Patient Background
Mr. Anil Kumar, a 65-year-old retired engineer and diabetic, had been living with persistent dental problems for over a decade. His failing teeth, recurrent infections, and significant bone loss had drastically reduced his quality of life. Chewing even soft foods became a challenge, leading to dietary restrictions that affected his nutrition and overall health.
Moreover, the physical pain and aesthetic concerns made him avoid social gatherings, leaving him feeling isolated. Anil had tried temporary fixes in the past, but none provided lasting relief. Realizing he needed a comprehensive and permanent solution, he sought the expertise of Dr. Jaydev Dental Clinic, renowned for its advanced dental rehabilitation procedures and compassionate care.
Symptoms
When Anil visited Dr. Jaydev Dental Clinic, he exhibited the following symptoms:
- Chronic dental infections: Multiple teeth were decayed, infected, and beyond repair, causing pain and discomfort.
- Extensive bone loss: Periodontal disease had led to significant bone deterioration in both upper and lower arches.
- Functional issues: Chewing was severely impaired, limiting him to a restricted and unsatisfying diet.
- Aesthetic concerns: Missing and damaged teeth left Anil self-conscious about smiling, further affecting his confidence and interactions.
These symptoms highlighted the urgent need for a full-mouth rehabilitation to restore both functionality and aesthetics.
Diagnostic Method
To craft a tailored treatment plan, Dr. Jaydev Dental Clinic employed state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and methods:
X-Ray Analysis: Provided an initial understanding of Anil’s dental structure, highlighting areas of infection and decay.
CBCT Scanning: High-resolution 3D imaging offered a detailed view of the affected teeth, gums, and bone structures, enabling precise planning for implant placement.
Digital Smile Designing: Advanced software simulated potential outcomes, allowing Anil to visualize his transformed smile and provide input on his preferences.
Comprehensive Dental Examination: A thorough assessment of Anil’s gum health, tooth alignment, and bite functionality was conducted to address all underlying issues comprehensively.
Disease Diagnosed
Advanced periodontal disease: This had caused chronic infections and significant bone loss.
Multiple failing teeth: Extensive decay made several teeth unsalvageable.
Loss of chewing functionality: The absence of stable teeth impaired his ability to eat comfortably.
Aesthetic deterioration: Missing teeth and damaged dental structures compromised his smile and confidence.
Treatment Plan and Post-Surgery Guidelines
Treatment Plan:
The team at Dr. Jaydev Dental Clinic meticulously designed a multi-phase treatment plan to address all of Anil’s dental concerns:
1. Pre-Surgical Phase:
Removal of all infected and failing teeth to eliminate pain and prevent further bone loss.
Comprehensive cleaning and debridement to prepare the arches for implant placement and ensure a healthy foundation.
2. Tooth Preparation:
A minimal amount of enamel was gently removed from the front surfaces of Aarav’s teeth to ensure a snug fit for the veneers. This step was carefully performed to preserve the tooth structure.
3. Prosthetic Phase:
Temporary zirconia prostheses were fabricated and placed immediately after surgery, allowing Anil to regain chewing functionality and confidence while his gums healed.
Within 10 days, final zirconia prostheses were customized and placed, offering a durable, natural-looking, and aesthetically pleasing solution.
Post-Surgery Guidelines
Dietary Restrictions: Avoid hard and sticky foods for at least four weeks to allow the implants and prostheses to settle securely.
Oral Hygiene Routine: Brush with prescribed toothpaste, use an antiseptic mouthwash, and floss gently around the implants.
Follow-Up Visits: Attend regular check-ups every six months to monitor the health of the implants and receive professional cleanings.
Avoid Harmful Habits: Refrain from teeth grinding, nail biting, or using teeth to open packages, as these can damage the prostheses.
Outcome
The results of the treatment exceeded expectations. Anil’s smile was transformed, combining improved functionality and aesthetics. For the first time in years, he could chew comfortably, enjoy a varied diet, and smile with confidence.
The use of Digital Smile Designing ensured that his new teeth complemented his facial features perfectly, creating a natural and harmonious appearance. Anil expressed his gratitude, saying, “I feel like I’ve got my life back. This is more than I could have imagined.”
Long-Term Expectation
With proper care, Anil’s All-on-Six implants and zirconia prostheses are expected to last over 15 years. The durable materials and advanced placement techniques ensure stability and longevity. Regular follow-ups at Dr. Jaydev Dental Clinic will maintain the health and functionality of the implants, preserving Anil’s renewed confidence and quality of life.
