Our patient, a 55-year-old man, saw Dr. Eyass Jebrin, Specialist Periodontist. He wanted to regain the function of his teeth, and to be able to speak and eat properly, and ultimately, to be confident when he smiles.
Extraction
The full mouth rehabilitation initially required extraction of all the patient’s teeth. He presented with several missing teeth and the remaining ones were all severely damaged and decayed.
Placement of Dental Implants
The time between extraction and placement of implants depends on a patient’s particular case. His implants were placed two months after extraction. He was given temporary dentures after extraction.
Final Restoration
The fixed bridge was fitted three months after the implants were placed. After the final fitting, a review was done after one week and Dr. Eyass had to assess the patient’s healing.
In-between Reviews & Maintenance Appointments
A series of reviews were made to make sure that the patient recovered as expected and that he was free from infection. X-rays of the implants were taken to evaluate and check stability of the hard -tissue levels and bone stability. He was given post-surgical instructions during these appointments.
