Full-arch implants after years of a loose lower denture
Treated by Dr. Hyeonjoon Park




Why the patient came in
The patient had worn a lower denture for many years. It moved while eating and had to be removed and cleaned after every meal. The panoramic X-ray showed that long-term denture wear had left the lower jawbone low and thin.
What was done
- 3D CT and an intraoral scan were used to plan implant positions, angles and lengths on the computer before surgery.
- Eight implants were placed in the lower jaw, together with a bone graft.
- Fixed temporary teeth were connected to the implants the day after surgery.
- About three months later, custom abutments and the final full-arch prosthesis were fitted.

Implant surgery can cause swelling, bruising or discomfort for some days, and implants need regular check-ups and careful cleaning to avoid peri-implantitis.
