AN INTERVIEW
WITH A HAPPY IMPLANT PATIENT

(The following is a recent interview between Dr. Wilson and one of his patients. ‘Cy’ was having problems with his lower denture and had lower implants placed. He has had his implants for about 2 years now.)

Dr. W: "Tell us about the problems you were having with your lower denture."

Cy: "My lower dentures were quite a problem. In fact I was not able to chew my food properly. They slipped a lot and that would get me really mad! After the third set of dentures, I then decided that something else had to be done. And reading the articles on the implants was when I decided to talk with you and see what kind of arrangements we could come up with."

Dr. W: "Do you mean the articles in the newsletter?"

Cy: "The articles in the newsletter and also the article that I have seen on the paper and also from conversations with people that were involved with implants."

Dr. W: "Well tell us, Cy, if your implants helped your lower denture problem."
Cy:
"Oh absolutely, since I’ve had the implants I have no more problems with the lower denture getting out of place or with chewing my food."

Dr. W: "What do you like most about your implant?"

Cy: I would have to say just having the lower dentures stay in place is what I was astonished with."

Dr. W: "Was it painful having the implant placed?"

Cy: "There was no pain involved when the implants were placed. It was a matter of something like 20 minutes and both implants were in.

Dr. W: "Tell me Cy, is it hard to maintain the implants and keep them clean?"

Cy: "Maintaining the implants is no harder than actually brushing your teeth if you had your own teeth."

Dr. W: "Is there anything you don’t like about your implants?

Cy: "Off hand, I really have nothing bad to say about the implants."

Dr. W: "Were your implants worth what you had to pay for them?"

Cy: "I would say it was well worth the money."

Dr. W: "Cy, thank you so much for your comments. I hope what you had to say will convince someone else to have implants done."

Cy: "If it does, it will be well worth it."
