Dr.Vadgama qualified from University College London Dental School in 1981. The Royal College of surgeons awarded him LDS by examination in 1982. He is a fellow and Diplomat of the International Congress of Oral
Irnplantologist. He takes a keen interest in cosmetic & aesthetic dentistry and is a member of Association of Dental Implantology
(U.K) and Academy of American Aesthetic Dentistry (USA). Between 1995 and 1997, he completed a two year intensive training in Implant Dentistry and Restorative Dentistry at the prestigious Eastman Dental Institute for Dental postgraduate studies. In the early 1980's, he established two practices in Kent, when initially most patients received their treatment
from a public funded government system and before hi-tech modern technology and evidence based dental knowledge had made an impact on dentistry. Equipment and techniques we now take for granted had not even been thought
of, despite these limitations, Dr Vadgama quickly established both practice's that became known for their excellence and very personal relationship with each individual patient. Between 1995 to 1997, he undertook a programme to completely refurbish both the. practice's with the state of the art facilities together with the installation of hi-tech imaging equipment and the pursuit for excellence continues into the next millennium.
The Practice's Today ..
All of us at the practice realize that each patient has their own expectations and aspirations, fears and concerns - and that these, together with modern dental techniques determine the most appropriate treatment. You'll find that we spend considerable time making sure you know exactly what treatment we recommend, why we feel it is necessary, how long it will take, how much it will cost, and most importantly, the benefits you will feel and notice when it is completed.
It's Never too early..
Our youngest patients come in to look around our gadgets and play with the chair (to them it's a space ship) - at two and a half years of age. By the time they're three they thoroughly enjoy coming to visit us - there are not many places where they have so much fun and receive so much attention, and at the same time we check their teeth! Prevention is always better than cure, fluoride, and the fissure sealants we now use, ensure that fillings are hardly ever needed. But if they are, tiny white fillings set by magic lights are a fascinating experience.
Prevention...
Adult teeth can be saved. But it requires careful monitoring of both tooth decay and gum disease .With early remedial action there is no reason why most of us cannot keep our teeth for the rest of our lives - and avoid the anxiety of major treatment. And those of us who may have had a bad childhood experience need not worry - the modern. techniques in anaesthesia and sedation we use are both safe and comfortable.
Cosmetic Dentistry..
Not a specific treatment, but a description of the care we take to make sure any replacement tooth (crown or veneer) or filling looks completely natural. Each new crown must blend in with the rest of your mouth - subtle shades of colour need to he painstakingly reproduced; it must match in size and shape. Usually we use ceramic materials. Less of the tooth needs to be drilled (compared to an amalgam filling). We restore the tooth by bonding layers of natural tooth - a reconstruction that will be unnoticeable.
Implant Dentistry ..
Forty years ago losing all our natural teeth was normal. Dentures were very common - so much so that in many parts of the country a set were a present for a 21st birthday ! Today it is no longer necessary to suffer the loss of self confidence and the dietary restriction often associated with dentures - it is possible to
eat an apple in public without embarrassment.
