Simon and Denver head up the implant team. They are able to provide dental implants at our Lowestoft and Norwich practices which have been specially equipped to treat simple to advanced cases. Dental implants are a long term solution to loose or missing teeth. They can also be useful for stabilizing loose dentures. Dental Implants allow patients to enjoy life to the full and smile again with confidence. Simon joined the practice on qualification from London and has worked at the Lowestoft and Oulton practices since then. His wife Karen is also a dental surgeon at the practice and they have three children. Since retiring from rugby, Simon has run in several marathons and Iron Man competitions, though he has yet to beat Karen in a marathon. He specialises in Dental Implants having performed more than 1000 procedures and is also a Vocational Trainer, having guided many newly qualified dental surgeons in the first years of their professional life. Denver qualified as a dentist and dental technologist in South Africa 18 years ago. He has subsequently embarked on a life long journey of continuous professional development in the UK resulting in a special interest in Dental Implants and Periodontology. He is an Orthodontic clinical assistant at the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital, a committee member of the Local Dental Committee, the chairman elect of the local British Dental Association, a Vocational Trainer and also lectures to newly qualified dentists. In his spare time Denver enjoys playing golf and macro photography. Denver’s wife Marcia is also a qualified Dental Technician and heads the dental laboratory at the Norwich practice. Denver also provides periodontal treatment for patients with gum disease. The symptoms range from bleeding gums to, in severe cases, a permanent disfigurement (such as gum recession and elongation of teeth), pain or tooth loss. Plastic and reconstructive surgery can correct some of these disfigurements, depending on how far the disease has progressed. The many benefits of periodontal treatment include fresh breath, the ability to chew food more easily, healthy gums that are free from infection and most importantly, helping you achieve your goal of keeping your natural teeth for a lifetime!
Sue is the daughter of John and Carole Plummer. She joined the practice after qualifying at Newcastle University. She is married to the Practice Business Manager Andrew Cross and they have two young sons, James and Edward. All the family are very sporty and enjoy squash, hockey and many other sports. Sue trains and lectures to newly qualified dental surgeons and is renowned for her gentle caring nature, especially with nervous patients and children. Teeth whitening is a procedure for lightening the colour of teeth either in a surgery treatment room or at home. This procedure is generally recommended if your teeth are naturally discoloured as a result of ageing, are stained as a result of exposure to certain foods and drinks, or are discoloured because of smoking. Aesthetic Dentistry includes restoring damaged, broken-down or missing teeth to a healthy, functional and beautiful state. This may involve, whitening, composite restorations, crowns, veneers, bridges, implants or orthodontics. Orthodontics Dr Peter Brook

Faces and Smiles is a subsidiary
Sri is a highly experienced Specialist Oral Surgeon who has worked in hospital for many years overseeing complex and difficult surgical procedures. He is also qualified in various sedation techniques. Sedation is a simple procedure that dentists as well as other medical professionals can use for their patients during selected treatments and is used to relax a patient prior to and during a dental appointment to ensure that the procedure proceeds as pain-free and relaxed as possible. Sedation uses medication to put the patient in a very relaxed, dreamlike state whilst having treatment carried out.
