Tooth loss due to extraction is a significant problem that affects the masticatory function, speech function, and psy- chological aspect, which is aesthetics during smiling and speaking. Missing tooth should be immediately substituted by dentures to return the important functions of the oral cavity. The use of dentures is expected to increase the qual- ity of life related to oral health and confidence in socializing. A 38-year-old female patient complained of several missing and damaged teeth. She lost tooth 17, 16, 14, 24, and 26. Caries was found in several teeth and some of the teeth were endodontically treated. The patient had a jacket crown on her front teeth with a discoloration around the gingival area that made her lost confidence. She desired new dentures. The treatment of choice includes 4 units of fixed dentures made from PFM on tooth 18, 17, 16, and 15, 3 units of intra radicular fixed dentures made from PFM on tooth 25, 26, and 27, 3 units of fixed dentures made from Zirconia on tooth 14, 13, 12 and 22, 23, 24, and single crowns from Zirconia on tooth 11 and 21. Crown lengthening was performed beforehand. The patient was satisfied with her new dentures. She felt more comfortable during mastication and happy because she has a more beautiful smile after wearing the new dentures.
