine it even further based on how the patient is actually functioning in the prototype.
•
Because the end goal isn’t just a smile that looks incredible.
It’s a smile that looks good, feels good, and actually functions the way it should.

YOU GET TO “TEST DRIVE” YOUR VENEERS BEFORE WE EVER MAKE THE FINALS. 👀
This is what the first minimal-prep veneer appointment actually looks like.
We start by choosing your shade and dialing in the smile design.
•
Then we prepare the teeth — taking as little natural tooth structure as possible, and on some teeth, potentially none at all.
•
From there, we take a digital scan and send everything to the lab for your custom porcelain veneers.
But before the finals are made, you leave with temporary veneers in the shade you selected.
That gives you the chance to actually see the color on your face, live with it, smile with it, and make sure it feels right before we commit to the final porcelain.
•
It’s basically a test drive for your new smile.
Because something can look great on a shade tab…
But what matters is how it looks on you.
If you’re considering veneers and want to know whether minimal-prep veneers may be an option for your smile, DM us to schedule a cosmetic consultation.

THIS VIDEO WENT VIRAL… SO HERE’S WHAT WE WERE ACTUALLY DOING. 👀
•
A lot of people saw this clip and had questions about what was happening behind the scenes.
This is the prototype phase of a full-mouth dental implant case.
We remove the patient’s first set of temporary teeth, test the implants to make sure everything is healing the way we want, and then move into the next prototype.
Those prototype teeth are made in-house, adjusted, refined, and customized around exactly what the patient wants before we ever move into the final restoration.
Shape.
Fit.
Smile design.
Function.
This stage gives us the chance to make those changes while the patient is still in temporaries — so by the time we move to the finals, we already know exactly where we’re going.

THIS IS HOW WE TREATED EXTREME DENTAL DECAY IN ONE DAY. 🦷
•
This patient came to us dealing with severe dental decay and significant dental pain.
The remaining teeth could no longer give him the function or smile he needed, so we rebuilt his smile with dental implants and a full-mouth implant restoration.
But this wasn’t just about replacing teeth.
We were also able to address his underbite, improve the proportions of his smile, and create a gumline that looks incredibly natural around the final restoration.
The goal with a case like this is for the finished smile to feel like it belongs there.
•
And according to him, he sometimes forgets he even had the procedure done.
That’s a pretty incredible place to end up from where this case started.
If you’re dealing with failing teeth, severe decay, or think you may need full-mouth dental implants, DM us to schedule an implant consultation.

THIS IS THE SOUND OF A HEALED IMPLANT😱
•
This is not the only test we use to determine the strength and health of an implant. We use much more accurate methods such as a torque test to verify the implant strength but using the sound of the implant is a neat way to see if they are healed!

There’s a point where another filling, crown, or temporary fix simply isn’t the answer anymore. This patient came to Dr. Shore with severe decay, missing teeth, advanced gum disease, and a bite that needed to be completely rebuilt. The damage was extensive, but that didn’t mean there wasn’t a way forward.

With fixed dental implants, Dr. Shore was able to rebuild the foundation, restore the bite, and give this patient a completely different smile and quality of life. Whether your case calls for All-on-X, FP1, or another full-mouth solution, the first step is finding out what can actually be done.

If you’ve been told your teeth are too far gone or you’ve convinced yourself they are — call us. You may have more options than you think.
