Sarah gets a brand new zygomatic smile

 

Janice gets a brand new zygomatic smile….

Have a look at our latest happy patient.

Janice had been wearing a full upper denture for quite some time and found it didn’t stay in place, making it very uncomfortable, and meaning it was difficult to enjoy all the foods she knew she should eat to have a healthy, balanced and varied diet.

Janice was concerned that her bone levels may not have been good enough to be able to have regular implants, and although this worry is unfounded for many patients using the All-on-4 technique, Janice’s bone levels were too low to allow us to perform a standard All-on-4 procedure for her.

On examination of her CT scan, we were able to determine that Janice was suitable for All-on-4, but using her zygomatic arch, or cheekbones, rather than the usual upper jaw bone.

After a few days recuperating following her procedure at the ’ practice in Lymm, Cheshire, Janice was back to her usual self, and even went off travelling to India for 4 months in her provisional teeth!

Janice has since returned from her exciting trip, and has just had her definitive teeth fitted. I’m sure you’ll agree she looks amazing.

Janice’s final word… “I am thrilled with the results!”

Bone Loss Dental Implants – What’s Next?

 

Zygoma Implants – The Bone Loss Cosmetic Dental Implant Solution

A common problem, particularly for those who have worn dentures for many years, is that of jaw bone loss. Severe jaw bone loss can make it impossible for a dental surgeon to carry out the necessary bridgework needed for traditional cosmetic dental implants.

Zygoma Implants – The Solution for those with Bone Loss

Zygoma implants are a perfect solution for those who do not have sufficient bone for traditional cosmetic dental implants. This type of implant is much longer than the traditional ones and are attached to the cheek bone (the zygoma).

With zygomatic implants there is no need for bone grafting or multiple long stays in hospital! In fact, in the vast majority of cases, we can fit a fixed bridge on the same day that we fit the implants.

Our dental surgeons at are amongst the most qualified and experience in the world in zygomatic implants.

So, can you still have cosmetic dental implants if you’ve lost a lot of jaw bone? Yes, you can! Get in touch with us today to find out more.

All on 4 Implants by Some of the UK’s Leading All on Four Dentists

All on 4 Cosmetic Dental Implants

Choose an expert team of some of the UK’s most highly experienced All-on-4™ implant surgeons whose expertise ensures all of our patients receive an impeccable level of care.

Why All on 4?

We recommend All on 4 because we believe it’s the best approach to replacing missing teeth.

“It’s fair to say that cosmetic dental implants have revolutionised the treatment I am able to offer my patients. The ability to replace a single tooth or several missing teeth with a like for like replacement is truly revolutionary. Not only do cosmetic dental implants removed the need for poorly accepted plastic dentures or cutting what could be healthy teeth, they also have the highest success rates of treatments we, as dentists, can offer.

From replacing a single tooth, stabilising a poorly fitting denture, to providing a new set of teeth with All-on-4, cosmetic dental implants allow me to treat virtually any problem. All-on-4 is an increasingly popular treatment among my patients which offers life changing treatment at an affordable price. All-on-4 allows me to take patients with failing teeth or full dentures into fixed, natural looking teeth in a single day.”

What Makes All on 4 Different?

There are a number of reasons that All on 4 implants are different to traditional cosmetic dental implants.

  • Unlike traditional implants, there are just four titanium screw-like mechanisms used. This is compared to the 6, 8 or sometimes even 10 that are used with traditional implants.
  • With All on 4, we can often replace teeth in just one day.

The Key Benefits of All on Four

The major benefits that All on Four can offer patients include:

  • Implants won’t slip or move around in the way that dentures do
  • All on Four implants will restore oral functionality, meaning you’ll be able to eat and speak normally
  • Recovery is speedy
  • Having All on Four implants will reduce future jawbone deterioration
  • Pain and discomfort with this procedure is minimal

How Does All on 4 Work?

There are several steps to the process:

  • Initially, we will carry out a CT scan and/or an X-Ray to assess the current state of your jawbone and ensure you’re a suitable candidate
  • Any badly damaged or decayed teeth will be extracted
  • You’ll be given a local anaesthetic and small incisions will be made in your gums and the dentist will drill the jawbone to create hollows into which the implants will be fitted
  • The titanium All on 4 implants will be fitted. Over time, these implants will fuse with your bone.
  • A temporary bridge is fitted the same day.
  • You then return later for the permanent prosthetic teeth to be fitted

What do All on 4 Implants Cost?

All on 4 implants at start from £9,950.00.

We’re always happy to answer any queries about finance plans or the procedure and encourage you to get in touch with any questions.

Life changing experiences with dental treatment


“Having the All-on-4 treatment has really been a life changing experience for me”

A huge “thank you” to everyone at for giving me the smile I have always longed for. I can’t tell you how GREAT it feels.

Having my front teeth removed at the age of 16 was a real confidence blow, and also left me with a fear of all dentists. Also, over the years, having had poor, unrealistic looking and ill-fitting dentures didn’t help.

From my first phone call to , I found the whole experience very positive and reassuring. All my questions were answered and everyone put me at my ease so that for the first time ever, I felt relaxed sitting in a dentist’s chair!

Having the all-on-4 treatment has really been a life changing experience for me and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone, just go ahead and do it. You really will have something to smile about.”
