Our patient came to our Oral Rehabilitation consultation after my team and I had treated her daughter and son-in-law with complete rehabilitations. She gained courage after realizing that the recovery, the post-operative period and the final result of the treatments met the expectations of her closest relatives. She wanted her removable dentures to stop falling out when she spoke and ate. With this treatment, we were able to solve his problem of the last few decades in a simple way. He now visits us every year with his family for a maintenance appointment. Before After

Our patient, after her brother had been rehabilitated by our team, also decided to have the “courage she lacked”, in her own words, to go ahead with her treatment. After all the tests and information had been discussed between us and the patient, she opted for this solution. She is very happy with the results of the treatment and comes to see us every six months. In the particular case of this patient and this treatment, we make two maintenance appointments a year.

We managed to strike a balance with the patient in terms of the solution decided on for the treatment and the commitment needed to reduce smoking habits. He was able to chew again and is very happy with the aesthetics that the two semi-fixed structures now give him. Before After

Our patient had been anxious and afraid of going to the dentist for several years. The consequence is notorious and can be seen in the photographs before treatment. The surgery was carried out in such a way that, when he is personally able, he will be able to move on from this semi-fixed solution to the “Teeth in 1 day” treatment, since the implants, due to their bone positioning and quantity, will already be ready to receive future fixed structures. Even so, the patient is very satisfied with the security and confidence that this solution gives him. Before After
