All-on-4 Dental Implants: Restoring Functionality for a 65+ Patient from Amreli
Patient Background and Initial Concern
A 65+ year-old male patient from Amreli arrived at Dentafix Dental Clinic in South Bopal with a complete loss of teeth in his lower jaw—an edentulous condition that severely impacted his chewing ability. As a diabetic, he also experienced unstable blood sugar levels, which his diabetologist linked directly to his compromised oral function. The recommendation was clear: to regain effective chewing ability and stabilize his health, he needed fixed teeth solutions.
Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
Upon a detailed examination led by Dr. Jahnavi Patel, a resorbed ridge and reduced bone density were identified in the lower jaw. Using diagnostic imaging and clinical evaluation, Dr. Patel determined that an All-on-4 dental implants approach would provide optimal support and structure in the resorbed bone areas.
This innovative dental implants procedure involves the strategic placement of four implants to anchor a full-arch prosthesis, offering a secure and long-term solution for edentulous patients like him.
[Doctor Quote: “Even with a resorbed ridge, modern implantology allows us to restore full function and confidence. The All-on-4 system is a game-changer for patients with limited bone.”]

Outcome and Long-Term Outlook
Within weeks, the patient reported significant improvement in chewing efficiency. His blood sugar levels stabilized noticeably, which pleased both him and his diabetologist. With time, the implants osseointegrated well, and the final fixed prosthesis was placed, giving him durable and natural-looking teeth.
[Patient Quote: “For the first time in years, I can chew comfortably. It’s not just about eating—my overall health feels more stable. I’m grateful to Dr. Patel and the Dentafix team.”]
