This week a patient from Chelmsford was referred to the practice with a loose front crown. He had a holiday booked for 2 weeks on Sunday so was desperate to get the front tooth fixed before his holiday. Unfortunatley the tooth required removal so we arranged the treatment today where we removed the tooth very carefully and fitted an implant and a provisional tooth at the same time, in time for his holiday in the Alps.

This weekend one of my old gold fillings fell out leaving me with quite a large hole in my tooth.

My colleague James saved the day with an all ceramic filling using our CEREC machine and the tooth has settled down very well.

It was quite strange being on the other side of the fence, especially being numb for most of the day, I think my patients thought I’d been drinking!!

It was interesting to hear the comments on the recent ITV programme regarding the safety of amalgam fillings.At Advance Dental Clinic we stopped using amalgam nearly 6 years ago and have felt that the less amalgam put into peoples mouths and therefore the enviroment the better,

We have excellent alternatives such as CEREC for larger fillings and white resin fillings for smaller cavities

Feel free to call us if you have any concerns over the safety of whats in your mouth.

Big snow fall in Chelmsford today but all the team made it in. Unfortunately Viola was stranded In Hungary but she’ll be back in Wednesday
