This gentleman came to our office with a mouthful of failing teeth due to cavities and periodontal disease. We extracted his teeth, placed 11 implants. The 'after' picture shows his implant retained dentures. These dentures were so strong that when we first engaged the implants we only used half of them because he wasn't strong enough to take them out. Now that the muscles of his mouth have strengthened he's able to use all of the implants and he can eat absolutely anything he wants to.
