Tooth implant
I am in need of a tooth implant due to some unfortunate dental work in the past and am very nervous after the last dentist can anyone recommend a good dentist who has done an implant for them and maybe tell me it's not too awful and painful ! Thanks in advance

Just to add a bit more info to this (I'm Lisa's husband) the friend who recommended Eugene Marais works for a company who supply implants for dentists to use. His exact words to me were "there are only 2 or 3 dentist that I know that I would allow anywhere near my mouth when it comes to implants". That's why we called in a favour with him, and Lisa went to see Eugene, even though it was a bit of a trek out to Essex.
My friend is pretty scathing of the regulation required for dentists to be able to call themselves "implant specialists". He jokingly told me it's only a 1 afternoon class where you practice screwing some implants into a piece of wood - then you call yourself a specialist. I don't think he was entirely joking!
So do your research - find out how long they have been doing implants, and what failure rate is. If they won't tell you the failure rate (or say it's 0%
) perhaps think about looking elsewhere...

I'm afraid not - I don't know much more than the above (which was a couple of years ago). I only could give that much detail because I just searched my text messages and found the conversation I had with my friend at the time!

I'm having some problems with my implant too and have gone to see a specialist at Nova Dental in East Finchley. She is very good and has given me a few options as my implant will need to be removed down to poor alignment by my previous dentist.
She also tried out a new no needle injection on me.

Tell me more Jojo please , I didn't even think about that what is her name and what does a no needle injection Involve I like the sound of that !
Thank you

If Eugene Marais is the one in Hornchurch, he's just been up before the dentists disciplinary board and is on probation for 18 months
https://www.gdc-uk.org/MembersOfPublic/Hearings/Pages/default.aspx?... (I've only skimmed it, long techy document)
So if he's brilliant, this is enough to put you off having it done at all.
