The Practice named The Centre for Implant and Reconstructive
Dentistry has emerged from a general dental practice
providing comprehensive care for patients over the last twenty
five years. The practice has now evolved into a referral practice
undertaking oral rehabilitation for a broad range of patients.
The practice is in a primary care setting in specially designed
premises. Patients occasionally find their way to us recommended
by other patients or via our web site, the majority of the patients
come to us referred by other dentists. These referrals may be
secondary referrals or tertiary and even quarternary referrals
on occasion.
The ethos of the practice originates from the
concept of total patient care entrenched in general dental practice.
Comprehensive assessment of the patient is undertaken and treatment
that is appropriate to the local oral health, general health
as well as the social circumstances of the patient is proposed.
The range of oral rehabilitation that is undertaken on the premises
varies considerably. It is largely implant based. Aspects of
dentistry not commonly practiced on the premises are referred
to appropriate health care workers. Replacement of single teeth
which can be aesthetically exacting in the front of the mouth
is undertaken as well as more advanced treatment. Patients are
often referred when advanced disease processes have taken their
toll and treatment may involve the reconstruction of the jaws
prior to restoration using implants and fixed restorations.
Implant supported removable restorations are also used providing
patients with tremendous benefit with minimal intervention.
Both the surgical and the prosthodontic aspects of treatment
are undertaken.
The aim of the practice is to provide care
to a very high standard, which is suited to the patients’
needs. The care of the patient remains a primary concern and
wherever possible treatment specific to the patient without
compromise is provided. |
