Lesley: Full Arch Implant Treatment

That Old Sparkle Returns

After a detailed assessment, we offered Lesley the complete and painless solution of having a full set of upper teeth fixed on implants. She decided to proceed and we completed the operation in a single day. Now, with a new lease of life, Lesley cannot stop smiling.

“The first thing you do is smile in the mirror - I was just so happy with them!”

Treatment overview

Over the years Lesley had been suffering with her teeth, she remembers being outgoing and the chatty one at events but found herself standing back more recently and learning to smile in a new way which she wasn’t happy with.
She finally decided to visit us when she started having some pain from one of her upper teeth and knew she needed to get something done.
At Lesley’s clinical assessment with Dr Bill Schaeffer who confirmed Lesley’s upper dentition was failing, she also lacked posterior support in her lower arch. We planned to replace all her upper teeth with a full arch dental implant bridge supported on 4 implants and place two implants on either side of her lower jaw.
On the day of her surgery, we extracted all her remaining upper teeth and placed four implants. Our on-site laboratory constructed her a temporary bridge so she could leave the same day with new teeth. From this moment on, Lesley could not stop smiling. Over the following weeks, we reviewed Lesley during the healing phase before making her final permanent bridge.
Lesley now has a beautiful set of upper teeth and back teeth on her lower jaw to help her enjoy her food again and smile and be the life of the party again.
