Missing teeth and eroded jaw in need of repair: • Before: Missing tooth structure and compromised gum/bone (the result of years of bone resorption, or melting away) • Prior to implant placement: Completed hybrid acrylic fused to white-gold screw-retained bridge work (shown on a mirrored surface) • Completed bridge work with intaglio (tissue contacting surface), also shown on a mirror surface • After: Completed implant therapy. This patient went from removable dentures to having permanent, aesthetic and functional bridgework. She can now eat any type of food with comfort and security. The bridge can not be removed by the patient, but can be by Dr. Leopardi, if needed for professional cleaning and/or maintenance.
