This patient thought she could never have dental implants. She was so fearful of the procedure. I used I.V. sedation anesthesia so she could sleep through the surgery.
The x-ray shows that she is missing her lower molars on one side. She also has a cracked root canal tooth supporting bridge on the other side.
Here is a before picture:
Here is the after!
In the final x-ray you can see the dental implants really clearly. I had to add a little bone to the side that was missing teeth for so long.
Big question. Are you toothless after implants while waiting for healing? I’ve been told I need all teeth pulled, & don’t know how I’d function if forced to be toothless for months!
You will always have teeth throughout the process with most experienced dentists. 🙂
Your work is beautiful! Wow!
thank you!!
