When a person goes from hiding their smile to regaining function, aesthetics, and confidence in just a few hours.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a very common type of case in patients with advanced periodontal disease and severe functional overload: they first notice slight tooth mobility, and then, suddenly, that mobility becomes generalized, especially in the upper incisors. That is when the aesthetic problems begin, along with insecurity when smiling and real difficulty eating.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This patient came to my clinic referred by other patients, presenting with a compromised periodontal condition, marked functional overload, and severe mobility of the upper incisors. He was a patient with strong masticatory force, significant bone volume, but poor bone quality.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With conventional implantology, this usually means multiple extractions, healing periods, provisional removable prostheses, bone grafting, and, finally, a bulkier fixed rehabilitation, because the prosthetic space is no longer that of natural teeth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here, we did something different.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We extracted the four upper incisors and, during the same surgical procedure, placed four 23 mm basal anchorage implants, seeking support in the cortical bone, the densest and most stable bone available. In addition, intraoral welding was performed to rigidize the entire structure and provide maximum stability from the very first moment.<\/p>\n

Intraoral welding. The implants are joined using an electrowelded titanium bar to rigidify the assembly and allow immediate loading without the risk of micromovements<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

The result?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Real immediate loading.<\/p>\n

Fixed teeth from day one.<\/p>\n

No removable prosthesis.<\/p>\n

No long waiting periods.<\/p>\n

No loss of quality of life during treatment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A long-term provisional restoration was placed to monitor tissue evolution and, as often happens in this type of case, the patient reported minimal discomfort and an immediate improvement in function, aesthetics, and overall well-being.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"
Long-term fixed provisional prosthesis. Designed to be fitted on the same day, preventing the patient from having to wear removable dentu<\/span>res<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is not just about placing implants.<\/p>\n

It is about changing a person\u2019s life in a matter of hours.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"
Final result just a few hours later. The patient immediately regains chewing function, the aesthetics of their smile, and, above all, their confidence.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
