How do Dental Implants Work?

Monday, December 5th, 2011

Dental Implants work by acting as a replacement to lost or failing teeth to give you a full and natural looking smile once again. They are able to be administered as a single implant or multiple implants to suit your own specific needs and the procedure is very similar to any other dental procedure – so there is no need to start getting worried about how you will actually have these implants. We here at Nelson Road Dental Practice understand that many may be apprehensive about undergoing the implant procedure, and are able to provide useful information for those looking to have dental implants Kent.

When visiting us, all possible stress is taken away as Nelson Road Dental Practice and Dr. Mohsin Uddin are highly-skilled and experienced in this field, with Dr. Uddin himself being the youngest ever clinician to be accepted on to the highly competitive FGDP Diploma in implant Dentistry; being recognised as the Gold Standard in Implant Training by the General Dental Council. With Nelson Road Dental Practice you are assured to receive the dental implants Kent you really want.

The implants work by using titanium rods to act as a replacement for your natural root and support a crown so that they will look like natural teeth in your mouth. Virtually anyone can have these implants and upon deciding that this is the way forward for you and your mouth, we will provide an extensive consultation to assess your requirements and personal goals. In addition to this, we will take moulds of your teeth, a series of photographs and possibly a radiograph or CT Scan to fully understand where we can place a dental implant.

As also mentioned above, the procedure will be a comfortable one and will be carried out while you are awake, although sedation is sometimes used for nervous patients. You will be able to relax in our hands as we use the most advanced equipment and used air compressors whilst strictly following conditions set out by GDC and the Faculty of General Practitioners.

The success rate of dental implants Kent is reassuringly high, being proven to be 95% successful after a 10-year period and constantly increasing as technology and skills push forward. We here at Nelson Road Dental Practice are committed to using our expertise to keep pushing the success of this procedure forward and will continue to work with you afterwards by setting up regular evaluations with the hygienist making sure the implants are still working for you and that you are still smiling.

Planning Dental Implants in Kent

Monday, August 15th, 2011

Many of us feel self-conscious about our appearance, especially our teeth. If you have lost a few teeth, whether through illness or an accident, you will appreciate the stress and upset this may cause. Subsequently, we at Nelson Road Dental have found that those with missing teeth opt to have dental implants to restore their beautiful smile and confidence. Yet, as professional dentists, there are a few things to plan before choosing to have dental implants Kent.

The first factor to consider is the location of your dentist. Ideally you want somewhere which is easily accessible and local to you. There is no point choosing a dentist which is an hour’s drive away, as the last thing you will want to do after your dental implant surgery is to drive a long distance. In fact, here at Nelson Road Dental we would advise you to bring a friend or family, so that they can support you on the journey home.

In addition to the location, it’s also useful to select a dentist which you feel comfortable with. At Nelson Road Dental, every single one of our team are extremely friendly and approachable – with our main aim being to make you feel completely relaxed. To help achieve this, we have soothing music playing in the background and televisions located in the premises to enable you to feel more at home.

After your consultation, you will find yourself completely relaxed and comfortable in our safe and experienced hands. One way we aim to make you feel comfortable is by giving you the facts, as having an understanding of the procedure itself means that you have no fear of the unexpected.

If you are considering dental implants Kent, we would firmly suggest you seek a dentist with prior experience in dental cosmetic surgery. This way, you can relax in the knowledge that you are being cared for by a trained and experienced professional. If you would like further information on the services we provide, contact us today on 01634 851 317.

Smile Makeover with Cosmetic Dentistry Kent

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

In today’s society first impressions have become increasingly more important, regardless of whether it is your business or personal life. Being self-conscious about how your teeth look is only natural, as your smile is one of the first things which people tend to notice. Unsurprisingly, many people who suffer from crooked, stained or tooth loss tend to hide their teeth in an attempt to disguise them. Here at Nelson Road Dental we can offer cosmetic dentistry Kent  to remove any inhibitions you have about your teeth.

What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is very similar to cosmetic surgery, in that certain procedures (both surgical and non-surgical) are carried out to improve an individual’s physical appearance. There are various methods available for those looking to improve the way their teeth look, and as professional dentists with extensive experience, we can offer our clients various options to improve their confidence about how they look.

