No More Dentures or Missing Teeth!
Dr. Hilt Tatum is widely regarded as the
world’s most skilled and capable dental
implant surgeon by many dentists
knowledgeable in the history and
development of implant dentistry.
His clinical skills are legendary. For
nearly forty years there have been
countless reports from Oral Surgeons,
Periodontists, General Dentists,
Prosthodontists, and students at all
levels of competency, amazed by
direct observation of his unmatched
surgical and conceptual talents.
Dr. Tatum’s original contributions of bone grafting, sinus augmentation, bone expansion for thin ridges, implant design, clinical patient management, and sterile operating technique established the standards for the field of implant dentistry as the discipline matured.
Review of his complete curriculum vitae requires considerable time. In summary, he is a past President of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, the American Board of Oral Implantology, recipient of the Aaron Gershkoff Award and the Isiah Lew Research Award, a member and leader of many professional organizations. In 2004, Dr. Tatum was awarded the Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor by French President Jacques Chirac in recognition of his important contributions to the healing sciences.
However, Dr. Tatum’s most important contributions have been the gifts graciously given to the profession and his students,as he devoted an entire career to advancing the discipline of implant dentistry and teaching others the techniques he developed and perfected.
The lives of many patients and dentists throughout the world have been significantly enriched as a result of Dr. Hilt Tatum.
Our dental surgeons have been placing implants for over seventeen years and have trained and work alongside one of the world’s leading implant surgeons, Dr Hilt Tatum. Dr. Tatum's London Studio specializes in simple and
complex dental implant solutions from single tooth replacement to complete mouth restorations and reconstructions, often known as "The Dental Facelift".
Dental Implants are an ideal solution for replacing missing teeth, bridges or dentures and the next best thing to natural teeth. Dental implants are commonly small titanium screws that are placed into the jawbone to create a permanent new root. A natural tooth-colored crown is then placed over the dental implant.
- Improved appearance - Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth. Dental implants are designed to fuse with your bone, allowing them to become permanent.
- Improved speech - With poor-fitting dentures, the teeth can slip within the mouth, causing you to mumble or slur your words. Dental implants allow you to speak without the worry or the embarrassment of your teeth moving.
- Improved comfort - Dental implants become a part of you, which eliminates the discomfort of removable dentures.
- Easier eating - Sliding dentures can make chewing difficult. Dental implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain.
- Improved self-esteem - Dental implants can give you back your smile and help you feel better about yourself.
- Improved oral health - Dental implants do not require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does. The nearby teeth are not altered to support the implant, more of your own teeth are left intact, improving your long-term oral health. Individual implants also allow easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene.
- Durability - Implants are very durable and will last many years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime.
- Convenience - Removable dentures are just that; removable. Dental implants can eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of removing your dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep your dentures in place.
Our Prosthodontist is Dr. Sam Tadros. Dr. Tadros earned his specialist degree in Prosthodontics from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. He specializes in areas of prosthodontics including dental implants, bone grafts, sinus augmentation, full mouth reconstruction and overdentures.
