- Your visits and initial stay

Detailed planning and costs
Make room for assessment,
healing and review.
A clear written estimate
Clarify consultation, surgery, graft materials, temporary teeth, final restorations and follow-up costs. Ask what is included and what could change if the findings alter the plan.
The location for your visit
Appointments take place at collaborating dental clinics in Barcelona. The clinical location is confirmed when your visit is arranged.
Care after you return home
Our team reviews you before the transition to local follow-up. Agree your local dentist’s role, the records they need and how to contact us about a concern. Further treatment stages may still require a return to Barcelona.
Include travel, accommodation and possible return visits in your budget. Check cover for planned treatment directly with your insurer. For an independent preparation guide, see the NHS treatment-abroad checklist; its funding information is specific to the UK.
Our clinical focus
When your care needs
a considered surgical approach.
From gum recession to complex bone reconstruction, the first task is to understand the condition and the realistic options. You can contact us about a new concern, previous treatment or a proposed plan.
Bone & implant reconstruction
When the foundation needs rebuilding.
Bone loss, a deficient ridge or a previous implant problem may call for a staged reconstruction. Complex bone and soft tissue surgery is a core focus of OsteoPerio.
Gum & soft tissue surgery
When the surrounding tissue matters.
Receding gums, exposed roots or tissue changes around implants need assessment of the gum, bone and tooth or implant position together.
Complex second opinions
When you need a clearer plan.
If you have had previous surgery, conflicting advice or a proposed reconstruction, a second opinion can help clarify the options and their limitations.
Your care pathway
Before you travel.
Beyond the treatment visit.
Before the consultation
Share your concern and records.
Tell us where you live, what concerns you and your preferred language. The team will explain the documentation needed and how to share it before scheduling your video consultation.
Video consultation
Meet both doctors from home.
With the full documentation available, Sahand and Sergi review your case together. They explain the diagnosis based on those records and discuss the proposed treatment, alternatives and sequence before you travel.
In Barcelona
Confirm the plan in person.
An examination checks the findings against the records and confirms the plan before treatment. Discuss any changes, fees and the arrangements for each surgical or restorative stage.
Healing & onward care
Stay for the initial healing review.
Depending on your surgery, plan to remain in Barcelona through the initial healing phase and review with our team. After that assessment, follow-up can continue with your local dentist as agreed; some plans also require return visits.
Start with what you already have.
A short enquiry is enough to begin. You do not need to arrange a new scan just to contact us.
Tell us about your concern- Your concern: symptoms, previous treatment and what you would like to understand.
- Existing records: mention any photographs, radiographs, CBCT, treatment reports or implant details you have.
- Your circumstances: country of residence, language and possible travel period.
The enquiry form does not upload files. The team will explain which records are required before the video consultation and how to share them, including the relevant medical history.
Your team in Barcelona

Your questions
Clarity before you commit to travel.
Can I speak with both doctors before travelling?
Yes. Scheduled video consultations are offered with Dr. Sahand Shirzadi Maryan and Dr. Sergi Rivas Frau. Start with an international enquiry. The team will explain the records required, scheduling and any consultation fee before the appointment.
Can you give me a diagnosis and treatment plan on the video call?
Once the full documentation has been received, both doctors can explain the diagnosis based on those records and the proposed treatment plan during your video consultation. The in-person examination in Barcelona confirms the findings before treatment. Additional findings can change the plan or the required investigations.
How many trips will I need?
That depends on the treatment and healing. Grafting, implant placement and the final restoration may happen at different stages. The video consultation helps map the expected visits; the sequence is confirmed through examination and healing reviews.
How long should I stay before flying home?
According to the type of surgery, you will be asked to stay in Barcelona through the initial healing phase and a review with our team. Agree the expected stay before booking and discuss your return journey with the treating clinician. Recovery can change the original travel plan.
Do I need a new scan before contacting you?
No. Start by telling us what records you already have. Existing radiographs, a CBCT scan or previous reports may be useful. The team will explain what is needed for the video consultation; new imaging should be requested only when a clinician considers it appropriate.
Who will provide my surgery and implant restorations?
Private care is provided by Dr. Sergi Rivas Frau and/or Dr. Sahand Shirzadi Maryan according to your agreed plan. Our team provides both the surgical treatment and the restorations afterwards, including crowns, bridges and full-arch teeth. Before you travel, we confirm who will carry out each stage, the appointments needed for provisional and definitive restorations, the fees and the follow-up arrangements. Any care with your dentist at home is agreed separately.
Can my dentist at home provide follow-up?
Yes. After the initial healing review with our team, follow-up can continue with your local dentist as agreed. Confirm their involvement and the responsibilities of both teams before treatment, including any later visits to Barcelona and possible local fees.
What if I have a problem after returning home?
Agree contact arrangements and the review plan before treatment. Contact the treating team about concerns. If you need urgent assessment, seek local dental care rather than waiting for a remote reply or arranging a flight first.
Is the reduced-fee supervised programme available?
The supervised programme is still in preparation and is not yet bookable. International enquiries currently follow the private-care pathway. Its future availability and eligibility will be explained separately.
