World-class dental implants near Harley Street, London

At Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, we understand that missing teeth affect not only how you look but also how you live. Our dental implants in London offer a permanent, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring function, aesthetics, and confidence.

Using advanced 3D digital planning and computer-guided implant surgery, our implant dentists ensure every implant is placed with absolute precision under sterile, comfortable conditions. Each implant is made from biocompatible titanium and restored with a handcrafted ceramic crown, perfectly matched to your smile.

How do dental implants work?

Dental implants act as artificial roots, supporting a prosthetic tooth that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. Once the titanium post integrates with your jawbone (a process known as osseointegration), it provides a stable foundation for a ceramic crown, bridge, or denture.

Implants also help prevent jawbone loss, maintaining the structure of your face and protecting the health of surrounding teeth. Compared to bridges or dentures, implants provide superior stability, comfort, and longevity.

Types of dental implants we offer

Our clinic provides a comprehensive range of implant treatment options tailored to every need, from single-tooth restoration to full mouth rehabilitation.

Single dental implant

Ideal for replacing one missing tooth, this procedure restores both function and appearance.

Multiple dental implants

For patients missing several teeth, we can place multiple implants to support bridges or partial dentures, maintaining full chewing ability.

Full mouth implants (All-on-4 and All-on-6)

Also known as “teeth-in-a-day”, these systems replace a full set of upper or lower teeth using four or six implants. The procedure is faster, less invasive, and offers immediate results.

Zygomatic implants

In cases of significant bone loss, zygomatic implants provide a secure anchor point without the need for grafting, offering a solution for even the most complex cases.

Immediate implants (same-day implants)

We are highly experienced in immediate implant placement, where an implant is positioned directly after tooth extraction. This approach preserves bone and soft tissue, shortens treatment time, and enhances aesthetic results.

The main advantage of same-day implants is that the surgical process is completed in one appointment. This keeps the extraction socket protected, reduces the risk of infection, and maintains gum health.

Who is suitable for dental implants?

Most adults with one or more missing teeth are suitable candidates for dental implants. The ideal patient has healthy gums, sufficient bone density, and good oral hygiene.

Certain medical conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes, smoking, or immune-related health issues, can affect healing and implant success. During your consultation, we use advanced imaging to assess bone quality and discuss the most effective treatment for your individual case.

What happens during the dental implant procedure?

1. Consultation and planning

We begin with a comprehensive assessment, including 3D X-rays, photographs, and digital scans to plan your procedure precisely.

2. Implant placement

Under local anaesthesia, the titanium implant is placed into the jawbone using computer-guided navigation for absolute precision.

3. Healing and integration

Over several weeks, the implant naturally integrates with your bone. Temporary restorations may be fitted during this period for comfort and aesthetics.

4. Final restoration

Once healed, we fit your handcrafted ceramic crown, bridge, or denture, designed to match your natural teeth perfectly.

For suitable patients, same-day implants are available for faster treatment and immediate results.

Full mouth restoration and smile transformations from an experienced implant surgeon

For patients needing full mouth rehabilitation, teeth-in-a-day (All-on-4 or All-on-6) offers remarkable smile transformations. This modern procedure replaces an entire arch of missing teeth in a single day, providing stability, strength, and stunning results.

Our expertise in complex cases, including bone loss and failed previous implants, allows us to provide bespoke implant solutions for every patient.

Unrivalled patient satisfaction

Patient satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do. Every smile we restore reflects our commitment to precision, safety, and artistry.

Our 4.9★ Google rating and hundreds of positive reviews demonstrate the trust our patients place in our Marylebone clinic for premium implant care.

The old approach vs our modern technique

Historically, implant treatment followed a slow, staged process. The damaged tooth was removed, the patient waited three months wearing a removable denture, the implant was then placed and buried under the gum to heal, and finally, after another four weeks, the implant was uncovered and restored. This drawn-out journey meant it could take up to 12 months before the patient received a proper tooth again.

Our approach is completely different. With advanced diagnostics, including a 3D X-ray (CBCT) and digital scan, we map the exact position of your bone and teeth. Christian compares this to navigating a ship:

The diagnostic scan tells us where we are.
The digital setup shows where we want to go, your final tooth.
Guided surgery gives us the perfect route to get there.

Using this data, we design the ideal tooth position, plan the implant virtually, and create a bespoke surgical guide for millimetre-accurate placement.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend this dental practice highly enough. Professor Mehl has provided an exceptional standard of care and professionalism, and I have been genuinely impressed by both his expertise and his approach to patient care.

He is exceptionally kind, patient and reassuring, and completely non-judgemental. I have never felt embarrassed or uncomfortable discussing my dental hygiene, and he has always made me feel at ease. His positive and compassionate manner immediately puts you at ease, even if you are someone who feels anxious about dental treatment.

