Kathy’s case illustrates how important planning is before treatment begins. Kathy came to Link dental extremely frustrated (View Patient testimonial) with her upper implant overdenture. Her lip would catch on the denture flange when she smiled and occasionally this would dislodge her upper teeth. She did not like the grey/pink acrylic or the short teeth. Most importantly she did not like the fact that she had paid to have 8 implants placed, but because of poor planning 4 of those implants could not be use. In addition, she had been told her upper teeth would be fixed, but she was forced into a removable prosthesis.
