His passion lies in renewing his patients’ confidence through restoring extensively damaged teeth to full function, health and natural aesthetics. In his view, every patient is seeking a way to improve their smile either through function, aesthtics or both. Each patient is carefully assessed and a treatment plan is agreed together based on their clinical, financial and emotional needs.

Your First Complimentary Consultation – What Options are Available for You?

At your first consultation, Dr Vekaria will discuss your treatment options in great detail and endeavour to give you a comprehensive idea of the range of options open to you . He will also show you some on his own cases. Due to his vast experience, these will in the majority of cases exactly mirror the experience and result you will achieve and will help you to gain a greater understanding of your treatment. You will be actively involved in creating your new smile, every step of the way, before and during your course of treatment.

Since 1986 Dr Vekaria has treated thousands of patients with cosmetic and implant dentistry. The types of treatments vary extensively and range from complex surgeries including nerve repositioning and sinus grafting to full mouth or single dental implants.

How We Design Your New Teeth & Smile (Dental Crown’s & Bridges)

  • Dr Vekaria’s philosophy is that a beautiful smile stems from solid foundation, good function and beautiful teeth.
  • This result can be created from the understanding of the smile design whereby, teeth are placed at its most natural position.
  • This can only be done if the missing and deficient foundation is reconstructed prior to positioning the aesthetic tooth.
  • A new patient will usually be given the opportunity to see such cases on the outset prior to committing to any part of their treatment.

WHAT IS THE AAID?
AAID stands for the American Academy of Implant Dentistry – an organization promoting the standard of care for comprehensive implant dentistry.

History of the AAID

The American Academy of Implant Dentistry was founded in 1951, and is the first worldwide organization solely dedicated to implant dentistry. The AAID’s members include oral and maxillofacial surgeons, general dentists, prosthodontists, periodontists, and other dental professionals who have a keen interest in the implant dentistry field. The AAID is currently representing more than 4,500 dentists from all over the world.

How the AAID Helps Patients

The AAID gives patients the valuable information they need when it comes to dental implants, and the steps involved in the entire treatment procedure. Patients can also use theAAID to find dental implant experts, through the organization’s Associate Fellow and Fellow credentials. These credentials, which are set by the AAID, can help patients in identifying which dentists adhere to the specific expertise and standards in the field of oral implantology. Finding dental implant experts is easier with the help of the AAID. Implant dentists who have AAID credentials are guaranteed to provide patients with the best possible treatment options, compared to dentists who have the capability to place implants – but without the means to do so with great expertise and skills.

Dentists and AAID Credentialing

The AAID provides uses the Associate Fellow and Fellow membership examinations for bona fide credentialing in implant dentistry, and these credentials are recognized by the state boards. The American Academy of Implant Dentistry fully supports its members’ research and clinical interests, in the quest to attain the highest standards in implant dentistry. Members’ achievements and milestones are also recognized and highly encouraged by the AAID. Dentists who wish to augment their expertise in the field of implant dentistry can do so starting with the Associate Fellow membership. This certificate will let patients know of a dentist’s credentials and experience in the field of implant dentistry. There are minimum requirements that need to be met with regards to the experience and educational attainment, before getting the Associate Fellow membership certificate. The Fellow membership provides dentists with a special validation of their proficiency and expertise in implant dentistry. The examination for the Fellow membership can only be taken by dentists who have:

  • The required minimum experience and educational attainment
