Case Study 1

This patient came to us with severe oral health issues and deep frustration. Not only was he unhappy with the appearance of his smile, but he had also received discouraging news from several other practices. During previous consultations, he was told that removable “plates” were his only option. He had no idea that dental implants were a viable alternative. After visiting our office, he finally received a solution that restored both his smile and his confidence. Dr. Friedberg and our team performed a full implant procedure in a matter of hours. The result? A complete transformation—functional, aesthetic, and emotional. Thanks to our expertise and advanced technology, we helped this patient regain more than just his teeth—we helped him regain hope.

Lester struggled with upper dentures that constantly fell out and broke. This left him unable to eat or speak comfortably, which deeply affected his quality of life. As a result, he and his wife began avoiding social gatherings and time with loved ones. Fortunately, after receiving dental implants at our Houston office, everything changed. With modern materials and expert care, we restored not just Lester’s smile but also his ability to eat, speak, and live with confidence again.

Case Study 5

This patient came to us feeling unhappy about the appearance of her teeth. During her consultation, we discovered that gum recession had exposed the roots of her teeth, which made her feel self-conscious and caused sensitivity to cold food and drinks. To treat both the cosmetic and functional issues, Dr. Friedberg recommended the Pinhole Surgical Technique®. This minimally invasive procedure allowed us to restore her gum line without sutures or traditional grafting—giving her both relief and renewed confidence in her smile.

After a detailed consultation, Dr. Friedberg recommended a gum grafting procedure to restore both function and appearance. The results were transformative—she left our office thrilled with her new smile and renewed confidence.
