Rural Access to Dental Care

Helping patients from local Derbyshire villages.

Anyone living in the Derbyshire countryside will be aware of the benefits that it offers. Beautiful scenery and some excellent walking territory make this a popular place for those who have lived here for generations as well as those looking for a slower pace of life, often in later life.

With the advantages of rural life though, sometimes come a few inconveniences. One of the more significant of these is the limited facilities close to home. This applies to dental practices too, and, with modern dentistry becoming ever advanced, village dental practices offering state-of-the-art treatments are on the decline.

Centrally based

If you have chosen to live in the countryside, the lack of local facilities should be taken into account. Thankfully, most people drive these days, and, for those who don’t, there is a usually a useful bus and train service that can be used.

We have a number of patients who have chosen to visit our Derby Dental Implant Centre who have come from villages in the Derbyshire countryside. A key reason that they often give for this choice, is that their local dentist only offers basic general dental services, whilst many of these visitors are looking for something more, such as modern dental implants to replace lost teeth.

Older patients

Although not exclusively, many older patients are simply not prepared to put up with some of the inconveniences of age, such as the possible need to wear dentures. By offering them the opportunity to have dental implants placed, we not only enable them to improve their smile, but also give them the real satisfaction of not having to worry about whether or not they can eat certain foods because of their dentures. Good nutrition is a key factor in maintaining health, and a restricted diet, potentially exacerbated by inefficient dentures, is likely to hinder that.

Modern facilities

Keeping up to date with modern technology can be difficult and expensive. At the Darren Bywater Dental Implant Centre though, we have taken care to ensure that we are equipped with the latest technologies to ensure that our patients have access to the best dental care and safety possible. Invasive procedures such as dental implants need to be performed in a very hygienic environment in order to prevent cross infection, and we make all of our patient’s safety a top priority.

Wherever you live in rural Derbyshire, or indeed, if you live in the City of Derby itself, we will be pleased to attend to your oral health needs.
