For 30 years, Mark, a 60-year-old gentleman from New Zealand, lived with the limitations of a failing dental system. With all his upper teeth missing and only four compromised, plaque-covered teeth remaining in his lower jaw, Mark’s daily life was defined by discomfort, unreliability, and a restricted diet.
Like many patients in his position, Mark had learned to adapt to the limitations, but he knew that for the sake of his long-term health and confidence, it was time for a permanent change.
The Clinical Challenge
Mark’s case was complex. Long-term tooth loss in the upper jaw had resulted in significant bone resorption, meaning standard dental implants were not an option without the lengthy, invasive process of bone grafting.
Mark needed a solution that was not only functional and aesthetically pleasing but also efficient. He needed a team that specialized in advanced implantology.
The Solution: The ZAGA Expertise
Mark turned to Sydney Top Dental, home to the first and only ZAGA Center in Ho Chi Minh City. Our clinic is part of an elite international network of certified experts in advanced zygomatic implant techniques, led by Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Hai (DDS, MSc), who brings over 25 years of experience in full-mouth rehabilitation.
Dr. Hai designed a two-part surgical plan to restore Mark’s smile:
- For the Upper Jaw: We utilized Zygomatic Implants (Cheekbone Implants). By anchoring these implants into the dense zygomatic bone, we bypassed the need for bone grafting entirely, providing immediate, stable support for his new teeth.
- For the Lower Jaw: We performed an All-on-4 implant procedure to replace his damaged lower teeth with a fixed, durable bridge.
The 14-Day Transformation
One of the most remarkable parts of Mark’s journey was the timeline. Through meticulous digital planning and the support of our in-house laboratory, Mark’s transition was completed in just 14 days.
When asked about his experience, Mark’s response was simple yet powerful:
“I love my new smile… Things have been good, the whole treatment’s been perfect, yeah.”
Today, Mark isn’t just eating confidently—he is smiling naturally. He has transitioned from a life of dental anxiety to a life where he feels like a “boss” again. He now advocates for Sydney Top Dental as the go-to destination for anyone struggling with severe tooth loss.
Why Zygomatic Implants?
Mark’s success story is a prime example of why Zygomatic implants are life-changing. If you have been told that you have “too much bone loss” for traditional implants, or if you’ve been wearing dentures for decades, you are not out of options.
- No Bone Grafting: We use the zygomatic bone to support your new teeth.
- Immediate Function: Experience the joy of a fixed, functional smile sooner.
- Expert Care: At a ZAGA-certified center, you are in the hands of global specialists.
