PATIENT BACKGROUND

The patient had extensive previous dental procedures, including the placement of multiple bridges to address missing teeth. It had been several decades since his last dental cleaning, and he presented with severely decayed and broken-down teeth, as well as mobility issues due to bone loss. Experiencing dental anxiety, he expressed a desire for functional eating ability and considered dentures as a potential solution.

Once the patient was ready for the delivery of the Final implant supported bridge, he was extremely happy he did not settle for a prosthesis that he had to take in and out of his mouth every day. His current bridge will only be removed by us once a year to evaluate and clean the implants. This bridge will be brushed just as if they were his natural teeth. This life changing transformation has left the patient with more confidence, is no longer embarrassed to show his gorgeous smile, and can laugh out loud without being self conscious. Dental anxiety is something we see often in the world today. We were able to keep this patient at ease and he dealt with the process with trust and courage.
