Same Day Implant Full Loading Services

“After a long history of dental complication, resulting from a childhood accident. I finally have a permanent set of fixed implants that not only feel strong and correct in my mouth, they also look great, just like a fine set of healthy teeth.

Thank you to all the team for their hard work and dedication.”

The most fashionable solution for the replacement of missing roots and teeth are the dental implant crown, known as an ‘implant’.

Ideal for the loss of individual teeth or an entire set, an implant enables the perfect restoration of the mouth to its natural look, feel and working function; perhaps even better than the original, bringing a new confidence, chewing ability and improved overall health.

Quality Dentistry = Long-Term + Sustainable + Good Value. (Rehabilitation is a Program)

Implants are the best alternative for:

1. Missing or failing teeth
2. Loose dentures
3. Gums with infection that have caused failing teeth
4. Implants can hold a single tooth or multiple teeth

Our expert clinicians implant a titanium post or the latest ceramic post into the old root site making a new artificial root. We then handcrafted a ceramic crown becoming replacement tooth, this is then attached to the implant by a screw or a cushioning cement.

With the Same-Day Treatment, the artificial implant root is only used on that day if the implant is properly supported by the bone on surgical placement. This results in minimal trauma to the tissue, creating the best long-term healthy outcome with maximum non-traumatised healthy capillary blood supply.

Treatment Expectations

Patients coming to us for dental implants; will have a thorough treatment plan drawn up, with impressions taken alongside the necessary scans. Our state-of-the-art 3D imaging machine will guarantee absolute precision. How you feel as a patient is our absolute priority, so rest assured you are in the safest hands.

Our dedicated on-site laboratory has won many awards for creating crowns of natural appearance. Colour flows, depth and cracks are handcrafted into the design of your new porcelain teeth to include artificial gums, if it is needed.

We are proud to say the level of service and knowledge our integrated service provides is rare in the dental world. This is why dentists from across the UK refer their patients to us for implants, All-on-4 and complex cases, ensuring no headaches and long-lasting results from a choice of the best materials.

The skills of our leading Clinicians and Master Technician means you do not have to have gaps in your mouth; so no more false teeth or painful headaches and jaw tension. We are very often able to provide a level of treatment and outcome where previous dentists considered treatment not possible.

Reasons to have an Implant

• No more gaps, missing or compromised teeth
• Superior option to dentures as fixed and sturdy, creating a younger appearance with no movement or discomfort
• Alters your face shape if you are concerned, everything in the right place – jawbone and teeth, reducing the ageing effect
• Lost tissue can be re-contoured to reduce food-packing and increase aesthetics
• Bone loss in the jaw is halted and can be grafted back to full health if need be
• Eat food you may have avoided for years
• Teeth that can last a lifetime – figures show that 96% of implants remain while only 75% of natural teeth remain
• Smile, speak, laugh and eat with confidence
• The perfect match and fit for new crowns and missing roots, crafted by the only Vita-accredited Master Technician in the UK
• Enjoy socialising and eating out again
• Achieve natural-looking teeth and the smile you’ve always wanted
• Remaining teeth are untouched
• No plate in the roof of your mouth
• The strongest and longest-lasting restorations a dentist can offer
• Easy to maintain

Alternatives to Implants, not everyone can have them!

• Add on teeth to existing implants
• Add on teeth to existing crowns
• Removal solutions with minimal soft tissue coverage for easy cleaning
• Adhesive patented bridges that are placed onto your tissue and removed once a day for cleaning ( Maxi-Stick Bridge)
• Discrete removal Cobalt Chrome, artificial replacements that can be easily cleaned and help to save the spaces ,sharing the load amongst your existing teeth not looking artificial

