Direct Access Hygienist Appointments - Lodge Dental

https://www.datocms-assets.com/8390/1708611169-ld_1020.jpg?auto=format&fit=max&w=1200

Nicky has a particular passion for working with nervous patients and has a calm, gentle and encouraging approach to her hygiene work.

> As a clinician, it is in my nature to be caring and supportive. I love being a Dental Hygienist and I have a real passion for helping and connecting with patients, I strive to make a positive difference every day.

# What is Direct access?

In 2013, General Dental Council removed its barrier to Direct Access for some dental care professionals after considering the impact on patient safety. Before then, every member of the dental team had to work on the prescription of a dentist. This meant that patients had to be seen by a dentist before being treated by any other member of the dental team.

Direct access means patients can see a hygienist without having to see a dentist first.

# Why would I use this service over a standard hygiene appointment?

Direct access offers greater choice and flexibility for patients, without having to have a check up with a dentist first.   It also offer patients the chance to try out the practice before joining as a patient.

# What happens during an appointment?

Nicky will start by checking your soft tissues and general gum health.  She will then assess your oral hygiene and offer oral hygiene advice. The appointment will finish with a thorough clean and polish of the teeth.

# How long will it take?

An initial appointment will last for 30 minutes although Nicky will let you know if further appointments are recommended.

# Will I have to see a dentist at some point?

Regular dental check-ups with a dentist are still advised and if the hygienist identifies any issues during the appointment, they will advise you to see a dentist.

# What will it cost me?

The appointment will cost £95.

# How do I book?

You can call our team on [01873 854711](tel:01873854711) and just ask for a Direct Access appointment with Nicky or book [online](https://lodge-dental-practice.dentr.net/).

Historically, patients who have been affected by white lesions on their teeth have either had to live with the lesions, or resort to invasive dentistry to mask them. 

Due to modern advancements in dental materials and techniques, white spots can now be removed in a truly minimally invasive way using resin infiltration.

Mike beat some fierce competition to have his work recognised by the panel of eminent judges – this is an incredible achievement and we are all very proud of him.
 
This latest accolade reflects the high standard of treatment we deliver at Lodge Dental. The talent of our team – as well as our world-class, state-of-the-art facilities – mean our Specialist Referral Centre is now being expanded, so we can help even more patients enjoy a better quality of life.

Christmas Opening Times

Why choose Invisalign instead of fixed orthodontics?

* Convenience – removable aligners can be taken out of the mouth while eating and drinking, to clean the appliance and during important activities. This not only makes them easier to keep clean and to undergo treatment around a busy lifestyle, but it also means you can have total confidence while straightening your teeth with little to no disruption of everyday life!

* For further convenience, your Invisalign treatment progress will incorporate various digital technologies. For example, we use state-of-the-art digital scanners to take an impression of your teeth and plan your treatment precisely – without the need for messy impression materials. There’s also a virtual care app that you regularly upload photos of your smile to so that your Invisalign Doctor can see how you’re getting on between appointments. This uses powerful artificial intelligence (AI) to make sure that your teeth are moving as expected. Plus, it means more time between visits and fewer trips to the practice for significant cost and time savings!

* Comfort – Invisalign aligners are custom-designed for your mouth. They also move the teeth gently to ensure as comfortable an experience as possible. Plus, with no painful wires that risk digging into the gums, the aligners are often more comfortable than fixed braces. 

* Speed – although clear aligners are not suitable for every patient, where they are appropriate, they can usually provide a shorter treatment time than conventional orthodontics. 

* Aesthetics – Invisalign aligners are total clear and nearly invisible when in the mouth. That means they are highly discreet and no one will know you’re wearing them unless you tell them!

# Lodge Dental Care Packs

All dental treatment delivered at Lodge Dental comes with the after care and support that you need to achieve and maintain the very best results. With Invisalign, we offer a free Lodge Dental Care Pack which is bespoke to you. Along with your first set of aligners, this box includes chewies to support proper placement of the aligners in the mouth, as well as a Zima Dental pod for ultrasonic cleaning of your aligners – and various other goodies to improve your treatment experience.

# Treatment tailored to you

We have already helped more than 500 patients improve their smile and their confidence. Our Invisalign team is led by Dr Chloe Harrington-Taylor, who is one of the biggest providers for Invisalign in the South West and Wales. With a strong academic background and extensive experience using Invisalign, our team can treat all manner of cases from simple to complex. They even teach other dentists how to become Invisalign Doctors. 

As with any dental treatment, your orthodontic journey will be unique to you. If you are given the option to choose between fixed or removable appliances, we can provide all the information and guidance you need to make the right decision for you. Just speak to our reception team or [schedule a consultation](https://lodge-dental-practice.dentr.net/) with an Invisalign Doctor to get started!

What the GDP needs to know about dental implants and how to restore them

https://www.datocms-assets.com/8390/1649068017-kjr01637.jpg?auto=format&fit=max&w=1200

# Course Outline

With an estimated 200,000 implants placed in the UK annually the need for the general dental practitioner to understand diagnose and maintain these is ever increasing.

This 1 day course (6.5 CPD hours) taught by Dr Ceri Owen-Roberts will not only cover the fundamentals of implant restorations and their maintenance but also all the skills required to start restoring simple implant restorations in your own practice.

- Types of implants and their design characteristics

- Assessing the health of implants

- How occlusion affects dental implants

- What are cover screws/healing abutments and how are they used

- Practical implant impression taking digital and analogue

- Screw retained vs cement retained implant restorations

- Abutment choices and communication with the dental laboratory

- Prosthetic complications and how to avoid them

Visit our [Lodge Training webpage](https://lodgetraining.co.uk/products/what-gdps-need-to-know-about-implants-and-how-to-restore-them) to register your interest.

