'My dental work was meant to be the answer to my prayers. It was the opposite'

A train driver whose dodgy implant treatment left him unable to eat properly for years was forced to resort to DIY dentistry.

His dentist recommended removing his remaining teeth and replacing his dentures, which involved placing four implants in his upper mouth and two implants in his lower mouth to retain the dentures. A few months later, one of Gareth’s implants fell out of his mouth while he was having another impression taken.

Gareth visited another practice in 2021 where he learned his denture stability was questionable and he’s been living with uncomfortable clip-ons ever since. He hoped the permanent dentures would finally be the answer to his hopes and wishes – but it’s been nothing short of a nightmare. “I’m also anxious about what I can eat as I’ve had a significant amount of food trapped. Aftercare makes all the difference and if the clinic had corrected my poor treatment it would have been fine, but now the clip-on dentures keep breaking and I’ve even had to repair it a couple of times myself using denture repair kits. It’s also so embarrassing to clean them when I’m eating with company.
