This 68 year old lady had a recent face lift operation, which while pulling taught her lower wrinkles, also over-stretched the lower lip, so that it made lower full-denture wear impossible.

This 60 year old gentleman had a deteriorating upper dentition which had reached terminal dental stage. meaning they all had to be removed. He had been attempting to keep them for as long as possible, as he considered the prospect of a full upper denture would severely curtail his fond appreciation of all things culinary. After having a full dental clearance, his surgeon placed four implants to the maxilla, with combined bone grafting to increase the height of his posterior alveolar bone... Read more

This 19 year old female never developed her upper right lateral incisor. This common condition lead to a shift of her maxillary midline, which ultimately was corrected for by her orthodontist; he created a lateral incisor "space" for later implant replacement, and to provide for smile symmetry. The space was temporarily filled by a Maryland bridge, incorporated into a fixed orthodontic retainer wire. This temporary aesthetic measure allowed for bone grafting, and then later implant replacement to the area... Read more

As there was naturally even spacing between his teeth, loss of the premolar had created quite a long gap, and a denture or bridge was aesthetically impossible. A dental implant was placed to maximise both the aesthetic reconstruction of his lost premolar tooth, as well as establish normal biting function... Read more

Implants were placed to the empty incisor teeth sockets, and 5 months later crowns were inserted into the implants, maximising the local soft tissue aesthetics... Read more

This 52 year old male had severe generalised periodontal disease, with specialist periodontal care unable to stop the deterioration of his gums or improve the increasing loosening of his teeth. He sought definitive remedial action through full dental clearance, but was circumspect on the prospect of full dentures. In particular he felt he would not be able to tolerate a full upper denture because of gagging... Read more
