Sunday, April 26th, 2009denture-retained implants
Sunday, April 26th, 2009Dental Implants are a fantastic treatment option to replace missing teeth.
The benefits of implants are:
- good retention of a crown/bridge/denture
-maintain bone
We are aware that not everyone can afford having full mouth implants to replace all their missing teeth. Therefore one of the options we can offer is denture-retained implants.
This type of treatment is great because
- it can suit your budget
- it will greatly improve the fit of your loose dentures
- it will maintain your bone height
This treatment involves placement of about 4 implants on your top or bottom jaw and then a denture is made to clip onto the implants.

Teeth damaged by fizzy drinks and smoking
Sunday, April 26th, 2009A recent tv programme on channel 4 highlighted the damage that fizzy drinks and smoking can do to teeth and gums.
FIZZY DRINKS
Not many people are aware that fizzy drinks, even diet ones, can seriously damage their teeth. A 500 ml bottle of coke has 50 spoonfuls of sugar!!! It is not just the sugar that damages the teeth, but also the acid present in the drinks. We are seeing more and more teenarges with worn teeth and this tooth wear is due to the amount of fizzy drinks they have.
SMOKING
It has been shown that smoking worsens gum health. There are so many harmful chemicals in cigarettes that can cause so much damage to our general health. The more specific damage to the teeth and gums are:
- staining
- gum disease
- impaired gum healing
- mouth cancer
For more advise on a healthy diet and on stopping smoking, come and see us and our wonderful hygienist, Rebecca.

Sunday, April 12th, 2009Happy Easter from the Dental Suite in Loughborough
Sunday, April 12th, 2009WE WOULD LIKE TO WISH YOU ALL A LOVELY EASTER! HOPE YOU ARE ALL ENJOYING THE EASTER HOLIDAYS!
This Easter, at the Dental Suite in Loughborough, Kal and I thought of a new way of promoting good oral health. We have been giving out Easter eggs containing toothbrush and toothpaste. We wanted to promote the message that a chocolate treat is allowed if you follow the following advice:
1- brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice a day
2- visit the dentist and hygienist regularly
3- cut down the frequency of sweet treats
4- have a sweet treat only at meal times
This idea was very popular among patients, children and adults alike and got a lot of interest from the local media
