My Full Mouth Restoration Experience with Dr.Irfan Ali Motiwala, Hyderabad. I had known for a long time that I needed major dental treatment, so I have reasonable chewing capability, and less importantly, for cosmetic reasons. It is well known that the treatment for full mouth restoration for implant-supported permanent teeth is. It is only prohibitively costly—up to $50,000—and, more significantly, very time-consuming and may take up to 1 year or more, depending on the need for bone grafting and maybe a sinus lift. So when my extensive research led me to the basal implant technology extensively practiced by Dr. Motiwala and, to be fair, by many other dental implantalogists predominantly in India, which enables immediate placement of permanent teeth in implants within a matter of days, I couldn’t believe it at first. Further independent research, a review of case studies well documented on the doctor’s very informative website, and talking directly with a couple of his previous patients who successfully got full mouth restoration with implant-supported permanent teeth in just around 10 days gave me enough confidence to pursue this solution more seriously. This was in sharp contrast with the very expensive and time-consuming traditional methods practiced in the USA by three different reputed implantologists. When I specifically brought up basal implants, a couple of them suggested they were not aware, and one said rightly that the American Dental Association does not approve of this technology and may even be banned in the USA.
So, I had to take a leap of faith and consult with Dr. Motiwala in person by visiting India. Before that, I had a telephonic consultation after he had a chance to review my detailed X-rays. A couple of days after we landed in India, accompanied by my wife, my brother, and his wife, we had an in-person consultation for detailed discussion. Dr. Motiwala, whom we met, turned out to be the gentle expert that we had assessed him to be. So I had no hesitation to entrust my major dental treatment to Dr. Motiwala and his superb professional team. A fortnight after the major procedure and almost a week after getting my permanent teeth and a brand new smile, I am thrilled and excited that I made the right decision.
I am grateful to Dr. Motiwala and his support team for a job well done using a single-piece basal implant, all within 10 days and in a single visit to Hyderabad. I have no hesitation in recommending this procedure and this team to anyone in a similar situation who may be considering full mouth restoration. It is safe, done in less than 2 weeks, and in a single visit.
