Vivaan Bhatia, 68, is a retired history professor who loves reading and telling stories to his grandchildren. Years of neglecting dental care due to a fear of dentists, combined with age-related wear, left him with several missing and severely decayed teeth. He struggled to eat his favorite foods like apples and nuts, avoided social gatherings due to embarrassment about his smile, and had begun to slur his words slightly. His daughter finally convinced him to see Dr. Sharma, who, after a comprehensive exam and X-rays, recommended full upper and lower dentures as the most practical and restorative solution. Vivaan was terrified, but the dental team was exceptionally patient, using sedation to ensure his comfort during the extractions and impressions. The immediate dentures placed right after surgery were awkward, but adjustments over the following weeks made them manageable. After six months, he received his beautiful, permanent set. The emotional journey was profound. Before, Vivaan felt old, defeated, and isolated, hiding his mouth with his hand. After the final fitting, he regained his confidence. He can eat a proper meal again, his speech is clear, and he smiles broadly in photos with his grandkids, feeling like his vibrant, storytelling self has returned.
