SEHA's Tawam Hospital Restores Quality Of Life For Patient With Complex Oral Needs

(MENAFN- Mid-East Info) Successful oral rehabilitation for a 28-year-old patient with severe jaw atrophy highlights Tawam Hospital's advanced capabilities in complex dental care

Abu Dhabi, UAE, April 2026 – SEHA, a subsidiary of PureHealth, the largest healthcare group in the Middle East, has announced a significant clinical achievement at Tawam Hospital with the successful oral rehabilitation of a 28-year-old patient with special needs who had suffered from severe jaw atrophy for more than a decade.

After an extended course of oral rehabilitation, and despite the complexity of her condition, the patient's case was successfully treated at Tawam Hospital under the care of Dr Muwaffaq Al Ghafoor, through a comprehensive dental rehabilitation programme, which included the placement of implants under general anaesthesia.

Due to the severity of her condition and her special needs, she could not undergo treatment under local anaesthesia or within conventional clinical settings. She was living with an intellectual disability alongside advanced jaw atrophy, making dental implants placement and oral rehabilitation complex. This had significantly affected her ability to chew and speak, with a profound impact on her quality of life.

A multidisciplinary team at Tawam Hospital, comprising prosthodontic experts and supported by surgical and anaesthesia teams, worked collaboratively to deliver the procedure in line with the highest standards of safety and care. This coordinated approach enabled the successful restoration of the patient's chewing function, improvement in oral health and nutrition, enhancement of speech, and a meaningful improvement in confidence and daily wellbeing.

Dr. Muwaffaq Radeef Al Ani, Consultant in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Tawam Hospital, said:“This outcome highlights the importance of specialised, multidisciplinary care for patients facing complex medical and dental challenges. By combining advanced surgical techniques with safe anaesthesia and comprehensive rehabilitation, we were able to restore oral function and significantly improve the patient's quality of life.”

Dr. Nouraddine Alhasan, Acting Division Chief at Tawam Hospital, added:“Oral rehabilitation extends far beyond dental health; it directly influences nutrition, general health, and self-confidence. We are proud to provide advanced solutions and dedicated support for patients with special needs and complex medical conditions across the UAE to ensure they receive care that upholds dignity and quality of life.”

This achievement reflects SEHA's Tawam Hospital's commitment to delivering advanced, patient-centred care, particularly for individuals who cannot be treated in traditional clinical environments. The successful management of this case demonstrates the hospital's ability to combine clinical innovation with compassionate care to achieve life-changing outcomes.

Through such specialised interventions, Tawam Hospital continues to strengthen its leadership in complex dental and surgical care, ensuring that patients with challenging conditions receive comprehensive treatment aligned with international standards of excellence.
