When Nicola Lewin first contacted us, she was living with the difficult effects of advanced gum disease.
Both her upper and lower jaws had been severely compromised — her teeth had become loose, her gums were inflamed,
and diagnostic X-rays revealed significant bone loss. These issues not only affected her ability to eat and speak
comfortably but also had a major impact on her confidence and day-to-day life.
To restore full function and aesthetics, Dr. Attila Kaman developed a comprehensive treatment plan.
Nicola’s failing teeth were carefully extracted, and dental implants were placed to rebuild the structure and strength
of both jaws. These implants served as a stable foundation for her new implant-supported bridges,
designed to look natural and feel secure.
Thanks to precise implant placement and advanced techniques, Nicola was able to use her new teeth immediately.
Her implant bridges restored proper chewing function, speech clarity, and overall oral stability — giving her teeth
that looked and performed as well as, if not better than, her natural smile.
Nicola’s transformation was so remarkable that her story captured public attention. Her journey — from severe gum
disease and bone deterioration through to a confident, functional new smile — was featured in local and national press,
as well as a segment on the BBC. Her case continues to inspire others facing similar dental concerns and demonstrates
the life-changing potential of full-mouth implant rehabilitation.
Details of the Treatment:
9 upper Camlog Implants
5 lower Branemark implants
Left and right sinus elevations
12 – 12 unit porcelain fused to gold bridges
The x-ray shown (right) shows Nicola after the dental implant placing and upper & lower bridge fitting.
9 Branemark dental implants were used in the upper jaw and 5 Branemark dental implants in the lower jaw. This case was particularly tricky as there was very little usable bone in the lower jaw in which to place dental implants.
Porcelain fused to gold bridges were used to provide an aesthetically pleasing look and a strong restoration. The dental implant bridges are held in by screws and can easily be removed by a dentist if necessary.

Time Required to Completed Treatment:3 visits, 3 and 6 months apart respectively. The first two visits were for 3 days each and the final required 10 days.
