Dental Implants
A natural looking solution to missing teeth
Dental Implants in London
Why consider Dental Implants?
Do you have missing teeth? If you do then dental implants could be an alternative for you. If you don’t replace missing teeth then over a period of time your gums and bone can resorb where the tooth is missing, this means that in the future if you decided you wanted to have an implant it may either be very difficult or you may need some form of bone grafting in order to rebuild the bone.
Your teeth are also in perfect harmony with one another, so if a tooth is removed then the tendency is for the adjacent teeth, and the opposing teeth to fall into the space where the old tooth was. Over time this can begin to affect your ability to chew and may also affect your bite. Bite problems can lead to difficulties eating and may also lead to headaches and other problems around the jaw.
This means that if you have teeth missing there is a biological and health reason to do everything you can to replace them, not to mention aesthetic reason.
What are Dental implants?
In basic terms dental implants are a man made and manufactured alternative to the natural root of your tooth. Generally speaking implants are made from high specification dental and medical grade titanium. The amazing thing is that the human body does not recognise titanium as a foreign object, this means the dental implant will totally integrate with the natural surroundings of your jaw.
The dental implant is placed into the jaw where your natural root used to be, on top of this we create a natural looking replacement for the tooth.
The overall result is that no one would know you have ever had a tooth missing.

How are implants used, what is the procedure?
The procedure for placing the dental implant is a minor surgical one which most patients have under a local anaesthetic. However if you are especially nervous of the dentist then we can provide oral sedation to help you relax during the entire procedure.
If you have a single tooth missing then we will only use a single dental implant. If you have two teeth missing then two dental implants will probably be used. However, if you have three, four or even five teeth missing then the chances are we will still only use two dental implants, and suspend the remaining teeth between these dental implants.
This keeps the cost of dental implants lower and means the whole process is slightly simpler.
Implants are an ideal solution for replacing Missing Teeth, Bridges or Dentures and are the next best thing to natural teeth. The tooth would be fixed to your jawbone allowing us to build a permanently secure and natural looking tooth.
Cost of dental implants
As with many things in dentistry to give an exact cost of dental implants is particularly difficult. There are so many variables such as bone grafting, sedation, number of teeth missing and the location of teeth missing which will affect the overall price and cost of dental implants. To make the whole process simpler we have added a voucher to the right hand side of his website which entitles you to a massive 60% saving on our initial assessment consultation. This is an ideal opportunity to discuss implants with us further.
Dental Implant Problems
Dental implants have a very high success rate and typically last many years. One of the problems with replacing teeth with a dental bridge, for example, is that the natural teeth underneath the bridge could possibly require further treatment at a later stage. With dental implants, because we don’t have to involve the adjacent teeth, this keeps them healthy and so the dental implant stands a higher chance of surviving for longer period of time.
Overall this means that the problems with dental implants are very few and far between.
One of the biggest causes of problems with dental implants is if the patient smokes, this is a particular contraindication to having implants as it impedes the ability for your gum to heal in the event of any problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that whether you’re fearful of the dentist or not, the idea of dental implants can be a daunting one, but there’s no need to be concerned. Here at the Dental Centre London, we perform all of our implant procedures under local anaesthetic, with the option of oral sedation for especially nervous patients. So there should be no pain or discomfort at all during this minor procedure.
Of course, the more implants you have the more discomfort you may experience in the days following your treatment, but this should easily be managed by over the counter pain medications.
Yes. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, we can help. We will often suspend prosthetic teeth between two implants where there are a number of teeth missing, helping to keep costs down and making the procedure more straightforward.
When you choose us to perform your dental implant treatment, you will receive thorough aftercare as well as plenty of information to take home that will help you to maintain your new smile.
We do advise any patients who previously smoked try to quit, as smoking can prevent the gums healing and could lead to complications with your new implant. We will also advise you on the best ways to clean your new implants, although care is not too dissimilar to regular oral maintenance so it should be easy to keep up with.
Dental implants can reinstate confidence and a full, healthy smile – and the great news is that there is no age limit to who can have them fitted. Generally speaking, dental implants aren’t recommended for children or teens under 18 years of age, but there is no upper limit.
The cost of dental implants in London can vary dramatically depending on a range of factors, including how many implants are needed and what sort of preparations are necessary.
Here at The Dental Centre London, we don’t want finances to get in the way of you achieving the smile you deserve, which is why we work hard to offer competitive rates for our implants, as well as any prep work that may need to be carried out such as bone grafting.
To find out more about our fees, please feel free to get in touch.
We understand that the process of getting dental implants can feel like a long one, but it’s more than worth it for the fantastic end result! Once your procedure is complete, it can take anywhere between 6-12 weeks for the gums to fully heal. Once healing has taken place, you should start to notice that you can smile, eat and drink as though they were your own teeth.
Our high quality dental implants in London are designed to last for several years, but they do require the same levels of care as your natural teeth would in order to get the very best out of them.
If you brush and floss regularly, and ensure you attend all your check-ups, you could enjoy your new smile for well over 30 years, making it a much more long-term solution when compared to the likes of dentures.

