Meet Dr Black
After graduating from Bristol University in 2002, Gordon has focussed on his post-graduate training to ensure he is able to provide his patients with the highest standard of dental treatment.
He passed his exams to become a member of The Faculty of General Dental Practitioners MFDGP(UK) in 2004 and went on to study more advanced aesthetic dentistry at the Larry Rosenthal (world-renowned dentist to celebrities) Aesthetic Advantage Continuum, as well as three levels of The California Centre for Advanced Dental Studies.
He then attended the Royal College of Surgeons in London, where he studied the art of dental implants and was awarded his diploma in implant dentistry in 2012. He has been providing dental implants in Hertfordshire since.

What to Expect
Your Consultation with Dr Black
At your initial consultation appointment, Dr Black will discuss your concerns and assess the health of your teeth and mouth.
An X-ray will likely be needed to check if you’re suitable for an implant, and occasionally, a CT scan will also be required.
You will then need to fill out a medical form, which Dr Black will run through with you.
After examining your scan results and assessing your medical form, he will be able to discuss available treatment options, along with an explanation of these treatments, the associated costs and time scales, so that you can make an informed decision of the best option for you.
Your implant placement appointment
At the start of your appointment, Dr Black will explain the different stages that will take place.
First, we’ll administer a local anaesthetic to ensure you do not feel anything during the implant placement.
You will then be asked to thoroughly brush your teeth and rinse your mouth with an antibacterial mouthwash.
The surgery will be set up with sterile drapes, and Dr Black and his assistant will wear sterile hats, gowns and gloves.
We’ll also provide you with a sterile hair net and gown, along with a disinfectant skin wipe.
Here at Hertford Dental Care, we follow a strict sterile protocol to ensure a high implant success rate, so these steps are some of the most important.
Once the surgery is underway, a small incision is made in the gum so that the implant can be placed, followed by some resorbable sutures.
Aftercare
After the placement of your dental implants, you will be encouraged to rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash every day for a week after the procedure.
You may wish to take analgesics, but most patients find this is not necessary.
We’ll arrange a review appointment for 2 weeks after your surgery to check that everything is healing as it should be and to remove any residual sutures.
Should you need any help or advice during this time, Dr Black is always available and more than happy to assist you.

Case-studies
Dental Implant - Case Study 1
From start to finish my treatment was excellent. After a few planning appointments, I attended a longer appointment to have the implants placed and a fixed bridge attached at the same time.
Dental Implant - Case Study 2
I was very undecided about having a dental implant as I was absolutely petrified at the thought of all the procedures. However, Gordon explained all the options with pros and cons which enabled me to make an informed choice. He made me feel at ease during the treatments, carefully explaining every step along the way. The implant has blended perfectly with my other teeth, and I sometimes forget which tooth is the implant. I would not hesitate to have another one if I lost another tooth
Mini Implants
The placement procedure for mini implants is less invasive compared to traditional implants. They are usually placed using a minimally invasive technique that requires less healing time.
Ankylos Dental Implant
Ankylos implants are known for their top mechanical and predictable stability.
Frequently Asked Questions
As long as your have healthy gums and enough bone to support an implant, you should be suitable for dental implants. The best thing to do is to contact Dr Black for an initial consultation who will be able to determine your suitability.
Each implant is placed into a socket carefully drilled at the precise location of the intended tooth. Often the implant can be placed at the same time as removal of the tooth, all on the same day.
If an implant has a screw-thread on its outer surface it can be screwed into position and if it does not, it is usually tapped into place. The main aim during installation of any implant is to achieve immediate close contact with the surrounding bone. This creates an initial stability, which over time is steadily enhanced by further growth of bone into microscopic roughnesses on the implant surface.
A dental implant is essentially a substitute for a natural root and commonly it is screw or cylinder shaped.
