Susan Culpepper before completion of her posterior tooth implant reconstruction makeover. She wanted here bite to be stronger and more balanced. Not only did she have significant dental problems but she was also a self-professed dental phobic.

Now Susan has completed her treatment and is happy that she can chew well. She is even more pleased that she overcame her fear of dentistry with the miracle of Sedation Dentistry. See her testimonial about her marvelous experience as she got her teeth fixed.

The missing teeth in the lower arch are what needed replacing on the right side

Her  new dental implants are a strong foundation for her new crowns.

The lovely smile makes a statement of confidence, drama and elegance.

Once the non-salvageable teeth were removed, dental implants were placed and later, crowns were placed to reconstruct the bite.

Pretreatment look at the lower arch showing the extent of the missing teeth. The best thing Susan had going was that the available bone for dental implants was excellent. As time goes by, bone deteriorates and thins to the point where dental implants cannot be placed without additional bone augmentation.

The lower teeth after reconstruction were strong, durable and much more attractive. Once dental implants are placed, the deterioration of bone is generally halted. Therefore, dental implants save bone and prevent acceleration of old age.

Her upper posterior teeth needed one implant and several crowns also. The upper front teeth were judged to be in good shape and attractive.

We completed the dental reconstruction for Susan using two main appointments and two minor appointments. Sedation dentistry allowed her to breeze through her longer, well-planned appointments.

Before Treatment...not the happy dental patient. Dental phobia kept her from attending to routine dental needs until the point that they became severe. Many people find themselves in this same situation.

After Treatment...completely relaxed and not fearful about dental procedures any longer!
