A Life-Changing Smile Restoration: A 63-Year-Old Patient’s All-on-4 Journey in San Diego

A smile is a powerful expression of confidence and joy. But what happens when dental problems like broken or missing teeth make you hesitant to smile? For one of our 63-year-old patients, this was a daily reality. At our Kearny Mesa dental office, she found a permanent solution that not only restored her smile but also her quality of life: the All-on-4 dental implant procedure.
The Challenge: Broken and Missing Teeth
Our patient came to Dr. Israel Ismaj with a history of broken and missing teeth that made it difficult to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. The "before" photo below shows the extent of the dental issues she was facing.

Living with uncomfortable and unreliable teeth can be frustrating. After a thorough consultation, it was clear that a full-mouth restoration was needed to provide a stable, long-term solution.
The Solution: All-on-4 Dental Implants in Kearny Mesa
Dr. Ismaj recommended the All-on-4 treatment, a revolutionary procedure designed to replace a full arch of teeth using only four strategically placed dental implants. This approach provides incredible stability and serves as a strong foundation for a permanent bridge.
For this patient, both the upper and lower arches were treated with All-on-4 implants. These implants would anchor custom-made, screw-retained fixed hybrid bridges.

This hybrid bridge is a high-tech prosthetic that combines the natural look of beautiful new teeth with a durable, pink acrylic base that mimics the appearance of healthy gums. The screw-retained design ensures that the bridge is securely and permanently attached to the implants, eliminating the slipping and discomfort associated with traditional removable dentures.

The Transformation: A Stable, Natural-Looking Smile
The results of this full-mouth restoration are nothing short of remarkable. The "after" photos showcase a complete transformation, revealing a beautiful, vibrant, and natural-looking smile.

The patient now enjoys the freedom and confidence that come with a fully functional set of teeth. Her new smile is not only aesthetically pleasing but also offers lasting comfort and stability. She can now eat her favorite foods, speak clearly, and, most importantly, smile without hesitation.
