Don t just take our word for it. See what some of our patients have to say: I wanted to write and thank you so much for everything you have done. My new smile is incredible and being able to chew, laugh and smile for the first time in a long time is unbelievable. The whole procedure was pain free. Thank you so much for making this happen for me! - Mrs E Fisher What are Dental Implants? Dental implants in Glasgow Scotland Dental implants are artificial replacement tooth roots that provide a permanent fixed base to secure new teeth. When you compare dental implants to the tradi tional alternatives (missing teeth, dentures or bridgework) they are the long term gold standard. Dental implants placed at our Glasgow clinic are an effective long-term solution for people who suffer from missing teeth, failing teeth or long term dental problems. Why are dental implants so good? Because they fit, feel and function just like natu ral teeth. We believe dental implants are the future of long term dental care for patients who would have traditionally suffered with dentures. 2

It is our mission at The Berkeley Clinic to make the whole dental implant process as straightforward and affordable as possible. Please read on to find out more or book in for a no obligation consultation to find out how we can change your life with dental implants. What makes our dental implants feel completely comfortable and secure? At The Berkeley Clinic we use medical grade titanium implants that over time actually fuse with your natural jaw bone through a process called Osseo integration. This fusing and union forms an incredibly strong and durable foundation for your new teeth, meaning there s no shifting, rubbing or other movement associated with dentures. When implants are done properly there are also no problems eating, no need to repair the implants regularly and no more worrying about smil ing to your fullest.

What makes The Berkeley Implant centre different? The Berkeley Implant centre was created with the belief that there had to be a better way to deliver amazing dental implant results. We believed that there had to be a more innovative, convenient and comfortable way to treat patients. It is this level of expertise and innovation that has seen us win so many industry awards One Team Our team of Dentists and master technicians work together to deliver excellent care to all of our patients. In most normal practices the Dentist, surgeon and technician don t have the chance to speak with each other face to face as they typically work in separate locations We believe that this makes delivering the best outcome difficult. From our lead surgeon Dr Greig Mclean to our master technician Cameron Smith, we only recruit the best so that you get the best. 5 One treatment Cost Before the launch of the Berkeley Implant centre, it was difficult to know the full price of dental implant procedures. Different specialists had different fees that would add up at each stage in the process. Since our surgeon, technician, and lab are all on site, we are able to give a single price for the entire procedure from start to finish. There are no surprise fees and no hidden costs. After your consultation, you will know exactly what it will cost to complete your dental implant treatment. We can offer single implants fully restored from 2,390 and a full arch of teeth on implants from 9,995. One Location In a traditional normal clinic, dental implants usually require several visits to surgeons, laboratories and dentists in several locations, and the teeth are created at an off-site lab and shipped to the office. If any adjustments needed to be made, the teeth would need to be shipped back to the lab. At the Berkeley Implant centre, we have combined all of the necessary elements for successful dental implant treatment in a single location. Your consultation, lab work, creation of your teeth, the procedure and recovery are all housed in a single centre.
THE ALL IN ONE CENTER APPROACH Why the All-Inclusive Approach Works When you visit the Berkeley implant centre, your entire dental team, the lab and your support staff are together in our state of the art friendly building. Not only does this approach make the process incredibly efficient. It allows for a better, more collaborative working approach which means that the end result is far superior. Compare: The Traditional Path at a normal dentist Having dental implants can be a very laborious process in a traditional practice. From having to attend different locations for scans, surgery and then lab work to having to wait for work to be sent away for alterations or improvements. This is what a typical approach would include. As you can see, if you choose the normal path you will have to make several stops to seperate locations. This will cost you time and money. That's why the Berkeley implant centre designed a better way. 6
Compare: The Berkeley Implant centre pathway A Simpler Solution When you re on this path, you ll be working with the same team of dental implant professionals throughout the entire process. First, you ll receive a 3D CAT scan and consultation with the team to determine the best course of treatment. You ll also get one fixed price that covers the entire procedure. When you return to The Berkeley Implant centre, the surgery will usually be done in one day and you ll walk away with fully functioning teeth. At your follow-up appointment, you ll again meet with the same team. One Team. One Cost. One Location. Are you ready to change your life? Take that first step and make your appointment today Let us answer some commonly asked questions for you: Peace of Mind Whilst you are thinking about and considering what a new fixed smile can do for you it s vital to understand what s involved and how it can change your life for the better. The team at the The Berkeley Implant Centre will walk you through the full journey from start to finish and answer each and every question you may have. We will be there to make sure that you are completely comfortable from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. Is the procedure painful? The team at The Berkeley Implant centre are world experts at delivering gentle pain free* dentistry. Depending on what procedure you are having done you can have digitally delivered local anaesthetic or intra venous sedation to make it completely comfortable. Over 90% of our patients are surprised by how pain free the process can be. 7
