The short answer to this is: yes. But lets look at what is involved in removing a dental implant and what consequences there might be to removing dental implants. Dental implants can be removed if they are infected, or in the case of a patient who I saw today: because the placement of the dental…
Essentially yes, we can remove dental implants but what happens next is not so simple. When we talk about implants its mostly in the light of them being a brilliant long term and more permanent solution a tooth. Despite this, sometimes they develop problems and they just need to be removed. Let’s first go through…
I have made a few videos about this subject in the past, and honestly, the response has been very mixed. Some people have been incredibly grateful that I have explained the difference with the treatments that you could get, while others have gotten angry because they think that UK dentists rip the UK public off…

The saving can seem dramatic, and because the websites look reasonable, it seems that there is no downside to doing this. As professionals in the UK, we see another side to this.…
Many of the patients I hear from online believe that the solution to their dental problems is to have dental implants. This may be true, but dental implants are expensive, they are not pleasant to have (I mean, no dental treatment is, really, is it?) and they take time. So it makes sense to ensure…
Having dental implant treatment is often more complex than people may initially think. Let’s take a look at dental implants in the front of the mouth.
