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

For patients who have not attended Aquae Sulis Dental before but wish to get more information about either dental implants or cosmetic dentistry, we offer a free initial consultation. You will be able to view the practice and meet the dentist, who can discuss with you what dentistry today has to offer. A full dental examination will NOT be carried out. Instead the dentist will have a brief look in the mouth to get an idea as to what treatments may be appropriate. The consultation generally takes 30 minutes and is held either just before lunch or at the end of the day.
At Aquae Sulis Dental we find that this is an excellent way to get an idea of the potential exciting treatments that are available without committing to having further treatment. It is a good way to see the practice and to meet the members of the Aquae Sulis Dental team; the experience is a very relaxed informal one. Hopefully, you will be impressed by what you see and hear such that, like many of our patients before, you go on to have treatment.
