Stewart’s Smile Story
Stewart’s Smile Story with Gerard Skeffington at Tooth Doctor
Smile Makeover
With Dr. Andrew McIntyre
Stewart visited the practice to for attend a consultation with one of our smile advisors as he wished for some options to improve his smile. He was struggling to wear his current partial denture due a gag reflex and wished for a fixed permanent option to improve this. After Seeing our smile advisor, Stewart attended an appointment for a full clinical assessment for implants with our Dentist Gerry, at this appointment Gerry was able to put a plan in place with Stewart that he was happy and comfortable with.
The Treatment
Stewart had opted to have all his remaining teeth taken out and implants immediately placed, along with a temporary bridge. This process is called same day smile, it allows patient’s to avoid wearing a denture during the healing stage. Using digital planning Stewart successfully had 5 implants placed and a bridge placed that day just as planned which he was delighted with .
After a few months healing with the temporary bridge we were able to get to work on his final restoration.
This process was made really easy due to digital techniques, minimizing use for conventional impressions and making things more comfortable for Stewart. After a couple of weeks, his final bridge was fitted and Stewart was over the moon with the final outcome. A final hygiene appointment was attended to ensure Stewart knew how to maintain his new smile and keep everything healthy long term.

Big thanks to Gerry and the team at the tooth doctor for giving me my smile back.
From day one I was in awe of all the technology and planning which goes into such cases. This put me at ease right.
away knowing there were no corners being cut and I was at the right place.
The full process has been great and I’m over the moon with how good my new implant bridge looks and feels.
