I wanted a strong, permanent fix after years of crowns and bridges. All-on-6 gave me that and more. I feel healthier, younger, and haven’t stopped smiling since.
Losing a back tooth made chewing difficult and made me feel older than I am. The implant blends in completely, and it feels no different to the real thing. I’m very grateful for the excellent care I received.
I was told elsewhere that implants weren’t possible due to bone loss. But here, they offered zygomatic implants—and it was the perfect solution. I’m smiling again without fear or discomfort.
I’d lost most of my upper teeth and felt embarrassed smiling. With the All-on-4 treatment, I left with a secure, full set of teeth on the same day. It’s given me back more than just my smile—it’s given me my life back.

After the CT-guided procedure, I had minimal discomfort and a quick recovery. Being able to see my dental issues so clearly in advance made all the difference in my confidence and comfort during the process. I’m extremely grateful for the exceptional care I received from Dr. Aoife Gallagher.
