Pia of Oatley’s Dental Implant Makeover
Our patient from Oatley came to Pitt St Dental Centre with a significant dental concern. Pia, a loving and radiant stay-at-home mum, had lost four lower front teeth due to gum disease, which affected her ability to chew and smile.
Recognising the need to replace her missing teeth and restore her smile, Pia’s husband, who was aware of Dr Michael’s renowned expertise, referred her to the clinic.
During the initial consultation, Dr Michael conducted a thorough examination of her dental health. Understanding her wish to replace the missing teeth, he recommended a comprehensive treatment plan involving extractions, gum grafts, bone grafts, and dental implants. This approach would ensure a stable foundation for her new teeth and restore function and her smile.

The Result
Over the course of six months and five visits, Pia underwent the planned treatments. Each stage was carefully managed to ensure optimal healing and success. First, Dr Michael performed the necessary extractions and gum grafts, followed by bone grafts to prepare the jaw for the implants.
The dental implants were placed once the grafts had healed, providing a secure base for the new teeth. The final step involved fitting the custom-made crowns, which restored Pia’s ability to bite into her food and eat without discomfort. The results were functional and aesthetically pleasing, giving her a new, natural-looking smile.
Pia was extremely happy with the outcome. She expressed joy and satisfaction with her restored ability to bite and chew as well as the appearance of her new teeth. The treatment improved her dental health and significantly enhanced her overall well-being, leaving her delighted with her experience at Pitt St Dental Centre.
