Andrea Ubhi and Adam Glassford have launched their new book – The Essential Guide to Dental Implants.
The guide is for dental professionals and patients covering the whole dental implant journey.
It includes stories from a surgeon’s perspective and highlights the pitfalls referring dentists and patients should know.
‘Did you know that the biting force of natural teeth is approximately 150-250 psi?’ Dr Ubhi said.
‘This can drop to 5.6 psi with full dentures.
‘No wonder some of our edentulous patients are struggling to maintain healthy nutrition and great health into old age.
‘This is reducing the lifespan of patients, with some research suggesting by a shocking 9.8 years!
‘Missing teeth is a massive epidemic that is having serious consequences on our nation’s health.’

‘Every week we have patients who are overwhelmed at the positive change in their lives due to having missing teeth replaced with dental implants,’ Adam Glassford said.
‘Just this week, one patient said he couldn’t stop eating apples, as he’d not been able to eat them for decades!
‘However, there are pitfalls and costly mistakes to be avoided for implants to be successful.’
