Overview
What a dental implant actually is
A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. Once it has fused with the bone (osseointegration, 8–12 weeks) we attach an abutment and a custom zirconia crown. The result looks, feels and chews like your own tooth, protects the jawbone from shrinking, and never needs the neighbouring teeth to be ground down the way a bridge does.
Who is a good candidate?
- One or more missing teeth, or teeth that cannot be saved
- Healthy gums and enough bone (we graft if not, often in the same visit)
- Non-smokers or willing to pause around surgery
- Adults of any age; our oldest implant patient was 84

OngoingMaterials we use, and why it matters
We only place implant systems with 20+ years of published survival data: Straumann® BLX / SLActive and Nobel Biocare® Active. Every implant has a serial number and a manufacturer passport you take home. Crowns are milled from multilayer zirconia in our own laboratory, which is why we can adjust shade and shape overnight rather than shipping work abroad.

Frequently asked
No. Surgery is done under local anaesthetic, with IV sedation available at no extra cost. Most patients describe the following days as "a dull ache, less than a filling".
For full-arch All-on-4/6 yes, with an immediate-load acrylic bridge. For single implants we strongly recommend two trips so the crown is fitted on a fully integrated implant.
You have a 24/7 WhatsApp line to your dentist, partner clinics in the UK, Germany and the Netherlands for in-person checks, and our guarantee covers flights and hotel if a remake is ever needed.
