How this site stays honest
Figures from clinic records
Every number on this site is counted from practice records and shows the month it was last updated.
Cases with written consent
A case is shown only after the patient signs consent. Faces are not shown unless the patient agrees, and consent can be withdrawn at any time.
No paid videos
Patients who share their experience on video are not paid and receive no discount for it.
Reviewed by me
I review every treatment page and article myself, and each one shows the date of its last review.
Many people over sixty are told they are too old for implants. My first job is to check whether that is true for you, and to explain it so that your whole family understands.
For patients and their families
The questions I hear most often in the chair, answered briefly. We go through each one properly at your visit.
Am I too old for implants?
Age alone does not decide it. Your general health and the bone in your jaw matter more, and a 3D scan shows the bone clearly.
For sons and daughters
Come to the first visit with your parent. You will see the scan, hear the options and take the plan and cost home in writing.
Diabetes or blood pressure?
Many people with controlled diabetes or blood pressure can have implants. I check your reports first and plan with your physician when needed.
How I work
Every full-mouth case follows the same six steps, so you always know what comes next.
- 01
Consultation
We talk, I examine, and I listen to what you want.
- 02
3D scan
A CBCT scan of both jaws shows the bone in detail.
- 03
Written plan
Options, timeline and cost, on paper, to discuss at home.
- 04
Surgery day
I explain what happens, step by step, before we begin.
- 05
Healing
Temporary teeth and regular check-ups while the bone heals.
- 06
Final teeth
Fitting of the final teeth, then yearly reviews.
Questions to ask any implant surgeon
Whoever you choose, these questions help you compare plans clearly. Please ask me every one of them at your consultation.
Will you take a 3D (CBCT) scan before planning?
A normal X-ray is flat. A 3D scan shows the height and width of the bone, and where the nerves and sinuses are.
Who places the implants, and who makes the final teeth?
Know who is responsible for each stage, and whom to call if something feels wrong.
Which implant system will you use, and will I get its details?
Keep the brand and batch details on record, so that any dentist can look after your implants in future.
Is the full cost in writing, including temporary and final teeth?
A written plan should list every stage, so there are no surprises halfway through treatment.
What happens if an implant does not heal?
Every implant surgeon sees this sometimes. Ask how it is handled and what it would cost.
How often will I need check-ups afterwards?
Implants need care, like natural teeth. Regular reviews find small problems early.
When implants may not be right for you
Implants suit many people, but not everyone, and not always right away. If they are not the right choice for you now, I will tell you plainly and explain why.
Other options include bridges, removable dentures and implant-supported dentures. We go through them together at your visit.
Uncontrolled diabetes
High sugar slows healing. We usually wait until your sugar is under control, working with your physician.
Heavy smoking
Smoking raises the chance that an implant does not join the bone. Cutting down or stopping before surgery helps.
Some bone medicines or jaw radiotherapy
Certain osteoporosis medicines and past radiotherapy to the head or neck need extra care. Bring a list of every medicine you take.
Very little bone
Bone grafting can often help. Sometimes a well-made denture or bridge is the more suitable choice.
Treatments
Dental implants guideFull-mouth implants
Fixed replacement of all teeth in one or both jaws, planned from CBCT scans and a prosthetic design.
All-on-4
A full-arch fixed bridge supported by four implants, often avoiding bone grafting in the back of the jaw.
All-on-6
A full-arch fixed bridge on six implants, spreading biting load across more support points.
Single-tooth implant
Replacing one missing tooth with an implant and crown, without preparing the neighbouring teeth.
Immediate loading
Fixed temporary teeth attached within days of implant surgery, when bone quality and stability allow.
Bone grafting & sinus lift
Rebuilding bone volume in the jaw or beneath the sinus so implants can be placed securely.
Travelling for treatment
A remote review of your scans before you travel, a clear treatment timeline, and follow-up after you return home.
