It's never too late to fix your smile

After 30 years with dentures- it was time to get the smile she deserved.

Case Details

Dentists: Dr Alex Fibishenko, Dr Anne-Maree Cole

Location: Fortitude Valley

After more than 30 years of wearing dentures, 67-year-old Maria decided it was time to explore a different path. Newly retired and with more time to focus on her health, she began considering other options to improve her oral comfort and lifestyle.

Maria’s dental journey began in her thirties, when she experienced a gum infection that led to the loss of several front teeth. Like many people in similar situations, she was advised at the time that dentures were a practical and accessible solution. Over the decades, she adapted to the routines that come with removable dentures—regular cleaning, maintenance, and adjusting to the feel and function of a removable appliance.

Despite managing for many years, Maria eventually began exploring other options that might better suit her long-term needs. She came across the All-On-4 Plus® method—a treatment that uses dental implants to support a fixed full-arch bridge. This approach is designed for individuals who have missing or failing teeth and are looking for a fixed alternative to dentures.

Maria attended a consultation at The Littleton Cole Dental Centre, where she was assessed and given information about the procedure and whether she would be a suitable candidate. Following this, she chose to proceed with treatment.

“I was really very pleased when I got my permanent teeth,” Maria says. “I asked myself, why did I wait so long?”

Her experience reflects a personal decision to pursue a change that aligned with her lifestyle and values. She says that the stability of having a fixed dental bridge has made everyday routines feel more manageable. “Once you’ve done the research and made the decision to proceed—go for it,” she shares. “That was the best thing I’ve done for myself.”

The All-On-4 Plus® approach is structured to support both functional and aesthetic outcomes. For many patients, fixed full-arch restorations can simplify oral care and reduce the need for removable appliances. It is important to note that outcomes vary between individuals based on oral health, bone density, and other health factors. Practitioners assess each patient carefully to determine if the treatment is appropriate for them.

Maria says that the decision to move away from dentures helped her feel more confident about her daily routine and interactions. “It’s never too late to make that change,” she says.

For individuals considering alternatives to dentures, a professional consultation can help clarify the options available. Each person’s needs are different, and treatment decisions are best made in collaboration with a qualified dental professional.

Maria’s experience highlights the value of taking the time to explore long-term options and make informed choices. While she spent many years adapting to dentures, she found that moving to a fixed implant-supported bridge suited her goals in retirement.
