That prolonged hospitalization and intubation took a severe toll on her oral health, and by the time she was stable enough to address it, her upper teeth could not be saved.<\/p>\r\n<p>She also lives with a closed head injury and uses a wheelchair as a result of the accident \u2014 her care needed to work around real physical and medical limitations, not just dental ones.<\/p>\r\n<p>Dr. Jandali completed her full surgical and prosthodontic rehabilitation, removing what remained of her upper teeth and providing a fixed, implant-supported upper prosthesis. After years of struggling with a damaged, unstable smile, it was a life-changing transformation \u2014 she regained the ability to eat, smile, and feel like herself again.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"result\">Result: Full upper arch, implant-supported fixed prosthesis, restoring function and confidence after catastrophic auto trauma. She now returns 2\u20133 times a year for routine cleanings and check-ups.<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"path-note\">Cases like this \u2014 where a car accident directly leads to the loss of a person's teeth \u2014 are exactly the kind of trauma Michigan's No-Fault PIP coverage exists to help fund.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"case-gallery\">\r\n<div class=\"case-img-item\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingsmiles.us\/staging\/7817\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Auto-accident-pre-op-Smile-scaled.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Patient smile before the accident\" style=\"width:100%;height:150px;object-fit:cover;border-radius:8px;display:block\"><span style=\"display:block;text-align:center;font-size:.7rem;color:var(--text-light);margin-top:6px;line-height:1.4\">Pre-Accident Smile<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"case-img-item\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingsmiles.us\/staging\/7817\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Auto-accident-pre-op-CT.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pre-operative CT scan showing extent of tooth and bone loss\" style=\"width:100%;height:150px;object-fit:cover;border-radius:8px;display:block\"><span style=\"display:block;text-align:center;font-size:.7rem;color:var(--text-light);margin-top:6px;line-height:1.4\">Pre-Operative CT Scan<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"case-img-item\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingsmiles.us\/staging\/7817\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Auto-accident-post-op-x-rays.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Post-operative x-ray showing implants placed\" style=\"width:100%;height:150px;object-fit:cover;border-radius:8px;display:block\"><span style=\"display:block;text-align:center;font-size:.7rem;color:var(--text-light);margin-top:6px;line-height:1.4\">Post-Op X-Ray, Implants Placed<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"case-img-item\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingsmiles.us\/staging\/7817\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Autoaccident-Post-op-smile-1.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Patient smiling after full arch implant restoration\" style=\"width:100%;height:150px;object-fit:cover;border-radius:8px;display:block\"><span style=\"display:block;text-align:center;font-size:.7rem;color:var(--text-light);margin-top:6px;line-height:1.4\">Post-Operative Smile<\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"case-divider\"><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"case-card\">\r\n<span class=\"case-tag gold\">Workplace Injury<\/span>\r\n<h3>Rebuilding a Jaw \u2014 and a Life \u2014 After a Life-Threatening Workplace Accident<\/h3>\r\n<div class=\"case-body\">\r\n<div class=\"case-copy\">\r\n<p>This patient was catastrophically injured on the job when a crane cable snapped, causing severe, life-threatening trauma to his face and body. He was hospitalized and stabilized, but the impact had shattered both his upper and lower jaw and cost him many of his natural teeth. He also lost one eye as a result of his injuries.<\/p>\r\n<p>His reconstruction began with a fibula free flap procedure \u2014 using bone from his own leg to rebuild the lower jaw the accident had destroyed. Once that foundation had healed, he moved into implant-based dental rehabilitation, receiving implants in both his upper and lower jaws to replace lost teeth and restore his ability to eat and function normally again.<\/p>\r\n<p>Dr. Jandali coordinated closely with the oral and maxillofacial surgery and head &amp; neck surgical teams at Henry Ford Health throughout his recovery, then completed the prosthodontic phase \u2014 the implants and restorations that gave him back a working, functional bite.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"result\">Result: Full prosthodontic rehabilitation following fibula free flap mandibular reconstruction, with implants placed in both arches to restore function after catastrophic workplace trauma.<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"path-note\">Serious workplace injuries like this one are exactly what Michigan workers' compensation exists to help fund \u2014 coverage many patients don't realize applies to this level of reconstructive and restorative care.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"case-gallery\">\r\n<div class=\"case-img-item\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingsmiles.us\/staging\/7817\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Work-Accident-Pre-OpCT.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pre-operative CT showing extent of traumatic injury and bone loss\" style=\"width:100%;height:150px;object-fit:cover;border-radius:8px;display:block\"><span style=\"display:block;text-align:center;font-size:.7rem;color:var(--text-light);margin-top:6px;line-height:1.4\">Pre-Operative CT Scan<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"case-img-item\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingsmiles.us\/staging\/7817\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Work-Accident-Post-op-CT.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Post-operative CT showing fibula free flap reconstruction with dental implants and fixed zirconia prosthesis\" style=\"width:100%;height:150px;object-fit:cover;border-radius:8px;display:block\"><span style=\"display:block;text-align:center;font-size:.7rem;color:var(--text-light);margin-top:6px;line-height:1.4\">Post-Op CT, Fibula Free Flap Reconstruction<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"case-img-item\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingsmiles.us\/staging\/7817\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Work-Accident-Post-Op.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Post-operative close-up of fixed prosthesis in place\" style=\"width:100%;height:150px;object-fit:cover;border-radius:8px;display:block\"><span style=\"display:block;text-align:center;font-size:.7rem;color:var(--text-light);margin-top:6px;line-height:1.4\">Post-Operative Prosthesis<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"case-img-item\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingsmiles.us\/staging\/7817\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Work-Accident-Post-Op.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Patient smiling after full implant rehabilitation\" style=\"width:100%;height:150px;object-fit:cover;border-radius:8px;display:block\"><span style=\"display:block;text-align:center;font-size:.7rem;color:var(--text-light);margin-top:6px;line-height:1.4\">Post-Operative Smile<\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<section class=\"section\" style=\"background:var(--white);\">\r\n<div class=\"section-inner\">\r\n<div class=\"center\">\r\n<div class=\"section-eyebrow\">Common Questions<\/div>\r\n<h2 class=\"section-title\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"faq-list\">\r\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n<div class=\"faq-question\" onclick=\"toggleFAQ(this)\">\r\nDoes this replace my dental insurance?\r\n<span class=\"icon\">+<\/span>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>No. PIP and workers' compensation are separate from dental insurance and can potentially be used alongside it, depending on your specific policies and situation.
