    "I always have a good experience at this dentist. Appointments are usually prompt and no fuss booking. Worth noting that because of the age of the building some of the ceilings are low and there are lots of steep stairs down the waiting area so that might put some off but I have no trouble. Saw the hygienist for the first time on this trip and she was wonderful, very attentive and we had a good giggle. I am very pleased with the results. They never try to push extra treatments or whitening which I really appreciate."

  • NHS Choices 5 out of 5

    "I have had a long history with a lower tooth which had not been properly resolved with a previous dentist so after a few weeks of misery caused by the increasing toothache, I contacted this practice. As soon as I spoke to the team I was filled with confidence that they would sort out the issue which they did that day. One particular dentist was excellent, extremely professional and compassionate. She extracted the tooth as requested and prescribed a course of antibiotics for the infection which had been causing the toothache. I also want to give a shout to the rest of the team including the lady on the front of house. All in all excellent service which I would highly recommend."

    "Went to the dentist a few weeks ago and was told I needed to come back for a deep clean. The dentist and his dental nurse were very kind and reassuring during both visits. He told me what he was going to do and what to do if I needed him to stop. He was very gentle and it didn’t hurt at all. The dental nurse and dentist had a conversation between themselves which made me feel at ease. The receptionist was also friendly. The surgery it self is very nice too, feels nothing like a dentist! Made a very anxious patient not so anxious and I will actually go back for future check ups!"

What are dental implants?
Dental implants are a fixed solution for missing teeth that are the closest possible replacement for natural teeth. They involve one or more titanium screws being inserted into your jawbone to mimic a natural tooth root. Dental crowns are securely attached to these to fill the gaps in your mouth. Because dental implants are securely anchored in your jaw you’ll have the confidence to comfortably eat whatever you like.

The main benefits of dental implants:

  • Replace loose-fitting dentures
  • Maintain bone structure after tooth loss
  • Improve the appearance of your smile
  • Boost your confidence
  • Function and feel just like natural teeth
  • Improve chewing and speaking
  • Long term solution
  • High success rate

Dental implants are a well-established treatment for replacing missing teeth. As they are inserted directly into your jawbone they help prevent bone loss or movement of your remaining teeth, helping to maintain the structure of your face.

  • Consultation Your initial consultation will be with either our Implant Surgeon or Treatment Coordinator (TCO), who can discuss the different types of implants, single or multiple depending on your need. Following this there may be a need for a more clinical focused consultation.

  • Diagnostic Scans We will carry out a number of digital scans, to build a digital 3D model of your mouth so we can get a clear picture of the area we will place the implant, and a more detailed X-ray using a Cone Beam Computer Tomography scanner so that our Implant surgeon can assess the state of the bone below the gum to get a really clear picture of your treatment need.

  • Treatment Plan Once our experienced implant surgeon has assessed all of you scans they will explain the nature of your treatment, the stages involved and costs. We offer flexible payment options to make implants even more affordable.

  • Commence Treatment Once you are happy we will begin treatment. The length and numbers of appointments will vary depending on the complexity of your particular need, but your Implant Surgeon will have detailed all of this in your treatment plan.

  • Implant Placed Once the implant(s) are placed it may be necessary it might be necessary to allow time for healing before attaching the replacement teeth. Once we are happy the implant has healed we will arrange a series of appointments to fabricate the replacement teeth.

  • Aftercare Your Implant Surgeon will advise you about looking after your implant and may well give you some painkillers to help with the pain over the days after your surgery as well as detailed advice about cleaning the implants and the teeth attached to them.

Who we are

At {my}dentist we have the UK’s largest network of clinicians who will listen to your individual smile goals and deliver high quality, safe, convenient and affordable care.

We only work with dental clinicians

As well as our network of dentists we also have a UK-wide network of qualified orthodontists, should you need more complex treatment.

Whatever your needs you can relax in the knowledge that we can help.

All {my}dentist patients have their treatment overseen by a UK registered dentist. We will make sure that your teeth and overall oral health are in good shape before we start teeth straightening and check in with you regularly to make sure that the treatment is progressing as planned. That means you can rest assured that at the end of treatment your teeth will look and feel great. All of our practices are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the UK’s healthcare governing body, and are subject to the strictest clinical protocols.
