Would you like your smile back? Your smile is what makes you you, yet many people feel they need to live with missing teeth, loose teeth or ill-fitting dentures because they believe there is no other option for them. Local dental surgeon Manoj Parmar of Acorn Implant and Dental Practice in Moseley has some pearls of wisdom when it comes to thinking about dental implants. If you have missing teeth you can permanently replace one, a few or all of them with dental implants. A titanium screw is placed into the bone in place of a root and then different structures can be created to fit onto the implant(s); crowns, bridges and over dentures. Is this treatment suitable for me? Implants can be used to replace single teeth, multiple teeth or even all your teeth for people who endure having gaps in their teeth or people who cannot tolerate their dentures. 16
If you have lost several teeth and it is affecting your ability to chew or smile then implants could be the answer. It is a fixed solution, which is as close as you can get to your natural teeth. It means that finally you can get rid of those horrible dentures and not worry about having to take your teeth out at night. No teeth? Full dentures? If you have no teeth and cannot tolerate full dentures, then dental implants may be the solution for you. There are different options for treatment to suit different budgets and make it accessible for everyone. As few as two implants can be used to
stabilise a denture. Or a full arch bridge can be constructed on up to eight implants. To support a fixed bridge would be the ultimate solution – changing your life forever.
will start moving into the gap, tilting at an angle so affecting your bite.
Same Day Teeth
Because of our in-house expertise and laboratory we can pass on the cost benefits to our patients.
If you have a mouthful of loose teeth or unsightly or broken down teeth we can give you your smile back in one day. Following careful planning we may be able to remove poorly teeth, place implants and provide you with a fixed temporary bridge all in one day. We can offer this service because we have our own on-site laboratory and technician. Even with certain trauma cases – where teeth have been lost in an accident – we can put an implant in and crown on the tooth at the same time.
Cost – is it expensive?
And it is important to take a wider perspective. Implant treatment may be the most expensive option today, but over the course of your life it will be the cheapest. You can take advantage of Acorn’s 0% finance options too, which means that implants could be yours for less than a cup of coffee a day. Free consultation with no obligation If you think this is something you could benefit from then you are invited to go for a free initial consultation with Dr Parmar to talk it through. Acorn Implant and Dental Practice is an award winning practice that invests heavily in post-graduate education. Dr Parmar has a post-graduate Diploma in Implantology. It is a family practice offering advanced dental work alongside general dental care for the whole family.

Dr Parmar takes pride in making a difference to people’s lives, which is demonstrated by the amount of testimonials that you can see on their website. www.aidp.co.uk

Effects of missing teeth Aside from the obvious emotional effects of having missing teeth, it can also affect your smile, chewing, speech, and can cause your face to sink in. Other teeth

Sarehole Mill turns the clock back Finally after years of planning and hard work Sarehole Mill has taken a step back in time to mill again after nearly a hundred years out of action. With a team of ten local committed volunteer millers, a newly dredged pond and extensive renovations to the machinery, the mill is now back in action. For training the mill is grinding barley flour for a local farmer to feed his livestock. But the plan, by the summer, is to mill wheat flour and bake it into bread in the on-site historic bakery. The mill will run a baking event in the summer when you will be able to sample bread made the old fashioned way out of ‘Sarehole Milled’ stone ground flour. To see the mill in action just go along any Wednesday or Sunday. The summer baking days will be announced on their website after all the equipment has been fully tested and they are ready to feed the public. So keep an eye on http://www.bmag.org.uk/events to make sure you don’t miss your chance. Sarehole Mill is a stunning historical landmark with a full programme of events for all the family. 20
Events coming up 16 June Launch of Birmingham REP audio walk. A family fun day with lots of activities in Moseley Bog and at Sarehole Mill to celebrate the launch of ‘Light from shadows’ an exciting new REP neighbourhood project. 30 June The Origins of Middle-Earth. A guided talk along the lost hamlet of Sarehole and the natural splendour of Moseley Bog. 4 August Big Brum History Buz – Tolkien and Tudors. Hop on the bus and discover Birmingham’s fascinating past. 11 August Simply messing about with boats – Join Bournville Model boat club and visit the mill pond to see a variety of model boats and even have a go sailing some of them. For more information about these events and details on how to find the mill go to www.bmag.org.uk/events

Do you employ people? Employment law can be a minefield, especially for small businesses run by busy owner managers. And with recent and planned changes in the law, coupled with the poor economic climate, now more than ever employers need to ensure they comply with the relevant legislation. In this issue’s ‘meet the team at Tyndallwoods’ feature we meet Kate Garrett, Solicitor who specialises in employment law acting on Tyndallwoods behalf of both employers and employees.
footer for use
Kate often meets new clients when they have reached a crisis point, faced for example with the threat of a tribunal claim such as unfair dismissal. Her advice to employers is to obtain legal advice prior to making any decisions which will affect employees. It may only take a couple of hours to obtain legal advice which, when compared to the time and cost involved in defending a tribunal claim, is time and money well spent. Much of Kate’s advice is pure common sense but she is surprised by how often basic practices and procedures are ignored by employers for example, the requirement for employees to receive a Written Statement of the main terms and conditions of employment within two calendar months of starting work. And if a business is looking to reduce pay or hours there needs to be a formal two-way consultation process. Finally Kate stresses that when faced with a disgruntled employee or ex-employee there is an alternative to going through a tribunal. In some cases a Compromise Agreement can be 29 Woodbourne Road Edgbaston Birmingham B17 8BY edgbaston@tyndallwoods.co.uk Car parking on site

used removing the need to attend the tribunal. A Compromise Agreement may sometimes be a difficult choice to make when emotions are running high – but they can potentially reduce the overall cost to the employer. Kate will always look at her clients’ problems on an individual basis and help them find the most practical and economical way of sorting them out.
