Dental Implant Help Pages

What is on the Implant help pages

The help pages will expand as referring practitioners take on more of their own implant restorations. The help pages presently available are as follows:

We present some simple restorative techniques for implants. In many ways the restoration of implants is easier than natural teeth and this is discussed in the help pages.

We have not attempted to cover the subject of implant planning or more advanced techniques such as soft tissue management etc. The intention is to present some simple practical techniques which will allow referring practitioners to restore straightforward cases in their practice.

Where there is doubt please contact us for advice.

Simplifying the Restoration of
Dental Implants

Where you wish to restore your own implant cases we will refer your patient back to you ready for restoration and with all surgical stages completed. To make the process as simple as possible we will send a letter which sets out the following:
• The components you will need to order
• An estimate of the costs of the components
• A contact number for your order
• A recommended dental laboratory who is familiar with the type of case
• Links to pages of this website which show the techniques you will need
• A recommended fee to your patient

To download and print an example letter please click here.

In addition you will need a prosthetics kit, if you do not already have one we can arrange to lend a kit to you. Please let us know if you will need to borrow a prosthetics kit.

What sort of Dental Implants are used

We use Neoss dental implants. Neoss are the only British Implant company and have a long history of evidence based success.

There is some very useful information on the Neoss sites for both dentists and patients, please click here to go to their website.

What is different about Implant techniques?

You already have most of the skills you need because a good deal of the restorative side of implants is conventional. These pages will therefore concentrate on the differences between conventional and implant techniques.

For straightforward cases the major differences are the impressions, final fitting of the prostheses and management of the occlusion. Most other techniques you need are conventional. For example for a single tooth you will need an opposing impression, an interocclusal registration and a shade just like you would for a conventional crown. In some cases you may need a facebow recording but these considerations would be the same as for conventional crown and bridge work.

Implant Terminology

The confusion of terms in implantology is unhelpful and remains a barrier to dentists beginning with implants. For example the word "abutment" seems to mean whatever you want it to mean. However implant restoration really is much simpler than it first sounds and we have tried to resolve the confusion about terms in the glossary.
