Dental Implants
Have you lost all or some of your natural teeth? Bridges, dentures and flexible dentures are not the only solutions, thanks to advances in modern dentistry. Have you heard of dental implants? Implant dentistry offers a clinically proven and safe solution to getting a great smile back and being able to bite and chew with confidence.​
​
This is how they work:
STEP 1
Assessment
You and your dentist will assess your suitability for treatment and scan your mouth with our ominiam scanner (no impressions!).
STEP 2
Cone Beam CT Scan
You will be booked an appointment at a central London scanning center where the proposed implant site(s) will be scanned ready for planning by your dentist.
STEP 3
Surgery
The implant(s) will be placed surgically using the data and information gathered.
STEP 4
Restoration
After a healing period of 3 to 6 months, the crown or bridge is then fitted onto the healed implant(s).
​
Enjoy your new functional teeth!
Life Benefit - 1
When implants are placed in the jaw, it stimulates the remaining bone to grow and mesh around the metal, along with tiny blood vessels, preventing bone loss.
Life Benefit - 2
Retaining bone structure in the jaw prevents the face from acquiring a ‘sunken’ look.
Life Benefit - 3
Dental implants help restore function so you can eat, chew and bite as usual.
Life Benefit - 4
Implants are a natural-looking way to replace missing teeth.

Testimonials
Whilst Smile House Dental Practice is proud to provide high-quality NHS dental care to our patients, we are also extremely proud of the advanced specialist level of care we are able to offer our patients on a private basis.
​
We as a practice actively aim to provide patients with thorough treatment plans and fee lists before any treatment is provided so all of our patients can rest assured that they will not encounter any unexpected surprises along the way.
​
Smile House Dental Practice has the latest up-to-date technology, equipment and materials which enables your dentist to provide unique procedures and techniques which may not be available on the NHS or which you may assume you can't afford! Private care allows us to eliminate lengthy waiting lists and enables the dentist to spend more time with their patients on a more personal level, ultimately leading to the delivery of the best possible care.

At Smile House Dental Practice as a private patient there no lengthy waiting lists, as once you have decided on your treatment plan and price as agreed with your dentist, most people by this stage are keen to complete the treatment as soon as possible.
