Ann had not attended the dentist for a while due to her phobia. She presented with very loose lower teeth due to gum disease which needed removal and replacement. After careful planning including a ct scan the lower teeth were removed and replaced with implants at the same visit. At this visit a prefabricated lower denture was modified and attached to the dental implants. Ann had same day fixed teeth and is very pleased with her new teeth and smile. She is even more happy with her new confidence with her smile and attending the dentist.
Rik has just returned from a 3 day advanced course in advanced dental implant procedures in Frankfurt, Germany.
There he observed live surgery involving the most advanced procedures to treat patients with missing and failing teeth.
Patients attended with insufficient bone in areas requiring dental implants to replace missing teeth.
In the back part of the upper jaw a procedure called a sinus augmentation/graft procedure was carried out. This involved accessing and lifting the upper jaw sinus lining and placing an artificial graft material and occasionally simultaneous implant placement. The graft material encourages natural bone formation and this is allowed to heal with implant placement for about 6 months.
The best form of graft material is natural bone from the patient in another part of the mouth. In other areas with bone deficiency natural bone was taken either from the chin or back part of the lower jaw and fixated to the deficiency and allowed to heal. After 3-4 months this bone usually heals and corrects the deficiency to enable implant placement.
Where there were deficiencies making the area for implant placement too thin advanced procedures were learnt to expand the ridge avoiding a bone graft to allow simultaneous implant placement. Likewise where there were small deficiencies in bone height in the back part of the upper jaw simple techniques were observed to increase the height for simultaneous implant placement.
All in all a great 3 day experience which will benefit those of our patients with missing teeth, dentures and failed bridgework and crowns greatly in achieving fixed naturally looking and functioning teeth.
Martin had two loose baby teeth in the upper front of his mouth which needed replacing. In the same visit the teeth were removed and replaced with implants and a fixed adhesive bridge to restore his appearance whilst the implants heal. He talks about his treament. He had no discomfort and is very happy with his result. He would recommend this treatment to anybody who requires fixed teeth treatment at Parrock Street Dental Care
Betty Hull lower molar implant and crown in place in mouth
Betty was unhappy with the colour and appearance of her teeth including her large silver mercury fillings and missing tooth space. She had white fillings and cerec crowns, a dental implant and teeth whitening and is very happy with her result.” I am so glad i came here after visiting my old dentist for 20 something years and being unhappy with my teeth. In just one year i have never been so happy with my teeth and smile. Thank-you Rik
Kathy lost a back tooth a few years ago which has affected her chewing. She found our practice via our website and joined wanting a dental implant. She is very happy with her new tooth and says her chewing function has been restored thanks to Parrock Street Dental care in Kent.
Laura had been missing her back tooth for a number of years. She was always aware of the gap as it affected her smile, confidence and chewing. She was nervous and apprehensive before about dental implant treatment but is delighted with her new tooth. After having her teeth whitened and the tooth replaced, she loves her new smile and her new tooth-”it looks so natural you can’t even tell its an implant”
Chetan lost his back teeth due to gum disease. This made chewing more difficult. He was recommended to Parrock Street Dental Care by a relative.He was treated for gum disease, teeth whitening to improve the colour of his teeth and his back teeth were replaced with dental implant retained bridges to restore his chewing. He is very happy with the treatment he had, approximately 2 years ago at Parrock Street Dental care.
Rachel had lost 3 teeth in the lower jaw which for years has affected her smile, chewing and confidence. She is very happy with her same day implant bridge which has already helped make her feel better about her smile and confidence
Patricia had lost 2 teeth on the left side several years ago and had 2 dental implant placed by Dr Rik Trivedi. She has just completed treatment to have her lower right molar replaced with a dental implant and talks about her treatment with us.
She is generally a very anxious patient for routine dental treatment. But has found no problems with having her dental implant treatment which she says is just like routine dental treatment. She is over the moon with her new teeth
Please see below for Pat’s written testimonial.
” My previous dental treatment had put me off going regularly, and consequently I became really scared and so didn’t go for my regular check-up appointments. I was motivated to go to the dentist again because I had to repair the damage that I had caused to my teeth by avoiding the dentist.
After my first initial appointment seeing Rik I was made to feel safe and in good hands. Rik was different to my other dentist in the way that all treatments were fully explained to me and most importantly I felt at ease.
I now have NO problems in attending my dental appointments…..I can’t say that i love going to the dentist BUT Rik and his team try and make each experience as comfortable as possible.
My teeth have never looked better and I am over the moon. My dental treatment changed my life as I finally have confidence in my teeth.
My words of advice for other nervous or anxious patients would be to trust in Rik and after just one visit you will feel more at ease.
Exceptional is the word that sums up my dental experience!”
Pearl had a crown that had failed and needed replacing. She wanted the tooth replaced with the best option and we agreed she was suitable for an immediate implant. In one visit after careful planning the tooth was removed and an implant placed in the socket at the same time. As you can hear from pearl the procedure was very routine, done in under 1 hour and with no pain at all.
“I would recomment a dental implant at this surgery to anyone who needs a tooth replaced!”
