Aarav Roy, a 72-year-old retired librarian...
Aarav Roy, a 72-year-old retired librarian with a history of well-managed diabetes, faced gradual tooth loss over many years, leaving him with only a few key teeth in his upper jaw. He relied on soft, often bland foods, which diminished his pleasure in eating and led to unintended weight loss. He felt a deep sense of aging and loss, withdrawing from community dinners he once loved. His new dentist, Dr. Murphy, conducted a comprehensive assessment. Given Aarav's age, medical history, and the strategic location of his remaining teeth, she recommended a cobalt-chrome removable partial denture (RPD). She emphasized its durability, stability, and hygiene advantages. Aarav was worried about complex care, but the team provided clear, patient instructions. The treatment involved precise metal framework fittings. After a short period of adjustment and sore spots being eased, the RPD became a part of his routine. The outcome was transformative. Aarav regained the ability to eat a varied, nutritious diet, celebrated with a family feast, and slowly started regaining weight. Emotionally, he felt re-engaged with life, his dignity restored, and his smile confident once more.
