About the Business

Dr Ueckermann graduated from the University of Pretoria in 1987 at the top of his class, obtaining his BChD degree with honours. After working in both private practice and NHS dentistry in South Africa and the United Kingdom he returned to the University of Pretoria for further post-graduate studies.

During this time he lectured in Oral Pathology and worked as forensic consultant to the police while doing research in oral cancer as part of his degree studies for a masters degree in odontology (MSc.Odont). He obtained this degree in 1997 with honours and returned to the United Kingdom to join The Elms Dental Practice as an associate, becoming the owner and principal in 2004.

After nearly 25years in dentistry Dr Ueckermann still enjoys developing new clinical skills allowing him to offer his patients a wide range of high quality treatment options delivered in a professional environment. He encourages his patients to take an active part in their treatment planning based on the information and guidance provided by the whole practice team.

“Although there are amazing new cosmetic treatments available I believe that most patients just want a high standard of basic dental care that will help them to maintain their oral health. Thanks to the hard work of the entire team The Elms Dental Practice is able to provide an exceptional level of care in a friendly relaxed atmosphere.”

Bridges

Bridges

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration which allows us to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge makes use of the adjacent teeth either side of the gap, anchoring to them. A crown is fitted to each tooth with another attached in the middle - replacing the missing tooth. This method of restoration is very popular as it is often highly successful giving comfortable, secure and long-lasting results.

As your bridge is tailor made to fit your mouth a great deal of time and skill is required in its manufacture and fit. While a bridge can be more expensive than other types of dental restoration it very often proves a good investment. Often a bridge will help to avoid the need for further more involved or costly treatments in the future.

Your bridge will be made from strong materials including metal and porcelain, therefore with good care and attention it has the potential to last for many years.

Dental Implants

Dental Implants

If you have a missing tooth or loose ill-fitting dentures then dental implants could provide you with a viable and permanent solution to the personal and practical issues that can be caused.

Your ability to eat and speak (even your general self-esteem) can be greatly affected due to a missing tooth. Dental implants can significantly help to improve your quality of life - helping you to feel happy about smiling again.

Depending on your general health, implants are a highly suitable option for people of all ages - no matter what the condition of their teeth. For many people, dental implants are a safe, long-term solution offering strong and natural looking replacements which feel just as secure as their existing teeth.
