“It’s worth it for the confidence alone”

Nigel Smith suffered from a lack of confidence because of a failing front tooth. After undergoing treatment at Premium Dental Implants, Nigel can now eat, smile and sing with confidence.

Single implant

“It’s the strongest tooth in my mouth”

“I had a black hole in my front tooth. I’d lost the back four, but singing as I do in a band, I’m a front man in a four-piece band, I tried to cover the tooth as I sang and it affected my confidence and the way I pronounced words. I had to eat predominantly with my front teeth and so that became a bit of an issue because I was putting more pressure on my front teeth. Since having the implant I think I could take the top off a bottle of coke, because that implant is the strongest tooth in my mouth. I can now eat anything.”

“Money doesn’t come into it!”

“I discussed it with my wife and she said, “money doesn’t come into it, you’ll look stupid with a gap in your tooth." It was going to be the be all and end all to have this tooth done and I could forget about it for the rest of my life. It feels like a part of my skull. Before I had the implant done I always worried about the filling dropping out and not having my back teeth I had to eat on the right-hand side of my mouth all the time to avoid breaking my tooth. It’s worth it for the confidence alone. Now I can pronounce my words properly, I can eat anything, I can smile without worry, my breath is fresher. It’s brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.”

Nothing to fear

“I have been really scared for most of my life of dentists, doctors etc. So, I wasn’t looking forward to the process of having an implant as I didn’t understand what an implant really was. I had a consultation with Dr Jones who explained the procedure fully, took X-rays and everything else. He said he would sedate me and that I wouldn’t feel a thing and he was right and it was really nice to be treated by one of the top people in the country.”
