Dental Implants for Mom – When Mom Eats Well, the Family Feels at Peace

As we grow older, true peace of mind often comes from simple things knowing that our parents can eat well, sleep well, and enjoy a healthy, happy life.Ms. Thu Ha (61) had lost two molars many years ago. Because these were essential chewing teeth, eating gradually became difficult. She struggled to break down food properly, and meals slowly turned into something she rushed through rather than enjoyed.Noticing that her mother no longer ate comfortably, Ms. My Dung (Midu) began searching for a long-term solution. After choosing dental implants at Platinum Dental, mother and daughter walked this journey together. Six months later, Ms. Thu Ha completed her treatment her molars were restored to feel strong, stable, and natural, just like real teeth.From the worry of “Mom can’t eat properly anymore” to the joy of seeing her chew comfortably again this is Midu’s heartfelt story of choosing dental implants for her mother.

From Love for Mom to Trust Built on Real Experience

Recalling the first moment she realized her mother had dental issues, Midu shared: “My mom lost two chewing teeth, so she could only chew on one side. There were times I wanted to take her out to a nice restaurant, but she couldn’t eat properly. It really broke my heart.”

Midu understood that missing teeth don’t just affect chewing they quietly impact quality of life, confidence, mood, and emotional well-being. She began researching modern dental implant solutions.Having previously undergone orthodontic treatment herself at Platinum Dental with excellent results, the clinic was the first place she thought of when her mother needed care. She brought her mother in to see Dr. Duong Minh Tung (MSc, DDS) an oral and maxillofacial surgeon with nearly 20 years of experience in dental implant surgery.

“Chị cũng tìm hiểu kỹ dịch vụ cấy ghép Implant tại Platinum Dental, thì chị thấy tin tưởng để cho mẹ mình thực hiện” — *“I researched Platinum Dental’s implant services very carefully, and that’s why I felt confident choosing this clinic for my mom,” Midu shared.*

A Carefully Planned, Gentle Implant Treatment

After a thorough clinical examination including advanced 3D Cone Beam CT imaging and digital intraoral scans Dr. Tung developed a personalized treatment plan to restore Ms. Thu Ha’s two missing molars using single-tooth implants, focusing on safety, comfort, and optimal healing.Because her jawbone had resorbed over time due to long-term tooth loss, the treatment included:

Bone grafting to rebuild lost bone
Placement of two dental implants in the lower jaw
Immediate temporary teeth after implant placement
Final fixed porcelain crowns after four months, once the implants fully integrated with the bone

A Gentle Experience That Removed the Fear of “Complex” Treatment

Sharing her feelings after completing treatment, Ms. Thu Ha said: “At first, I was worried. But when Dr. Tung placed the implants, I didn’t feel pain at all. That made me feel very reassured. Now I can chew comfortably again, and I’m really happy. Before the treatment, I was much more anxious than I needed to be.”To address common concerns many patients have before implant treatment such as pain, safety, and possible complications Platinum Dental focuses on two core principles: strong clinical expertise and advanced digital technology.

Implant treatment at Platinum Dental includes:

A standardized implant protocol performed by specialists with nearly 20 years of implant experience
Comprehensive digital technology, including:
- CBCT imaging for detailed jawbone assessment
- iTero 5D scanning for precise, comfortable impressions (no gagging)
- 3D facial scanning (Face Scan)
- Dynamic navigation implant system, ensuring accurate implant placement while avoiding critical anatomical structures such as nerves and sinuses
- High-precision 3D implant scanning for optimal restorations
DIO implants with UV surface activation, enhancing cleanliness and promoting faster bone integration
Immediate temporary teeth within 2–3 hours after surgery, so patients are never left without teeth
Final fixed restorations designed for proper bite alignment, durability, and natural chewing comfort

Thanks to this approach, implant surgery is precise, gentle, and efficient, resulting in minimal discomfort, reduced swelling, faster recovery, and long-lasting results. Ms. Thu Ha’s procedure was completed smoothly in under an hour, with temporary teeth placed shortly after ensuring she never experienced tooth gaps.
