subject: Dreams and Fears Did Come True in on Fateful Day [print this page] One tooth is worked out at a time with the use of pliers to gently pull them out of their sockets and placing them on a paper laden tray. Not an upper tooth was left in a matter of minutes and the initially empty tray was filled with her estranged teeth. On that day in May, this patient had both her fears and her dreams realized. It was an enormously challenging phase in this patient's life. In addition to the extensive period she has to spend waiting. Thankfully, the endurance was all worth it because of the wonderful reward.
Immediately a month after, the Twin Falls resident would be sporting a movie star smile, and the genetic periodontal disease that has terribly affected her life would be gone. Thankfully, her future is not going to include going toothless the entire night every time she removes her dentures, unlike her mother. The day all her upper teeth were removed, she remembers telling her mom she would never want to do that when she was a kid. I'm glad to get rid of these ugly things, I'll tell you.
Nobody beat her in The Worst Bite Contest conducted by a Twin Falls cosmetic dentist. It was her friend's initiative that brought her to the contest and she was really astonished upon hearing that the price would be a total mouth reconstruction by the dentist. In one of her appointments, the dentist said that he has long been waiting to perform a smile makeover. He presented his duplications and matched them up with the pictures taken of her prior to the procedure.She said she has seen the dream into which she wants to reside forever. The commercials she watches are just animated versions of what she wants to see in herself. The last time she had dental insurance was 15 years ago, and she knows her teeth are about to fall off because of her genetic condition, and that is despite his proper brushing and flossing. Her enamel will not start to chip off, her fillings will not cease falling out, and new cavities will inevitably appear.
The cosmetic dentist knew he needs all the top skills he has earned from the day he saw the status of his patient's mouth. Rather than fit her with a removable denture, which wouldn't retard the bone loss in her jaw, the dentist turned to a new technique all on four that attaches a permanent denture to four titanium posts implanted in the bone. She is the first patient this city has ever had to undergo the described procedure. To provide the finishing touches of her makeover, veneers will be placed on her bottom teeth.A local firm that fabricated the prosthetics used in one television show on makeovers, and is also internationally published and acclaimed, constructed the permanent implants and dentures used. It is computer assisted and fabricated to form the small screws and to mold the accurately shaped prosthetic teeth that comprise the implant dentures.
A device shaped like a retainer was also fabricated where four holes have been precisely placed. There was a device that the dentist used as guide as he drilled with a graduated bit that allows him to drill holes into the jaw bone without severing the gum tissue. We still avoid cutting through the gum to facilitate early healing and less pain after the procedure, despite achieving anesthesia for the patient.In the end, she got what she wanted, a perfectly looking smile for the rest of her life.
