Before and after
Initial Consultation
Diagnostic appointment
A consultation with Dr. Boris Cherkasski (prosthodontist) to evaluate the clinical condition of your mouth and suitability for this treatment. This usually involves taking x-rays, clinical photographs and may include taking impressions or 3D scan of your teeth.
During the examination, Dr. Cherkasski will evaluate your mouth, including the amount of bone available for placement of implants. He will also determine the type of teeth replacement that will best meet your needs. A review of your health history will indicate whether there are any medical conditions that could prevent you from implant treatment.
During the initial consultation, Dr Cherkasski will also determine the number of implants necessary, as well as any additional procedures that may be needed to obtain the desired functional and esthetic result.
Additional x-rays, such as 3D cone beam CT scan may also be recommended to get a more accurate view of the quality and quantity of your bone.
Surgical appointment
Following the initial diagnostic appointment, your surgical appointment will be scheduled. During this stage teeth will be extracted (if necessary), implants will be placed. Dr Cherkasski will take an impression or a digital scan of your jaw and implants.
Depending on your needs the procedure can be performed under local anesthetic, a light sedation, or general anesthesia (we will refer you to an Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon to perform the surgery in hospital).
Please Note: It is important to keep in mind that even though straightforward implant placement is not a complicated procedure, it is still a surgical procedure. And therefore, for your safety, the procedure should be performed by an experienced dental specialist (Maxillofacial Surgeon, Periodontist or Prosthodontist) who is comfortable managing any potential complications.
Temporary bridge insert
You will be provided with a temporary implant prosthesis 1-3 days after surgery. The temporary bridge is made of special plastic, that allows any changes to be made to ensure that you are completely happy with the appearance before the final bridge is made.
The final implant prosthesis typically provided 3-6 months after the surgery following successful healing of the jaws. During this time, the implants become bonded to the bone, a process called “osseointegration”.
Final bridge insert
Final Prosthesis
For the implants to bond properly to the bone, they must remain undisturbed for a period of several weeks to several months. During this time the bone will remodel around the implants and attach directly to them.
The implants will be monitored for 3-6 months following the surgery to ensure bonding to the bone is complete before the final bridge is made.
Generally, there are two types of definitive implant-retained bridges available.
- High Impact Acrylic placed on a titanium milled bar offers precision of fit combined with good aesthetics and strength.
- Ceramic (porcelain) teeth supported by a titanium milled bar. This offers excellent aesthetics combined with increased strength, and usually requires less maintenance.

Full teeth replacement treatment.
Full mouth reconstruction, also known as full mouth restoration or rehabilitation, encompasses the process of rebuilding, restoring, or replacing most or all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws, and it includes treatments such as full jaw teeth replacement. This specific treatment caters to individuals with failing dentition, multiple missing teeth, or those dealing with ill-fitting, loose dentures. The procedure involves the strategic placement of 4-6 dental implants in the upper and/or lower jawbone, which then support a bridge replacing all teeth, aiming to offer immediate tooth replacement that provides efficient function and an attractive appearance. Such interventions are often considered by those who have experienced significant dental damage or trauma due to various factors including facial trauma, chronic diseases or their treatments, recreational substance abuse, dietary habits, or inadequate oral hygiene.
Although full mouth reconstruction is an extensive, costly, and time-consuming process, it is typically viewed as a final strategy after exploring more conservative and cost-effective treatments. This comprehensive approach is not just about restoring the mouth’s functionality and aesthetics; it’s also about enhancing the patient’s overall wellbeing, especially for those whose oral health has severely deteriorated, leading to ongoing health problems. By integrating advanced treatments like full jaw teeth replacement, full mouth rehabilitation becomes a pivotal solution in not only restoring the teeth but also significantly improving the patient’s quality of life.
