The Change of Maria Celeste Lima – Implants

Maria Celeste is a 28-year-old young woman, very cheerful, and with a great desire to smile again.

Due to the loss of teeth in her upper arch, Maria Celeste had been using a removable prosthesis for several years. In addition to the prosthesis being unaesthetic, it was no longer well-adapted, which negatively affected her both functionally and socially.

After proper study and planning of the case, the team at Clínica Zenha outlined the treatment plan to follow.

With a good bone structure to support implants, the medical team opted for a complete implant-supported rehabilitation (teeth in a day), as most of the teeth had already been lost and the remaining ones were compromised. All the necessary pre-surgical steps, such as oral hygiene and corresponding hygiene instructions, were carried out. An intensive in-office teeth whitening was also done on the lower teeth to correct the color and make them whiter.

When Maria Celeste saw herself in the mirror for the first time with her new teeth, the Clínica Zenha team felt her gratitude and happiness. We knew that by rehabilitating her smile, we were giving her the opportunity to smile again without fear.
