Patient stories and case studies.

What brought them in

Years of avoiding dentists, then a dental abscess, had left a mouth that no longer worked. Eating was painful, social meals had stopped altogether, and three different practices had quoted figures that ruled out treatment.

What we did

We staged the case across nine months. Initial stabilisation, extractions of the teeth that could not be saved, surgical placement of implants in both arches, and a fixed temporary set of teeth on the day of surgery. Final restorations went in once the implants had fully integrated.

Where they are now

A fixed full-arch reconstruction, eating normally within twelve weeks of surgery, and a maintenance plan running ever since. The case sits in the middle of our published full-arch range.

What brought them in

Decades of grinding and a couple of older fillings had left several back teeth fractured and the bite collapsing. Hot and cold sensitivity was constant. The patient was clear they didn’t want a cosmetic upgrade — they wanted teeth that worked.

What we did

Ten weeks of stabilising hygiene and a night splint to protect what was left, then a sequence of crowns and an onlay across the affected quadrants. Each restoration was placed and reviewed before the next stage was started.

Where they are now

A stable bite, no sensitivity, and the maintenance plan covering the protective night-splint reviews. Aesthetically, almost no one notices the work — which is what they asked for.

What brought them in

A previously stable mouth had started to feel different — gums bleeding on brushing, a slight looseness on a front tooth, longer-looking teeth in the mirror. A previous practice had been doing six-monthly check-ups but no one had named what was happening.

What we did

A full periodontal assessment, root surface debridement across the mouth in two sessions, and a maintenance interval set at every three months for the first year. Daily home care reset around interdental brushes and disclosed-plaque review.

Where they are now

Bone loss arrested, the loose tooth re-stabilised without splinting, and the patient now between visits without anxiety. We expect the maintenance interval to widen back out once the second year of stable readings is in.
