At the age of 63, Ms. Lê Thị Ngọc Ẩn – owner of Quang Khánh Pharmacy, a long-established and reputable pharmacy in Nha Trang – looks back on a life filled with meaningful experiences.
In her younger years, she devoted herself to studying, building her business, and taking care of her family. Now, as she enters retirement, her greatest wish is simple yet precious: to live healthily, peacefully, travel freely, take beautiful photos, and fully enjoy the rewards of a lifetime of dedication.

However, for many years, the full-arch dental bridge she had done in her youth gradually deteriorated, causing inflammation, pain, and constant inconvenience in her daily life. Fortunately, she eventually found the right solution.
Let’s follow Viet Han Dental Clinic to discover Ms. Ẩn’s journey and how her smile was restored.

1. When a Smile Becomes a Silent Worry

In the past, Ms. Ẩn had full-arch porcelain bridges for both her upper and lower jaws. Over time, these restorations weakened and lost their stability. Not only did they no longer look aesthetic, but they also caused recurring pain and inflammation, making everyday activities increasingly difficult.

The discomfort during eating left her exhausted, but the biggest shock came during a trip to the United States to visit her son. In the middle of a meal, her entire upper dental bridge suddenly fell out.
She recalled that moment as “a mix of panic, embarrassment, and overwhelming anxiety.”

She immediately scheduled a dental consultation in the U.S., where doctors recommended implant treatment. However, the cost was far beyond her means. She chose to endure the discomfort and wait until returning to Vietnam to find a more suitable solution.

From that moment on, a woman who had always been confident in communication and daily interactions found herself hiding her smile and avoiding eating freely.

2. A Journey to Find the Right Place to Trust

Back in Nha Trang, Ms. Ẩn visited nearly every well-known dental clinic she could find. Each place offered different advice, but her worries remained unresolved.

It was only when she came to Viet Han Dental Clinic that she finally felt complete peace of mind:

  • A team of dedicated doctors who carefully listened and provided clear, scientific treatment plans
  • A gentle and thoughtful patient care process that eased all her fears
  • Modern technology and transparent solutions that built strong trust

Ms. Ẩn shared: “Here, I felt that they weren’t just treating my teeth—they truly listened and cared. Every issue I had was understood and explained clearly. The doctor diagnosed correctly and treated the problem at its root. From the care team to the assistants, everyone had solid medical knowledge and communicated directly and honestly. That’s why I felt confident entrusting my oral health to them.”

3. Diagnosis & Comprehensive Treatment Plan

3.1 Clinical Diagnosis

After a thorough examination, Dr. Khổng Văn Quân concluded that Ms. Ẩn’s condition was quite complex:

  • Partial tooth loss in the upper jaw
  • Multiple root canal–treated teeth with signs of infection
  • Significant bone loss in both horizontal and vertical dimensions

These issues were the main reasons her old dental bridges became unstable, painful, and potentially harmful to her overall health.

3.2 Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on her condition, the doctor designed a comprehensive treatment plan focusing on both long-term function and aesthetics.

Upper Jaw

  • Removal of all remaining teeth and roots, preserving only tooth 27 as it was still viable
  • All-on-6 full-arch implant technique: placement of 6 international-standard titanium implants to support 12 high-quality full-ceramic teeth
  • Bone grafting and sinus lift where necessary to ensure adequate bone volume and stability
  • Immediate fixed temporary prosthesis after surgery to maintain aesthetics and chewing function
  • After 4–6 months of successful osseointegration, placement of the final full-ceramic prosthesis with excellent durability, natural appearance, and optimal chewing ability

Lower Jaw

  • Removal of old dental bridges and damaged teeth (35 and 36)
  • Implant placement at positions 35, 37, 46, and 47 to restore missing teeth and balance bite forces
  • No bone grafting required due to good bone quality in the lower jaw

This transformation brought her a renewed quality of life:

  • Enjoying her favorite foods without hesitation
  • Communicating confidently with customers, friends, and partners
  • Traveling freely and capturing beautiful memories with a radiant smile
