Carina attended our practice petrified and sweating. She had a very bad experience previously. She was experiencing lots of pain and discomfort from one of her teeth and also wanted to improved the health and appearance of her smile in general as she had not attended a dental practice for many years. After treatment she has regained her confidence in dentists and dental treatment and become a raving fan of Parrock Street Dental Care/ Kent Cosmetic Dentists.

Rik is attending the 3 day Dentsply Ankylos World Conference in Barcelona to keep up to date with the latest knowledge, techniques, methods and research in Dental implant treatments for our patients.
Among the topics discussed were:
1. Immediate placement of implants at time of teeth removal and where appropriate immediate restoration with a crown or bridge or dentures (Syncone Technique)
2. Syncone Technique- Immediate provision of fixed dentures by placement of 4 dental implants and fixing to existing lower or upper denture at same appointment to immediately solve loose, painful or uncomfortable dentures and improve chewing function.
3. Bone grafting techniques to replace missing bone to enable implant placement in sites where bone has been lost.
4. Optimum aesthetics of teeth and Dental implants.
5. teaching of implant restorative techniques to referring dentists at our practice.
6. Use of ct scan and 3D planning for implant placement.

It’s Sunday evening and i have just given him a courtesy call to check all is healing well. He picked up the phone in good spirits saying everything is great and he had not needed any analgesics since yesterday, one day after surgery!
This is the ideal treatment for people with failing or missing teeth! Same Day Fixed Teeth…..if this applies to you,ask us how?

Cliff had advanced gum disease causing extensive loosening of all his remaining top teeth and a poor appearance. His job involved sales presentations. He was extremely nervous and had not been to the dentist for years. The tipping point to attending for an appointment came when one of his upper front teeth just fell out. After careful planning with a Ct scan we agreed to remove all the top teeth, place 6 implants and definitive posts to hold a fixed bridge. He is over the moon with the appearance and overall result. He talks to us just 2 days after treatment at a review appointment.

“I’ve been taking an antibiotic an hour before my dental procedures for years and now all of a sudden i’ve been told that i don’t need to take it anymore……..why?
This is a typical question that we get asked from patients who were used to taking precautionary antibiotics.
Dentistry like other professions is constantly evolving therefore procedures and techniques change overtime depending on research and findings from governing bodies, such as The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE).
NICE set out new recommendations stating that “In the past, people at risk of infective endocarditis (infection in which the lining of the heart becomes inflamed) have been offered antibiotics when they have certain dental procedures. NICE is recommending a change in practice, so now you should only be offered antibiotics if the procedure is at a site where there is suspected infection. This is because dental procedures are no longer thought to be the main cause of endocarditis, and taking antibiotics carries its own risks.”
Should you have any worries or concerns regarding this information please do not hesitate to contact the practice.
Also you may consult your GP or hospital consultant as some situations may require you to continue taking antibiotic cover based on their advice.
Reducing the intake of antibiotics when not nescesary reduces the higher incidence of serious allergy reactions and antibiotic drug resistance.
