We’re excited to share that our very own Nigel Suggett has been featured in Clinical Dentistry magazine for his work on a particularly complex dental implant case — one that shows just how life-changing modern dentistry can be.
This isn’t just a story about implants. It’s about restoring confidence, rebuilding comfort, and achieving a smile that looks and feels beautifully natural.
A patient came to us with multiple concerns: one of their front teeth was severely damaged, another was loose, and the surrounding gum area had receded significantly. On top of that, the patient was understandably worried about how their smile would look after treatment — especially since it affected their front teeth, the most visible part of anyone’s smile.
Instead of rushing into treatment, Nigel and the team developed a personalised plan that addressed every detail — from the bone structure beneath the gums to the way the final tooth would appear in the smile.
The treatment involved:
This wasn’t a one-size-fits-all fix. It took time, precision, and teamwork — especially between our dental team and our skilled laboratory partners.
The final outcome was not only functional — it was beautiful. The patient’s new smile looked completely natural, and the surrounding gum area healed in a way that made the implant indistinguishable from the other teeth. The “black triangle” (the dark space that can sometimes appear between teeth and gums) was successfully avoided thanks to advanced gum-shaping techniques.
Most importantly, the patient walked away feeling proud to smile again — and that’s what matters most to us.
You don’t need to have a perfect smile to start with. Whether you’re missing a tooth, dealing with old dental work that needs replacing, or simply unsure about your options — we’re here to help.
This case shows that with the right planning, modern technology, and a team who genuinely listens, even the most complex dental challenges can lead to stunning results.
