Trevor Peak 67 from Hull spoke to the Daily Mail about his costly cosmetic implants and the trouble he had with them.
He had dental implants fitted which replaced the top row of his teeth. The implants were attached by titanium pegs which were drilled into his jawbone he then had porcelain crowns fitted to a bridge cemented on to the titanium pegs.
After the wedding he found that the teeth started to come loose. He told the Mail that when he became passionate about a point he was making in a meeting a dental implant fell out of his mouth.
Two years after that the crowns had to pasted back into place – one of which was redone four times.
As the dental implants fell out he told the Mail. ‘I must have swallowed the crown in the night. I started to look like a Bond baddie with steel pins where my teeth should have been.’
He had to have the bridge re-attached multiple times. The implants gradually became looser because the bone they were screwed into gradually got smaller.
He later discovered that the dental implants were not fitted properly because his jawbone wasn’t big enough to sustain them.
