Committed to Creating CONFIDENT SMILES
GRANTHAM’S DENTAL HEALTH AND IMPLANT CENTRE AIMS TO PROVIDE A PAINLESS, PRECISE AND PERFECT OUTCOME TO CREATE A MORE CONFIDENT HEALTHY SMILE...
A S MILE ISN’T JUST COSMETIC. A healthy, confident smile can go a long way to making you feel good. The trouble is, many of us have outdated and wholly incorrect ideas about modern dentistry.
Grantham’s Dental Health Centre, run by Colin Sutton with dentists Simon Reeves and Elisa Lago Garcia alongside their team is one of the best and most modern, well-equipped, user-friendly practices offering everything from general dentistry to the latest cosmetic treatments, all virtually pain-free in a contemporary, well-equipped practice.
With such a vast array of treatments on offer, it’s difficult to know which treatments would best suit your needs. That’s why Colin Sutton has enlisted the help of treatment coordinator Paula Parkes to provide free, no obligation consultations so potential patients can discuss the options available to them. Paula can assess the potential for improving the appearance of your smile, then talk through viable treatments so you can make an informed decision about the procedure, time scale, cost and benefits.
“There are really three aspects of the practice which we think benefit our patients most,” says Colin. “The first is adoption of technology like our Cerec ® machine which makes creating crowns and veneers much faster and easier with 3D scans and computer controlled fabrications
milled to sub-millimetre accuracy for the best fit.” “The second aspect we’re proud of is an approach which puts the patient first, promoting a relationship between dentist and patient which inspires trust.” “But above all, it’s our team which we’re most proud of. The whole team is committed to patient care and to creating a professional, stress-free experience. That’s the most meaningful feedback we receive and it’s the standard by which we judge our performance.”

Massive rotator cuff tears in the over 70’s. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?
Mr Alun Yewlett, consultant Orthopaedic surgeon explains “I’ve been told I’ve got a massive rotator cuff tear that’s been there for at least 6 months and can’t be fixed now. The NHS tells me I can have a reverse shoulder replacement if physiotherapy hasn’t sorted me out, but I don’t feel ready for metalwork yet. Is there anything else that can be done?” This is not an uncommon scenario that I see in many of my NHS shoulder clinics. The combination of an active and aging population coupled with increasing waiting times on the NHS means that many patients will find themselves faced with the stark choice of living with a painful shoulder or being forced to undergo a major shoulder replacement operation by the time they see a specialist. This is not an unreasonable option and when done by abhigh volume consultant surgeon with specialist fellowship training yields excellent and predictable results, but many of my patients ask if there is anything else that can be done that is less invasive. There are a number of cutting edge techniques available for massive rotator cuff tears at the Avicenna clinic which are not widely available on the NHS. One such technique is the Inspace balloon. This is an operation I have been doing for many years. This has started since I trained under Mr Matt Ravenscroft, a world leading arthroscopic surgeon who had great results with this operation and I think it has a role in selected patients. In simple terms, when the rotator cuff is torn the humeral head is pulled upwards by the deltoid muscle which is no longer being counteracted by the deficient rotator cuff. This can cause pain when the humeral head rubs against the undersurface of the
acromion. This can lead to the humeral head becoming “decentered” and the control of the shoulder is affected. The balloon procedure is a straightforward day case procedure that can be done to try and help with a painful rotator cuff tear. A balloon is put into the subacromial space and inflated. It effectively acts like a “waterbed” to help stop the painful rubbing of the humeral head against the acromion. It also helps to keep the humeral head centred on the glenoid (the socket) of the arm bone which can allow patients to rehabilitate the shoulder and use the deltoid muscle more effectively. The balloon is biodegradable and will disappear within 6 months and does not burn any bridges to come back to an arthroplasty solution in the future. In select cases, The balloon insertion can be done in conjunction with a suprascapular nerve ablation. Two of the rotator cuff tendons of the shoulder the supraspinatus and the infraspinatus are innervated by the suprascapular nerve. This nerve also supplies pain from the shoulder (glenohumeral) joint. When both of these tendons are irreparably torn it is possible to ablate this nerve with the aim of taking away the pain stimulus from the shoulder. This means that these two
tendons cannot work normally again once the nerve has been surgically ablated but as the tendons are already torn and can’t be repaired there is no real functional downside to doing this.
