Implant Bridge - Cleft Palate

This person was born with a severe cleft lip and palate, which affected their smile and ability to chew properly. For many years, the only option was a removable acrylic partial denture. Once all the adult teeth came in and growth was complete, oral surgeons began rebuilding the area with bone grafts through several surgeries over time. After enough bone was in place, three dental implants were placed. Once the implants healed, a fixed bridge was attached, restoring both the appearance and function of their smile.
