Sally's Story

Sally's Story
Sally is a lovely lady who unfortunately lost three of her teeth on the left hand side due to multiple dental treatments since she was a teenager. Sally did not want to wear a denture, as it made her feel old, so we needed an alternative solution to her problem.

The Treatment
Instead of a denture, two titanium implants were placed into the gum on the left hand side, and a temporary bridge was positioned onto the implants so that Sally was not without teeth during the treatment. Once the implants had healed, an impression was taken to make a permanent porcelain bridge to replace all three missing teeth. The bridge was fitted a week later without any need for local anaesthetic.

The Outcome
The implants and bridge allowed Sally’s missing teeth to be replaced with something as natural feeling and looking as possible. The bridge matches the rest of Sally’s natural teeth perfectly is fixed into position permanently and functions exactly like an original tooth.

“Mike was fantastic. He explained the options that I had to replace them and when I choose implants it was one of the best decisions of my life. The treatment was well planned and explained to me, very professionally undertaken and pain free. I now have a smile I can be proud of and will be coming back to see the Hest Bank Care team often, as they all make you feel so welcome and part of the family”