My teeth are really really bad. Am I still a candidate for dental implants? A lot of people come to us worried that they may not be suitable for dental implants. We are happy to say that over 99% of people that attend our centre are suitable for dental implants. You should know that even age is not necessarily a factor when determining placement position. It doesn t matter if you are missing one tooth or many, dental implants may well be the best solution for you. Unlike normal dental clinics, The Berkeley Implant Centre was created to cater for all patients. Even those with complicated cases. The easiest way to find out if you are suitable is to get in touch, take that first step and come for your consultation. I want my smile to look perfect for me. Will my teeth look false? What you need to remember is that dental implants integrate with your own jaw bone so are the closest thing to real teeth. When finished you will be able to brush, floss, eat and speak just like you had real teeth. Our master technician Cameron will be there to ensure we choose the right shape, colour and size of teeth to fit your smile. Relax in comfort knowing Our team are experts in explaining the entire process. We will be there to talk you through from start to finish. The more you know the more you can relax. We will always be here to listen and answer any ques tions. How long will the healing take? In the same way that every smile is different, every patient will have a different healing time. If you are having a single implant or just a couple then you can usually use them with soft foods straight away. If you are having a whole new smile then you can sometimes expect some mild swelling and mild discomfort. In this case we will ask you to have a soft food diet for a few weeks to allow the implants to heal fully. After that you can work up to harder foods. Once your final smile is fitted you can eat just like you did before you lost your teeth. 8
Are Dental Implants at The Berkeley Implant Centre Expensive? Because we have such precise technology and everything under one roof we can make the cost of expert advanced implants much less than it was even a few years ago. That being said, many of our patients choose to make paying for their implants easier by choosing one of our flexible payment plans. That s why The Berkeley Implant centre works closely with leading healthcare financing companies to provide payment plans for our patients who qualify. During your consultation, our Patient Education Consultant (PEC) will help you work out if financing your new smile makes life easier for you. I m nervous, Can I bring someone with me for support? We absolutely encourage you to bring a friend or loved one for support. They will be able to assist you after the procedure and more importantly see your beautiful new smile! How long does the actual full smile in one day take? Can it really be done in just one procedure visit? The answer to this is yes. The vast majority of our patients walk into the Berkeley Implant centre and walk out the same day with their new smile. To give you a basic idea of what happens read below. You will attend first thing in the morning where you will be gently sedated, the implants will be placed and you will be left to recover and relax whilst watching the TV or a film. At the end of the day your new teeth will be fitted and you will leave with your new smile. 3 to 6 months later we will replace the first smile with your final permanent one. How do I know The Berkeley Implant Centre is the best choice for me? Choosing to have dental implants is a big decision and it is wise to do your research to ensure you are getting the best of care and the best of value. The Berkeley Implant centre stands out in two very critical ways. We only use the highest quality materials, surgeons, technicians and technology. We also believe our dedication to our patient care is the reason why we have the award winning reputation that we have today. 9

What pieces make up Dental implants? Dental implants typically have three parts: 1. The implant: A medical grade titanium screw that serves as a root for your new teeth. This is what permanently attaches to your jaw. WE only use the best implants and the best surgical techniques. 2. The abutment: A permanent connector that attaches to the implant and supports the new implant tooth or teeth. Your dentist is able to remove this for maintenance or replacement. 3. The implant crown (or prosthetic tooth): This is the bit that you see above the gum and in most cases is made from high strength ceramic. We usually use zirconium or lithium disilicate crowns made by our master technician Andrew- Tawse. 12
What makes our dental implant clinic in Glasgow so special? Unlike normal dental clinics, The Berkeley Clinic was built to house everything needed to deliver a new implant smile in one day. We have our expert surgical team, our onsite dental lab, the countries most advanced milling machine as well as purpose built hospital grade treatment facilities. With everyone needed to look after you all under one roof we can make the whole process quicker, more efficient and ultimately more cost effective for you. What can dental implants replace? At our implant clinic in Glasgow, we use dental implants to replace single teeth, multiple teeth or a full upper and/or lower set of teeth. If you have a full jaw of missing or terminally damaged teeth, then our Berkeley smile in a day procedure may be perfect for you. This technique allows our surgeons to place four implants and then attach a full arch of teeth, giving the procedure its name (all teeth, only four implants). As dental implants have grown in popularity and technology has advanced, our team of experts have developed one of the worlds most precise procedures for delivering the Berkeley Implant Smile in a day. We all work together under one roof, with a fully equiped, onsite lab, to build beautiful smiles in a way that works for each and every one of our patients. 13
