Posted on March, 31 2023 by George Talmazov, DDS, MSDRestoring Multiple Old Dental Implants That Had Either Fractured or Failed
As a vibrant 87-year-old from Potomac, Maryland, wanting to improve his smile, Mr. T came to Elite Prosthetic Dentistry with multiple old dental implants that were either fractured or failing, which caused his original prosthesis to break.
In addition, the patient’s lower teeth had fractured and his bite was severely closed, which impacted the appearance of his smile. In order to restore his mouth to complete function, we had to locate parts that would fit the old dental implants, extract the failed ones, and replace them with several new ones.
Once the process was complete, Mr. T’s smile was restored to complete function and his appearance was dramatically improved. He now travels to Florida every winter with complete confidence in his smile.
In addition to being a very talented Prosthodontist in Washington DC and the Bethesda and Chevy Chase area in Maryland, Dr. George Talmazov has extensive expertise with advanced digital dentistry. He has developed software for the fabrication of oral appliances used in prosthodontic therapy. His focus in the area of digital restorative dentistry at Elite Prosthetic Dentistry aids in providing predictable and accurate treatment for patients, combining modern technology with our in-office hand-craftsmanship.
