I've been told I may lose all my teeth. Are there really any other options?

Very often there are more options than 'take everything out and have dentures'. At our Haworth-based Smile Specialist Centre near Bradford, we carefully assess each tooth, your bite and gums, then explore ways to save and strengthen key teeth where possible. This might include advanced gum care, stronger fillings, crowns, bridges or implants, so you can often keep more of your own teeth for longer.

Can I combine different treatments like crowns, bridges, implants and fillings?

Yes. In real life, the best result often comes from a carefully planned combination of treatments. Dr Kilcoyne regularly blends strong white fillings, crowns, bridges, precision dentures and dental implants to rebuild a comfortable bite and a natural-looking smile, aiming to be as conservative as possible while still giving long-term stability and confidence.

Why see a specialist in Bradford for complex dental problems?

When multiple teeth, gums and your bite are all involved, it helps to see someone who plans advanced cases every day. Dr Anthony Kilcoyne is a local specialist who receives referrals from dentists across Bradford, Keighley, Halifax and Skipton for complex smiles, second opinions and rescue cases. We take time to listen, examine and then explain all realistic options in plain English.

I’m worried everything will be done in one go. Can treatment be staged?

Yes. Many Bradford and Keighley patients prefer to work in planned stages, prioritising the teeth and areas that need help most urgently. We can often stabilise things first, then improve the bite, then refine the appearance, spreading treatment and cost sensibly over time while still working towards an agreed long-term plan.

Are there options if I already have dentures or loose teeth and struggle to eat?

Depending on your bone levels and remaining teeth, we may use a mix of crowns, bridges, precision dentures and implants or mini-implants to stabilise your bite. Even a small number of carefully placed implants can greatly improve the grip of a denture or support fixed teeth, making eating and socialising much more comfortable again.

What happens at a first visit with Dr Kilcoyne at the Smile Specialist Centre?

Your initial visit usually includes a thorough assessment of your teeth, gums and bite, plus photographs and appropriate x-rays or 3D scans if needed. We discuss your worries, explain what can realistically be saved, and outline one or more tailored treatment plans with clear stages, timescales and fees so you can decide what feels right for you.

Accordion Menu
This template takes advantage of the exclusive YOOtheme Accordion Menu for all menus in the left or right column.
Just create a Separator/Placeholder and some child items in the Menu Manager.

Active Item Detection for various color stylings
With the Active Item Detection the template knows which menu item you are currently browsing. For example set any CSS class depending on the active/current menu item in the body tag. This makes it possible to give each page a different color styling.
For native 1.5 versions of our templates we used of course the new template parameters feature for the template configuration. Example how the template configuration can look like in Joomla 1.0.x:
/* item color variation */ "item1" => "red", /* red | blue | green | yellow */ "item2" => "blue", /* red | blue | green | yellow */ "item3" => "green", /* red | blue | green | yellow */ "item4" => "yellow", /* red | blue | green | yellow */ ...

And the generated template HTML output can look like this, if you are currently in Home (item1)...
<body class="blue">...</body>

Background images can be set through Joomla!
Using the YOOmenu system background images can be set through Joomla! with the built in Joomla! menu image parameter. Now you can set an image to each menu item in the Joomla! menu administration and it will appear as the items background image.

After creating a new menu item open it again for editing. Now you can set an image to the menu item parameter in the parameters section. After saving the image will appear as background image behind the menu item.
