“The medicine and the dentistry, in one pair of hands.”
Overview
Dr Ferhan Ahmed is the founder of FAME Dentistry and the surgeon who leads its implant work. A University of Glasgow graduate with more than twenty years in practice, he is one of a small number of UK dentists qualified in both medicine and dentistry. This dual qualification shapes how every implant case at FAME is assessed, planned and carried out.
He is an international lecturer and mentor in implantology, teaching advanced implant surgery to dentists across the UK and abroad.
Why Peers & Patients Choose Dr Ferhan
A large part of Dr Ferhan's work comes via recommendation from other dentists who refer because they do not undertake implant surgery or where a case is too complex for them to handle. That trust is earned the way it should be: through the consistent delivery of results for patients, and through years spent teaching implant surgery to peers, rather than through self-promotion. Dentists who send him their most difficult cases do so knowing the patient will be cared for and returned to them for their regular dental needs.
Leadership and Contribution to the Profession
Dr Ferhan has also written two books.
Being Unstoppable: The Mindset of a Great Clinician. He wrote this book to encourage his colleagues in the dental profession to look beyond their education and technical skills and develop their mindset, confidence and leadership abilities for the benefit of both their teams and the patients they serve.
First Impressions, Final Decisions: Discovering the Hidden Variables in Leadership Presence. As a keen student of self-improvement and successful business owner himself, he wrote this book to share the research he uncovered into how business leaders can be more effective by closing the gap between who they really are and how they are actually perceived.
Clinical Philosophy: A Medical Approach to Dental Surgery
An implant is not just placed in a mouth, it's placed in a person too, and Dr Ferhan's medical training means the whole patient is considered before any surgery begins.
- Whole-patient assessment: because he is medically as well as dentally qualified, pre-surgical health review and optimisation are a standard part of implant care at FAME, a step very few dental practices can offer in-house.
- Meticulous planning: every case is planned in detail before treatment begins, using modern imaging and surgical technique, so there are as few surprises as possible along the way.
- Results built to last: the aim is always full function, natural aesthetics, and an outcome that holds up over the long term.
The Patient Experience
For Dr Ferhan, the clinical result is only half of the work. He has spent as much time thinking about how dental care should feel as about how it should be done, drawing on ideas from outside dentistry, in hospitality and service, where looking after people is treated as a craft in its own right. Every stage of the implant journey at FAME has Dr Ferhan's customer service philosophy built into it, ensuring that his patients feel genuinely looked after and completely confident in their treatment.
