March Begins With A Pleasant Surprise! << Back

Two interesting cases of best dental implants from F.C Road, Shivajinagar and Nigdi Pradhikaran near Wakad in Pune

The month of March 2020 brought in two pleasant surprises in the first week. We saw our old patients – Sanjeev and Babloo for their yearly follow-ups who underwent one of the best dental implants in our clinics on F.C. Road, Shivajinagar and Nigdi Pradhikaran near Wakad in Pune. 

For any patient there can probably be nothing more psychologically shattering than the loss of a front tooth. 

We often see such patients who come in in an emergency situation after loosing one or more front teeth following a road accident or biting on something excessively hard and breaking a previously weak tooth. 

Ask any dentist – The most difficult job in dentistry is replacing a missing front tooth! 

Sanjeev lost a tooth (his central incisor) while playing cricket (August 2017), while Babloo was more unfortunate- he was involved in a motorcycle crash that left him without all his front teeth (June 2016).  Both patients presented different challenges.   

We got an excellent result after treating them. But what gave us great joy this March was to see them after 4 years also, looking just the way they were when we gave them their new teeth. 

Such beautiful long lasting results come through a combination of good technique, good materials (we used premier best dental implants in both the cases from F.C. Road, Shivajinagar and Nigdi Pradhikaran near Wakad in Pune, premium bone graft materials, and of course we used the best materials for making their artificial teeth). 

Here are their stories in very brief: 

Sanjeev : This is how he was when he showed up covering his mouth with a handkerchief in December 2017.

Sanjeev went through 3 surgeries to have the best dental implant placed where he was missing his tooth. 

We used Straumann Dental Implants https://www.straumann.com/group/en/patients.html 

These are premium implants, one of the most widely used dental implants across the world, with an unmatched pedigree of research behind them. 

Sanjeev received full ceramic crowns made of a material, which is acknowledged as the world leader in cosmetic materials – Emax crowns. This is a lithium disilicate based material and is known to have life like, long lasting esthetics.

This is how Sanjeev looked when he got his front tooth in January 2018.

It was a delight to see him in March 2020 with a smile on his face, looking exactly the same as he was when we fixed him up. He deserved to be complimented for maintaining hygiene and taking good care of his new tooth.

Babloo – Babloo was involved in an accident and lost his front teeth. This is how he entered our practice. He was not only missing his teeth, he was also missing his confidence.

From a technical standpoint he was also missing a lot of jawbone after his accident, so we had less foundation to put in his best dental implants. 

He underwent 2 surgeries 3 months apart in order to receive his dental implants. The front region of his mouth received artificial bone graft using a material called Bio – Oss.

Babloo received a premium brand of dental implants called Biohorizons tapered internal implants. https://www.biohorizons.com/Products/DentalImplants 

He received 4 fixed front teeth on these implants. The material for his teeth was one of the best-known, most popular material used for front teeth replacements on implants- Zirconia.  3M Lava Premium

Babloo was thrilled beyond words when we showed him his teeth in a mirror. He left us with a promise and a beautiful smile on his face – to maintain his teeth well (and also be a more careful driver !)

When we saw him again in March 2020, after 4 years, we were delighted to see the long-term stable results we achieved with this very complex situation.
