Throughout the year Parrock Street Dental and Implant Centre holds a number of informative seminars and study courses in Implantology for fellow dental professionals who refer or want to know more about dental implants. Our hands on course for impression taking over implants is always well attended as it gives practitioners a feel for dental implant prosthodontics and often starts off their own provision of implants to their patients. All courses are CPD accredited and ample refreshment is provided.
Would you like to see how implants look and work and if they could be of any benefit to you?
We are holding free dental implant evenings so you can discover the best way to get your teeth back. The evenings give you the chance to meet Dr. Trivedi and the team and also gives you the perfect opportunity to ask any questions you have relating to your missing teeth. If you choose, you can also bring a friend or family member along to share the experience. Everyone is welcome.
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.
Veronica broke her upper front visible tooth eating so badly it required removal. She was very anxious about dental treatment. We agreed an immediate implant was her best option and she had the treatment with intravenous sedation and is delighted with her result.
” I would not hesitate in having another implant at all. I did not feel a thing!”
Yvette attended as an emergency patient recommended by her husband. She had retained baby teeth, 2 of which had broken at the front of the mouth affecting her smile and confidence.
She was due to go on holiday in a few days and needed a quick and immediate predictable solution.
Rik and Parrock Street Dental to the rescue with immediate implant treatment.
Sima wore an upper partial denture for years but this had started making her other teeth loose.
She had the missing teeth replaced with dental implants and is impressed with how natural her teeth feel and look.
” I would recommend dental implants for anyone missing teeth or wearing dentures and i would certainly recommend having them done by Rik 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.

John was scared of the dentist and had not attended for over 20 years. He was at a stage where all his back teeth had broken and his remaining front upper and lower teeth were decayed and wearing extensively. After his first visit at Parrock Street Dental Care with Rik he overcome his phobia and was comfortable with attending the dentist. He was able to have reconstructive treatment to replace his missing back teeth, increase his bite and a smile makeover to improve the colour and appearance of his teeth and smile. He has regained his self confidence and smiles effortlessly. ”Coming to this practice is lovely” See his video testimonial below.
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.
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!”
Sometimes patients have the mistaken notion that if they have broken their denture they have to see a dentist to get a new one, however that is not always the case. On many occasions a denture can be repaired or added to without needing any impressions by the dentist.
Colin has been a dental technician for over 30 years and thoroughly enjoys his job. He works Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings and is available to help repair and add to any broken dentures or replace any missing teeth onto a denture.
You do not have to be registered at our practice in order to use the services of our dental laboratory. You can bring your broken denture to us and after Colin has made an assessment of the denture we can advise you of the proposed course of action needed in order to fix your denture.
Just like an optician we recommend two pairs of glasses, We recommend that our denture wearing patients always have a spare set of dentures made, in the unlikely event that their permanent dentures are misplaced, dropped, broken etc….. they will then not have to go without any teeth as the process of making a great fitting and looking new denture can take a few appointments over the course of a few weeks.
As a fixed alternative to dentures patients may want to consider implant supported dentures or bridges
