INTRODUCTION

People lose teeth all the time, either through trauma when teeth are knocked out or due to decay, gum disease or old age. Whatever the reason for loosing your teeth they need to be replaced both for aesthetic and functional reasons. Dental implants are now becoming the preferred option to replace missing teeth as they provide a longer-term solution, slow down bone loss and preserve nearby healthy tooth tissue. Dental implants are also commonly used to securely fix a denture in place, avoiding embarrassing denture slippage or denture fixatives.



Jan presented with several failing crowns and bridges. Several teeth were removed and a total of 11 dental implants were fitted. His final teeth are supported by a combination of dental implants and his remaining teeth.

Despite Bruce Grobbelaar's best efforts in recovering my teeth from the football pitch, my mouth was never going to be the same. That injury was the start of 20 years of painful problems for me which only now, thanks to Liam, has been solved. Liam dramatically improved my mouth using implants. Today I am pain free and my teeth look great. If only I had found Liam 20 years ago!
