Painful dental implants? an old man's experience (Indian patient testimo...



My name is D.Kuppusami & I am 84yr old. I lost 3-4 of my front teeth & also 4 of my back teeth. So it was very difficult to eat & manage. So I thought of fixing new teeth, but many told me that you are 84 yrs old why do you want new teeth now. But I struggled a lot without teeth so I wanted to fix my teeth.
So I searched about fixing new teeth then I came to know about this new technique of teeth replacement called “DENTAL IMPLANTS” in which they fix a screw kind of thing in our mouth then they fix new teeth. But I was little scared when I heard they will drill & fix a screw inside my mouth.
I even thought of leaving my teeth without fixing it. Then they told it’s a permanent treatment for life time.
Then I met Dr.Murugavel & told him that I need to replace my teeth but I’m pretty scared. But he ensured that there is nothing to be worried about & he will do the treatment without any pain.
He told if we give a small injection there won’t be any pain at all.
What can go wrong in this? I decided to go for it. Fine day I fixed an appointment. He (Dr.Murugavel) examined my mouth & gave a small injection, I felt nothing but a slight pinch.
They fixed the implants where ever it was needed. I felt no pain at all. His team of doctors helped him with the procedure. I was fully conscious but I never felt any pain. They quickly fixed four to five implants in my mouth. Then they applied some medicine & told me to rinse my mouth. After that they prescribed some medications. I asked them what to eat? They told there are no food restrictions, you can have your normal diet, but insisted to avoid eating hard foods.
I came home & had a soft diet. They asked me to come after two days. They also took an impression to make new teeth.
They fixed new teeth in those implants, it looked so natural. This procedure took very less time than the implant procedure.
After fixing it they showed me in a mirror it looked so good & it changed my over look.
The importance of having healthy teeth is always insisted in olden days, I remember a Tamil proverb “chew & eat to live long”, it’s very important to take care of our teeth.
I even feel young now. You can spot the difference if you have seen me before. Without teeth my lips & cheeks went inside it looked awful before. But now it gave me new look & it changed my life.
I told to my friends about this treatment. I even suggested one post master to go for this treatment.
My friend was amazed hearing about this treatment & he came forward to go for this treatment. I told all my friends that this treatment is available in Chennai (India) they are doing a great job. I suggested my friends for this treatment & gave them the address. I told them go to Dr.Murugavel’s “Best dental clinic” which is in Valasaravakkam where the best care is given. Many of my friends came to Best dental clinic” & got their new teeth fixed.
First it looks ugly without teeth & also it creates lot of stomach problems when the food is not chewed properly for which you spend a lot for medical bills.
Not only that, our cheek & tongue gets hurt by the remaining teeth. Now I don’t have those problems I feel it’s a good treatment that I have undergone. I thank all the doctors here & specially Dr.Murugavel for everything.
