Implant case once again. I really do love putting a smile on my patients faces. .cvg definitely makes my top 🔝 10 favorite patients list
This is Cristel and she’s on her journey to becoming a pediatric dentist. 🤛🏼👩🏼🔬
Cristel initially came to me to replace a missing tooth 🦷. It wasn’t an easy case to say the least. Imagine a young pretty patient who is a future dentist with a paper thin maxilla 😱. Yes it needed to be perfect.
I initially grafted the ridge and while in recovery room she got so upset at me, to a point of tears. To be honest i wondered what was wrong but then found out that she wanted to have her surgery live on Instagram. Even though we trained in the same place I’m no 🤣
Well now we’re here. Bone healed well and we were able to get in an implant with of course palatal roll soft tissue graft and immediate temp crown.
Can’t wait to have the braces off and go to a permanent restoration.
Esthetic implant but also head and neck surgeon 👨🏻⚕️ 🤪 My residents ask me if I get bored doing dentoalveolar surgery, especially in the OR during head and neck cases, when they’re in awe. As awesome as it is to do neck dissections and parotidectomies at the same time curing cancer, putting a smile on Cristels face couldn’t make me happier.
Just as an experiment go follow her at .cvg and check out all the cool pics she has. Now stay tuned for the one with a smile 😀
