“I’d lost most of my teeth over the years, and the old dentures I had were so loose I could barely chew. I avoided certain foods, felt embarrassed to smile, and after yet another dental abscess, I realised I couldn’t keep going like that. It was time to get my smile — and my confidence — back.” – John.
John came to Gibside Dental wanting to eat comfortably again and enjoy a normal life without worrying about his teeth.
Treatment sequence:
Outcome:
His full transformation took 6 months, with a total investment of £5,500.
Today, John can head out for Friday fish and chips without a second thought — eating comfortably and smiling confidently again.
