Implant seminar at the Royal Cresent Hotel
November 23rd, 2009
A FREE introduction to dental implants
On Tuesday 17 November we held the first in a series of initiatives to involve GDPs with Implantology. 32 dentists from Bath and surrounding areas visited the elegant Royal Crescent Hotel for our free seminar ‘An introduction to dental implants.’
The evening, supported by Astra Tech Dental, was an opportunity to find out more about the latest developments in the world of implantology, and to meet Dr Ian Bellamy from Aquae Sulis Dental. Ian presented the different ways in which GDPs can become involved with dental implants, for example:
- referring patients to an experienced implantologist who will perform both the surgical and restorative treatment for their patients
- Working closely with the implantologist and their own laboratory, to restore the implants themselves
- Those already experienced in restoring implants may wish to progress to placing implants themselves. This involves considerable training which is greatly helped by working with a mentor who is available to help with all aspects from treatment planning to the surgical procedure.
Ian shared a wide variety of case studies, including cases which were suitable for implants, as well as scenarios in which implants are not appropriate. He demonstrated how implantology can help build a general dental practice and continue to offer excellent service to patients, and delegates also heard from one of his current referring dentists, David Morley, with whom Ian has built a successful and mutually beneficial relationship.
In the course evaluation questionnaire, dentists were offered the opportunity to register their interest in the new Clinical Coaching Course which will be running from April, as well as joining the Aquae Sulis Dental Study Club where they can meet up to share cases. 15 have already registered interest in the Study Club with similar numbers wanting to join the Study Club. 23 said they were confident to start referring patients to Ian straight away.
The evening was considered to be a great success with 27 of the 32 delegates rating the overall event as excellent and the others classing it as very good. They were also able to comply with the latest GDC guidelines for maintaining their professional knowledge and competence and gain 1.5 hours of CPD.
If you missed the event, but are interested in becoming involved with implants, please call Ian on 01225 339767 or email him at ian@aquaesulisdental.co.uk

Yes, the seminar was really great…….
A really informative evening with excellent feedback. I learned a lot about implants and even managed to look at all the photos! A great launch for the new Aquae Sulis Dental brand with plenty more to come – congratulations to Ian and all the team.
Absolutely with you it agree. In it something is also to me your idea is pleasant. I suggest to take out for the general discussion.
You have some really good posts on here, however it took me a while to find this blog, why dont you promote this blog more often?
After reading you site, Your site is very useful for me .I bookmarked your site!
In some patients where bone loss is substantial, a bone graft may be required before placing a dental implant. Bone loss is a problem for people who have dentures, and as the shape of the jaw slowly changes, the dentures need to be adjusted or re-made to fit the new shape of the jaw.
Great article, a good dentist is hard to find these days.

I would suggest asking friends for a refferal when looking for a great dentist.
Great article. My dentist is local, amazing and not that expensive.
I have been thinking about purchasing some this for myself but I have been pretty sceptical about it and the results many businesses claim can be attained by using such products. Don’t get me started on my concerns regarding the health implications of it. Luckily most of the articles I read including yours have put my fears to rest ( a little anyway) and I think I might be ready for my first application. Anyway thanks again for taking the time to write this informative post.
