Springmount Dental Practices, based in Chesterfield and Matlock, offer the exciting possibility of entering their practice with a full mouth of missing teeth and leaving with a complete set of sparkling new prosthetics in a matter of just a few hours!
When you lose a few teeth or your entire set, it can significantly affect your physical and mental well-being. In addition to presenting challenges with chewing or speaking, it can also give you the look of premature aging.
All is not lost, however! Same-day dental implants are the pinnacle of modern-day dentistry and can provide you with beautiful, functional teeth within the space of a few hours. This treatment is transformative and can massively boost your overall quality of life, and help you regain that delightful smile.
Dental implants delivered to the highest professional standards
Having opened in December 2017, Springmount Dental & Aesthetics is at the forefront of complex high-end, innovative dentistry and is experienced in carrying out hundreds of cases of dental implants to the highest professional standards.
Dr Malcolm Campbell, who is co-owner of Springmount Dental & Aesthetics with his wife, Katie, has a special interest in dental implants and has been awarded a Diploma in Implant Dentistry from the prestigious Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh. He has undertaken extensive training in providing complex techniques to enable the practice to offer the full choice of implant options – from a single tooth, bridges, to ‘All-on-4’ (full mouth). So, clients who wish to find an alternative to dentures, or are in the process of losing a tooth, can rest assured that Dr Campbell and his team will help them every step of the way. For Dr Campbell, the training never stops. A recent advanced, up-to-the-minute, course in intricate and sophisticated full arch dental implants is testimony to his commitment and passion.
First stage – assessment and planning
Starting the journey…
The initial consultation is with a dedicated treatment coordinator. For the Chesterfield practice, the treatment coordinator is Emily Swallow, whilst at Matlock the role is fulfilled by Sinead Tabor. Available on a business mobile phone, they are an immediate point-of-contact to discuss anything that may be of concern. From scheduling appointments to providing care and on-going support, as well as handling finances, they are there to make sure that patients have everything they need during their time at the practices.
During the initial meeting, which is completely complimentary, patients can discuss their needs and aspirations with either Sinead or Emily in a relaxed, informal, and friendly manner. With an emphasis on making patients feel at ease, there’ll be a review of current medical records, as well as a holistic overview of general health matters. With a view to optimising health prior to surgery, aspects of nutrition, diet, vitamin D levels, and overall wellbeing will be discussed in depth.
Using a combination of the latest state-of-the-art CT scanner and 3D printer, detailed photos and scans of the teeth will be taken in readiness for analysis by Dr Campbell.
Clinical assessment with Dr Campbell
The next step is an in-depth clinical assessment with Dr Campbell. After analysing the results of the scans in detail, Dr Campbell will present the dental implant options available, and, in conjunction with the patient, formulate a suitable treatment plan.
Each treatment plan is bespoke and tailored to the individual patient’s needs. With Dr Campbell, patient care and after-care are at the core of everything he does. His ethos is based on exceeding patients’ expectations and going ‘over and beyond’ to achieve the optimum dental solution.
Presentation of treatment plan, consent forms, and booking of surgery
Dr Campbell will present the treatment plan, inform the patient in a relaxed and informative manner as to what they might expect, and what they need to do pre- and post-surgery.
Patients will have opportunity to ask as many questions as they would like. The financial side of the treatment will be explained, and, once the patient is completely satisfied with everything, the treatment will be signed off, and same-day surgery awaits!
Second stage – same-day dental implant surgery
With the help of the CT scanner and 3-D printer, the dental implant surgery – whether it be whole mouth, single arch, all-on-4, or single tooth, is digitally guided to ensure accuracy, optimise safety, improve speed, and achieve best possible outcomes.
Before the surgery, the prosthetic teeth are designed to the most exacting detail.
On the day, a highly experienced and sympathetic Consultant Anaesthetist sedates the patient in readiness for surgery. During the surgery, Dr Campbell, a highly skilled and talented implant dentist, makes a number of tiny incisions in the gum, where the implants are inserted. Then, a custom-made, temporary bridge is fitted to the implants to support them. This bridge is usually replaced three to four months later with a long-term bridge.
Within half a day, the patient can leave the surgery with a brand-new set of gleaming teeth, as well as a beautiful smile. But the care doesn’t stop here! The patient is given careful instruction on how to look after his new teeth in the days to come.
After-care
After-care is arguably the most important part of the process. Advice on teeth cleaning, mouth rinsing, pain relief, and dedicated hygiene treatments is as important as the surgery itself.
After about 3-5 months, the temporary bridge is replaced with a long-term bridge.
