iTero

The iTero® Scanner is a state-of-the-art technology that allows us to take digital images (not putty impressions) of the teeth and jaws for planning treatment with Invisalign.

Cerec

CEREC is an advanced digital (in-house) manufacturing technique for single-visit tooth restorations, allowing patients to see results the same day of their treatment.

CT Scans

The 3D imaging ability of a CT scan goes beyond the technology of basic x-rays and enables us to determine the health of your teeth, jaw, and mouth in high resolution.

CEREC

CEREC is an advanced digital manufacturing technique for single-visit tooth restorations. Unlike metal fillings that can easily break and attract tooth decay, CEREC uses a biocompatible ceramic material that is not only aesthetically pleasing, it enables our dentist to restore your tooth to its original, strong state.

Using CEREC, we can replace metal fillings, fill in cavities, restore broken or decayed teeth, or even create bespoke crowns – all in one visit.

The technique works by taking a digital ‘impression’ of your tooth. While you wait, a suitable restoration is designed using advanced 3D computer software. An in-house CEREC Milling Unit will then manufacture your tooth restoration immediately.

The benefits of CEREC are clearly evident: we can conduct teeth restorations in a single appointment, you benefit from a natural-looking smile, and the end result is highly durable and long-lasting.

The Benefits

Single visit treatment
See results the same day of treatment
No temporary restoration needed
No Impression materials required
Metal free restorations
Natural looking tooth restorations
Restores strength to tooth

CT Scans

The 3D imaging ability of a CT scan goes beyond the technology of basic x-rays and enables our dentists to determine the health of your teeth, jaw, and mouth in high resolution – safely and efficiently. All this can be done from a quick 30-second scan.

Our dentist may use a CT scanner to better-plan your treatment. This is especially the case if you are considering dental implants. The technique allows us to see your teeth, sinuses, and nerves in great detail, ensuring a greater success rate and level of safety. It can also help pinpoint the exact location for your implants and establish if you require bone grafting.

The whole procedure takes seconds, is pain-free and completely safe. Dental computed tomography scans (CT) typically emit less radiation than medical CT scans. This modern, effective approach ensures we can deliver a first-class, bespoke service to every customer.

The Benefits

pain-free
quick scanning
comprehensive 3D scan of teeth, jaw and mouth
allows for more accurate treatment planning
emits less radiation than a medical CT scan

iTero

iTero is the new digital imaging method we use to gain an accurate impression of your teeth. If you are starting orthodontic treatment using Invisalign clear braces, we will commonly use this approach to take a 3D image of your mouth.

The dentist will scan your teeth and jaw using a small optical device. The wand-like scanner emits a radiation free laser and generates a digital image in minutes.

One major benefit of iTero is you can view an instant 3D impression of your teeth on the dentist’s computer screen. This visual aid enables us to explain the treatment plan in great detail at your consultation.

While traditional methods involved the use of tray and putty, iTero is quicker and more convenient. This means you will no longer be subjected to tray after tray of sticky goo in your mouth when preparing to have your teeth straightened.

The whole process typically takes less than a few minutes and not only helps us explain the various treatment options available, it will leave you more time to enjoy the rest of your day.

For more information on the technology we use, or to book a free consultation with our dentist, please contact us for further information.

The Benefits

Digital impressions are fast and more accurate
Accurate scans mean no margin for error, and perfect fitting aligners
A wand is used, instead of messy putty and trays, making treatment comfortable
Scans are sent directly to the lab for quicker processing of Invisalign aligners
You can see what your improved smile will look like before its complete

Very friendly and polite receptionists on the front desk (refreshing). Fantastic results in a short period of time. Everything seems top of the range and they try their best to go above and beyond on all details. Practice belongs in London but with Kent prices. Would highly recommend

I was looking for a new dental practice close to home and would have remained with the practice I had been with for about ten years but I had not been happy for a while. I think everything about Parrock Dental is the opposite so far of the other practice, so based far based on the registration, first appointment and contact with the reception staff. The team are really friendly and professional, helpful things like parking arrangements nearby when booking the first appointment. I have never had a fear of dental treatment and I am sure if someone was not entirely comfortable Parrock Dental would be the practice to reassure them. A friend asked me for a recommendation and she and her husband are now patients too. The practice has a very modern layout and away from the whole old fashioned dental practice feel. The staff were really open and honest about prices, treatment and preventative care so I was reassured and happy to return.

A great service; the reception staff are friendly and helpful, whilst the waiting room is clean and spacious. The dentist was very considerate and asked me about my general dental habits, giving me lots of advice on how to keep my teeth clean. I never have to wait long and I am given reminders about my appointments for me and my children regularly. A really nice surgery!

I didn’t like the dentist untilI came to Parrock Dental, due to some bad experiences as a child. I saw Lisa for my check ups and treatment. She is really good at putting you at ease and made me feel much more relaxed about visiting the dentist. Great for nervous patients, I don’t think twice about going to the dentist now. Would highly recommend.

