"I remember Dr Khaira every time I chew my food and thank him for his gift. I also recall the charming hours I spent in his stunning practice which witnesses his dedicated work with intense concentration. What dedication! What professional perfection! Dr Khaira has become a healer who blends the science and art of implanting of teeth with the least pain or discomfort and with the maximum speed and beauty.

"Dr Khaira, at last I'm in full possession of my "new" teeth and the result of your artistry in making them resemble my former natural ones is plain to see. Yes, they really do look just like the real thing and I can't thank you and your team enough for your splendid work.
From start to finish the treatment took five months and throughout that time Barnton Dental Spa's approach was always professional, but friendly at all levels. The initial Treatment Plan, with costing and diary, was impressive and I have no hesitation in recommending Barnton Dental Spa's services to all.
When discussing the procedure with friends, their looks of horror at the thought of having large pins screwed into the jawbone was a delight to see, as in reality it was no worse than having teeth extracted. The cost was seen as reasonable, particularly in view of the amount of work and expertise required.
I am indebted to Dr Khaira. Thank you for everything. "

I was never happy with a denture for my one tooth space and I am delighted that the implant suggested and done by Dr Khaira has worked perfectly. The staff in the very modern surgery are all very helpful and pleasant.

I recently completed implant treatment at Barnton Dental Spa. The whole experience from start to finish was excellent thanks to Dr Pritpal Khaira and his wonderful team. I had an initial consultation with Dr Khaira, who advised me of the various options open to me. I decided to explore the implant surgery further, and had a consultation at Barnton Dental Spa with the brilliant Dr Abid Faqir, who is one of Britain's finest implant specialists. He explained all the stages of the procedure in great detail, including the cost of the treatment. I can assure you there was no "hard sell' to take the implants, and it was left to me to proceed or not.
Having agreed to begin the treatment, the first part of the implant was fitted. The entire treatment took place in the comfort of Barnton Dental Spa, which was so much more convenient than having to travel.
There was very little pain involved in the entire procedure, and I was given several numbers to call in the event of any enquiries. This gave me great peace of mind.
The final stage of the treatment involved having the abutment screwed into the socket and the impressions for the final bridge. This part of the treatment really impressed me, with both Abid, and Pritz making sure the fit and colour was perfect. This process took a few adjustments, but it was well worth it as the final look is great, and matched my existing bridge perfectly.
I would thoroughly recommend the Barnton Dental Spa to anyone who wants a great job done in a relaxed and professional environment.

Now that my implant treatment is complete I feel I must write to show my appreciation of the service and consideration given over the period. The treatment went exactly as laid out in the initial consultation and was completed to my entire satisfaction. I am thrilled with the outcome and will certainly recommend Dr Khaira's services to others.

The decision to have an implant stemmed from the day one of my front teeth broke off when eating a raw carrot - so much for vegetables being good for you? During the subsequent consultation, I was given various remedial options which included a denture or a bridge. A crown was not possible in my case because the root was too small.I had a temporary denture fitted and found this spoiled my enjoyment of food and reduced my confidence greatly. Not wishing to have two good teeth effectively filed down to accommodate a bridge, I decided upon the implant.
I suffered no pain whatsoever during the entire process of implanting the pin, inserting the extension pin and then finally fitting the new tooth.
I appreciate implants are reasonably expensive but the positive impact which it has had on my confidence since being fitted has made it good value for money and I would have others fitted if required.

Dental implants; two words which changed me from being someone who wore a denture from age 15 to a person who no longer wore a denture and could smile with confidence for the first time in many years. Incredible.At first the treatment seemed daunting; sinus lifts and bone grafting before implants could be placed and then months of healing. Truly scary at times. However, Dr Abid Faqir, who did the work, was so professional and competent that I felt safe in his hands.
After sinus augmentation the swelling left me resembling a chipmunk for a few days followed by the "bearded lady look" as the purple bruising worked down my face. However, there was no pain. Later, frontal bone grafting gave me the " Miss Piggy meets Planet of the Apes" look. Again there was no pain. Indeed, there was never any pain at any time during the treatment.
Nearly a year later the final day arrived and the work was complete. I was truly stunned and delighted by the new me in the mirror to the extent that I was speechless. (most unusual!)
Abid Faqir is an exceptional dentist who has performed a miracle. No more denture. I can never thank him enough. All the team including Dr Khaira, his wife Rajdeep, dental nurse Fiona and Gursinder Khaira have been fantastic; calming and supportive when I was so nervous and apprehensive.
The new smile is wonderful and I consider myself so lucky to have been treated by Abid Faqir.
This has meant so much to me and was something I never thought was possible. A huge thank you to Abid, Dr Khaira and to all the staff at the Barnton Dental Spa for making this happen.

Having had to remove the upper right second premolar, the only option I had was to place an implant as my other teeth were not suitable enough to support a bridge. It’s always a tough decision because it’s a very complex and expensive treatment and I wanted to make sure I was in the very best hands.
I found Dr Khaira’s practice online and asked for a quote. From the very first moment I walked through the door, I was treated with care. I got a very good quote (with a free dental consultation) and clear advice- everything was explained in detail. The practice itself is very modern and exceptionally clean. Every member of staff is very friendly and helpful. The implant procedure in itself was very professional and performed to the highest standard.
After a few months my new tooth was placed. The shade was a perfect match and just after a few days I’d stopped feeling it was even there. I can chew, bite and smile again (yes, I did get out of the habit of smiling)
A big thank you to Dr Khaira, Dr Faqir, Gursinder, Shelli and all others.

The damage to the root of one of my front teeth left me with only a few options to replace the tooth. The options included a bridge or a plate, both of which would have not been a natural replacement.
Dr Khaira suggested an implant which would give me back a 'working' tooth with no plate or attachments. Dr Khaira and the team were excellent in talking me through all the steps. I was very well informed throughout the process and was always clear on what was happening. The new ceramic tooth matched perfectly with the other teeth in shape and colour.
After the implant procedure which all went to plan, I now have a perfectly matching new tooth, which does not even look like an implant, and a great new smile.

My dental implants have transformed me. I just feel so good about the way my smile looks. I am much more conversational because of my new found confidence. Thanks to Dr Khaira for a life altering dental makeover.

Residing in London, at first, I relied on the website and phone communication for making the right clinical choice. I am very pleased with the entire treatment process. Having been provided with ridiculous quotes and treatment options in London, I was fed and decided to take a train to Edinburgh, and am glad that I did. Dr Khaira and his dedicated staff were very polite, impartial and professional, every stage of the process was patiently & clearly explained until I understood which is what I appreciated. Dr Khaira provided a reasonable quote, knowing the trips I would need to make to complete the treatment. This included implants along with bone grafting due to gum disease around all four incisors. Sincerest thanks to Dr Khaira, I am able to smile again with confidence and fully recommend his services.

A relative recommended me to Barnton Dental Spa. From the moment I made my first appointment at Barnton Dental Spa the service has been nothing but first class. On arriving I was greeted by Gursinder with her professional and friendly manner making me feel welcome and at ease. I had a problem with a tooth that had been root canal treated in the past. This tooth had to be removed (help!!!) I'm very fond of my teeth. Dr Khaira took time to discuss all the options with me. We decided the best treatment for me was an implant. Every stage of the procedure was carefully explained to me. I have to say that I thought I would have experienced some pain or discomfort but I was pleasantly surprised. No pain and little discomfort. I am very happy with the end result. I can smile and eat with confidence. Thank you Dr Khaira and all your staff for making this an enjoyable and pain free experience.
