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.

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.
Hazel broke her front tooth at gum level eating, a few days before She was due to be going on holiday. She was devastated with the gap and did not want to smile or talk in public.
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

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.
This patient attended yesterday with a broken tooth in the smile area. This is an increasingly common finding with old fillings, crowns and teeth in people of all ages. We now have the perfect solution!
Our patient is a very busy business man and he was keen to get the problem resolved as soon as possible with the best solution involving minimum time. He was seen and completed his treatment the same day. He was over the moon with the whole experience.
At Parrock Street Dental Care (www.parrockstreetdental.co.uk or www.kentcosmeticdentists.co.uk) we are one of only a few practices in the country who have a Cerec Machine- one of the most advanced methods of designing and producing crowns/veneers and half crowns (inlays/onlays) to strengthen and improve the appearance of teeth.
The Cerec machine uses CAD-Cam technology (just like how they make cars) to manufacture these crowns and veneers the SAME DAY in just one simple appointment. No impression is required as only a picture is needed and no unsightly temporaries or the inconvenience of being numb and attending for a second appointment.
During the appointment you may relax and watch a film/play/comedy/documentary of your choice from our broad selection with our in chair dvd entertainment system.
In short it is the perfect way of having the perfect solution to an age old increasing problem.
For more information just email or call our practice!
