Natural Recovery with an Implant Bridge After a Fractured Front-Tooth Bridge in Your 40s

Hello!

This is Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic.

Today, we’re sharing the treatment process for a patient in their 40s who was reconstructed with an implant bridge after a fractured front-tooth bridge.

The front teeth are a very important area not only functionally but also aesthetically.

In daily life as well, since they have a direct impact, the focus tends to be on restoring the front teeth quickly.

The front-tooth bridge came out and broke Front-tooth bridge fracture, implant bridge

Patient in their 40s Anterior front-tooth bridge, tooth fracture Condition of the existing bridge prosthesis Root canal treatment had already been completed, and it was determined that saving the existing teeth would be difficult Extraction followed by implant reconstruction was needed

Because the front-tooth area is the first thing seen when smiling or speaking, even during the treatment period careful treatment planning was necessary so that aesthetics could be maintained.

Overall, gum care was needed, and while the immediate urgent issue was the upper front teeth, we also explained care for the other teeth.

After thorough consultation, we established the following step-by-step treatment plan:

1. Extraction and implant placement + bone grafting
2. Fabrication of a flipper to preserve speech and daily function during the treatment period
3. Surgery and prosthesis fabrication
4. Final prosthesis placement

Preparation for daily life with the front teeth Implant bridge after front-tooth bridge fracture 24.4.1

We checked the fractured bridge and took impressions so that daily life with the front teeth would be possible.

For temporary teeth that can be used until the final prosthesis is completed after implant surgery, please refer to the details below.

Extraction and surgery Implant bridge after front-tooth bridge fracture 24.4.12

The damaged teeth were extracted and implants were placed.

On the day of surgery, the gums around the area tend to swell, so it is better to use a mask.

We will disinfect the area and make sure you can wear the temporary teeth.

Temporary prosthesis placement Implant bridge after front-tooth bridge fracture Of course, since it is temporary, it will be uncomfortable. You won’t be able to eat with it, but you also can’t go around with no front teeth, so please think of it as temporary... and use it accordingly.

Second implant surgery Implant bridge after front-tooth bridge fracture After about 4 months of osseointegration, we proceeded with the second surgery.

Sometimes patients ask, "I already had implant surgery, so why do I need another one?" The information below may help.

Impression taking for tooth fabrication Implant bridge after front-tooth bridge fracture For the final implant tooth, a precise impression is taken.

Since it is a front tooth, we ultimately check the color, shape, and aesthetic factors.

Because it must blend harmoniously with the neighboring teeth and look natural, we take a more precise impression and examine it carefully while the temporary tooth is in place.

We also attached the final prosthesis with a weak adhesive and allowed enough time for the patient to adapt.

We finally completed the finishing work. When teeth are placed in a gap where the front teeth were missing like this, the patient’s satisfaction is usually quite high.

Front-tooth implants are connected not only to function but also to the patient’s social life, so they are also cases that leave us feeling most rewarded after treatment.

When a bridge fractures or a problem arises with the front teeth, daily life comes to a sudden stop, so it is natural to feel anxious about whether things can return to how they were before.

But as in this case, if you take each step one by one, it may not be exactly like your natural teeth, but you can still achieve a natural and satisfying result.

Thank you
