Kay Dagger - Administration Manager

Our aim is to provide high quality care and treatment in a relaxed, comfortable and safe environment. We are committed to continuing education and keeping abreast of advances in modern dentistry. To ensure we maintain the high standards our patients have come to expect it is becoming increasingly important for us to accurately match the number and the needs of our patients to the resources we have available.

Research shows that preventive dentistry delivered on a regular basis greatly reduces the risk of dental disease and provides a platform for a lifetime of improved oral health. We encourage such an approach and with this in mind, we have joined with DPAS Limited to design a dental plan to reward loyal patients.

This plan will be administered by DPAS who will make a separate arrangement with you to manage your payments under the plan. The plan will provide advantages both to you and to us. It will allow us to plan your dental care more effectively and provide the best chance of keeping you dentally fit.

The advantage for you is that it should reduce the need for future treatment and you will have the peace of mind that all of your preventive dental care will be covered by convenient monthly payments. Our plan also provides worldwide Supplementary Insurance for dental emergencies or dental injuries whilst at home or abroad.

The many uses of implants.

Implants can be used for all kinds of restorations. Unlike a traditional bridge, a single implant restoration replaces a tooth without the need to grind down the adjacent teeth. Bridges anchored with an implant are free-standing and do not rely on the support of the surrounding teeth. Fixing a partial restoration on implants also avoids the need for less esthetics anchoring methods, like clasps.

Solutions made to last.

Regardless of the cause of tooth loss, dental implants can be a simple, proven and lasting solution for restoring teeth. After a thorough examination of your previous medical history, your dentist can advise you on whether dental implants may be the right solution for you. Anyone who is missing one or several teeth because of injury, disease, or tooth decay is a candidate for dental implants. There is no upper age limit. In fact, the deciding factor is that the jaw is no longer growing and that there is enough good, healthy bone to permit placement. If the amount of bone is inadequate, it is also possible for the bone to be built up.

Nevertheless, heavy alcohol consumption, smoking, diabetes, or other clinical conditions may interfere with an implant’s integration process and its ultimate long-term success. People who grind their teeth at night must also undertake a careful evaluation with their dentist

When are prosthetic solutions used?

Prosthetic solutions are used to replace damaged or missing teeth. New dental crowns and bridges are individually designed and supported by either remaining natural teeth or dental implants. Prosthetic solutions are available for a single tooth, several teeth, or a full jaw.

What is an implant?

Dental implants serve as artificial roots, firmly anchored into the jawbone, that support removable or fixed tooth replacements.

When are implants appropriate?

When one tooth or several teeth are missing, or when the whole jaw is completely without teeth. Various treatment processes and implant solutions are available that take the medical and personal needs of the patient into account. The dentist will advise the patient on the optimal solution.

Why is placing an implant recommended?

Dental implants ensure that the jawbone remains functional and help prevent further bone loss. This reduces the risk of a chain reaction, which, in the most extreme cases, can result in the loss of all teeth. Dental implant treatment can restore the patient’s natural appearance, self- confidence and ability to eat the things they like.

What material are implants made of?

Dental implants are made of commercially-pure titanium – a material proven to be accepted by living tissue (biocompatible). Adverse reactions to titanium are extremely rare.

How long do implants last?

With proper care and regular checkups, your implants can last for a lifetime. Many patients have had implants for 15 years and longer. The likelihood of an implant still being fully functional after ten years is greater than 90%.

What are the age limitations for implants?

Typically, implants are not placed in individuals whose jawbones have not yet fully developed. But, good health is a primary deciding factor. In healthy older adults, the prospects of success are virtually the same as for younger people.

Is implant treatment unpleasant or even painful?

No, implants are generally placed under local anesthesia. Placing the implants involves minimal discomfort for the patient.

With implants, how long do I have to wait for my new teeth?

In ideal cases, some implants can be restored right after the implant is placed, during the same visit. This means that you can leave your dental professional’s office with a temporary ,or even permanent, prosthetic in place. In most cases, you will have to wait until the implant is sufficiently bonded to the bone.

Will I be able to feel the implants?

Once placed, implants cannot be felt. Titanium implants are completely biocompatible and very well-tolerated by the body. The same applies to all-ceramic replacement teeth.

What does tooth replacement cost?

Everyone is different. As a result, the cost of the implant procedure and preparation of the tooth replacement will differ as well. For this reason, it is not possible to give an all-inclusive cost estimate.

An attractive smile reflects a healthy life.

Attractive, natural-looking teeth help us look and feel our best. They let us enjoy the foods we love. And they allow us to be naturally confident where it really counts: at home, on the job, or on the playing field, but especially on the inside.

Why you shouldn’t ignore missing teeth.

The loss or damage of even a single tooth can have a considerable impact on everyday life and self-esteem. People lose their teeth for many reasons. Sometimes due to an accident, or illness. Other people simply inherit poor teeth. Whatever the reasons, the consequences can have a negative impact on your quality of life. You may no longer eat many of the foods you once enjoyed. Self-conscious about your appearance, you may even stop laughing and smiling spontaneously.

Fortunately, modern dentistry offers a variety of ways to restore damaged teeth or replace missing teeth.

Long-lasting solutions with modern dental technology.

What are replacement teeth?

Dental crowns and bridges are replacement teeth that are individually designed to look and feel like your natural teeth. These can be placed on natural teeth or implants.

Enjoy life to the fullest.

Attractive, natural-looking teeth play an important role in our general health and well-being. You look and feel confident when smiling and laughing with friends and family, anytime and anywhere. Strong teeth enable you to eat favorite foods; so important when maintaining a healthy diet.

