Missing Tooth Replacement

PB self referred himself for an implant for his missing upper left tooth which was causing him concerns in both appearance and an ability to eat.

He had previously a crown in this space which failed and had to be removed leaving him with a gap, as a result he was left with an uncomfortable denture.

The new dental implant retained crown is now in place, and we are waiting for the gum to heal around the new tooth. This should take another 6 months.

We have a quote from his experience here at Smile Dental Implants.

“I found your facilities to be of an excellent standard and your knowledge and understanding of my needs to be very good indeed. Not to mention a very affordable price that brings dentistry back within the realms of the average man.”
