Widely spaced teeth occur when you have extra space within your jaw. This could be due to small sized teeth, abnormal growth of jaw bones, genetics, missing teeth and/or tongue protrusion.
Spacing issues can cause some periodontal diseases including gingivitis and periodontitis, that, left untreated, can lead to tooth loss.
When multiple adjacent teeth are missing, the ideal solution involves restoring every missing tooth with an individual implant. But as this solution may be expensive, another alternative is available, through restoring the missing teeth using a dental bridge supported by dental implants. Two or more dental implants are inserted on both sides of the edentulous area to act as abutments for restoration using a dental bridge.
Crossbite occurs when the upper and lower jaws are both misaligned. It usually causes one or more upper teeth to bite on the inside of the lower teeth, and can happen on both the front and/or the sides of the mouth.
This issue can cause wear of the teeth, gum disease and bone loss.
Overcrowded teeth occur when there is simply a lack of room within your jaw for all your teeth to fit normally.
When left untreated, overly crowded teeth can lead to an increased chance of gum disease, as your teeth are harder to clean.

Porcelain veneers can help improve the appearance of teeth that are malformed, cracked, discolored or have other types of imperfections. In most cases, porcelain veneers dramatically transform a patient’s smile, have positive impact on oral health and give the feeling of confidence.
Made of semi-translucent ceramic, porcelain veneers look realistic and are not noticable. Porcelain mimics the natural teeth enamel. This is impossible to achieve with other materials.

The All-on-6 dental implant technique is revolutionary procedure allowing patients to attend the surgery in the morning and leave with a fully fixed temporary set of teeth in the afternoon!
The All-on-6 concept was developed to enable the dental implant dentist to minimise the number of implants required to restore an entire arch (Jaw) of teeth and to enable the temporary restoration to be fitted to the implants on the very same day. Traditional implant techniques require 6-12 implants (which costs significantly more) to restore a jaw and also a period of extended healing time where the bridge cannot be fixed.
The scientific idea behind the All-on-6 implant technique is that the two front implants are placed straight into the front of the jawbone parallel to the previously existing teeth whilst the two implants placed at the back of the jaw are angled at about 30 to 45 degrees in the bone compared to original root positions. This method enables the implants to provide a firm overall support and also evenly spreads the chewing forces transmitted from the denture or bridge to the jawbone.
For a cost-effective way of replacing many missing teeth, dentures can be held securely in place with implants, providing a great improvement from traditional removable dentures.
A lower denture may only need two conventional implants to give a completely life-changing transformation to your ability to chew foods, and smile with confidence
Dental implants are small rod-like posts that act as a base for replacement teeth. They are placed into the jawbone and act like roots in that they support the tooth, denture or bridge.
The dental implant screw fits into the bone and has a clip (abutment) that the tooth (crown) fits on to. Titanium is the usual material that implants are made of, this is because Titanium has no ill effect on the human body and bonds readily with the new bone, which penetrates into the titanium surface. The implants should last a lifetime if you look after them and maintain good oral hygiene.
