MANY people would like to have dental implants but are worried about the procedure.

But at Woodborough House Dental Practice Dr Nick Fahey has developed and perfected a keyhole technique for dental implants that involves no cutting and no stitches.

It has made the whole experience of having an implant quicker and less traumatic — with no scalpels and no stitches.

First of all, Dr Fahey takes a CT scan (digital 3D X-ray) of the jaw and plans the position of the implant.

His technician then produces a surgical guide that allows for precise positioning of the implant.

On the day of surgery most patients elect to have a mild oral sedative to relax them.

Dr Fahey fits the surgical guide on the patient and removes a small circle of gum to allow access for the implant drills to be used.

The implant is then placed in the jaw and in some circumstances a temporary tooth can be placed immediately on the implant.

The surgical stent is then removed and the patient can go home.

This fantastic technique means that there is minimal trauma and discomfort to the patient and the whole procedure is seamless.

If you would like to learn more about this procedure, their patient coordinator Cathy would be more than happy to organise a free consultation for you.
