Below we have included a small set of examples from our own patient base, showing how dental
implants have successfully replaced missing teeth. To learn more about the benefits of dental
implants click here.
Case #1
BB had an existing upper right bridge that was lost due to decay.
Dilemma: Make a new longer span bridge which involves cutting down a healthy
tooth, or two dental implants.
Solution: After hearing the advantages and disadvantages of each treatment option,
BB chose to have two dental implants.
BB said in a letter to Dr. Fong " …I had two implants by Dr. Randy Fong. They were a great success! I love my implants.
They match my other teeth perfectly. It was painless. Dr. Fong did a great job. I hope I don't
need any more, but if I do, I would have Dr. Fong do it"
Case #2
CC had an existing lower removable partial denture that was ill-fitting and uncomfortable.
Food getting underneath the partial denture was a constant problem.
Dilemma: CC knew she wanted dental implants but was afraid of having the
procedure done
Solution: Dental implant treatment with sedation.
CC was pleasantly surprised at how easily and comfortably the procedure went.
Case #3
CC did not like the empty spaces that showed when she smiles and she wanted to be
able to chew better.
Solution: Knowing the inherent problems with partial dentures, CC chose to have three
dental implants.
Case #4
CW had a lower partial denture and was going to lose her remaining lower front teeth
due to a gum problem and decay.
Dilemma: Replace lower teeth with a full lower denture or an implant-supported lower
denture.
Solution: After learning about the inherent stability problems with a full lower denture,
CW chose to have an implant –supported lower denture.
Case #5
DH fractured his upper left central incisor. The tooth could not be saved and had to
be extracted.
Dilemma: Replace tooth with a bridge which involves cutting down two healthy teeth
or a bone graft and a dental implant.
Solution: CW chose to have a bone graft and a dental implant with sedation.
Case #6
LR had existing upper and lower partial dentures. She could not eat with them and
she felt she looked much older than she was with the partial dentures.
Treatment: Sinus graft and three implants on the upper right and left. Five implants
and an implant-retained fixed bridge for the lower.
LR is extremely happy with her new teeth and she can eat anything she wants again.
But most of all, she loves the way she looks…
