Roy Dixon is our Lead Associate here at the Dental Spa. With his wealth of experience and knowledge one of the most rewarding treatments he enjoys offering are Dental Implants, as these have the ability to give patients their smile back and also to chew foods well again by replacing missing teeth. A Dental Implant is a titanium post which is inserted into the bone where your previous tooth use to be, over a period of 10-12 weeks the bone then attaches itself to the implant making it the most permanent form of tooth replacement that Dentistry can offer and the closest option to having your own tooth back!
Roy has been offering these treatments since 2004 and with scientific progression over the years involving more innovative systems and technology available, has carried out more and more complex and challenging cases which provide him with a lot of job satisfaction.
One of these innovative options are using PRGF treatment alongside your dental implant placement. PRGF (Plasma rich in growth factors) is a regenerative medicine which aims to use your body’s own resources to regenerate tissues and improve how the body accepts the implant and heals following the treatment. This involves using the plasma from your own blood to extract growth factors and proteins which we can place around the implant at the time of placement to improve how your body accepts the implant and aids healing by assisting natural regeneration of your own tissues. The benefits of using PRGF for your implant placement are:
- Stimulates the healing process and regeneration of tissues
- Accelerates the integration of your implant
- Reduces any post operative inflammation and discomfort
- Reduces the risk of post operate complications
- Improves the health of affected tissues
- It is 100% autologous as it is obtained from your own blood
