Duncan Robertson

You are making an important decision for your dental health and I hope to help you achieve the best outcome.

There are many aspects we need to cover in designing your treatment and the information we exchange will be paramount in helping you decide on the right treatment. I will do my best to explain the clinical challenges and the scientific advances we can use to achieve the best result.

As your Implantologist, I want to help you through the labyrinth of information you will need to comprehend before we can proceed with treatment. Regaining function and appearance are our objectives and there will be many factors that influence the treatment plan. Trust is essential for us to plan treatment and normally trust takes time to build. Therefore, I think a short resume about my professional experience and training may have value.

My clinical training has introduced me to many different dental specialties. Conventional dentistry has provided the basis for much of my historical dental care. Over the last 20 years, I have been asked to provide more and more implant solutions for my patients. My interests now focus on complex implant challenges and the provision of immediate restorative solutions for part and full arch needs. For the last 10 years I have seen the huge benefit in supporting my patient’s healing process with using their own blood products and will routinely use “Platelet Rich Fibrin” (PRF)

I will be happy to illustrate historical treatments relevant to your needs. This can be very useful for understanding the science, techniques, challenges and potential risks we face. I will normally provide a written treatment plan, detailing the main aspects of the proposed treatment. Planning your treatment will normally require a clinical examination, radiographs, intra-oral digital scans, photographs, 3D radiography (CBCT) and other measurements if required.

I hope this is a useful start to working together and choosing the best solutions for your needs.
