At LP CLINIC, each transformed smile is a testament to overcoming challenges, care and technology. In this article, we share the true story of a young patient who had been struggling with the physical and emotional impacts of severe periodontitis for years. With an integrated clinical approach and the support of a multidisciplinary team, we performed a complete rehabilitation with dental implants and fixed prostheses, restoring not only the patient's chewing function, but also her self-esteem and quality of life.
The Clinical Case: Initial Situation
The patient, aged around 40, presented with marked tooth mobility, gingival recession, generalized bone loss and serious aesthetic and functional complaints. She reported embarrassment when smiling, eating difficulties and frequent episodes of gum infections. The diagnosis was clear: severe chronic periodontitis, uncontrolled for several years, which compromised the viability of the natural dentition.
Planning and Multidisciplinary Approach
After clinical examinations, radiographs and 3D tomography, the clinical decision was to completely extract the remaining teeth and place dental implants to support complete fixed dentures (upper and lower). The treatment was carefully planned in a digital environment, using guided surgery technology and intraoral scanning.
Treatment Stages
- Multiple tooth extractions performed under conscious sedation
- Placement of 4 upper and 4 lower implants
- Immediate provisional rehabilitation with fixed prostheses in immediate loading
- After bone healing (approximately 4-6 months), replacement with definitive fixed Metal-Acrylic prostheses
Final Result
The patient’s smile was completely restored, with exceptional functional and aesthetic results. The patient reported significant improvements in her self-esteem, social life and eating comfort. The natural appearance of the prosthetics and the stability guaranteed by the implants exceeded all her expectations.
Patient's Words
"I never thought I would smile with such confidence again. I spent years hiding my teeth and today I smile without fear. The LP CLINIC team was incredible at every stage of the process — I always felt safe and well supported."
Conclusion
This case is an example of how modern dentistry can restore quality of life to those who have lost hope. If you suffer from advanced gum problems or think that there is no solution for your smile, talk to us. At LP CLINIC, we are ready to transform your story.
