This patient had front bridge that was failing and several teeth that had decay. Some of her teeth also needed extracting due to severe disease. This patient wanted a combination of crowns to fix her natural teeth and implants to replace her missing teeth.

Dr. Swamidass consulted the patient and explained to her she would benefit from having braces to place her lower teeth in a more favorable position to avoid placing restorations on several of her lower teeth in order to restore her ideal function. Meanwhile, she had 4 implants placed in the upper to replace her missing teeth.
