A woman in China has had dental implants fitted.

A woman in China who suffered from a severe facial deformity has been given dental implants by physicians to help correct her problem.

Wang Na, 22, was able to eat solid food for the first time in her life after the operation – which also included bringing forward her cheekbones to provide greater support to the face and transplanting both her upper and lower jaw.

“Wang couldn’t speak clearly or eat solid food. She seldom made friends and never looked into the mirror,” commented Wang’s foster mother Li Jingyun.

The procedure was one of seven surgeries she underwent and was carried out at the Fourth Military Medical University in Xi’an.

Elsewhere, two-time Snooker World Champion Alex Higgins is also looking to have dental implants fitted after it emerged that the 61-year-old has suffered severe tooth loss as a result of radiotherapy he underwent to battle throat cancer.

The snooker legend has been forced to eat baby food and is said to be extremely weak and this is why his former PA Will Robinson is now trying to raise £20,000 to help him afford the surgery.
