A common problem we are presented with is the replacement of loose lower incisor teeth. These teeth are often the 1st to show the affects of advanced gum disease and can look unsightly and feel uncomfortable.

At Advance Dental Clinic we can use implants to replace these loose teeth. The 4 lower front teeth are carefully removed and 2 implants placed. these are then restored with 4 fixed temporary teeth left inplace for 2-3 months before the new porcelain teeth are fitted permanently to the implants.

This week at Advance Dental Clinic one of our patients used our low cost finance facility recently arranged with Medenta Finance. This has helped her afford the extensive treatment she required to improve her smile using a combination of dental implants and porcelain veneers. The application process was very straightforward and completed and accepted in a mattr of minutes.

Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in our various low cost and interest free finance options

Today I saw 2 patients who have dramatically improved their quality of life with a very simple procedure.

We use just 2 dental implants to anchor a lower full denture in place, holding it firmly during eating and talking to enable the patient to carry on life as if they had their own teeth back in place.  This cost effective treatment is available now at Advance Dental Clinic, please call us if you would like further information

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 week the youngest member of our team, Abby became a fully fledged qualified Dental Surgery Assistant after passing her qualification exams. Abby who normally works with Viola now has extensive experience in all aspects of the practice from Orthodontics to Implantology

Well done Abby from all the team

Today Vicki and I visited 2 of our referring practices to see patients in need of dental implant treatment. The 2 practices are in Kent, so it is sometimes easier for the patients to see us in their own practice so we go travel to them.

We have over 30 dentists referring their implant patients to the practice as well as accepting new patients directly to our clinic.

Today we saw a delightful lady from Ongar who had fractured an upper tooth below the gum line. The tooth could not be saved so after taking a CT scan of the area we carefully removed the tooth and placed a dental implant. We then made a provisional tooth and fitted it to the implant to fill the space. To find out more about dental implants visit our dedicated site www.advanceimplantclinic.com

This week a gentleman from Suffolk attended requesting we replace his loose upper denture with fixed teeth. After extensive planning we constructed a computer guide to place 6 implants in the upper jaw. We then fitted a pre-made provisional bridge, all on the same appointment carried out under local anaesthetic.

Today a patient form Sudbury in Suffolk came to the practice and received 6 implants withoput the need to open the gum. We used a precise computer generated guide to place the implants using a key hole approach to minimise any discomfort over Christmas. the whole procedure took around 1 hour to complete and the patient who arrived with a full upper denture left with a fixed upper bridge.

Today at the practice Andrew saw a patient from Kent who needed all her upper teeth removed because of persistent gum infections. The lady was quite nervous so we carried out the implant treatment under intra-venous sedation with our Anaesthetist, Ingrid. The whole treatment took only 1 hour to complete and the patient left the surgery with a brand new smile held with 6 implants.
