A few months ago, a patient attended Dr. Abdah’s clinic for an extraction of an un-savable tooth.  Last week the same patient came in to have an implant placed in the lower right area of her mouth.  It is usual that before the procedure begins the patient will always have some last minute thoughts and questions.  The patient had remarked that this was the only space in her mouth and why was it so important for an implant to be placed?  Dr. Abdah showed the patient an X Ray of her mouth showing that an opposing tooth will potentially  grow until it bites against another.  He then showed the patient some models of a mouth that had had various extractions in the past and once placed together, they clearly showed that there was no space for any Bridge works or Implants.  For future reasons to place an implant in any space is crusial to maintain the biting space in the mouth.  It is a usual occurrence for a patient to get last minute nerves as they have always had a consultation and all the information, so the decision is already made.  The patient was happy with the advice and continued to have the Implant done, after the procedure the patient said to Dr. Abdah that she has last minute nerves but is relieved that she had the treatment.  The next visit will be in six months time.
