Looking for a Permanent Alternative to Dentures in Kansas City?
If you are struggling with failing teeth, a collapsing bite, or the daily frustration of removable dentures, you aren’t just looking for a dentist you are looking for a specialist who can restore your quality of life.
At Gordon Dental Implants & Cosmetics, we specialize in All-on-4® dental implants for patients in Kansas City, Overland Park, and Leawood. Led by Dr. Philip Gordon, a Board-Certified Implant Specialist (ABOI Diplomate), our practice has successfully placed over 10,000 dental implants, making us the most experienced choice for your smile transformation.
The Challenge: When Traditional Dentistry Isn’t Enough
Many patients visit us after being told their teeth are “unsalvageable.” In this featured case, our patient faced severe upper arch decay and missing lower molars. This combination leads to “bite collapse,” where the face can begin to look sunken and eating becomes painful.
While general dentists might suggest a simple denture, a Board-Certified Specialist looks for a permanent solution that preserves jawbone health and restores 100% of your chewing power.
The “Full Mouth IMplants” Solution: Upper All-on-4® and Lower Single Implants
To provide the most natural result, Dr. Gordon designed a custom strategy that treated the upper and lower jaw differently:
1. Upper Arch: All-on-4® Fixed Zirconia Bridge
For the upper jaw, we utilized the All-on-4® treatment concept. By placing four high-grade titanium implants, we created a permanent foundation for a non-removable bridge.
Why Zirconia?
Unlike the acrylic (plastic) used at many discount implant centers, we use Zirconia. It is virtually chip-proof, stain-resistant, and looks exactly like natural tooth enamel.
2. Lower Arch: Restoring the Bite with Single Implants
Because the patient’s natural lower front teeth were healthy, we preserved them. To restore her ability to eat steak and crunchy foods, we placed single dental implants on each side of the lower jaw to replace her missing back teeth.
Advanced Technology: Why 3D Planning Matters
Precision is the difference between an implant that lasts five years and one that lasts a lifetime. We use 3D CBCT imaging to virtually plan your surgery before it begins. This technology allows Dr. Gordon to:
- Identify the highest density of bone for the strongest “grip.”
- Avoid nerve pathways for a safer, more comfortable recovery.
- Ensure the final teeth are perfectly aligned for a youthful, symmetrical smile.
The Result: A Life-Changing Kansas City Smile Transformation
The final outcome was a functional, beautiful smile that looks and feels like her own.
