Find out how we transformed Sérgio's smile

The lack of teeth was classically associated with elderly patients. Older age implied, almost always, the loss of teeth and this process was seen as something natural and inherent to the aging of the human being. However, in a modern world in which the average life expectancy increases every year, what we see is the existence of increasingly younger patients with the need for extensive dental rehabilitation to replace lost teeth or with very poor prognosis.

Classically, these patients would have to go a long way from the beginning of the treatment to its completion, which in most cases would involve a long period without teeth or with removable prostheses that offer little stability and aesthetics.

Thanks to the great technological advances in the area of Dentistry that have occurred in recent years, it is possible for us today to return a fully functional and aesthetic smile to these patients in a predictable and safe way. And that is exactly what we did with Sérgio ...

After several years unhappy with his smile, with a clear ineffectiveness in his chewing and without real answers to his dental problems, Sérgio came to us with a simple objective:

Smiling again, chewing again, regaining self-esteem quickly and painlessly

After analyzing the case, we found that Sérgio's remaining teeth would have a poor prognosis due, in large part, to an uncontrolled and very advanced periodontal disease, which led to very high mobility in almost all teeth. Thus, and taking into account Sérgio's needs, a treatment that would involve the entire rehabilitation of the upper and lower jaw using implants was proposed, explaining all the steps so that the whole process could be performed safely and predictably.

After planning the surgical case in a digital way, as well as planning the prosthetic phase taking into account Sérgio's facial physiology, the surgery was scheduled ...

The surgical plan included the extraction of the remaining teeth in the upper and lower jaw, bone and gingival remodeling, placement of 4 upper implants and 4 lower implants, as well as making two fixed acrylic prostheses placed on the day of surgery.

Treatment Plan:

We are a family owned and operated business.

1. Pre-Surgical Oral Hygiene

2. Extraction of all upper and lower teeth

3. Gingival and bone remodeling

4. Placement of 4 implants in the upper jaw and 4 implants in the lower jaw

5. Placement of Upper and Lower Acrylic Fixed Prosthesis on the same day

The changes provided by this type of treatments radically change the lives of patients. The aesthetic, functional and psychological effects of this type of transformation are enormous. The great challenge of this type of rehabilitation is to maintain the patient's facial pattern unchanged, guaranteeing an aesthetic rehabilitation, functional but adapted to the physiology of each patient. Thus, the entire planning process prior to implant placement is fundamental and allows us to have a predictable and safe result, not being standardized, but adapted to each case.

The improvement in the quality of life in these patients is immediate and their self-esteem and confidence increases exponentially. However, it is important to explain to patients that this type of rehabilitation requires increased care in Oral Hygiene around the implants as well as regular check-ups.

It is always with great happiness that our team sees these cases concluded. The possibility of being able to change a patient's life in such a radical and dramatic way fills us with emotion and with a sense of mission accomplished ...

Thank you all.
