Portage Dental Implants – John’s Story
As an experienced implant dentist in Portage, MI, West Wind Dental recently worked with John, a patient with several missing teeth. Before deciding to have dental implants, John’s oral health affected his smile, his comfort, and his self-confidence. As a general contractor, it even affected his ability to sell jobs and, ultimately, the success of his business.
John came to us with the hope of developing a personalized treatment plan to address his tooth loss, significantly enhance his smile, and improve his long-term oral health. From the start, our team knew that this was an opportunity to perform a life-changing procedure.
Before Dental Implants
Prior to choosing dental implants, many of John’s natural teeth were missing, with multiple teeth lost to gum disease and other related factors. He needed a long-term solution to address his missing teeth, one that would help to improve his oral and overall health.
During the Dental Implant Procedure
We knew that John was a good candidate for All-on-4 implants, so our team worked to design a bright, healthy smile for John. During our comprehensive examination, we took x-rays, surveyed the damage, and created an upper arch that restored the natural appearance of his teeth.
After Dental Implant Placement
With the dental implant procedure completed, John is now free to eat his favorite foods. He feels more comfortable talking to his customers. And, most importantly, he’s eager to smile again. After his initial healing period and with regular check-ups, John’s improved oral health will surely have a positive impact on his quality of life.
