Prosthetic rehabilitation can be challenging in cases of maxillectomy or developmental defect. This article describes a case in which a magnetically retained, implant‐supported denture was used to restore the maxilla following hemi‐maxillectomy. Use of the Oral Health Impact Profile before and after treatment showed a marked diminution in the number of adverse impacts 2 weeks post‐placement and during review 6 months later.
