From no teeth and severe bone loss to a confident, fixed smile in just one day. 🦷✨
For people with advanced upper-jaw bone loss, traditional dental implants may not always be possible. In selected cases, advanced zygomatic and pterygoid implants can use stronger areas of bone to support fixed temporary teeth—often within the first 24 hours.
Why do we begin with temporary teeth?
At North Haven Dentists, the first three months serve as both a healing period and a “test drive” for the new smile. During this time, we evaluate the appearance, bite, speech, comfort, and function of the temporary teeth.
Once healing is complete and the smile has been carefully refined, the temporary teeth are replaced with the final permanent restoration. This deliberate approach allows important adjustments to be made before the final teeth are completed instead of committing to the permanent design on day one.
The CBCT shown in this Reel illustrates how implants can support fixed temporary teeth during the healing phase before transitioning to the final smile.
Even when severe bone loss is present, advanced implant solutions may provide a path to fixed teeth—sometimes without extensive bone grafting.
