Full Arch Dental Implants: A Complete Smile Restoration for a 50+ Male Patient

Dental Implant in South Bopal

Patient Background and Initial Concerns

A 50+ year-old male patient visited Dentafix Dental Clinic in South Bopal, Ahmedabad, with severe oral health issues affecting his daily life and self-confidence. He reported that most of his teeth were either missing, chipped, or worn out. Whenever he spoke or smiled, his teeth were barely visible, creating the impression that he had no teeth at all. This gave his face a sunken appearance, making him look older and affecting his social interactions.

The patient shared, “I felt like my face had collapsed. I was embarrassed to speak or smile in front of people. Eating was also a constant struggle.” His condition also resulted in compromised bite force and inefficient chewing, further leading to gastrointestinal discomfort.

Symptoms and Clinical Evaluation

During his evaluation by Dr. Jahnavi Patel, Managing Director and Implantologist at Dentafix, the following symptoms were noted:

E
Advanced attrition with severely worn-out teeth
E
Multiple chipped and cracked teeth
E
Posterior missing teeth, contributing to a loss of chewing ability
E
Collapsed occlusion with facial height reduction
E
Generalized yellowish teeth from wear and discoloration
A comprehensive diagnostic protocol was followed, which included 3D scans, bite registration, full-mouth X-rays, and intraoral photography. These revealed extensive damage and a resorbed ridge, necessitating advanced rehabilitation.

Diagnosis and Treatment Planning

Based on the findings, the diagnosis confirmed the need for full-mouth rehabilitation. Dr. Jahnavi Patel, a leading specialist in implantology, proposed a multi-phase treatment strategy. This would involve:
E

Placement of All-on-4 dental implants in both arches to restore the missing posterior teeth and support prosthetics

E

Crown lengthening procedures to optimize tooth proportions

E

Root canal treatment (RCT) for salvageable anterior teeth

E

Ceramic crowns for esthetics and function

E
Composite fillings in localized areas
E
Full occlusal rebalancing and bite correction

This full arch dental implants plan was crafted to provide not just aesthetics but long-term structural stability.

Dr. Patel explained, “The challenge wasn’t just replacing teeth—it was restoring harmony between function, facial balance, and confidence.”

Dental Implants Procedure

The restoration began with a series of preparatory treatments:

  • Periodontal cleaning and decay removal
  • Endodontic therapy for selected teeth
  • Crown lengthening to increase visible tooth surface for crown placement
E

Phase 1: Surgical Implant Placement

Four implants were placed in each arch using the All-on-4 dental implants technique. Posterior implants were angled to maximize bone contact, minimizing the need for grafting in areas with bone resorption.

E

Phase 2: Temporary Prosthesis and Occlusion Stabilization

A functional temporary prosthesis was delivered the same day to maintain facial structure and allow the patient to regain chewing function immediately. Adjustments were made to restore his vertical facial dimension.

E

Phase 3: Final Prosthetic Restoration

After successful osseointegration, zirconia crowns were fabricated for durability and esthetics. These were carefully matched to the patient’s facial profile and bite requirements. The final prosthesis provided a full arch of fixed, stable teeth.

Post-Treatment Guidelines

Post-surgery, the patient was advised to:
E
Eat soft foods and gradually reintroduce firmer textures
E
Maintain oral hygiene with interdental brushes and medicated rinses
E
Maintain oral hygiene with interdental brushes and medicated rinses
E
Attend regular follow-ups for occlusion checks and implant stability monitoring

Results and Long-Term Prognosis

 Within weeks, the transformation was visibly and functionally significant. The patient could smile confidently, chew efficiently, and communicate without self-consciousness. His face regained fullness and proportion, giving him a youthful, healthier appearance.

[Patient Quote: “This has been more than a dental treatment—it’s been a life transformation. I feel younger, eat better, and I’m no longer ashamed to smile. The care I received from Dr. Jahnavi Patel and her team was outstanding.”]

Given the quality of implants used and the precision of placement, the long-term expectation is excellent. With good hygiene and regular follow-up, his dental implants procedure will provide lifelong support.
