Dental Trauma with St John's Dental Practise

For patients across Birmingham, this is a major life event. A variety of problems can all cause traumatic injuries but the solutions are often similar. The common feature is that a sudden change occurs that needs urgent treatment that can profoundly alter your smile.

The limited timescale, the costs, the emotional distress are all focussed on one event. We have the experience in dental implantology, cosmetic dentistry and endodontics to guide patients through a difficult time to maximise the end result and minimise the distress.

What To Do If A Tooth Is Broken?

Case Study

A 30 year old male patient lost four lower incisor teeth in a car accident 10 years ago. The insurance claim paid at the time assumed that dental implants could only be placed if a substantial bone graft could be moved from the patient’s own hip bone. Due to the extended surgery required the patient declined and settled for a denture.

Ten years later as a new patient to our practice, we used a new technique to image the bone and simulate some proposed implant positions. We were able to confirm that additional bone grafts were not required if the missing volume was replaced by pink porcelain to simulate the gingival tissues. Careful smile analysis showed that this would provide a good aesthetic result invisible to even close friends and family.

The implants were placed and restored as planned. During the implant healing time, the upper teeth were aligned, heavily filled teeth were crowned or veneered, the basic colour was freshened up by whitening. The end result appeared healthy, natural and fresh.

The case required cosmetic dentistry, invisible orthodontics, and implantology. We were able to provide all treatment under one roof with a clear coordinated plan.
