Dental implants near Inverness

Why patients travel to Dingwall

Many of Dr Abbasi's patients come from Inverness, the Black Isle and across Ross-shire. Dingwall is easy to reach by car or train, and you see the same dentist from your first assessment to the fitting of your final crown.

What implant treatment involves

1. Assessment: examination, X-rays and, where needed, a 3D scan. You hear about every option, including bridges and dentures, with a written plan and cost.
2. Placement: a minor procedure under local anaesthetic.
3. Healing: usually two to four months while the implant bonds with the bone.
4. Your new tooth: a custom crown is made and fitted.

Is it right for me?

Most healthy adults can be considered. Enough healthy bone and gum is needed, and smoking, uncontrolled diabetes and gum disease raise the risk of problems. Dr Abbasi reviews your medical history before recommending anything. Read the full implant guide.

Risks

As with any surgery there can be swelling, bruising, bleeding or infection, and rarely nerve or sinus complications. Implants can fail to integrate or develop problems later, especially in smokers or with poor cleaning.
