Before Treatment: Four Non-Restorable Teeth Requiring Extraction

This patient came to Dr. John Ku with four severely damaged teeth that were deemed non-restorable due to extensive decay and structural deterioration. The condition of these teeth affected both the function and appearance of the patient's smile, making it difficult to chew comfortably and maintain optimal oral health. Because the teeth could not be predictably saved with traditional restorative treatments, extraction was recommended to prevent further complications and preserve the health of the surrounding teeth and bone.

After Treatment: Two Dental Implants and Custom Crowns Restore Function and Confidence

Following the extractions, Dr. John Ku restored the missing teeth with dental implants, each topped with a custom-crafted implant-supported crown. The dental implants were placed to replace the missing tooth roots, providing a strong and permanent foundation for the restorations. Once healing was complete, custom crowns were designed to match the patient's natural teeth in color, shape, and contour for a seamless appearance.

The result is a fully restored smile that looks natural and functions beautifully. The implant-supported crowns blend harmoniously with the surrounding teeth while restoring the patient's ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. In addition to enhancing aesthetics, the dental implants help preserve jawbone health and provide long-term stability and durability.
