Dr. Nigel Jones is passionate about pursuing excellence in dental implantology. He acts as a mentor to many of his peers in his role as President of The British Society of Advanced Dentistry as well as dentists who refer implant patients to him. An international speaker and lecturer, Dr. Jones also believes in imparting his knowledge and experience to the next generation of dental implantologists, as Cohort Director for the FGDP (UK) Implant Diploma at the Royal College of Surgeons, London.
Dental implants provide the only reliable, permanent solution to tooth loss. They look, feel and function like normal teeth, so have both practical and cosmetic benefits. When one or more teeth are missing, the jawbone around the gap begins to shrink. This can cause a change in the shape of the face and other issues. Dental implants help to prevent facial distortion and further tooth loss, as well as restoring the patient’s confidence, smile and ability to chew.
The treatment process is relatively pain-free and straightforward, and patients have the option to be sedated under a local anesthetic. Following a small surgical procedure, the dental implant which is made from titanium – one of the strongest materials in the world – is skilfully screwed into the jawbone by Dr. Jones. The implant stimulates and maintains the bone around it, providing a strong and stable foundation for the patient’s abutment and new dental crown.