I had two molar implants put in due to a bit of bad look with two teeth. I was poorly advised by my NHS dentist and decided to go private here. I couldn't be more pleased with the results! The two implants look and feel like my real teeth. The service I experienced from Rik and his Team was honest and professional - I would definitely recommend if you want the best care for your teeth.

I’m extremely happy with my implants and can’t praise Rik and his team enough. A very professional and friendly service from beginning to end. I would certainly recommend their services.

Great service, very friendly staff who cared. I went to Parrock Dental as I wanted to attend a dentist who understood that going to the dentist was not comfortable experience, I have a fear of needles. I was very nervous about the treatment. But the team at Parrock Dental got to grips with my fears and treated my with care and compassion.During my treatment I had three great implants to replace broken teeth including one of my front teeth, a veneer on my other front tooth. The finish has given me back a smile and my confidence is improved as well. I cannot recommend the treatment, staff or results highly enough. I am now where near as nervous of the dentist now, in fact I actually look forward to the scale and polish sessions. The best dental experience I have every had. Thanks to Rik and the team at Parrock Dental

As this was my third implant I knew roughly what to expect in terms of the procedure and its effects. However, Rik and his staff performed the whole process in a completely professional, friendly and very comfortable way. Everything was explained in great detail at every stage and checked that I had no queries or concerns and my previous experiences of a sometimes painful and uncomfortable process was completed without any discomfort, pain or anxiety at all. I cannot praise this practice highly enough and would not hesitate to recommend it; the staff here really do care about giving an excellent, individual service.

Very good service. Highly professional. Very nice staff. My partner has undergone substantial work done here;She had a dental implant fitted. This came after 6 months of treatment in preparation for the implant. The implant was placed on the upper left molars. She now feels more confident and is reaping the health benefits.She swears by the practice. All in all an excellent dentist.

I am currently 6 weeks into my Invisalign journey and it’s been faultless. Dr Rik and the team are a credit to the industry. They go above and beyond to help you into finding the best treatment for you and can not help you enough when you have any questions. I was quite nervous about starting my treatment before I went for the first appointment but as soon as you enter you are made to feel welcome and at ease. I would recommend Parrock dental 100 times out of 100.

I have been a patient here for over 3 years and I have seen the current Dental Hygienist, Namarta, twice in the past year and the dental treatment and advice she provides far exceeds her predecessors. She is highly professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Plus she always runs on time which is a bonus!Highly recommend the Dental Hygienist.

Brilliant experience receiving treatment for my Invisaligns! I have always been so scared of the dentist but this surgery has definitely changed my views on dentists! The staff are so friendly, from the initial phone consultation to the final appointment. Reception staff are always friendly and welcoming. The dental hygienist is fantastic and gives great and useful advice. Finally, a special thanks to Rik who was amazing every step of my invisalign journey and has helped me love to smile again. Thank you to all the staff at Parrock Dental.

Being highly Dentaphobic & avoiding the Dentist at all costs for over 20 years, i got to the point where I was sticking my crowns back in with superglue and using temporary filling material every week but then my teeth got to the point where I had no choice but to seek professional help. I was in serious trouble because i couldn't eat. I had heard of Parrock Dental but I also carried out a lot of research online and sought recommendations from friends and even contemplated going abroad but it all led back to Parrock Dental being the go-to place. So off I went for my check over with Rik who told me exactly what needs to be done and exactly what the cost would be. Before seeing Rik I was sure that all of my top teeth would have to be extracted but he assured me that this isn't the case & he can save them - minus a few that were full of temp fillings bought from Boots - so i was sold. After chatting with Shiva about the process a few times I paid my bill and treatment began immediately; All CT scans, moulds and x-rays were taken there and then and i was booked in to see Nomarta (the excellent & friendly Hygienist who doesn't mess about) and after 2 visits to her my gob was ready to be operated on. Obviously being a bit of a wuss I opted to pay extra for sedation and was looked after by Dr Bosch who was fantastic and explained everything fully. It is now the day after my extractions and the implants are healing ready for the next phase but i can honestly say that I have no fear of the Dentist anymore - I am in no pain whatsoever. If you are worried about getting treatment then i would highly recommend Rik and his fantastic team. Every step of the way you are treated as an actual person and not just a ticket number, the ladies behind reception are a great bunch of girls who actually remember your name - You can have a laugh with them too. The nurses are absolutely amazing and are a credit to you.Some people may look at Google reviews and think 'yeah, righto' so i will say that i would be more than happy for the surgery to give my telephone number to anyone who has any concerns that this isn't a true review and i will gladly talk to them.I cannot recommend Parrock dental highly enough. You've practically changed my life.

I decided to have an implant but was really nervous. Dr Rik Trivedi and his team are brilliant! The treatment I had was quite intense but there was no pain whatsoever. Rik is passionate about his work and gives great care and attention to his patients. I can't praise them enough... For the first time ever, I'm actually looking forward to going back to the dentist! Thank you. :-)
