Dental Implants

Tooth loss can be damaging to both the long-term oral health of a patient, as well as their sense of self and self-confidence.

A missing tooth can lead to further problems in the future; not only does it affect your ability to chew, but the remaining teeth may shift around and interfere with your bite, they are also more likely to wear and break, and the jaw can also suffer from bone loss. The loss of a tooth can have obvious aesthetic implications and can reduce the support for your lips and cheeks.

For these reasons, Kit is always keen to stress the importance of replacing a tooth wherever possible: not only will it help restore function to your teeth and prevent any further damage to the mouth, but it will also restore your confidence and bring back your smile.

Dental implants are an increasingly popular choice when it comes to replacing a missing tooth or teeth, and for good reason. They provide a stable and more comfortable alternative to dentures and other more traditional forms of restoration and are extremely durable. Made up of a metal post or frame that is placed into the jawbone and the prosthetic tooth that is then affixed atop it, dental implants require a healthy jaw and gums to be successful in the long-term.

With his background in Implantology and training from both the University of Bristol and King’s College, London, Kit brings a prodigious amount of experience, skill, and precision to every dental implant he places.

Implantology

Implantology is one of the fastest-growing areas of dental care and can have a real impact on the lives of patients living with missing teeth.

Implantology refers to the replacement of teeth with an implant which is then able to act as the new ‘root’ for a prosthetic tooth. Implants serve as a long-term solution to tooth loss and the majority of patients find them much more comfortable than other dental restorations such as bridges or removable dentures.

Kit received his Master’s degree in Dental Implantology from the University of Bristol and has since gone on to teach on the course, as well as lecture in the field. As such, he is a profoundly qualified implantologist with experience in dental implants , one who is able to combine rigorous academic knowledge with clinical professionalism and care for his patients.

Kit’s expertise in this area extends to a variety of dental implant procedures as well as the careful removal of teeth that cannot be saved. In addition, sedation can be offered.