# What’s the difference between our whitening treatments?
 
The difference between take-home and in-practice whitening is where treatment takes place and how long it takes to see results. For both, the process begins with digital impressions of your teeth and gums using our state-of-the-art iTero digital scanners. These impressions are used to fabricate custom trays that fit your mouth perfectly – the whitening gel is applied to these trays and placed over the teeth for whitening to begin.
 
If you choose take-home treatment, these trays will be fitted in the practice and you’ll be shown how to apply the whitening gel and place/remove the trays yourself. You will be instructed to treat the teeth in this way for up to 30 minutes twice a day for 2 weeks – so you can fit it around your daily life with ease.
 
In-practice treatment is just that – provided entirely in the practice. This involves a 2-hour appointment, during which your dental professional will apply the whitening solution (don’t worry, you’ll be in a comfortable position and you can still swallow as normal). Our comfortable chairs and big TV screens mean you can kick back, relax and catch up on your favourite show whilst your teeth are whitening. In-practicing whitening results are immediate and your teeth can become up to 7 shades whiter within just one appointment.
 
Both whitening treatments provide safe and effective ways to whitening your teeth.
 
# Professional versus DIY whitening
 
You will come across lots of ‘home remedies’ or ‘hacks’ for whitening your teeth at home online, especially on social media. It’s important to be aware that these are not always what they promise. At best, they will be completely ineffective. At worst, they can do significant damage to your teeth and gums, which may require extensive professional treatment to fix later on. Many of the products you can buy online contain questionable ingredients, including some that can cause burns on the gums or cheeks. We understand that cheaper prices may be tempting but DIY whitening is not always a cheap or quick fix!

What you might not know about Dental Implants - Lodge Dental

What you might not know about Dental Implants

https://www.datocms-assets.com/8390/1666252683-ceri-implant-3.jpg?auto=format&fit=max&w=1200

Here are some things about dental implant treatment that you may not have known:

# You can get full bridge implants 
A prosthesis (row of false teeth) can be attached to dental implant(s) to replace several or all of your upper or lower teeth. This may be a fixed or removable bridge. The second option means you can take the bridge out the mouth for easy cleaning. It then clips back into place securely for confident eating, speaking or laughing.

# One dental implant can support more than one prosthetic tooth
In fact, a single dental implant can anchor a prosthesis with several false teeth attached. The suitability of this treatment depends on many factors, such as location of the missing tooth and the health/volume of the jaw bone.

# Taking care of your implant(s) with regular dental hygiene appointments can help treatment results last for many years. 
While it is different for everyone, dental implants can last more than 20 years. However, this is only possible if you look after your dental implant(s) carefully. Ensure excellent at-home oral hygiene as well as frequent check-ups at the dental practice. 

# In some cases, you can replace a tooth with a dental implant in one treatment. 
Otherwise known as ‘same day teeth’ or ‘fixed teeth in a day’, this enables some patients to have a failing tooth removed, the dental implant placed and restoration fitted on the same day. With several experts in dental implantology and oral surgery at Lodge Dental, we can deliver this fast and convenient treatment safely and effectively to suitable candidates. To find out whether this could be an option for you, get in touch to book a consultation. 

# There are vegetarian and vegan treatment options available. 
Some patients will require bone or soft tissue grafting to be able to proceed with dental implant treatment. Traditionally, grafting products were derived from animal products, but there are now several vegetarian and vegan solutions available. To find out more about your options, speak to a member of our expert team.

Hopefully this gives you a little more insight into dental implant treatment and some things you may not have known. What is certain, is that every procedure is different. We always tailor treatment specifically for you. Your Lodge Dental dentist will discuss what you wish to achieve and plan treatment accordingly. By working together, you will be able to make the best decision for you. 

For general information about dental implants, please visit our [Dental Implant treatment page](https://www.lodgedental.co.uk/treatment/implants) or call or book a consultation [online](https://lodge-dental-practice.dentr.net/appointments).

**1. Keeps learning regular**
 
Joining study clubs ensures that you have allocated time in the diary for your continued learning and education. It also makes it easier to plan your time and schedule into the diary.
 
**2. It’s convenient**
 
For many professionals, study clubs tend to be more local than the national events so they are quicker, easier and more cost-effective to attend. Plus, they are usually held in the evenings or at weekends so they don’t impact time in surgery.
 
**3. Intimate group sizes**
 
Smaller group sizes allow for personal interaction with others and facilitates useful conversation or debate that everyone can benefit from. Where study clubs have a practical element, this also means that individuals have close supervision or support from instructors as they apply their skills.
 
**4. Learn from experts in their fields**
 
Study clubs provide a chance to hear directly from renowned colleagues across the profession. You can really engage with them, ask questions and share ideas for an enriched learning experience.
 
**5. It’s fun**
 
Networking is crucial in dentistry, so being able to meet new, like-minded practitioners who share your passion for clinical excellence is never going to be a bad thing. The informal setting also means that you can have a laugh with friends while learning from each other too.
 
# Lodge Dental Study Clubs – in a league of their own
 
Having already held a very successful study club, we are delighted to be presenting monthly study club events in our brand-new study suite and Lidstone bar. At Lodge Dental, we have an exceptional team of specialist and expert dentists who are only too happy to share their skills and experience with peers.
 
We would like to invite any local dentists who may be interested in advancing their skills with our experts to sign up to our training newsletter. We’ll keep you in the loop and let you know as soon as study clubs and other educational opportunities become available.

The schedule for our 2022/23 Study Club series is now live; book in now to [secure your place](https://lodgetraining.co.uk/products/study-club).
