I have recently seen him for a consultation and have summarised my findings below. Mr. James Anderson presented with complaints of difficulty chewing and speaking due to multiple missing teeth. He also expressed concerns about the aesthetic impact on his smile. His history of presenting complaints includes a gradual loss of teeth over the past five years, primarily due to advanced periodontal disease.
