Roger attended the
Centre after having lost all but 4 of his own
teeth. He was distraught after gum disease had
ravaged his dentition. He is in his 50s and did
not want to wear dentures for the rest of his
life. He went to seek treatment in various places
including traveling abroad and was disappointed
with the outcomes that he was suggested all of
which were removable.
After a series of
discussions, we embarked on a treatment plan to
replace his teeth as well as the gum and bone
that had been lost. We provided him with fixed
teeth as soon as possible so that he could function
as normal whilst the reconstructive work was being
carried out.
Upper jaw
We then carried out
bone grafting gum regeneration procedures and
got him to a position where we could place implants.
Lower jaw
This enable us to
now position the teeth in the correct place having
carefully assessed his speech and eating patterns.
The lip support and cheek support was established
and gave Roger his facial profile back.
The finished result
was astounding. Roger was able to smile and eat
anything he wanted because of the natural dentition
that had been carefully crafted for him by the
master dental technician.
A delighted patient
whose life was returned back to normal with some
amazing dentistry providing him with a lifetime’s
worth of high quality living.
Case Study - Full Mouth Rehab/Reconstruction
No.2
Carol was in despair
having lost most of her top and bottom teeth due
to gum disease.
She came to the clinic having been
told that she would only be able to have dentures
for the rest of her life.
Carol leads an active social life, deals with
the public and was understandably concerned about
the long term effects of having lost most of her
teeth.
Her options were discussed
at length and it was clear she wanted fixed teeth.
She needed to have the quality of life that she
could only have with her own teeth. The dentures
were getting her down and were an intrusion on
her life.
Bone graft procedures were carried out and then
upper and lower implants were placed. Throughout
the treatment we were able to provide Carol with
fixed temporary teeth that were fixed in her mouth
while the ‘real treatment’ was being
carried out.
Nobody was aware of
the extensive treatment that was going on ‘behind
the scenes’ as Carol always had fixed teeth
and was able to carry on with her life as normal.
The upper jaw was restored with
implants and a fixed bridge.
As was the lower
jaw
The patient was restored
to a better aesthetic result than she had with
her own natural teeth and was able to function
to a much better level that she never thought
possible.
