Supporting the Community with Every Implant Placed

1. The ConsultationI am extremely passionate and dedicated to providing the highest standards of dental implant treatment for all my patients. In order to ensure I do this I have a specific process that I follow. The consultation is about two things primarily. First of all, ensuring that you’re comfortable, at ease and that I get to know you to ensure that I am providing a treatment that is best suited to your circumstances and needs. Secondly, to evaluate your suitability for treatment. During the consultation I will undertake a thorough clinical assessment, before taking a digital scan, photos and x-rays. I will then walk you on a tour of your mouth so that you understand your current position and the challenges and options we have in order to get you the smile you have always dreamed of.
-
2. Diagnostics and PlanningA second appointment to acquire further records is necessary to allow us to plan your new smile. This includes a CBCT (3D x-ray), more photographs and a short video. Using the records we have obtained; I work with a world-class laboratory to plan your new smile and your surgery. With the advancements in technology, we can carry out your surgery virtually and then manufacture a dental implant guide to ensure the surgery is as efficient and as accurate as can be achieved.
-
3. Surgery DayThe surgery involves the removal of any remaining teeth, the placement of the planned number of dental implants and the delivery of your new smile. This process normally takes from around 9am to 4pm. For the surgery part of treatment many of my patients choose to be sedated to ensure they are relaxed throughout the process. The aforementioned guide is used to ensure the implants go in the exact position we planned and then your new smile is simply screwed on to your implants.
-
4. Healing PhaseOver the course of the next three months, your dental implants will integrate with the surrounding bone. During this time, you will still be able to function with your new teeth and smile with confidence.
-
5. Delivery of your Final SmileAlthough the same day teeth are fixed and usable, they are ‘prototype teeth’. After three months, the full integration of the dental implants and gum healing will be complete. At this stage we have a process, carried out over three or four appointments, to ensure your new smile is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The final teeth will be made with all the relevant surface textures, sizes and shades that you have chosen for your definitive final smile. The whole process takes around six months from start to finish, but is planned with a high level of detail to ensure you regain your confidence with the smile you have always dreamed of.

Steel City Smiles
On behalf of my patients I have pledged to donate £25 for every implant that I place, to one of two amazing charities.
The idea behind the pledge was born out of a moment of reflection at the end of 2020. COVID-19 had meant strict lockdowns had taken its toll on many families and individuals. Looking back on my year and some of the success I’d had, in my career and personally, it really hit home how fortunate I was.
It was at this moment I realised I needed to give something back to a city that had given me so much, and to support those local charities and communities that needed my support the most. The concept of the steel city smiles pledge is to donate £50 for every “smile makeover” case that I complete, and £25 for every implant that I place to one of two amazing charities.
Both the Archer Project and S6 food bank do incredible work in supporting vulnerable individuals and struggling families in the local area, and I could think of two no more worthy causes to support.
At the end of treatment, patients are presented with a certificate, thanking them for their donation and letting them know how their money helped support someone less fortunate than themselves.
