Having my practice based on Aesthetics, Implantology and Oral Rehabilitation<\/a><\/strong>, all cases are fascinating to me but, without a doubt, some still manage to surprise and challenge me.<\/p>\n

Being also a Maxillofacial Surgeon and, obviously, placing many Implants<\/strong>, I am proud to be ultra conservative of the natural tooth: the best implant in the World!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In this case I managed to preserve all the patient’s teeth (I’m sure it wouldn’t be like this in many other clinics). This meant many more hours of work for the professional and longer appointments for the patient, but in my opinion, it pays off a lot!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Teresa’s case (fictitious name for privacy) was undoubtedly special.
\nTeresa is 49 years old, is an Accounting Administrator and came to me to change a situation that had dragged for a long time. She was aware that it had reached a point where a drastic intervention would be necessary if she wanted to keep her teeth.
\nBefore the actual Oral Rehabilitation, many hours of caries treatment, endodontics, gingival surgery were necessary, in an exhaustive work of treating teeth that, in some cases, seemed to be lost.
\nNo teeth were extracted.<\/p>\n

After this phase, the models were sent to the laboratory where the Oral Rehabilitation was designed and the temporaries made with the new shape and alignment of the teeth.
\nIn an appointment of several hours, the teeth of both arches were prepared, gum surgery (gingivoplasty) carried out after which impressions were taken and the temporaries placed.
\nWith this new look we had a preview of the final result, how it fitted the patient’s mouth and face.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To rehabilitate this case, several Fixed Prosthesis techniques were used: Ceramic Veneers, Ceramic Crowns and Zirconia Bridges, which together created a natural aesthetic smile and corrected the various changes in occlusion (the way the teeth fit together) that Teresa had.<\/p>\n

The result, a dramatic change, could not have made us happier and the it gave the patient the smile she had never had, both beautiful and natural looking.<\/p>\n
