Posts Tagged ‘Dental Implants’

Dental implants are an increasingly popular choice for my patients as I’ve been doing a lot of them recently.
So I thought it was about time I posted a few case studies. Here they are:
Tooth replacement and smile makeover: Case Study
A full set of replacement teeth: Case Study
Implant bridge: Case Study
Implant retained dentures: Case Study

Just recently we’ve had an unusual number of patients coming in with serious problems with single front teeth. Perhaps it’s something in the Essex water!

Among the causes of these problems are

sports injuries (eg getting kicked in the face playing rugby)
‘other’ injuries (eg falling down the stairs or sliding on the ice)
old crowns that have [...]

Is it possible to walk into a dental clinic and have all your old broken, unsightly teeth replaced with shiny white new ones supported by titanium implants all on the same day?
The answer is yes in many cases – providing the case has been prepared carefully in advance.
Over in the States ‘immediate implants’ (also known [...]

Did you know that dental bridges have been around for over a century?

But when I discovered my aunt had been [...]

I well remember my first denture lecture as a keen young trainee: The denture-department head stood up in front of us at the top of Guy’s Tower and said:
“Before I begin, don’t you lot ever forget one thing: dentures are only ever better than nothing at all!“.
And this from the head of the [...]

The stress and worry during a complex dental case isn’t only felt by the patient – as all sorts of pressures, not least that of expectation, can fall directly on your friendly dentist’s shoulders.
But its worth it!
As a cosmetic and implant dentist, the greatest feeling in the world is when a mouth has been transformed [...]

The field of dental implantology is in its youth. The first implants were put in only 25 or so years ago – and many of them are still giving good service to this day.
But being a relatively new treatment (compared to say, fillings which have been around since the turn of the century) implant treatment [...]
