    "I have been with this dental practice for over 11 years, since it was in The Crescent, with several different dentists, and they have all been excellent. The surgeries are bright and clean and (as far as I can tell!) very well equipped and modern. My current dentist, Branislav Popovic, is polite and charming makes me feel at ease and safe, and the dental nurse was the same, which is very important as I was always a very nervous patient. All of the dentists I have been treated by in this practice have been the same, and I have never felt any pain with any of them. I can happily recommend this excellent dental practice. The only negative I should point out is that a couple of the receptionists were less than welcoming on my recent visit. Even if they were busy a smile would go a long way..."

    "It is not good enough to receive a message " your call cannot be completed at present, please try later". Hopeless trying to get through today. I hope the manager can check average response times and find out what is going on, and also substitute a more user-friendly answer-phone message such as putting the caller in a queue and telling him/her what position in the queue he/she is. Not impressed. Fortunately the actual dental service is very good, just let down by reception."

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.
