Patient Background

Alix Moore, a 55-year-old entrepreneur from the United States, first visited Dental Creations in 2015 while traveling to India. A Google search led her to the Matunga-based clinic, where she sought a long-term solution for her oral health concerns. What began as a one-time dental visit evolved into a decade-long journey marked by precision care, mutual trust, and consistent follow-ups.

“Alix wasn’t just looking for dental treatment—she was seeking continuity, comfort, and clarity at every step,”

shared Dr. Amol Pradhan.

Treatment Plan and Post-Surgery Guidelines

Phase 1: 2015 – Initial Functional Restoration

Alix’s first treatment phase involved extracting decayed molars and placing implants to reestablish posterior bite support. High-quality American and European implant systems were selected for durability and biocompatibility. Crowns were placed on the implants to restore full chewing efficiency.

Phase 2: 2018 – Aesthetic Enhancement

With the oral function restored, the focus shifted to smile aesthetics. Alix underwent minimal-prep porcelain veneers placement on her upper anterior teeth. An additional implant was placed to replace a decayed tooth.

Phase 3: 2025 – Final Smile Completion

Returning in 2025, Alix opted for veneers on her lower teeth to improve her smile aesthetics. Additionally, an old implant crown was upgraded using the latest zirconia crown technology for superior aesthetics and durability.

Post-Surgery Guidelines

Immediate post-op care included a soft diet and antimicrobial rinses

Nightguard recommended after veneers to prevent parafunctional wear

Customized oral hygiene regimen with a soft-bristle brush and floss threader

Bi-annual follow-ups for scaling, polishing, and monitoring implant stability

“Our priority across each phase was ensuring every new addition fit seamlessly with past work—clinically and aesthetically,”

said Dr. Sunita Pradhan.

Outcome

Full chewing function restored through strategically placed implants

Natural-looking veneers harmonizing upper and lower arches

Improved speech clarity and confidence

Seamless integration of old and new prosthetic work over 10 years

“I can’t believe this smile is mine. It’s been a journey of complete transformation, and I felt supported throughout,”

Alix remarked.

Long-Term Expectation

Thanks to structured maintenance, quality materials, and meticulous placement, Alix’s dental restorations are expected to remain stable for over 15 years. Annual visits to Dental Creations or coordinated care with a local provider will help maintain function and appearance for decades to come.