Recommended Patient Journey for Diagnosis

• Decide on a comprehensive or single tooth diagnosis approach, as it can be as simple as an x-ray( recommend a Dental MOT)
• Diagnose how much bone and what quality bone you have remaining and how many teeth it is best to replace in that bone
• Decide on how best to harvest and save your bone without bone grafting prior to having a failing tooth extracted
• Then we calculate what load you will need to carry on your newly proposed tooth treatment using simple dental design principles
• Decide on a treatment program to stage your budget to achieve your chosen dental goal
• Recommended to have back teeth replaced first so carrying the working load away from your front teeth
• Lack of back tooth support will always need to be monitored more carefully as teeth can move and drop if they are left freestanding
• Plan the make of implants to best support your dental gaol, a key factor being long-term maintenance. Ceramic Implants (made from Zirconium oxide) and metal implants called Titanium implants they have advantages and disadvantages individual to your own biology
• We then discuss if you would rather be sedated for the treatment
• The amount of time you can invest into your treatment can influence your healing time, from Same-Day Treatments to long-term healing processes (up to 6 months for the implants to take into the bone properly), these all have advantages and disadvantages
• Our principle is to save existing teeth but rid your bone of all infections, in and around the site of implant placement

Warning issued by dentist against ‘Turkey teeth’

NEWS

  Posted by: The Probe      7th August 2019

One of the UK’s top cosmetic dentists is warning people against travelling abroad in the hope of a cheap fix after seeing a huge rise in ‘Turkey teeth.’

Dr Ken Harris, who runs the multi-award winning Riveredge Cosmetic Dentist in Sunderland, has seen a massive rise in people needing remedial treatment after travelling to Turkey for cosmetic dentistry. He is urging people to think twice before agreeing to bargain price veneers, which can cause a huge amount of damage to teeth.

“We have seen a number of people who have gone to Turkey and then decided to have their teeth done, or booked a travel package which includes some kind of cosmetic treatment,” said Dr Harris.

“The results in some cases have been horrendous. The teeth are ground down to virtually nothing and then in some cases it is crowns, not veneers, which are being fitted and then the patient comes home and realises how many problems they now have.”

Dr Harris is also concerned at the “assembly line” approach of some clinics, where people are literally in and out in a few hours.

“To get this kind of treatment done takes time if it is done right,” he said. “It’s impossible for veneers to be fitted in a few hours and this is why people find they need a huge amount of work done to have them corrected, although in some cases their teeth are completely ruined.”

He advises anyone thinking about travelling for this kind of treatment to get proper advice and do their research before making the decision.

“While it may seem a very good deal, in the long run it can set people up for problems that they might never recover from,” said Dr Harris.

Riveredge Cosmetic Dentistry has a world-wide reputation, with Dr Harris (BDS, MFGDP, FFGDP RCS (Eng), MSc Restorative and Aesthetic dentistry) one of only two Fellows of the British Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry (BACD) and a regular lecturer to dentists around the globe.

He is recognised as one of the leaders in the field of cosmetic dentistry, often being brought in by other practices to handle complex cases.

The strong team at Riveredge includes Dr Richard Coates BDS (UNcle) Pg Dip CID, who chairs The North East Private Dentists group, is a long standing member of The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and holds a diploma in implantology from Newcastle University.

From: Rita Bowser

“I would like to provide you with my feedback on the recent replacement of a crown which had broken.

As you will recall, I am new to the area. I lost the crown during my move, and had a temporary fix put in place by dentistry. I was not happy with the work, and looked for another dentistry that understood the importance of the technical and cosmetic solution.

Illume was that right dentistry. Sarah Moore and her associates reviewed the problem with me and discussed a range of options for the replacement crown. We agreed upon a solution, and Sarah then arranged for me to personally visit the Implant & Ceramic Centre Ltd for customising my crown. It was important that this crown be made just right – it was the interface between two other teeth of different shades – I referred to it as my “transition tooth.” TJ at the centre understood perfectly, and worked with me to not only have a comfortable fitting crown, but one that was the right shading (actually a variety of shades to look natural and transition). He shaded and fired the crown until we both thought it was just right. Sarah put it in place. After the first day or the rest of my life with it, I can tell you I am happy (those who know me will assure you that I don’t say that lightly).

My personal thanks to everyone at Illume and the Centre who took the care to make this experience a positive one.”
