Full-arch to single-tooth implant placement by a dual-qualified surgeon.
Pre-surgical medical optimisation as standard, not as an afterthought.
Most implant clinics pass you from consultant to associate to technician, with no one owning the outcome. At FAME, one lead clinician stays responsible for your case from start to finish, supported by a team you'll come to know. Continuity of care changes outcomes.
Dr Ferhan Ahmed's dual medical and dental qualification (BDS · MFDS · MBChB) enables pre-surgical workup tests that most dental practices cannot carry out. This is not cosmetic preparation. It is clinical optimisation that reduces surgical risk and improves long-term success rates.
FAME is built to take on the cases other practices refer on. If you've been told your case is too difficult, or a previous implant has failed, this is where to begin.
From your initial consultation to your final restoration, our structured clinical pathway is designed to create predictable results and full transparency.
Full clinical assessment including medical optimisation workup. CBCT scan reviewed. Treatment plan presented with alternatives.
Pre-surgical blood panel and health review conducted by Dr Ferhan Ahmed in his capacity as a qualified physician. Rare in dental practice.
Led by Dr Ferhan Ahmed, with implant surgery performed by our experienced clinical team. IV sedation available for anxious patients. Single-visit placement where clinically appropriate.
Final crown or prosthetic fitted. Long-term maintenance protocol established. Annual review as standard, not an upsell.
Not every implant case is the same. The type recommended depends on how many teeth are missing, bone volume, your medical profile, and your goals.
A single titanium implant with a ceramic crown. The most common implant procedure, it replaces a missing tooth without affecting neighbouring teeth. No preparation of adjacent teeth required, unlike a bridge.
Two or more implants used to support individual crowns or an implant-retained bridge. Preserves more bone than a conventional bridge and does not rely on adjacent teeth for support.
A fixed, full arch of teeth supported by implants, sometimes called full-arch restoration. Eliminates the need for a removable denture. Where bone allows, a provisional bridge can often be fitted the same day as surgery.
Where bone volume is insufficient for direct implant placement, grafting rebuilds the foundation first. Dr Ferhan Ahmed's medical qualification allows him to plan and carry out grafting and implant placement with full clinical oversight.
For patients with significant dental anxiety, IV sedation allows implant surgery to be completed in a deeply relaxed state. Available at FAME; not all implant practices offer sedation in-house.
Previous implant failures, compromised immune systems, diabetic patients, patients on anticoagulants. These are not automatic contraindications, but they require a clinician with the medical background to manage them properly.
Bridges, dentures, and implants can all replace missing teeth. The differences matter more over time than they do on day one.
Implants are fixed: they don't move, don't require adhesive, and don't need to be removed at night. They also prevent the bone loss that occurs beneath a denture over time, which progressively changes facial structure.
A conventional bridge requires grinding down the teeth either side of the gap. Implants are self-supporting: adjacent teeth are left completely untouched. This matters significantly when those teeth are otherwise healthy.
Bone loss begins immediately after a tooth is lost. An implant, like a natural tooth root, stimulates the bone and prevents resorption. Left untreated, bone loss limits future implant options.
Implants have a higher upfront cost than bridges or dentures. Over 20 years, the calculus changes: bridges typically need replacement, dentures require regular adjustment, and the cost of bone loss management adds up. Implants, when placed correctly, rarely need revision.
The questions most implant patients wish they'd asked before committing, and what the answers reveal about a practice's clinical standards. A guide built from twenty years of seeing what goes wrong, and why.
FAME is built for the cases other dentists refer on. Dr Ferhan Ahmed's dual qualification, his surgical precision, and his commitment to returning every patient to their referring practice.
