Lower and Upper Jaw Implants – The Smile Restoration Journey of Mr. Than The Dung (Vietnamese American)

Lower and Upper Jaw Implants can be a life-changing solution for patients struggling with loose removable dentures and jawbone loss. At the age of 40, Mr. Than The Dung, a Vietnamese American, endured years of difficulty eating and discomfort caused by unstable dentures. His decision to return to Vietnam for comprehensive implant treatment at Saigon Implant Dental marked a turning point — restoring not only his smile, but also his confidence and quality of life.

The Struggles of Living with Removable Dentures

Before discovering the implant solution, Mr. Dung spent years relying on traditional dentures. Losing most of his teeth before age 40 caused him to:

• Wear loose, unstable dentures that made eating uncomfortable
• Experience progressive jawbone resorption, affecting facial aesthetics
• Feel self-conscious in communication and experience a decline in overall health

He shared: “Wearing dentures made chewing very difficult, so I decided to return to Vietnam for implant treatment.”

This challenge is common among many overseas Vietnamese who return home for dental care, often because implant procedures abroad are extremely expensive.

The Decision to Return to Vietnam for Dental Implants

Referred by a friend who had previously been treated here, Mr. Dung visited Saigon Implant Dental for an evaluation. After CT scanning and assessing bone structure, our doctors designed an implant treatment plan that aligned with his short travel schedule in Vietnam.

• 01/10/2024: Returned to Vietnam to complete the final implant-supported ceramic restorations

After more than one year following the structured plan, Mr. Dung now has:

• A strong All-on-6 upper arch and All-on-5 lower arch
• No more jawbone loss — improved facial fullness
• Natural chewing function, without worries about loose dentures

He emotionally shared: “When I eat, I no longer feel any pain or discomfort. I want to thank the doctors for giving me back my smile and confidence.”
