Various dental specialists are involved in dental implant placements for either a fixed or a removable prosthetic restoration. The location of placement is an important judgement that based on a proper clinical and radiographic examination. With advances in computed tomography the use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been seen as a significant step in minimizing improper implant placements. We present a case of an elderly patient wearing a dissatisfactory mandibular complete denture mainly due to severely resorbed mandibular residual alveolar ridge. A diagnostic CBCT confirmed the bone volume present at the future implant site predicting the use of a 3.5 mm by 8 mm implant fixtures. New complete dentures were fabricated followed by two stage surgery of placing implants. After a period of 5 months, two abutments (ball) were placed and the denture was retained on the abutments using an O ring. The patient was put on regular follow up for a period of one year.