There are many reasons why people lose more than one tooth, such as illness, an accident or simply inheriting poor teeth. This can have a serious impact on your quality of life. And it determines how you approach y our continued dental health in the future.

Your dentist has the solution that is right for you.

A ceramic bridge is used to replace any tooth that is missing or beyond repair. It is individually made to match the shade and contour of your natural teeth, so practically no one can tell the difference. There are two methods to replace missing teeth, depending upon your individual circumstances.

1. Bridge on natural teeth consists of high-strength dental ceramic. Built with natural- looking replacement teeth, it is anchored to the adjacent teeth. To secure the bridge, the adjacent teeth must be reduced in size. Certain conditions are required when this method is used. This method does not solve the problem of further bone loss.
2. Bridge on implants uses modern technology. A durable bridge with natural-looking teeth is securely positioned on dental implants. Healthy, adjacent teeth are left untouched. Dental implants are strong, biocompatible fixtures made of titanium, that act just like natural tooth roots.

Your teeth do not stand alone. They are part of a complex, integrated system. That is why each individual tooth plays such an important role. Every single tooth ensures, for example, that the teeth in front and behind stay aligned.

When we chew, a healthy tooth strengthens the quality of the jawbone and helps prevent bone loss. Missing teeth, on the other hand, can cause the jawbone to shrink. Physical changes to the face are a frequent result. You begin to look older than you really are.

Fortunately, modern dental technology can bring your life back to normal again. By replacing missing teeth, gradual bone resorption can be stopped. As a result, further potential tooth loss can be prevented. In fact, with the right care and expertise, you can have teeth that are strong and that look and feel natural.

Why old fashioned dentures are not the answer.

Unsecured dentures are an old-fashioned solution for people who have lost all of their teeth. Unfortunately, you may find that wearing unsecured dentures can be painful, inconvenient and awkward. Such dentures make it difficult to chew a variety of foods, which can stop you from eating many of the foods you once enjoyed. Wearing dentures may also affect how you pronounce words, and therefore the way you speak.

Your dentist can help with modern implant solutions.

A variety of modern dental implant-based tooth replacement solutions are available. Any of these solutions can dramatically improve your quality of life; such as enabling proper chewing and speaking, increasing comfort and self confidence, and encouraging the consumption of a wider variety of foods. Ask your dentist for the solution that is right for you.

Your dentist has the solution that is right for you.

Removable implant overdentures provide stability where new teeth are attached to two or more dental implants, making this a cost-effective option. You can chew with confidence a variety of foods and your sense of taste is unaffected. Your teeth can be removed for cleaning and the need for denture adhesives is eliminated.

Removable overdentures on an implant bar. For an even more secure fit, a dental bar is fixed to your jaw bone with two or more implants, providing stronger support for your removable dentures. Your new teeth can be removed for cleaning and the need for denture adhesives is eliminated.

Fixed implant supported bridges are a more durable solution with natural-looking replacement teeth, secured on four or more dental implants. This solution stimulates bone maintenance, restores chewing function, and maintains taste sensation.

Are you living life to the fullest?

Attractive, healthy teeth play an important role in our general health and well-being. You look and feel confident, free to laugh with friends and family – anytime and anywhere. There are many reasons why people lose their teeth, which can have a strong impact on your quality of life.

Missing teeth can cause bone loss and the jawbone to shrink. This is because the bone is no longer stimulated when you chew food – something that happens routinely when you use your natural teeth. This causes physical changes to your face. Your jaw line shrinks, causing dentures to lose their fit. They often slip, cause pain, or even become embarrassing. That is why attractive, healthy teeth are important for health and overall well-being.

If you are missing one or more teeth, then you may be a candidate for dental implants and natural teeth restoration.

Are you ignoring missing teeth?

Check with your dentist, to prevent further oral health complications that could affect remaining healthy teeth.

Do you suffer from headaches or migraines?

Often missing teeth affect the positioning of your other healthy teeth, causing a misfit of the upper and lower jaw, causing stiffness in the muscle and joints. Often, restoring missing teeth provides relief of these symptoms.

Has your facial silhouette changed?

Missing teeth can cause a loss in bone density, because the bone is no longer stimulated when chewing. The jaw line changes and shrinks, making you look older that you really are.

Do you wear dentures?

If so, you may experience problems with an insecure fit, or embarrassing situations and pain. Implants are a good option because they act like your own natural tooth roots. They can support dental crowns that look and feel like real teeth.

Unhappy how your teeth look?

Some teeth may be discolored due to medications taken as a child. Or your teeth may not be perfectly aligned, affecting your smile or facial profile. Ask your dentist for options available for a beautiful smile, using all-ceramic prosthetic solutions.

Real natural tooth function.

Restoring teeth has been a mainstay of modern dentistry for many years. But only after the advent of dental implants and ceramics have patients been able to enjoy restorations that feel, function and look like natural teeth.

Limitless possibilities.

Modern dental restorations are supported by either the remaining natural teeth, dental implants or any combination of the two.

Materials of choice.

Titanium is currently the most suitable implant material. Titanium implants are biocompatible and do not trigger any allergic reactions.

The ceramic materials used in prosthetics are also 100% biocompatible. All-ceramic materials do not cause any allergic reactions, and sensitivity to heat or cold are a thing of the past.

Quality of life.

Modern dentistry is undergoing a rapid advancement of solutions and products to satisfy all patient requirements, improving daily chewing function and restoring personal appearance.
