Dental implants in a patient with low bone density at LBR Dental

Treatment: Dental implant - Nobel Biocare
Provider: LBR Dental & Implant Center
Date: Mar 2017

Following treatment for throat cancer and the resultant difficulties with bone density, New Zealand patient John Cassie's  search for a dental clinic with the necessary expertise to perform total upper and lower jaw implants ended at LBR Dental in Hyderabad, India.

"I am a retired Medical Laboratory Scientist from New Zealand. A number of years ago I had all my teeth removed. I decided to have total upper and lower jaws implanted. I have 2 years previously had throat cancer treated with chemotherapy and high dose X-rays. So I new about the possible difficulties of Bone density and thickness. I proceeded to look at the World wide availability of clinics that could and would perform a procedure that would be ideal for my situation. Identical clinics from all corners of the Planet contacted me with procedures material used and of course cost. I decided on looking at these three above options to look forward into LBR DENTAL AND IMPLANT CENTRE after communicating with Dr Reddy I decided to come to India for the procedure. My son and I have been to a number of places in I India before coming to Hyderabad for the procedure. The procedure as stated took three days. My son and I have been doing the tourist thing during the procedure. Pain for me was not an option and I continued as per usual. The staff and service from LBR has been excellent. Aseptic techniques and procedures were followed well.(Laboratory experience allows me I think to comment on this). Prophylactic antibiotics and pain relief was part of the procedure. A few days post procedure all is well and we are to Goa for a little holiday before my last check up. At this stage I am happy to recommend Dr Reddy and his team to any person looking for implants. Long term I can not state, because for me I am just post procedure. PS my over 30 year old son has been treated like a King by all staff while I underwent the procedure."
