This patient came to Dr. John Ku with two missing back molar teeth, creating a gap that affected both chewing function and overall oral health. Missing molars can make it difficult to eat certain foods comfortably and may place excessive pressure on the remaining teeth. Over time, tooth loss in the back of the mouth can also contribute to shifting teeth, bite changes, and jawbone deterioration. The patient wanted a long-lasting solution to restore the missing teeth and regain full function.
To replace the missing teeth, Dr. John Ku placed a dental implant and restored the area with two connected custom crowns designed to replace both missing molars. The implant serves as a stable foundation, supporting the restoration while helping maintain the health and integrity of the jawbone.
The custom crowns were carefully crafted to match the size, shape, and contours of the surrounding teeth, creating a natural-looking restoration that blends seamlessly with the patient's smile. The attached crowns restore the chewing surfaces of the missing molars, allowing the patient to eat comfortably and confidently once again.
The result is a strong, functional, and aesthetically pleasing restoration that replaces the missing back teeth while preserving oral health. Thanks to Dr. John Ku's expertise in dental implants, implant-supported restorations, and restorative dentistry, the patient now enjoys improved chewing ability, enhanced comfort, and a durable solution that looks and functions like natural teeth.
