A Lifetime Helping Denture Wearers

Early in Dr Sebastian Riggio’s career, he recognised the frequent inaccuracies and serious shortcomings within modern prosthodontics — issues that, unfortunately, remain widespread today.

The problems he encountered

  • Ill-fitting, low-quality dentures that were unstable and inaccurate

  • Prolonged pain and frustration that prevented people from eating the foods they loved, speaking clearly, or smiling with confidence

  • Long-term damage to the jawbones, gums, and even the ears

Common symptoms patients brought to him

  • Shrinking (resorption) of the upper and lower jaw ridges caused by loss of the supporting alveolar bone over time

  • Misaligned bite (occlusal disharmony) placing strain on the temporomandibular joints (TMJs)

  • Severe ear pain (referred otalgia), often mistaken for ear infections

  • Wear or displacement of the articular disc (cartilage disc) within the TMJ, leading to clicking, locking, or persistent pain

How patients often had to compensate

  • Applying adhesive or glue to keep dentures from falling out

  • Restricting their diet to soft or manageable foods

  • Altering their speech patterns

  • Avoiding wearing their dentures altogether

Dr Riggio witnessed first-hand the emotional and physical toll these issues had on his patients — discomfort that limited basic functions such as eating and speaking, and in many cases, permanent damage to the oral and facial structures.

Because the mouth plays a pivotal role in the body’s overall function, these problems often triggered additional physiological issues — such as digestive difficulties (from inadequate chewing), headaches and neck tension (from bite misalignment), and even changes in posture and breathing patterns.

A revolutionary breakthrough

After 35 years in the profession and 20 years of dedicated research and development, Dr Riggio invented the revolutionary QiQit System and QiQdent products.

This unique system resolves many of the fundamental problems that modern dentistry has been unable to correct — and, in some cases, has unintentionally created. To date, every case treated using the QiQit System has been successful.

A return to clinical practice

Although Dr Riggio had stepped away from day-to-day practice to focus on education and research & development, he recently returned for a limited period to assist those who continue to suffer. Over the past 12 months, it has been profoundly rewarding for him and our team to witness the life-changing results in our patients.

Complimentary consultations and check-ups

Dr Riggio offers free appointments where he:

  • Listens carefully to your needs and experiences

  • Conducts a full clinical assessment

  • Provides clear guidance and direction

  • Answers all your questions in detail

These appointments can last between 1–2 hours, depending on the complexity and severity of the case.

There is no cost or obligation — only honest, expert insight from someone deeply committed to understanding and addressing these challenges.

“My mission is to resolve every problem that is brought before me.” - Sebastian Riggio
