Case Study

At over 60-year-old, Patricia jogs, goes to the gym, is full of life and eager to smile at every opportunity. But for more than 20 years, the lollipop lady hardly ever smiled and could not even look in the mirror.

An All on 4 implant patient, Patricia attributes her new zest for life is inextricable linked to the new look she received at the Darlington Implant Clinic. She came looking for help and went away with not only a new smile, but also a whole new life. In her own words, this is her transformation story:

“All On 4 choice gave me the confidence to smile at life. I had problems with my teeth since I was a young girl and a bad experience at a dentist as a child did not help. I was just eight years old and the whole thing was just terrible. The team I’ve met at Darlington Implant Clinic were nothing like that. They couldn’t do enough for me and were so kind and friendly. From the first day I was made to feel like a princess by Denise the Business Manager, and the reception staff were very welcoming.

“My teeth were really awful. I had work done and ended up with three different colours of teeth – the crowns, my own teeth and the denture I had to wear. I even paid £700 for some new dentures, but they were hopeless, and I was unable to wear them. I got to the point where I wouldn’t go out and eating was awful. I was always getting food trapped under the denture. When I spoke, I always had my hand in front of my mouth this went on for years. I was ashamed at the way I looked and would not even look in a mirror. Now they can’t keep me away from it. I saw an advert about what they (Darlington Implant Clinic) could do for me and I thought ‘that’s for me. It’s just what I want.
