Years of Feeling Unhappy With His Smile
William speaks very openly about what pushed him to seek treatment.
He says he had lived for “years and years” with a smile he was not happy with, and that this had affected his confidence.
Eventually, he decided he was ready to change that.
His starting point was therefore both functional and personal. The treatment needed to restore missing teeth, but the final result also had to give him a smile he actually felt comfortable showing.
That is what turned the case from a simple implant procedure into a broader smile restoration.
His Treatment Plan: 2 Dental Implants and 4 Zirconium Crowns
After the clinical examination and X-rays, William’s treatment involved:
- 2 dental implants
- 4 zirconium crowns
- a final BL2 tooth shade
The implant phase addressed the missing-tooth areas, while the zirconium crowns completed the restorative part of the smile.
This type of treatment is different from a full-mouth restoration involving 20 or more crowns. William’s case was more focused: restore the missing teeth, rebuild the affected section of the smile, and create a result that looked complete and natural.
The important point is that implants and crowns were used together rather than treating every tooth in the mouth unnecessarily.
Why Dental Implants Were Part of the Solution
Dental implants were required because William had missing teeth that needed replacement.
An implant replaces the root portion of a missing tooth and provides support for the final restoration placed above it.
In William’s case, two implants formed the foundation of the missing-tooth replacement, while the zirconium crowns completed the visible restoration.
That gave the treatment a clear purpose:
restore the spaces where teeth were missing while creating a more consistent appearance across the treated area.
For patients who have lost one or several teeth but do not require full-mouth implant treatment, William’s case shows how a smaller number of implants can be incorporated into a wider smile restoration.
Four Zirconium Crowns to Complete the Smile
William’s final restorative work included four zirconium crowns.
Zirconium was used to create the visible tooth restorations after the implant treatment and restorative planning.
The final shade was recorded as BL2, giving the restorations a bright but defined final color.
For William, the crowns were important because his goal was not simply to replace teeth mechanically. He wanted the finished area to contribute to a smile he could finally feel confident about.
A Dental Implant Procedure He Described as Easy
One of the strongest parts of William’s testimonial is how he describes the implant procedure itself.
Before treatment, many patients worry that dental implant surgery will be painful or difficult.
William had the opposite experience.
He describes the implant stage as:
“a piece of cake.”
He also says he did not feel the procedure because of the anesthetic.
That personal experience is particularly relevant for patients who are delaying implant treatment because they are afraid of pain.
William also explains that whenever he felt any sensitivity, the doctors stopped and addressed it immediately.
His description suggests that comfort was actively monitored throughout the treatment rather than expecting him to simply tolerate discomfort.
From London Prices to Treatment in Istanbul
William also talks about the financial difference between receiving extensive dental treatment in London and traveling to Istanbul.
He says treatment in his local area could reach £15,000 to £20,000, while his treatment at Mira Clinic cost only a fraction of what he expected to pay in London.
The important part of his testimonial is not the exact amount he personally paid, but the reason price influenced his decision.
He wanted to improve his smile without feeling that choosing a lower-cost destination meant giving up the quality of the experience or the final result.
In his words:
“Mira Clinic has given me the best smile one could ever possibly want for a fraction of the price.”
For him, value came from the combination of treatment, comfort, and the final smile rather than price alone.
From Low Confidence to a Smile He Wanted to Show
The biggest change William describes is confidence.
Before treatment, he talks about years of having an “imperfect smile” and feeling less confident because of it.
After the two implants and four zirconium crowns were completed, his reaction was completely different.
He simply says:
“Now look… it speaks for itself.”
That short statement captures the transformation better than a long technical explanation.
The dental implants solved the missing-tooth problem. The zirconium crowns completed the restoration. But what William valued most was finally having a smile he felt comfortable showing.
Before and After William’s Treatment
Before Treatment
William was dealing with:
- missing teeth requiring replacement
- dissatisfaction with the appearance of his smile
- years of reduced confidence
- uncertainty about whether to proceed with treatment abroad
- concerns about undergoing implant treatment
Treatment
His restorative treatment included:
- dental consultation and X-rays
- 2 dental implants
- 4 zirconium crowns
- BL2 final tooth shade
After Treatment
After completing the restoration, William described:
- a new smile
- restored missing teeth
- improved appearance
- greater confidence
- a comfortable implant experience
- strong satisfaction with the final result
The treatment was relatively focused in scale, but the impact on how he felt about his smile was significant.
A 10/10 Recommendation
William does not hesitate when giving his final opinion.
He says:
“I give them a 10 out of 10, and I recommend them to anybody.”
That recommendation comes after years of being unhappy with his teeth, deciding to travel from London, undergoing implant treatment, and seeing the completed result.
He also specifically recommends the clinic to people who are dealing with the kind of dental problems he had faced himself.
That makes his testimonial more than a general compliment. It comes from someone who began the journey lacking confidence and finished it feeling that the result had justified the decision.
Final Perspective
William Ashden traveled from London to Istanbul after years of feeling unhappy with his smile and wanting a solution that could restore both missing teeth and his confidence.
His treatment combined 2 dental implants with 4 zirconium crowns, finished in a BL2 shade, creating a focused restorative plan rather than an unnecessary full-mouth makeover.
The implants restored the missing-tooth areas, while the zirconium crowns completed the visible result.
William entered the process unsure of what to expect and concerned about the implant procedure. He finished it describing the treatment as comfortable, rating the experience 10/10, and saying that his new smile now speaks for itself.
For him, the biggest result was not simply replacing missing teeth. It was finally getting back the confidence he felt he had been missing for years.
