What is your confidence worth? At Lane Ends Dental Practice in Preston , Lancashire, we believe that there is no better time than the present to take a step towards the comfort and convenience of a beautiful smile, achievable through specialised and expert crafted cosmetic dental implants.

This implant creates a permanent space for a replacement tooth, as well as stabilises the jawbone so that bone density is maintained, and bone loss is prevented.

It has been estimated that over 20 percent of the population avoid going to the dentist out of fear. Some sources suggest that those who avoid the dentist may also suffer from poor health in general, which is no surprise given the links between poor oral health and heart disease, strokes, and diabetes, just to name a few. That’s why many dentists feel so strongly about prevention. It’s much easier to maintain a healthy body or fight against the early symptoms of disease than to treat it once it’s started.

In addition you’ll have a history together. “Your regular dentist will be familiar with wha...

Dental X-rays are important in the diagnostic assessment of patients. Radiographic images help in the diagnosis, treatment planning and follow up of patients with conditions affecting the head, face, teeth and jaw. While some dentists have long relied on 2-D imaging for diagnosis and treatment planning, this technology typically requires multiple exposures, and with them, multiple doses of radiation. Computed tomography (CT) imaging, also referred to as a computed axial tomography (CAT) scan, involves the use of rotating x-ray equipment, combined with a digital computer, to obtain images of Jaws/teeth. Using CT imaging, cross sectional images of body organs and tissues can be produced. Though there are many other imaging techniques, CT imaging has the unique ability to offer clear images of different types of tissue. CT imaging can ...

Tooth loss has a profound impact on the lives of people, it can be disabling as it is usually associated with an elderly population. It's easy to understand why dental implants have become very popular these days. The technology has advanced rapidly in recent years to provide a solution to the aesthetic, functionality and other health issues resulting from missing teeth. Implant dentistry is highly predictable, offers greater flexibility with regards to treatment possibilities, and can give patients fully functional teeth in as short as an hour with minimum discomfort. Most of us think of dental implants procedures as an advanced futuristic development in dentistry but conventional dental implants are not the ideal solution for replacing missing teeth as the healing process extends from 3-9 months and there is an additional failure rate varying from 5 to 10% depending on patients general health as well as the quantity and quality of the bone in the recipient site. Moreover, ...
