Why do people have oral surgery?
'The most common reasons are because
a dental problem is affecting the patient's
overall health. For example, if they have
an infection, or the surgery will prevent
damage to adjacent teeth (perhaps they
have impacted wisdom teeth).
'Patients may have surgery because it
will increase their everyday comfort and
self-esteem by offering an aesthetically

pleasing solution, such as a full

Could you share a patient's story
that could help others considering
treatment to make a decision?
'We have patients from all age groups
- our eldest was 95 years old. Complex,
prolonged problems may appear
with advancing age.
'Recently, two sisters in their 50s,
Teresa and Christine, visited our clinic
together. One had crowded teeth,
while the other was unhappy with the
gaps between her teeth. Their longneglected dental care had led to more
serious problems. By the time they
came, they were both suffering from
inflammation of the gums and gingivitis,
yet they hadn't had the courage to
see a dentist earlier.
'Some months ago, encouraging each
other, they decided to undergo dental
treatment together - so they came to our
clinic. Unfortunately, their neglected
oral care resulted in extensive tooth
decay, and we had no option but to
remove some of their teeth.
'Fortunately, there is a solution that
can restore the pleasure of smiling
within a short time and without pain.
It offers patients the opportunity to live

their life as they would wish. This
solution is dental implants.
'Dental implant placement is now a
routine surgical procedure that offers
an ideal solution for missing teeth. The
functional and cosmetic success of an
implant is critically dependent on the
amount and quality of bone that will
receive and support it. Because of this,
bone grafting plays a crucial role in
implant dentistry. If there isn't sufficient
bone to support the implant, bone
grafting surgery becomes necessary
- as was the case with our two ladies.
'Bone grafting was then followed
by implant placement - an implant
replaces the root of the tooth. Finally,
zirconium and porcelain crowns, which
are identical to natural teeth, were
attached to their implants.
'The sisters were very pleased with
the results, saying, "We can't thank you
enough! Finally, we have smiles we can
be proud of. We have regained our
smiles and our confidence."'