This practice has the BEST customer service ever you could get in UK not only medical industry but also entire... industry.
.
I am a PhD student at UCL. Firstly, I found the pracrice at UCL website and they take care of UCL students. Thus, I went to the practice because of terrifying toothache from wisdom tooth. I was panicked from upcoming intense pain but the receptionist tried to make me calm down and tried me to go throw emergency session ASAP on the day I just registered. Even the doctor was very calm and friendly. I could see he tried to arrange the next session ASAP to get rid of the horrifying pain.
.
They are 100/100 professional with their title.
.
I STRONGLY recommend this practice.
.
Additionally they have [specialist orthodontist].read more

I’ve been coming to Dr Jones for about ten years now and I’ve always been impressed by her attention to detail. I’m a... fairly nervous patient and she’s done some fairly complex work on me with utterly no pain and to a really high standard.
I had grinding pain for a number of years and she’s tailored a splint for me to successfully get rid of it. I briefly tried a new dentist when I moved house, but it just wasn’t the same and have since returned to her and now make the long commute to see her because of the level of care she provides. Highly recommend!read more

Been to my second appointment at dental smiles had my impressions done it was a breeze, I have a diabolical gagging... reflex so I did what Dr Patel asked me to do and I went through it without any gagging whatsoever, in past times at other dentists it was always a rush to get you in and out with no consideration for the patients but at dental smiles what they have to do you comes second the nerves disappear after a reassuring chat and gentle approach they go through everything without any problems, which is why this is the dental practice to head for when you have any problems what so ever, don't be afraid of this practice, they are out of this world, ggggreat workread more

Told I needed a crown for a simple filling which fell out. Decided to trust her word and get it done. When the... temporary filling fell out, she was unavailable for a week, while I called every day, walking around with a hole in my mouth. Turns out she actually was in the practice, but was too keen to leave every day at 5pm to provide basic care to her customers.
Also told I needed a filling on another tooth for a superficial spot of decay. Saw another dentist about this who advised this is an out of date practice - superficial decay can recover and is best left to heal until it becomes a problem. Now I suspect the crown was also overkill to hand out a larger bill.
I was also advised to get a splint, which would cost £900 - the "Rolls Royce" of splints (how very professional...). Another dentist advised that this can be done for £450. Not the same "Rolls Royce" - but they at least provide a more affordable option.
Takes ages to get appointments - don't expect anything for 2 weeks. Receptionist seems to think she runs the practice.
Bottom line is this place is run as a business, not a health care facility. Private patients are subsidising care for students, but don't expect any better service for your hard earned money - you're just a number in their books, and they're going to try making that number as large as possible.read more

Good price and friendly, but I was told I need a filling however another dentist (who family members have used and... trusted for years) assured me that I don’t. I got the impression that they were more interested in me spending money than the health of my teeth. The dentist also recommended I pay something like £50 to attend a session on brushing. Overall not great.read more

Carla and her team have looked after my teeth for 5 years now and I have always received excellent service even though... I can be an awkward patient particularly with taking impressions. Under her care I have become a less nervous dental patient. Gemma the hygienist also performs wonders to my teeth and in a very professional manner. The surgery has ultra modern equipment, with excellent reception staff who are always helpful. I highly recommend the practice.read more
