Changing lives, one smile at a time
Whatever the reason, be it injury, decay or old age, having missing teeth can be unpleasant and embarrassing in many ways and cause daily frustrations.
You may find you become self-conscious of your smile, can’t speak or socialise as confidently as before, and struggle to eat the foods you enjoy without pain or discomfort. A missing tooth not only affects your appearance and self-esteem, but it can also put a strain on your remaining teeth, worsening the outlook of your dental and general health.
At Green Square Dental Centre at Moorgate, they have a solution to fill the void in your life and give you a reason to smile again.
Under the care of principal dentist, Duncan Park, Green Square provide what has been hailed the gold-standard and most advantageous treatment for replacing missing teeth: dental implants.
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges which can be removed, leading to discomfort or irritation, dental implants are a more permanent solution whereby a titanium peg is surgically fixed into the jawbone to act as a root. Once integrated and healed, a custom-made crown or ‘tooth’ is made to match your remaining teeth for a flawless, natural finish.
Dental implants have a range of benefits to your oral health such as improved facial shape, speaking and chewing ability. Implants can also prevent further bone loss and retain mouth function without compromising the condition of healthy teeth. Filling the gap also enhances your smile and confidence without the need for messy adhesive or fear of movement.
At Green Square, they understand that choosing to have implants is not an impulsive decision. But if it is something you have been considering, they offer complimentary, no obligation consultations where you can visit the welcoming, homely practice, meet Duncan and his friendly team and discuss your options, timings and costings for your individual circumstances.
If you do choose to go ahead with the procedure, you’ll be in safe hands with Duncan who has a wealth of training, knowledge and experience in the use of implants. Along with a master’s degree in Implantology, Duncan regularly attends courses and conferences as a member of the ADI – Association of Dental Implantology – to keep ahead of techniques.
At a comprehensive planning consultation, Duncan will assess the condition of your teeth and surrounding bone and tissue and take X-rays of your mouth to devise a tailor-made treatment plan which will be posted out to you.
Depending on how many teeth are missing, this could be a single implant, a supported bridge or full arch for larger gaps, or even implant-retained dentures for more severe cases of tooth loss. For some people, visiting a dentist for just a check-up can be a daunting experience. But add the prospect of in-depth, surgical treatments into

it and it is bound to cause some nerves. But for those who have a fear or phobia, are anxious or extremely nervous, the Green Square team are also able to offer IV sedation to help you remain calm and comfortable throughout the procedure. After a few months of recovery, your smile and confidence will be restored and you’ll wonder why you ever put off replacing those missing teeth before.
