Before & After

Gum disease and drifting teeth

Before

Kim presented with loose teeth that were drifting all over the place due to the prescence of gum disease. This resulted in the gap that you can see in between her front teeth which was not there a few before. This unfortunate condition led to her on the verge of losing all of her upper teeth and the frightful prospect of wearing dentures for the rest of her life. Thankfully we had a solution to help.

After

Once we were able to stablise the gum disease - we were able to remove all of the affected teeth and replace them with dental implants using the "teeth in a day" protocol for which she was suitable for. We only needed to do this for her upper teeth as her lower teeth were in much better shape. The end result allowed her to have fixed teeth once again that were no longer loose and moving all over the place. This has restored her confidence once again!

"I love my new smile"

Before

Annelle visited us seeking a solution for her failing upper teeth which was not only detracting from her smile but was also not allowing her to chew her food as efficiently. After a robust treatment planning process we deemed that the "All on 4 - teeth in a day solution" for her upper teeth would be the best option to help solve these problems.

After

After the initial teeth in a day treatment going to plan and the implants having been given sufficient time to heal - the final bridge was bespokely fabricated thereby restoring her smile, confidence and function!

Multiple loose teeth and loose dentures

Before

After years of suffering with multiple loose teeth and loose dentures, Ali finally decided to take action. Knowing that he had to lose his teeth and given his history of gum disease we are able to first stabilise his gum disease and then restore his upper jaw with dental implants using the "teeth in a day" protocol.

After

We were able to save most of his lower teeth and restored him with a new lower denture. This combination approach was carefully discussed with the patient and decided as the best way forwards for him. He can now eat, chew and smile like he used to and is incredibly happy with the result

"I can't be happier with my new perfect teeth.

Before

Colin had difficulty eating and chewing as well as regular pain from his badly damaged and broken teeth for many years. He had suffered years of pain, sensitivity, difficulty eating and chewing and not to mention the lack of confidence when smiling. He finally mustered up the courage to take action and went ahead with the "teeth in a day" treatment.

After

Treatment was a success and for this final bridgework he wanted super white teeth and can now smile and eat with confidence free from any dental pain. In his own words Colins expressed his delight at the outcome: "I can't be happier with my new perfect teeth.

Numerous missing teeth and difficulty eating

Before

After years of dental issues, John had numerous missing teeth and difficulty eating. He could not get on with dentures and was keen on a fixed solution to help restore his confidence and ability to chew and eat well again.

After

The "teeth in day" treatment that we provided transformed his appearance in an instance. We removed the failing teeth and replaced them with Implant retained bridgework which gave him a full set of fixed teeth. He can now enjoy his food and smile with confidence again. John commented after his treatment: "My confidence has returned and I do not put off meeting friends and family.

Gummy smile and failing teeth

Before

Abdel Hakim presented to us with failing teeth and a smile that he was very embarrassed about. He knew he will lose all of his teeth and wanted a solution that would restore the quality of his life without resorting to removable dentures.

After

After careful planning it was decided that the "teeth in a day" protocol would be most suitable. What you see here is a life changing transformation of his smile that has enhanced his confidence to no end. Please see Abdel Hakims video testimonial below to give you an idea of how much this treatment means to him.

Improvement in facial profile

Before

Lucky presented with teeth that had drifted so far out that it was a cause for embarrassment for her. She wanted a solution that would allow her to have fixed teeth right from the outset without the need to wear dentures which she was absolutely dead against. We carefully planned her case and helped her find a solution that worked for her and provided her with what she really wanted.

After

The treatment involved stabilising her gum disease and removing the failed teeth after which we could restore her mouth with dental implants using the "teeth in a day" protocol. What you see here is a life changing transformation that has significantly enhanced her facial profile and restored her youthful look

Life changing transformation

Before

Due to years of neglect, Johns teeth unfortunately deteriorated to a state where he had to lose all of his upper teeth. He did not wish to face the prospect of wearing dentures and could not bear the thought of having a larger gap once these teeth are lost.

