Kelvin loves being able to kiss his wife with confidence with Dental Implant treatment.
Kelvin wore a denture for over 30 years due to trauma to his teeth when younger resulting in tooth loss. With some simple treatment with dental implants he now has a fixed bridge which gives him fixed teeth to chew his food and restore his smile.

Ian suffered from advanced gum disease of his top teeth and his bottom front teeth. After discussing the options he was not keen on dentures and proceeded with upper full arch dental implant treatment and dental implants in the bottom front teeth.
He is very happy with the result and approximately 2 years later when his lower left back teeth were failing due to gum disease he insisted on replacing them with dental implants. Again he is very happy with the result and the service from Rik and the team at Parrock Street Dental.

Pearl has just completed her simple Dental implant treatment for replacing her missing back tooth. At the same visit the tooth was removed and replaced with a dental implant. Although she was very nervous and apprehensive before treatment on reflection She found the treatment easier than most routine dentistry and would advise it to anyone needing to replace missing teeth or dentures with a fixed solution.

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.