There are also a number of biological treatments that can be considered. I work in an internationally recognized centre of excellence for cartilage regeneration and am delighted to be able to bring some ofthese cutting edge techniques to the Avicenna clinic.
Lipogems is a technique whereby fat is harvested from the abdomen and then processed and injected into an arthritic joint and is an ongoing subject of research study as it appears to reduce arthritic pain significantly in many patients. It also doesn’t burn any bridges so arthroplasty solutions are always available if it doesn’t work.We have had exciting results with the use of lipogems for patients with arthritic changes in the knee and our early results at eighteen months with shoulders are very encouraging.
So, if you have a massive rotator cuff tear but aren’t wanting to have metalwork just yet, then I would be happy to discuss the best option that suite you.
Avicenna clinic has a range of specialist consultants and superior in-house imaging facilities including state-of-the-art MRI and ultrasound. We can assess and diagnose all cases of acute and chronic injuries quickly and deliver comprehensive treatment plans tailored to you. n

COMMITTED TO PROVIDING THE VERY BEST DENTAL HEALTH CARE...
“Before I joined the Dental Health Centre about two years ago my teeth weren’t in good shape. I happened to pick up a copy of Lincolnshire Pride in my local restaurant and read a feature on the Dental Health Centre. I have since had two implants, one at the front and one at the side, which is a double one, as well as a bridge. The care I have received has been absolutely fantastic and the change my treatment has made to my life has been very dramatic...” Steve Finn, Newark
Private GP Services PROMPT, PROFESSIONAL, PRIVATE
Peterborough’s Fitzwilliam Hospital is expanding its Private GP Services, with additional GPs and appointment availability - a benefit for those with busy lives. The service offers a choice of male or female GMC registered GPs, unhurried consultations of either 20, 40 or 60 minutes, the availability of private prescriptions, prompt access to diagnostic tests from X-ray to MRI or CT scans, cancer screening and blood tests. The service has four experienced GPs; Dr Nigel Hume, Dr Ayyaz Kauser, Dr Aisha Bashir and Dr Helen Stellmacher. The GPs offer a range of special interests including diabetes and primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases, plus women’s health. The GPs can also offer advice on the side effects of medication and where possible lifestyle modification rather than prescribing if safe and feasible. “There is no need to be registered with us,” says Dr Aisha Bashir, one of the four GPs providing the service. “And we’re supported by a professional nursing team including our RGN Sister Jan Hutchinson and HCA Vicky Fane.” The service isn’t intended as a replacement for an A&E department. It does howev er provide prompt appointments for urgent or long-term issues; ongoing treatment of chronic conditions like asthma, hypertension and diabetes. It’s a useful service, too, for those providing employment screening and employment requiring assessment - for professional HGV drivers’ certificates, for example - or insurance reports and medicals for travel, such as those required for visa applications. The aim is to provide a better healthcare experience and a broad availability of appointments with longer durations.
The hospital benefits from a convenient location close to the centre of Peterborough with free ample parking, and from being based at the Fitzwilliam Hospital, part of the Ramsay Healthcare Group.
The hospital has on-site CT and MRI scanner suites, an onsite physio department, five theatres and 55 en suite rooms for inpatients. It’s a modern, well-equipped facility and is one of over 30 hospitals in the Ramsay group.
“Having Private GP Services here at Fitzwilliam Hospital allows patients access to on site consultants across many specialisms from orthopaedics, spinal surgery, pain management, ENT, ophthalmology, cosmetic surgery, gynaecol ogy and urology,” says Sister Jan Hutchinson.
“We are delighted to expand the service. Finding out you have a health problem or an increased risk of a health problem can help people make better informed decisions about their health. Screening can reduce the risk of developing a condition or its complication.” n
n Now offering Private GP services, The Fitzwilliam Hospital is one of 30 Ramsay Group owned UK hospitals. The Fitzwilliam Hospital was established in 1983 as a private facility now providing 55 en suite bedrooms, five operating theatres, dedicated MRI, CT and X-Ray suites and physiotherapy suites.
