Dr Melanie Edwards @ West Parade Dental Care

About

West Parade Dental Care in Lincoln brings together a team of partners and clinicians with a strong focus on implant dentistry. Dr Melanie Edwards, a partner, concentrates solely on treating dental implant patients and holds MFDS from the Royal College of Surgeons of England, a Diploma in Implant Dentistry from the University of Bristol, and an implant dentistry qualification via the University of Bristol Masters course. Patients can self-refer, alongside referrals from local dentists and from within the practice. The practice describes Dr Edwards as a well-established local dentist rather than a visiting implant surgeon, with care continuing at the practice if maintenance is needed later. Her background includes placing over a hundred implants a year and an audited success rate of 97.94%, and the site states that she can guarantee most implant and associated restorative cases for five years, with implant survival rate quoted as 98%. Treatment planning is supported by detailed assessment and specific implant-related equipment, including a 3D CBCT scanning machine to assess bone volume before surgery, plus an Ostell RFA device to check implant bond strength after placement. The practice also outlines bone grafting options such as separate bone block and sinus grafting, with periodontal issues addressed first by the team when required.
