Implants

All work is thoroughly verified and tried-in before milling/casting.

About Implants

  • Dental implants are used to support one or more false teeth within a patient’s mouth.
  • Implants are not normally available on the NHS.
  • Implants are made of a titanium screw, which replaces the root of a tooth.  The dentist will decide if the patient’s jawbone is in good enough condition for implants to be suitable.  In some cases, grafting bone into the area is a requirement.
  • Implants are a safe and reliable treatment.
  • The life of an implant will depend on how well they are looked after, and the patient’s attendance at regular check-ups.  There are no life-time guarantees; however, if well- maintained, they can last for many years.
  • Implants, and the teeth they support, can be damaged.  Always wear a protective mouth guards when playing sports or involving contact or moving objects.

Implantologist

To find out more about implants speak to your dentist.  If they cannot do the implants themselves, they may be able to recommend an experienced implantologist for assessment and treatment.

I want to give my thanks to Steve and his team at ConfiDent Labs.

I started working with Steve on recommendation from a colleague.  Best decision!  His knowledge of All-on-4 cases is great, and he is very good technician.  I look forward to every case I do with Steve.

I have worked with ConfiDent for a few years now whilst managing at several local practices; communication between the practice and lab is always excellent and any issues are easily and quickly resolved. Patients have been invited to the lab to ensure the technicians achieve their desired result which eliminates any potential problems arising. My clinicians have had no problems working alongside ConfiDent and are very happy to continue doing so, and we also recommend the lab to new associates and specialists at the practice’.

Sally Stephens Practice Manager, Bupa, Sturry

ConfiDent Dental Labs are one of the best labs I’ve worked with. The level of care and attention given to every stage is second to none. Steve and the team are professional and very easy to work with. I will continue to use confident labs for a long time to come and recommend them to any dentist looking for top quality prosthetic work.

Ange Thompson Practice Manager - Total Dental Care Harley Street

I have used Steve Champion and his team at ConfiDent Laboratory exclusively, for many years to carry out my prosthetic work.  The quality of work that I receive is excellent, and I am always able to discuss cases when I have queries, concerns or need advice from Steve or one of his team.  I admire the fact that they are always embracing new techniques and are happy to share any that they feel may be of benefit to my patients.  The members of the support team are always helpful and accommodating, and they provide an excellent efficient and speedy collection and delivery service.

Christine Lupin BDS, LDS Dentist, Faversham Dental Practice

I have worked with Steve very closely for my ‘All-on-4’ cases for a year.  His work has been absolutely fantastic all the way through.  His knowledge on the work and components is exceptional, and I have had no qualms or issues so far.  I highly recommend this supremely talented technician.  I am sure you won’t be disappointed.

I met Steve and started using ConfiDent Labs about 3 years ago on a recommendation from my implant rep.
I had used many labs for immediately loaded implant prosthesis, but was never completely happy with the finesse of the work. I had a few problems, but was unaware of how to fix them.  It was evident on meeting Steve that his knowledge was vast. I feel that I learnt the technical side to a completely different level soon after we had completed a few cases.
He has tried everything, and over the years has selected what works well for both him and his clients.
Steve’s communication, and his availability to discuss anything - no matter how minor - is second to none, which takes a lot of stress away from me.  He has an in-depth knowledge of materials for every situation that work.

Steve’s cosmetics are unsurpassed, and he loves challenging cosmetic cases to get exactly what the patient and dentist want.  We’ve had a few cases where the racial gingival tints that he put in that were mind blowing.

Soon after using him for implant work, I tried out his denture work.  Again, this surprised me to the extent that I enjoyed receiving his denture cases because the fit and cosmetics were so predictable.  They renewed my faith in predictable, non- implant solutions.

I would whole heartedly recommend the lab to anyone interested in providing quality, high end work that makes both dentist and patients happy.

I have worked with Steve Champion since 2010, mostly creating teeth using the ‘All-on-4’ protocol.  During that time, Steve has always proved knowledgeable and willing to help solve any, and all, problems that come our way.  He is an excellent technician and a pleasure to work with.

In no small way, Steve is a factor in our success.

As a specialist restorative based practice, I have worked with Steve and ConfiDent Labs for almost 10 years now. The quality and precision of their work, combined with the personalised expertise and feedback that comes from Steve, has been remarkable.  The consistency that is always maintained is a testament for his diligent and meticulous work, and I cherish the continuing warm relation I share with him and his team members.  Excellent work!

Dr Akil Gulamali BDS, MFDS RCS (Eng), MClinDent, MPros RCS Ed Specialist Prosthodontist, Principal Surgeon, The Specialist Dental Practice, Weybridge Surrey

We have recently started working with Steve and the team at ConfiDent and have found that the attention to detail, and the quality of work produced, is on another level.  Their service is reliable, honest and of great quality.

Steve is always available to give advice and support, and to share his many years of experience.  I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to produce great quality work.

Mr. Conrad Nel BChD (Pret) Principal Dentist, Mckenzies Dental Surgery

My father was my dental technician for 21 years until he retired. At that point I had to find a new technician to do my denture work. I am pleased to say that I found ConfiDent Labs in Canterbury, just around the corner from my surgery. Steve Champion and his team have been my denture technician’s since then.

They are a very friendly group providing a fantastic service both clinically and delivery wise. I have found that many technicians look upon denture work as a poor relation to crown, bridge and implant work but this is not the case with ConfiDent Labs. I would definitely recommend them.
