Dental implants are a long-lasting, secure and natural replacement for severely damaged or missing teeth and at our Harley Street clinic they make a great alternative to traditional dental bridges or dentures. Whilst the procedures to fit dental implants are not over invasive and can usually be completed at our Harley Street clinic using topical and local anaesthesia, all patients considering dental implants as an option are invited to London for a comprehensive dental implant consultation.
This consultation plays a vital part in the checks and preparation required by our Harley Street dentists before dental implant treatment can begin.
Our principal dentist and specialist prosthodontist, Dr Mehran Sanei (GDC No. 67683), who performs the implant treatments, is also recognised by the American Dental Association as a Specialist in Prosthodontics.
With over 30 years of extensive dentistry experience, he has also given national and international lectures on Cosmetics and Implantology. He has been an active member of the American Dental Society of London since 1999.

Everybody has different dental needs and, maybe more importantly, different expectations from their treatment. Our consultations are confidential and friendly and, as well as undertaking detailed clinical checks at our Harley Street practice, we aim to get to know you, understand your reasons for dental implant treatment and help you to make informed choices about any procedure options. During your Harley Street visit, your consultant will ask you about:
This is important because there are some existing medical conditions that are not compatible with dental implant treatment. Our consultants are dental implant specialists and are fully trained to understand any medical implications that might have an impact on your treatment.
Many of the patients who visit our Harley Street clinic in London for a dental implant consultation have already tried other dental solutions for their problems. All previous dental treatment and issues will be taken into account when our consultant develops your treatment plan.
This might sound like an unusual thing to discuss during a dental implant consultation but your social history and your relationship with your teeth have an important part to play in decisions about your treatment. Please don’t worry, you won’t find any of our questions invasive and we take patient confidentiality very seriously.
After your discussion, we’ll take several x-rays of your mouth and jaw. As dental implants rely on the stability of your jaw to stay in place, we can use your x-rays to check if your jawbone is dense enough to support them.
Your practitioner will then give you a full head, neck and mouth examination. They’ll thoroughly check:
In this examination, your dentist will be able to test you for a variety of different conditions and we’ll alert you if there’s anything you need to be aware of medically. Not only will this give you peace of mind, it will also help us to determine whether dental implants are a viable option for you.
If you’ve already had dental work done, our team will also check your fillings, crowns, veneers, dentures, tooth implants or bridges to make sure they are still in good condition and doing their jobs.
Further tests at your dental implant consultation will look at your:
Your dentist will also make note of any gum recession and create a full mouth pocketing chart for your gums. When all your tests are complete, our specialist experts can examine all of the information they’ve gathered at your dental implant consultation to decide whether or not you can go ahead with your tooth replacement treatment.
Once these discussions and examinations have taken place with our Harley Street team, the results and any revealed issues are discussed with you in detail and with simple explanations. At this stage the likely results of treatment and its success rate will be explained to you along with the benefits and risks of dental implants.
Your consultant will then discuss your Harley Street dental implant options and their relative cost implications and answer your questions before a comprehensive, individual Harley Street treatment plan is created. If you would like to see before and after photos of previous patients then we can show you these too. The more detailed your Harley Street dental implant consultation is, the more accurately we can achieve a result that meets your expectations.
Harley Street dental implants give a very natural and comfortable end result and this is enhanced by the level of detail and care that we put into each and every one of our London dental implant consultations.
