In this episode Brad talks about Dental implants, the subject Brad did his Masters Degree in. A dental implant is used to replace one or more missing teeth. The teeth are permenantly fixed to the implant (most of the time) and they’re the most life like version of missing teeth that dentists can provide for patients.

Whether you have treatment coming up and want to know more information, or curious about what options are out there for cosmetic dentistry, Lets Talk Teeth with Brad will give you the knowledge you need to make decisions about your dental care and oral health. Presented in an easy to understand way, the purpose of the show is to inform and empower you, the patient, to have the confidence about your treatment and take control of your dental health.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
A dental implant is used to replace one or more teeth that are fixed in (most of the time) and they’re the most life like version of missing teeth that dentists can make for patients, they look the same and work like our natural teeth.
There are a few instances where dental implants won’t work for you, and you should talk to your dentist about these. For example: Smoking reduces healing potential, If you’ve got or had gum disease and your bone density. 
Dental implants can really have a major impact on people’s confidence and quality of life.
Go to see a dentist and talk about payment plans, there are affordable plans that can work for most budgets, it’s not as prohibitive as you might think. Even though it might cost £2000-£2500 for a single tooth implant, it isnt twice as much for 2 or thre times as much for 3. Don’t avoid going becasue you think you cant afford. Find out how much your treatment costs first.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Do email me with any specific questions about dental implants because treatment plans can be quite complicated.’

‘See the hygienist regularly to make sure the implants are looked after. It’s like getting your car serviced, they’re not perfect forever and they need maintenance.’

‘Bone grafting may sound scary, but it can be a simple as placing it from a packet around the dental implant to give a bit more bone volume.’

‘Dentistry takes us so far, the rest is engineering.’
