Are you missing one or more
teeth? Do you have difficulty
eating certain foods or speaking
clearly due to tooth loss? Do you
suffer from the discomfort of ill
fitting dentures?
Facelift without
surgery?
Implants are the way forward
Old to new
Dental implants have
many advantages
*Dental implants look, feel and
function like your natural teeth
*Dental implant allows you to
eat, laugh and smile naturally
*Healthy teeth do not need to
be ground down to support
dental implants
*Anchoring dental implants in
the jawbone stimulate bone
tissue arresting the ongoing
bone loss, which occurs after a
tooth is extracted, ensuring an
aesthetic result which help to
maintain facial structures
*Dental implants do not
require any adhesives to hold
the new teeth in place, and
eliminate discomfort and
insecurity of loose, ill fitting
dentures
* Last but not least; you get a
secure and permanent tooth
replacement
Replacing a single
tooth/Several teeth/
all of the teeth
*A dental implant is the
optimal solution for anyone
who is missing one or more
teeth
*There are two solutions when
several teeth are missing:
separate crowns on dental
implants or a bridge attached
to two or more implants
*When all of your teeth
are missing in either upper,
lower or both jaws you can
choose a full bridge supported
by dental implants or and
implant retained denture. The
implant retained denture is
easily removed but will remain
securely anchored during
function and you will be spared
the embarrassment suffered by
conventional denture wearers
when their dentures dislodge
during eating out, speaking
and laughing in company.
NO REFERRAL REQUIRED

Facial cosmetic surgery (face-lift)
commonly involves removal
of excess loose skin on the
face, neck and around the
eyes and tightening of the
soft tissues. A surgical facelift
is useful if someone has too
much loose skin and wants a
quicker improvement. It is not
effective for lines and wrinkles
for the upper part of the face,
or around the nose and mouth
areas. A facelift also does not
improve the quality of the skin.
The risks, costs and recovery
time can put some people off
surgery, and most are looking
for a natural youthful look.
So what does a “ no
surgery face lift” involve ?
If someone wants to have a
more natural youthful look but
does not want surgery, they
would need a combination of
cosmetic treatments. One of
the most exciting developments
that has taken place in the last
few years, is the lifting and
tightening of loose s kin on the
face, jowls, eyes and neck with
the Titan infra-red device. While
previously there was no option
other than surgery for loose skin,
now a simple light treatment
gives good results without
surgery or recovery time. The
infra-red light warms the deeper
layer of skin causing collagen
contraction and hence makes
the skin tighter. New collagen
is produced which lifts the face,
jowls and neck and the result is
a very fresher, natural look. The
skin surface remains unchanged

and there is no recovery
time, which people love. It
is a safe and comfortable
treatment which takes
about an hour. You can
see improvement straight
away, but the best results
are seen in approximately
2-3 months.
Titan has won the prestigious
“Aesthetic Trends & Technologies
Award” for best non laser for
wrinkles reduction, which is a
major achievement.
The common expression lines
and wrinkles on the upper face
(frown, forehead lines and crows
feet) improve dramatically with
Botox. Lines around the nose,
mouth and cheeks are reduced
with the natural Restylane filler.
All these treatments take about
30 minutes and people can
get on with their lives straight
away. The blemishes on the face
caused by ageing, such as age
spots, pigment marks, redness,
broken veins, open pores, and
dull skin can be improved by skin
treatments like Intense Pulsed
Light, Microdermabrasion or a
Facial peel which gives the skin a
youthful appearance.
Is Titan suitable for
everyone?
Yes. Anyone usually over the age
of 30 with loose skin on the face
and neck are ideal candidates.
You are never too old and even
70 year olds are being treated
with good results. It is popular
with men as it is a comfortable
treatment (no injections).All skin
types and even sensitive skin can
be treated.
