Upper Molar Dental Implants to Replace Missing Teeth - Case Study -Dr. Amin, Burbank

Here is a nice basic case to follow from beginning to end.

This man's upper molars on one side were in bad shape:

The teeth were extracted and replaced with three dental implants in my office in Burbank.  He also had a deep cleaning.

The color denotes the size of the implants.

Standard abutments were able to be used rather than custom abutments.  This helps reduce cost, but most implant surgeons don't know how to place implants to prevent having to use custom abutments. 

Final Teeth: 

He was really happy to have teeth again.  He can eat anything he wants!

Hi Alex,

He had been missing these teeth for many years.

If teeth are desired during the healing process, a stayplate denture can be made as a temporary very easily.

Dr. Amin,

Did this gentlemen wear a partial denture until the implants were placed, so that he could chew as normal as possible until implant placement. How does one deal with missing upper molars until implants treatment is done?

thanks,
