Toenail Reconstruction for Damaged or Fungal Nails

Restoring Confidence with LCN Wilde-Pedique Silver Plus

Damaged, thickened, or fungal toenails can affect far more than just the appearance of your feet. Many people feel self-conscious wearing open-toed shoes, going barefoot on holiday, or attending activities such as swimming or gym classes. In some cases, damaged nails can also become uncomfortable, difficult to manage, or prone to further trauma.

At Bailey Podiatry & Reflexology, we offer professional toenail reconstruction using LCN Wilde-Pedique Silver Plus β€” a specialist medical-grade gel designed specifically for damaged and fungal toenails.

What Is Toenail Reconstruction?

Toenail reconstruction is a cosmetic and protective treatment used to improve the appearance of damaged or misshapen toenails. Using a flexible light-cured gel, a realistic artificial nail is carefully created over the existing nail or remaining nail plate.

The result is a natural-looking toenail that is comfortable, durable, and tailored to the shape of your foot.

Toenail reconstruction can be suitable for:

  • Fungal toenails

  • Thickened or discoloured nails

  • Nails damaged through trauma

  • Split or partially missing toenails

  • Nails damaged following surgery

  • Brittle or uneven nails

Why Choose LCN Wilde-Pedique Silver Plus?

LCN Wilde-Pedique Silver Plus is a specialist product developed specifically for use on feet. Unlike standard cosmetic nail products, it is designed with nail health in mind.

One of its key benefits is the inclusion of silver microparticles, which help create a hygienic environment and make it particularly suitable for nails affected by fungal infections or damage.

The gel is:

  • Flexible and comfortable to wear

  • Breathable and lightweight

  • Durable yet natural in appearance

  • Suitable for active lifestyles

  • Designed specifically for toenails rather than fingernails

Because the material remains flexible, it moves more naturally with the nail and reduces pressure on the nail bed.

Is Toenail Reconstruction Suitable for Fungal Nails?

In many cases, yes. If a fungal nail infection is being appropriately managed, toenail reconstruction can dramatically improve the appearance of the nail while allowing ongoing treatment and monitoring.

It is important to understand that reconstruction itself is not a cure for fungal infection. However, it can help patients feel more confident while the damaged nail grows through β€” a process that can take many months.

Before treatment, your podiatrist will assess the nail to ensure reconstruction is appropriate and safe.

What Happens During the Appointment?

The nail is first carefully prepared and reduced if necessary. The LCN Wilde-Pedique Silver Plus gel is then applied and shaped to create a realistic-looking toenail before being cured under a specialist light.

The treatment is painless and usually completed within a single appointment.

Once finished, the reconstructed nail can be filed, shaped, and even painted with nail varnish if desired.

How Long Does It Last?

The longevity of the reconstruction depends on the condition of the natural nail, footwear, activity levels, and ongoing nail growth. Typically, reconstructed nails last several weeks before requiring maintenance or replacement.

Regular podiatry reviews are recommended to maintain both the appearance and health of the nail.

Who Should Avoid Toenail Reconstruction?

Although suitable for many patients, reconstruction may not be appropriate if there is:

  • Active infection around the nail

  • Open skin or wounds

  • Severe nail trauma requiring medical treatment

  • Certain underlying medical concerns affecting healing

A professional assessment will always be carried out before treatment.

Restoring Confidence in Your Feet

Toenail reconstruction can make a significant difference to confidence and comfort, particularly during sandal season, holidays, weddings, or special occasions. Many patients are surprised by how natural the finished nail looks.

At Bailey Podiatry & Reflexology, treatments are carried out in a safe clinical environment by a qualified podiatrist, ensuring both cosmetic appearance and foot health remain the priority.
