For Shane, a patient from Australia, 24 years of living with removable dentures wasn’t a choice—it was a life sentence he thought he had to accept. But at Sydney Top Dental, Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Hai proved otherwise through the revolutionary Zygomatic Implant technique.
1. 24 Years and a “No” in Australia
For over two decades, Shane was all too familiar with the inconveniences of dentures: the instability while speaking, the lack of sensation while eating, and the progressive loss of his jawbone.
Back in Brisbane, Shane visited multiple dental clinics hoping for a permanent solution. However, the answer was always the same: “It’s impossible.” Due to severe upper jawbone loss, local doctors advised him to stick with dentures. Furthermore, if he attempted complex bone grafting, the cost in Australia would be “an arm and a leg” with no guaranteed success.

2. Sydney Top Dental – The Final Hope at Vietnam’s Only ZAGA Center
Refusing to give up, Shane looked further afield and discovered Sydney Top Dental—the first and only authorized ZAGA Center in Vietnam.
Here, Shane found more than just a dental clinic; he found an elite team specializing in “impossible” cases that had been rejected elsewhere. With global ZAGA certification, Sydney Top Dental follows the highest international standards for treating extreme bone resorption.
3. Dr. Hai’s Zygoma Technique: The Key to Change
Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Hai, with over 30 years of experience and one of the few experts in Vietnam to master Zygomatic Implants, personally designed Shane’s treatment plan:
- Upper Jaw: Zygomatic Implants. Instead of relying on the diminished jawbone, Dr. Hai anchored specialized implants into the zygomatic (cheek) bone. This bone is incredibly dense and stable, allowing for immediate loading without the need for 6-12 months of painful bone grafting.
- Lower Jaw: All-on-4 Solution. Establishing a solid foundation for the lower arch, perfectly restoring chewing function.
The difference lies in Dr. Hai’s expertise: His minimally invasive approach minimized swelling and discomfort for Shane. The use of digital navigation technology ensured every implant was placed with micron-level precision, guaranteeing long-term stability.
4. A Life Reborn in 72 Hours
Just 72 hours after the procedure, Shane looked in the mirror and saw a completely different person. No more metal hooks or bulky plastic plates—instead, he had a fixed, naturally aesthetic set of teeth that felt like his own.
Shane shared emotionally: “I was told I had no choice but dentures. But now, I can eat anything I want and smile without the fear of my teeth falling out. Dr. Hai and the Sydney Top Dental team did what doctors in Australia said was impossible.”
5. Conclusion
Shane’s story is proof that severe bone loss is not the end of the road. With modern technology and the skill of ZAGA-certified experts, every patient has the chance for a permanent smile.