After

The "teeth in day protocol" was deemed appropriate for his case and even though there was a lack of bone - we were able to carry out some clever bone grafting techniques to give him a fixed set of teeth on the same day as he lost all of his upper teeth. The final bridge a few months later was fabricated giving him a second chance to smile, talk and eat with confidence. A life changing transformation for John when all else seemed lost.

Pterygoid Implants
The facts

The facts about Pterygoid Implants

What are Pterygoid Dental Implants?

Pterygoid dental implants are a specialised type of dental implant designed for patients who have insufficient bone mass in the upper jaw, particularly in the posterior (back) region. These implants are placed in the pterygoid region, which is located near the base of the skull, offering an alternative to bone grafting procedures. They provide support for dental prosthetics, including bridges and dentures, without the need for extensive bone augmentation.

Key Features of Pterygoid Dental Implants

Placement Location

Anatomy: Pterygoid implants are anchored in the pterygoid bone, which is part of the sphenoid bone located at the back of the upper jaw.

Angle: These implants are typically placed at an angle to reach the dense bone of the pterygoid region, providing stability.

Length and Design

Longer Implants: Pterygoid implants are usually longer than standard implants, ranging from 15 to 20 mm or more, to reach the stable bone structure.

Specialised Design: They have a unique design tailored to navigate the anatomical complexities of the pterygoid region.

Immediate Loading

Immediate Function: Often, pterygoid implants can be immediately loaded with a dental prosthesis, allowing patients to regain functionality quickly.

Benefits of Pterygoid Dental Implants

Avoids Bone Grafting

No Bone Augmentation: These implants eliminate the need for bone grafting procedures, which can be invasive and require lengthy healing times.

Reduced Surgical Interventions: Patients with severe bone loss can avoid multiple surgical procedures.

Enhanced Stability

Dense Bone Anchor: Anchoring in the dense bone of the pterygoid region provides superior stability compared to implants placed in compromised bone.

Secure Prosthetics: Offers a solid foundation for dental prosthetics, enhancing their functionality and durability.

Faster Treatment Time

Immediate Loading: The ability to immediately load the implant with a prosthesis reduces the overall treatment time.

Quick Recovery: Patients experience quicker recovery and faster return to normal activities.

Expanded Treatment Options

For Severe Bone Loss: Ideal for patients with extensive bone loss in the upper jaw who are not candidates for traditional implants.

Broader Applicability: Enables more patients to benefit from dental implants without extensive preparatory procedures.

Pterygoid Dental Implant Procedure

Initial Consultation and Assessment

Detailed Examination: Includes comprehensive dental examination, X-rays, and CT scans to assess bone quality and plan the implant placement.

Treatment Planning: A personalised treatment plan is created based on the patient’s specific needs and anatomical considerations.

Surgical Procedure

Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation options available for patient comfort.

Incision and Access: An incision is made in the gum tissue to expose the underlying bone.

Implant Placement: The implant is carefully inserted into the pterygoid bone at the appropriate angle. The surrounding gum tissue is then sutured.

Healing and Integration

Osseointegration: The implant integrates with the bone over a period of a few months, providing a stable foundation.

Follow-Up Visits: Regular check-ups are scheduled to monitor healing and ensure successful integration.

Prosthetic Attachment

Final Prosthesis: Once the implant has fully integrated, the final dental prosthesis (such as a crown, bridge, or denture) is attached, restoring function and aesthetics.

Pterygoid dental implants offer a viable solution for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw who are not candidates for traditional dental implants. By anchoring in the dense pterygoid bone, these implants provide enhanced stability and allow for immediate loading, reducing treatment time and improving patient outcomes. If you have been told you lack sufficient bone for conventional implants, consult with a qualified dental professional to see if pterygoid implants are an option for you.
