A Life-Changing Transformation With Full Mouth Dental Implants
When this Kansas City patient came to Gordon Dental Implants & Cosmetics, he was struggling with severe dental decay, multiple broken teeth, and advanced deterioration that affected nearly every aspect of his life. Eating was painful, smiling was embarrassing, and traditional dentistry was no longer an option.
After a full evaluation, Dr. Philip Gordon—Board-Certified Implant Specialist (ABOI Diplomate)—determined that the best long-term solution was a full mouth dental implant reconstruction using a custom fixed zirconia implant bridge.
Today, he is over 5 years post-procedure with zero issues, enjoying full function, excellent oral health, and a confident, natural smile.
Why His Natural Teeth Could Not Be Saved
By the time he arrived at our Kansas City implant center, this patient was experiencing:
- Extensive dental decay
- Multiple fractured teeth
- Failing restorations
- Chronic infections
- Difficulty eating solid foods
- A smile he no longer felt proud of
Saving or repairing the natural teeth was not possible—the foundation was too compromised. In cases like this, full mouth extractions and implant rehabilitation provide the most predictable, healthy, and long-lasting solution.
Step 1: Treatment Planning With 3D Technology
Using advanced 3D CBCT imaging, digital scanning, and virtual implant planning, Dr. Gordon precisely mapped:
- Bone levels
- Implant positions
- Bite alignment
- Esthetic proportions for the final bridge
This ensures accuracy, safety, and long-term stability.
Step 2: Removing the Failing Teeth & Placing Dental Implants
All failing teeth were carefully removed, infection was treated, and implants were placed in ideal positions to support a full arch of new teeth.
Depending on bone levels and stability, patients may receive immediate temporary teeth or heal before receiving their final prosthesis.
This patient healed predictably and successfully, setting the stage for a permanent, beautiful result.
Step 3: Fabricating a Custom Zirconia Implant Bridge
After healing, impressions and digital scans were used to design a solid zirconia full arch bridge—the strongest and most esthetic material available for full mouth implants.
Why Zirconia Is the Gold Standard
✔ Extremely strong and fracture-resistant
✔ Natural tooth-like translucency
✔ Non-porous (resists staining, odors, plaque)
✔ Long lifespan with proper care
✔ Ideal for patients who want a fixed, non-removable solution
Unlike acrylic or hybrid bridges, zirconia does not chip, stain, or wear down easily. This is one reason why the patient is now over 5 years out with absolutely no problems.
The Final Result: A Confident, Functional, Healthy Smile
This full mouth reconstruction completely changed his life:
⭐ He can chew any food he wants—comfortably.
⭐ He smiles with confidence again.
⭐ His oral health has been fully restored.
⭐ His implants and zirconia bridge remain flawless after 5+ years.
The stability and longevity of his implants are a testament to expert planning, precise surgery, and the durability of zirconia.
