There are many factors that go into living a quality and enjoyable life; achieving all your dreams and goals; or simply feeling great. One of them is a healthy and beautiful smile, which opens up avenues of communication and gives you the strength to achieve even the most difficult goals. However, not everything always goes the way we would like it to – all sorts of things happen, resulting in lost or poor-quality teeth. This is what happened to Maris: there was a time when he was happy with his strong and good-looking teeth and never thought that he would ever have to open the door of a dental clinic, not for a preventive check-up, but to find and implement the best solution for restoring his teeth. The sudden onset of the disease led to many different consequences, one of which was the loss of almost all the teeth in her upper jaw. In addition to having to start treatment and change his daily routine because of the disease, Marius also had to make a very serious decision – to decide how to proceed: to continue living with the significantly altered condition of his teeth, to accept the partial loss of his teeth; to face the daily discomfort of eating and socialising; or to opt for a 21st century dental solution to lead a fulfilling life.
Today, the man says that although he knew the answer to this question from the start (that it was worth going to a specialist for dental restoration), he still delayed for a long time to turn his ideas into reality, because he had to face various challenges. The unanswered questions about the most suitable method of restoring teeth; the lack of information; not knowing which clinic to choose; the costs involved, etc., painted in his mind some not very pleasant scenarios.
Marius even thought that his dental condition was so desperate that, even with dental solutions, he could no longer expect the highest aesthetic expression and maximum comfort when eating, drinking or socialising. The cost of the service was also in doubt: the man repeatedly thought that it might be so high that he would have to give up the idea of restoring his smile altogether.
But that’s usually the case: change doesn’t happen until we give it the green light ourselves. After much deliberation and reflection, Marius took concrete action: after using the internet and evaluating the content on the Papadent website, he thought he might have found what he was looking for: a wide range of modern dental services, convenient opening hours and reasonable prices. So he needed to go one step further and visit the clinic for a first consultation.
And, obviously, there was no need to be disappointed – already during the first visit, the condition of the teeth was assessed and the most suitable solution was proposed. Although the doctors at Papadent can implement a variety of solutions to restore a smile (aesthetic fillings, dental implants, prosthetics, etc.), none of them was as ideal as the All-on-4 method. It is an innovative solution that allows the restoration of the entire jaw on just 4 implants.
As Marius says today, the procedure really exceeded his expectations. All he expected was an attractive smile and comfort when eating and communicating. But the man certainly didn’t think that all this could be achieved in just one day.
The news he heard during the first consultation (that the long healing period would be avoided; that time and money would be saved; that the restored teeth would not only look attractive but also natural, and that the maintenance would be easy) pleasantly surprised him, but perhaps the most positive emotions are experienced now, when every day one can actually appreciate the benefits of the procedure and watch with a smile how they are transforming lives. And now Algirdas’ life is certainly not lacking in changes: he can once again enjoy a wide variety of foods, socialise, smile freely and, most importantly, enjoy his perfect and natural-looking teeth, without worrying about them falling out, shifting position or causing discomfort. The care of his restored smile does not require any more of Algirdas’ time than it used to take to care for his own teeth, and the care process itself has become a natural, uncomfortable part of his daily routine. Another change that the patient is particularly happy about is the change in appearance. The implantation has prevented jawbone numbness and even changed the facial features. The man says that some of his friends and colleagues think that it was not only the dental implantation but also the rejuvenation treatments that made him look at least 10 years younger than before the treatment. This only boosts his self-confidence and, of course, makes him smile even more often.
Algirdas is grateful to the Papadent team for the detailed information about the possible methods of smile restoration; the professional assessment of the situation; the choice of the best option and its quality implementation; and the helpful advice and recommendations. The clinic’s attractive opening hours, which made it particularly convenient to schedule appointments, and the cosy environment were also very pleasing.
Many people think that one day does not mean much – it is common to think that one cannot overcome serious challenges in 24 hours, especially ones that would take decades to produce positive results. Algirdas used to think so too, until his smile was restored using this method. Today, as a former Papadent patient, he has not only seen how much life can be changed and the quality of his life improved in just 24 hours, but he also recommends this method of restoring teeth to those who want minimum time and maximum results.
Papadent Clinic’s head dentist, Tomas Stumbrys, points out that this procedure has many great advantages, but perhaps the most important is the ability to restore a smile extremely quickly, in just one day. This brings even more advantages to the solution. First of all, there is no longer a phase where the wrong teeth are removed and the healing process continues for about 2 months. Since this period is simply eliminated from the healing process, the patient can not only save his precious time and experience much less discomfort, but also enjoy almost half the costs compared to other methods of restoring teeth.
Algirdas certainly didn’t have to wait long to appreciate all the benefits of this choice. During the initial consultation, after deciding that the smile would be restored using the All-on-4 method, a second appointment was scheduled. On the day of the appointment, all the teeth in poor condition were removed and the 4 implants were placed immediately. The fixed, attractive-looking denture, which guarantees comfort, was fitted and enabled the patient to chew well or just smile more broadly on the same day, after realising that all the inconveniences caused by the lack of teeth could be simply forgotten. However, these were not the only reasons that made the patient happy: being an active person, Algirdas was even happier when he realised that the procedure would not force him to give up his normal work routine. He returned to work the next day and recommends Papadent Dental Clinic to all those who want not only the highest quality of service, but also attentive service and optimum service times.
Before making his final decision, the man was also hesitant about another important aspect: whether his new smile would look natural, like his own teeth, or whether there would be certain factors (tooth shape, colour, size, etc.) that would remind him every day of the existence of false teeth. Today, Algirdas knows the answer to this question for sure and can share it with you: the innovative All-on-4 method ensures that the restored teeth will look as natural as your own. And this applies not only to the colour of the teeth, but also to other parameters such as shape, size and
t.t.
He describes himself as a man who prefers to make wise and long-term investments, and he particularly welcomed the news that the teeth restored using this method will last a lifetime if properly and regularly cared for.
Algirdas acknowledged that busy schedules and work that constantly catches up with each other often leave no time to focus on what is really important. Smile restoration was no exception – during the first consultation, the man had many questions, some of which were related to the care of the restored teeth. Are they cared for differently from his own teeth? Is the maintenance time-consuming? What kind of tools will be needed? These and other questions were answered in detail; and after the procedure, recommendations and advice were given. The patient was really pleased with the answers that the care of teeth restored using this method is not complicated, does not require a lot of time and simply becomes part of the routine. The smile will require a well-chosen toothbrush; a low-abrasive toothpaste; hygienic interdental floss and mouthwash; and regular visits to the specialists 2 times a year.