What is the Berkeley Implant smile in a day at our Glasgow Implant Centre? The Berkeley Implant Centre Smile in a day is for patients who need to replace a full upper or full lower set of teeth. Our expert surgeon Dr Greig Mclean will place between 4 and 6 implants and then attach a full arch of teeth. At our implant centre we can do this in just one day Stage 1: For only 99 attend our exclusive dental Implant consultation worth 399. ( 99 charge refunded when you go ahead with treatment.) Every dental implant procedure begins with a consultation. At this consultation, our surgeon and team create a customized treatment plan just for you, and you will learn exactly how much dental implants will cost you, without having to worry about any surprise fees. Pre-Procedure Exam When you have decided that you are ready to move forward with dental implants, you will meet with our master technician and surgeon again, who will finalise your treatment plan and begin to prepare everything you ll need for your procedure. Once this exam is complete, you are ready to schedule your procedure. Dental Implant Procedure This is your big day. When you walk out of your procedure, your dental implants will be in place and you ll go home with a temporary set of teeth that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. Post Procedure Check Ups It is important to keep in mind there is a recovery period following your dental implant procedure. Typically patients will be on a soft food diet for several weeks to a few months while their implants heal. During this time, the typical patient will come back in for several checkups to ensure that everything is healing properly. All of your post op checkups are at no additional cost. Receive Your Permanent Teeth This is the final step! When your mouth has finished healing and your new dental implants have stabilized, we will replace your temporary teeth with your new permanent teeth. 14
When would I need multiple dental implants at our Glasgow implant clinic? Are you missing multiple teeth but still have healthy gums and surrounding teeth? If the answer is yes then multiple implants may be the best option for you. Multi ple implants are placed upon which multiple teeth are secured in the form of bridgework or individual crowns. Occasionally, we see patients who could have multiple implants however, they are very unhappy with the appearance of their remaining teeth. In these cases they quite often choose our Berkeley smile in a day procedure. 15
What are Single Tooth Implants? Are you missing a single tooth? At our Glasgow implant clinic we see a lot of patients who have lost a single tooth, quite often it has been lost due to an accident or failed root canal treatment. If you have lost a single tooth we can replace it with a new implant and a beautiful new crown, sometimes in a single visit. 16
About The Berkeley Dental Implant Centre Are you struggling with dental issues and can t seem to find a long term solution that is allowing you to laugh, eat and smile? If the answer is yes, then a beautiful new smile created by our team of experts could be right for you. We are privileged to be part of each and every journey that our patients go on. Not only do new beautiful smiles transform lives but also have huge health benefits. Can dental implants really help prevent or reverse the signs of ageing? What most patients don t know is that when you lose natural teeth your jaw bone will shrink over time. This natural erosion of bone can leave patients with an old looking sunken in face. Fortunately, dental implants integrate with the bone and preserve bone levels keeping you looking younger and in some cases allowing the ability to make patients look over 10 years younger! What other benefits are there from dental implants? Dental implants allow for a more varied healthier diet which can have great health benefits by enabling you to eat properly again. Think what you could eat again with strong, secure teeth. Dental implants could help your overall health, too. With strong, full functioning teeth, patients can expand their diets and eat healthier foods again, like nuts and fruits. How long do dental implants last? When considering dental implants versus other options you should take into account how long they last. When properly looked after and expertly placed dental implants can last a lifetime. This makes them one of the best health investments for the long term replacement of missing or terminally damaged teeth. The current literature shows that dental implants have a 15 year survival rate of over 95%*. This is far superior to any other treatment option that is available within dentistry today. 17
What other advantages do dental implants have? Many of the thousands of patients that we have treated say that one of the biggest advantages of teeth fixed on implants is that unlike dentures they never slip, move, rub or cause pain. More importantly they don t fall out when you are laugh ing or smiling! With dental implants, you don t need the teeth adjacent to them to be drilled down and you don t need denture adhesive or a glass of water next to your bed. Are dental implants the right choice for me? The best way to understand what makes expertly placed dental implants, the best choice for hundreds of our patients is to come in and have a no obligation consul tation. So what are you waiting for. Book your consultation worth 399 for only 99 today (refundable if you go ahead with treatment) and qualify for up to 250 off your implant treatment.
