Rafał has always been the life and soul of the party. He loved to laugh and gladly entertained others. Unfortunately, an unfortunate accident completely changed his life, and virtually overnight he stopped smiling. Taking part in Smile Makeovers with Malo Clinic was his last chance. Rafał and his wife are raising two children, leading a peaceful life. They lack for nothing – except for Rafał's smile. An unfortunate accident changed not only his life, but that of his entire family.
Dad rarely smiles, he's ashamed of his smile. – his daughter, Wiktoria, admits sadly.
Treatment of edentulism The accident occurred while Rafał was working on a construction site. During a task he had carried out many times before, a heavy wooden plank struck him directly in the upper jaw so hard that he lost consciousness. After visiting the hospital, he already knew the accident wouldn't end well. The doctors immediately told him that although he hadn't lost his teeth straight away, the roots had been severely damaged and, over time, the teeth would simply start to fall out. And that is exactly what happened. At first, Rafał tried to save them, but subsequent visits to the dentist brought no results. He lost almost all the teeth in his upper jaw. From a man who was the life and soul of the party, he became a recluse and stopped smiling. His entire family felt it, having to watch him suffer. Rafał was ashamed of his teeth, or rather, the lack of them. Looking for work, meeting new people, and making contacts – all of this was extremely stressful for him. He felt that everyone was judging and pigeonholing him, attributing the worst traits to him. He lost his zest for life. The procedure at Malo Clinic When Rafał arrived at Malo Clinic on the day of the procedure, he was excited and nervous. Fortunately, just as with all our patients, the calm and smile of Dr Anna Grabowska worked on him like a charm. He slept through almost the entire procedure. In the upper arch, due to multiple missing teeth, the Malo Clinic Protocol procedure was performed using the All‑on‑4® technique. This is an innovative rehabilitation concept that allows edentulous patients to obtain new, permanent teeth in a single day and without bone grafting, looking and functioning just like natural teeth. The first, surgical stage of the procedure was performed by Dr Anna Grabowska; the procedure involved the precise placement of four implants designed so that they can be used even in patients with significant bone loss. The 4 implants serve as support for a prosthetic bridge. Next, the prosthetic part of the procedure was handled by Dr Izabela Rajca. The prosthetic stage involved the fabrication of a Malo Clinic Bridge™, which was permanently screwed onto the implants a few hours after the procedure, preventing it from falling out or shifting; the bridge allows the Patient full functionality from day one. In the lower arch, the Patient was missing premolars on both sides. The surgical team decided to restore them with single implants, and our prosthodontist Izabela Rajca ensured a natural appearance for the whole restoration by carrying out composite bonding. Thanks to the comprehensive approach and advanced solutions, Rafał now enjoys not only a beautiful smile, but also his self-confidence. Outside the surgery, his impatient family was waiting for him. They couldn't wait to see him – after all, they had been waiting so long for his smile! There was no end to the joy.
I won the lottery. – said Rafał afterwards.