What Are The Types of Cosmetic Dentistry Available?

Tooth Whitening

Stained teeth can become unsightly, yet with our help they can be a thing of the past. We have various procedures available which can remove coffee and wine stains alongside the yellow discolouring which often occurs due to excess smoking and eating. You don’t need to be self-conscious about how your teeth look anymore, just contact the professional team at Nelson Road Dental to discuss the various options available.

Veneers

If you have crooked or discoloured teeth, then veneers are the best option available. The porcelain face means that you can have brilliant white and straight teeth in a matter of weeks. This is ideal for those who want the transformation to happen sooner rather than later.

Missing Teeth

Unfortunately missing teeth are very noticeable and they can have a big impact on the lives of those who suffer from tooth loss. Yet, implants are an effective way to restore your smile.

Replace Missing Gaps with Dental Implants Kent

Friday, May 20th, 2011

A phrase which can send fear through anyone at a wedding or family gathering is “let’s have a group photo.” It’s likely that within any group there will be those who the camera loves and vice-versa, whilst there will also be those who as soon as the camera comes out, head to the back of the group and grimace rather than smile due to missing gaps which become evident as they’re asked to say “cheese”. If you fall into the latter category, then dental implants Kent provided by Dr Mohsin Uddin here at Nelson Road Dental Practice could the ideal solution.

Dental implants act as a replacement tooth and ensure that from the moment the camera comes out, you’ll be able to confidently beam a shining smile.

What’s Required Before the Implants?

Before the procedure is carried out, a full consultation to assess your requirements, any deadlines you need them by, your medical and dental history, and your finances is required. This will also ensure that a unique plan can be drawn up.

During the consultation, moulds of your teeth along with a series of photos will be carried out in order to create a picture of the intended results, and to ensure that you have the implants which will improve your smile.

How Are Implants Fitted?

The process used to fit the implants follow strict guidelines set out by the GDC and Faculty of General Practitioners, meaning that you can rest assured that you’ll be getting the highest level of service to improve your smile.

The procedure for implants is very small and is carried out whilst you’re awake. A titanium rod is inserted to act as the root and this will support the crown to guarantee a natural look within your mouth.

Whether it’s a one tooth gap or a larger gap which needs to be covered, dental implants Kent provided by us here at Nelson Road Dental Practice promise to be the ideal solution, and with little to no discomfort felt following the procedure, you’ll be able to confidently flash your pearly whites as soon as you walk out the door. If you’d like a consultation or further information, please contact us via our online enquiry form.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

If you’re looking to achieve a gleaming set of white teeth, then teeth whitening may be an excellent option. As a pain-free and non-invasive treatment, it has become popular with all people wanting to easily improve the appearance of their teeth. If you are interested in teeth whitening Kent but are unsure about how it works, and what the treatment entails, then we at Nelson Road Dental are able to provide all of the expert information and advice you need.

There are several different teeth whitening methods available, and the best treatment for you will be dependent upon your own preferences. The techniques which we at Nelson Road Dental use include; BrightSmile TM, Wyten TM, Zoom TM, laser and home whitening.

If you’d rather opt for a method which you can conduct at home, then Smilestrips TM may be the perfect option for you. They work by coating your teeth in a whitening gel, which will begin to take effect over time. In just three days, patients can expect to start seeing real whitening results, without any pain or additional procedure. The strips can be moulded over your own teeth, for the best and most effective fit, all you’ll need to do is wear them for a minimum of 30 minutes each day for at least 14 days.

Like the use at home Smilestrips TML, most of the whitening techniques are carried out using an effective gel. This gel works to remove any stains from the teeth, leaving them looking brighter and whiter, for that dazzling smile you’ve always dreamt about. This is achieved by targeting stains which sit inside of the tooth enamel, and breaking them down by oxygen molecules form the gel, thus removing all dullness and successfully enhancing the appearance of the teeth.

If you want to wave goodbye to your yellow, stained teeth, then our teeth whitening Kent methods are ideal. To talk in greater detail about the different treatments and procedures which we are able to provide, then don’t hesitate to come and see us for a consultation, where we can advise you on the best whitening methods.
