Patient of the Month – New teeth in one day
We would like to share with you our special patient of the month story and the joy we brought to her!
One would be hard pressed to perform the teeth in one day surgery without the recently completed specialized training and the help of our fine support team including Mariela and Advanced Dental Studio’s Igor.
While the patient was sedated using DOCS protocol, we used a virtually generated guide for dental implant placing, we placed 6 implants and converted an exist-ing acrylic removable denture into a fixed prosthesis. (Below are the photos taken immediately after surgery)
The phrase “treat your patient as your family” was literally true this time as the patient was my grandmother Tema who will turn 90 years old in a few weeks.
Due to issues with a gagging reflex, she could not use the denture and has been on a soft diet for the last 2 years. The fact that she was able to bite and chew food just hours and days after surgery was very rewarding. One should add that she has no recollection of pain and the duration of the surgery due to the “magic” of Sedation Dentistry. Experiences like this make modern dentistry amazing and make patients very happy.
