Dementia awareness among dentistry is becoming increasingly important. Therefore, we as a surgery have decided to take the necessary steps to work towards being a dementia friendly practice. We are doing this by: * Joining the Alzheimers Societies Dementia Awareness programme - Meaning we are Dementia Friends ... * We have conducted an audit to look for any shortcomings in the way we run our practice * We have an action plan to move foward * We are looking into joining Worthings Dementia Action Alliance * We have had recent training in how dementia affects people * We will continue to update on how we have improved our practice to aid people with dementia and their carers/family members feel more comfortable while they are with us.

Implant Procedure - Step 4 - Final Crown/Bridge fitting This is the final stage of the implant procedure. This is where the prosthetic that is being placed ontop of the crown will be placed. For example a crown, bridge or denture can be fitted into an implant. A crown or bridge will either be screw retained or cement retained. We mainly place screw retained one here however sometimes there is a rare occassion where screws are not possible and it must be cemented. However, t...his is the least favoured option. During the procedure the implantologist will take out the prosthetic that is to be placed and fit it in place mn the mouth aking any minor adjustments with their hand pieces. Once in place, they will ask you how it feels in the mouth. For example, they will ask whether you feel you are mainly biting on it or not. Once all minor adjustments are done they will ask if your happy and then if so they will finish off and it will be there permenantely. If youare not satisfied then it can be sent back to the lab to be remade or adjusted.

Implant Procedure - Step 3 - Taking Impressions This is the stage that will begin the procedure for making the crown to finish the implant. Firstly, the implantologist will select an impression tray that matches your personal mouth size so it is the most comfortable. ... Following this, the implantologist will place a special abutment into the implant which the impression will go round and show the laboratory exactly how the implant has been placed and give them a good idea on how to make the crown. Then, they will have their nurse mix the impression material and place it into the tray. The nurse will then pass that to the implantologist and place it into your mouth. This is uncomfortable for many patients but the best thing to do is just breathe through your nose and focus on your breathing and not whats going on. After this, they will unscrew the abutment so that the impression comes out. They will then send this to a laboratory where they will make the crown to fit on your implant.

Implant Procedure - Step 2 Placing the Implant - Part 1 This is the stage that the actual implant placement will take place. This can be from a week after the investigation to a few months (if there has been an extraction). This is quite a lenghty appointment. Usually, we will book an implant for 3 hours and it takes 30 minutes to set up for the procedure. However, don't be put off by the length of time that the appointment is sometimes it can take a much shorter time it is... just given to ensure there is no rush. The procedure is a very stop start procedure. This means that the implantologist will work a little then stop for a bit; possibly to take x-rays or prepare for the next stage, and then continue to work. During the placement the Implantologist will start off by creating a space for the implant to be placed into. This means that the implantologist will begin with a pilot drill to give a starting point as to where the implant will be placed. If a surgical guide was made then this would be used to accurately place the pilot hole.
