Charlotte: Three New Front Teeth
A smile that makes it all worthwhile.
Charlotte's confidence was shattered when at the age of just 23, she shattered three of her front teeth, transforming her once beautiful smile into something from a horror movie. Fortunately, the team at The Implant Centre were able to help her and give her back both her smile and her confidence.
“knowing that I don’t need to worry about my teeth anymore is just amazing.”
Treatment Overview
-
Charlotte had always been proud of her smile but, aged just 23, whilst on holiday with friends she slipped in the bathroom and fell straight onto her beautiful front teeth. Three of her four upper incisors were very badly damaged, one being knocked out completely. She was devastated.
Initially, she was given a denture to replace the missing tooth, and her dentist did everything possible to patch up the broken ones. Over subsequent months though, her damaged teeth discoloured and her gums receded. She found the denture acutely embarrassing too, and simply stopped smiling. Fortunately, her best friend’s mother had received treatment at The Implant Centre and was sure we could help Charlotte.

Our thorough assessment included a CT scan, which showed exactly how much bone Charlotte had lost around these teeth as a result of her accident and the infections that followed: it was obvious that the treatment would be far from simple, but we reassured her that we’d be able to recreate her beautiful smile, and that we’d never leave her without teeth during the treatment.
Though it was a longer process than for most of our patients, Charlotte was able to see regular and steady progress as we repaired the jaw damage and placed her implants. When we fitted a temporary bridge to sculpt the gum into the contours we needed, Charlotte was thrilled to at last be able to throw away the hated denture!
