Losing many teeth and severely damaged porcelain bridges causing chronic infections are not only physical pain but also a barrier to enjoying life in old age. For Mr. Cao Huu Hanh - an overseas Vietnamese in Russia, the journey to regain the ability to eat and chew was a special trip, traveling thousands of kilometers to put full trust in the country's dental industry.

When "eating well" becomes a torture

Settled in Russia for many years, despite having access to advanced healthcare, Mr. Cao Huu Hanh still had difficulty finding a dental restoration solution that suited his condition and personal wishes. Returning to Vietnam with seriously degraded oral health, Mr. Hanh came to Lac Viet Intech Ho Chi Minh City in a worried state:

  • The upper porcelain bridge was seriously damaged: The long ceramic bridge system was worn, discolored, exposed black edges that were unsightly and caused chronic gingivitis and swelling.

  • Extensive tooth loss & Bone loss: He lost many molars and incisors. Leaving the missing tooth space empty for too long leads to the jaw bone being deeply destroyed and the gums clearly receding.

  • Health consequences: A misaligned bite and large cavities make chewing painful. At the age of 60, his health declined significantly because he could not eat well.

    "In Russia, the conditions are good, but I always want to return to Vietnam for treatment to feel secure. Partly because I see that our country's dentistry is very modern now, not inferior to international ones" - Mr. Hanh shared.

Uncle Hanh's condition before dental implants, the consecutive loss of many teeth and bone loss caused his face to deform and shift to one side

Just like many others. Another overseas Vietnamese, Mr. Hanh began his journey to find a reputable dentist via the internet. After a long time of carefully watching videos sharing professional knowledge on Lac Viet Intech Dental's YouTube channel, he was convinced by its transparency and professionalism.

As soon as he returned home, he made an appointment directly with Doctor Nguyen Van Luyen at Lac Viet Intech facility in Ho Chi Minh City. Here, he received a Cone Beam 3D CT scan, a comprehensive screening, and an accurate survey of jaw bone density to create an implant plan.

Treatment plan Eliminate inflammation, build a strong tooth root

Determining that this is a complicated clinical case due to chronic infection from the old dental bridge, Dr. Luyen has proposed a 2-phase treatment plan:

  • Phase 1: Remove the damaged dental bridge, thoroughly treat the condition. gingivitis, inflammation and dental diseases to create an absolutely sterile environment.

  • Phase 2: Proceed with dental implants to replace missing teeth. With the support of technology, the implant process takes place quickly, minimizes swelling and pain, and is suitable for the physical condition of a person at the age of 60.

Perfect results after 3 months of dental implants with Lac Viet Intech

After more than 3 months accompanying Lac Viet Intech, Mr. Hanh officially owns strong teeth. The results completely removed the initial worries of the overseas Vietnamese:

✅ The ability to chew food was revived: He was able to eat hard, chewy foods, his health improved significantly, his skin became more rosy.

✅ Comprehensive aesthetic: A new confident smile, naturally white porcelain teeth, no traces of black edges or red swelling.

✅ Gentle experience:"Dental implants were faster for me." I thought, and it's really not as painful as I imagined. Doctor Viet is so good!"– Mr. Hanh happily shared.

Not only are his new teeth beautiful, his face is also fuller, more balanced and more vibrant
Hanh's case is the clearest proof of: Don't wait too long to lose your teeth before going for treatment. Tooth loss is not simply a gap in the jaw, but is the beginning of a chain of consequences: bone loss, bite misalignment and serious health deterioration due to inability to chew. Early tooth implantation is the best way to protect your health and improve your quality of life.
