Dental Implants with Dr. Muataz Osman

Meet Dr. Muataz Osman: Lancashire Smiles' Dentist with a Special Interest in Periodontics (advanced gum disease) and Dental Implants.

‍

If you've been searching for an expert implant dentist in Kirkham, Preston, or the wider Fylde area, it's worth getting to know Dr. Muataz Osman, one of the dentists with a special interest at Lancashire Smiles Dental Practice. Muataz focuses his entire clinical practice on periodontics, dental implants, and oral surgery, giving patients access to a level of expertise that goes well beyond general dentistry.

Extensive Training in Periodontics and Dental Implants‍

Muataz qualified with a BDS from the University of Benghazi in 2008 and spent six years working as a General Dental Practitioner, building a strong foundation in everyday clinical care.

‍

From there, he was awarded a scholarship to pursue postgraduate training in the UK, a path that eventually led him to focus his practice almost entirely in gum health and implant surgery. Muataz is a highly qualified dentist with special interests in periodontology (gum health) and implant dentistry. After earning his BDS from the University of Benghazi in 2008 and working for six years as a general dentist, he moved to the UK on a scholarship for postgraduate training.

‍

He completed a Clinical Master's in Periodontology at the University of Manchester with distinction, followed by a Clinical PhD in Implant Dentistry, completed in 2022. He also holds postgraduate certificates in Implant Dentistry and Restorative Dentistry from the Royal College of Surgeons, as well as advanced training in full-mouth implant rehabilitation.

‍

Alongside his clinical work, Muataz is involved in teaching and mentoring, including as an Honorary Clinical Tutor at the University of Manchester. He is also a member of several leading professional dental organisations, including the British Society of Periodontology and the European Association for Osseointegration.

Dental Implants, Gum Disease and Oral Surgery Treatment

Dental Implants

Muataz places dental implants for patients missing a single tooth, several teeth, or an entire arch. Treatment starts with a full head CBCT scan, which allows him to assess bone quality and density before planning exactly where each implant should sit. From there, he builds a personalised treatment plan covering the number of implants needed, the surgical approach, and costs.

‍

If bone density is insufficient to support an implant, he also carries out bone grafting to build up the site first. For patients missing most or all of their teeth, he offers full mouth implant rehabilitation, replacing an entire arch with a fixed, permanent solution rather than removable dentures.

Gum Disease and Periodontal Treatment

Periodontics is Muataz's core specialism, covering both the diagnosis and treatment of gum disease and peri-implant disease (inflammation or infection around existing implants). His treatments include:

• Non-surgical gum therapy for early and moderate gum disease
• Open flap debridement for more advanced periodontal infection
• Regeneration procedures using bone and tissue grafting materials
• Hard and soft tissue grafting to rebuild lost gum and bone
• Crown lengthening for both functional and cosmetic reasons
• Root coverage procedures to treat gum recession

Because gum health underpins the long-term success of any implant, having a periodontist with a special interest in this area involved in implant planning reduces the risk of complications and helps implants last.

Oral Surgery

Beyond implants and gum treatment, Muataz carries out oral surgical procedures connected to these areas, including complex extractions and surgical site preparation, always with the same emphasis on careful diagnostic planning before any procedure begins.

Why Choose Dr Muataz Osman for Dental Implants? 

Dental implants and periodontal treatment are not one-size-fits-all procedures. Bone loss, gum recession, and existing dental work all affect what's possible and how a treatment plan should be structured. Having a clinician with Muataz's level of training in this special interest area means patients at Lancashire Smiles get thorough assessment, a clear explanation of their options, and a treatment plan tailored to their mouth rather than a generic protocol.

‍

If you're dealing with loose or missing teeth, receding or bleeding gums, or you're simply curious whether implants are right for you, Dr. Muataz Osman is available for consultations at Lancashire Smiles Dental Practice in Kirkham, serving patients across Preston, Blackpool, Lytham St Annes, and the wider Fylde coast.
