When Maria came to
the Centre, she was in despair. Now in her late
thirties, she had always been told that she had
‘soft enamel’ ever since she was a
child and she felt resigned to having bad teeth.
The thought of extensive dental treatment frightened
her emmensely.
She had let her teeth and her oral health deteriorate
to the extent that although most of her teeth
were restorable, some teeth had fractured and
needed to be replaced.
She wanted to have
teeth which looked good and felt good. She did
not want to see broken teeth or metal fillings
in her mouth.
Having examined Maria, all her options were discussed
and she agreed that she had the rest of her life
left ahead of her and wanted the most long term
results.
We planned to change
her old metal fillings, place some crowns on the
weak teeth and replace the un-repairable teeth
with some dental implants.
Maria was treated under sedation
and much of the work was carried out in one appointment.
The broken teeth
were removed and immediate implants were placed.
Maria was able to leave with her teeth intact
and gaps restored.
A period of 3 months followed before
the final phase of the treatment was commenced.
During this time
Maria able to smile and talk as normal and go
about her daily life although she was asked to
remain on a soft diet for about 6-8 weeks after
the treatment.
Maria was so thrilled with the final result that
she was incredibly emotional.
With some other smile
enhancement treatments, Maria’s smile was
restored to its full and natural beauty.
She had strong teeth that she will
look after just like her own.
She was able to have the treatment
in comfort and without anxiety as she was sedated
during the procedures.
Her smile and confidence was restored
and she had very little disruption in her life.
