In a recent study by UCL, shocking statistics were found on the levels of tooth decay and gum disease on footballers. The article was in The Telegraph. We have certainly seen decay present within the sports industry due to the diet that is often required for energy levels. For instance, energy sports drinks are FULL of sugar.

This was fine and provided a perfectly good, robust result. However, for front teeth especially, the aesthetics of such restorations were possibly not great. Today, we are … READ MORE

Dental implants are widely recognised as the best alternative to natural teeth. Implants can be used for single, multiple or all missing teeth. In this article, we would like to discuss the treatment called All on 4, which is designed to replace all missing teeth. The concept is simple. If you are missing all of your teeth on the upper, lower or both jaws then 4 dental implants on the upper and lower jaws can act as the anchors to replace the missing teeth.There is a great deal of planning involved and the… READ MORE
