Mr. Narayan Mukharjee: Restoring the Joy of Eating at 79
Patient Overview:
Mr. Narayan Mukharjee, a senior citizen, visited us with a concern that had gradually affected his everyday life. His old dentures had become loose and unstable, making chewing uncomfortable. Over time, he started avoiding foods that were difficult to chew, affecting the simple joy of enjoying his meals.
For Mr. Mukharjee, the problem was not only about missing teeth or replacing dentures. He wanted a more stable solution that would help him eat comfortably and improve his quality of life.
Dr. Gul Zehra began with a detailed evaluation of his existing teeth, dentures, gums, and overall oral health. Considering his age and needs, the treatment was carefully planned with a focus on comfort, function, and long-term stability, rather than simply providing another removable denture.
After the assessment, a full-mouth rehabilitation plan was created. Teeth that could be preserved were restored to support his bite and chewing function, while missing or non-restorable teeth were replaced using dental implants across the upper and lower arches.
After completing the treatment, Mr. Mukharjee was delighted to share that, “The foods I had been avoiding for years, I can finally chew again.” His journey shows that age alone is not a limitation for restoring dental function. With proper planning, restorative and implant treatments can help patients regain comfort, confidence, and the ability to enjoy daily life again.