What I particularly appreciate is the personal level of care he provides. He remembers me personally, greets me when I arrive and genuinely takes an interest in me as a patient. This makes such a difference and is something I have rarely experienced elsewhere.

I am currently saving towards an implant, and Professor Mehl went above and beyond by building a temporary tooth. I was incredibly touched by this gesture and it is a wonderful example of the kindness and consideration he shows his patients.

He is also exceptionally skilled, even the injections were completely painless, which is something I have never experienced with another dentist!

I would also like to mention Jennifer (dental therapist) who is absolutely wonderful. She gave me an incredibly thorough deep clean, yet somehow managed to make the entire experience completely comfortable and pain-free. She did an exceptional job, and I was so impressed with the care and attention to detail she showed throughout. Jennifer is also incredibly warm and personable, her smile genuinely brightens the room. Like Professor Mehl, she remembers me personally, which makes every visit feel welcoming and reassuring rather than clinical.

I am extremely grateful for the care I have received from the whole team. Professor Mehl and Jennifer combine exceptional professionalism and expertise with genuine kindness and compassion. It is clear that they truly care about their patients, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this practice to anyone looking for outstanding dental care.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was on vacation in London, and a crown came off during my first full day there.  I was literally 4,000 miles from home, and, as luck would have it, I was near the Wimpole Street Dental Clinic. The receptionist could see the panic on my face when I walked through the door.  He calmed me down by assuring me that he would make sure I got fixed up right away.  Soon after, I saw the dentist.  He was excellent.  Fixed me up in no time.  I was able to enjoy the rest of my bucket-list trip without worrying about my teeth!  I can't thank them enough!  If you have dental needs, I highly recommend stopping in!  Here's a pic of me with the doc and his staff after they fixed my crown—such a great group of people.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional dental care you can trust.

I first visited Dr. Raul Costa for an emergency appointment regarding a root treated tooth that had flared up. He was incredibly reassuring, calm, listened to my concerns, and took great care in explaining my options. Instead of pushing for an expensive implant, he referred me to an endodontist to try and save the tooth. Four years later, it is perfectly restored.
Dr. Costa is a highly competent dentist who combines exceptional skill, experience, and artistic talent. He only uses high quality materials to make sure any restorations last. He cares deeply about his patients, listens to your concerns, puts you at ease, and works with a fantastic team who are kind and supportive. I still get compliments on my smile today. If you want first class dentistry and are looking for someone who can create a natural and artistically beautiful smile, he’s the go-to dentist I would recommend to everyone.

FAQs

Common questions about dental implants, answered clearly and honestly.

How much do dental implants cost in London?

The cost of dental implants in London depends on your oral health, bone density, and treatment plan. Prices at Wimpole Street Dental Clinic start from £2,200 per implant. Full-mouth smile transformations using All-on-4 implants begin from £15,000 per arch. Same-day dental implants and complex implant procedures requiring bone grafting or sinus lifts may cost more because of the additional work involved. We discuss the most suitable options at your consultation, and you receive a written, itemised plan before any treatment starts.

Do you have to brush dental implants?

Yes. Dental implants are an artificial replacement for missing teeth and, while not susceptible to decay, they must still be carefully maintained. We advise daily brushing with an electric toothbrush, interdental brushes, and floss designed for implants to remove plaque and protect gum health. Regular hygiene appointments and annual implant reviews are essential to prevent peri-implant disease. Our hygienists are trained in implant maintenance to help keep your restoration healthy for decades.

Do dental implants feel natural?

A dental implant replicates the root and crown of a natural tooth, so it feels and functions just like the real thing. Most patients cannot distinguish between a real tooth and an implant-supported crown once healed. Our master ceramists use handcrafted restorations to ensure every crown blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth for a natural, confident smile.

How long does it take to fit a dental implant?

Treatment time depends on the number of implants and your individual needs. A single immediate dental implant can often be placed in a couple of hours, while complex full mouth restorations (such as All-on-4) may take several hours. We also offer same-day implants, allowing you to leave the clinic with a temporary tooth immediately after implant surgery. Immediate implants are highly beneficial because they protect the open socket from bacteria and maintain soft tissue health.

Can you have dental implants with receding gums?

Yes. Receding gums are not necessarily a contraindication for dental implants. In fact, our clinicians can treat gum recession before or during implant placement to ensure optimal long-term results. Each case is carefully assessed during your implant consultation to ensure the gum foundation is healthy enough to support the implant.

How long will a dental implant last?

Standard dental implants can last 20 to 30 years or longer, depending on how well you look after them. With excellent oral hygiene and regular professional maintenance, implants placed by our implant surgeons often last a lifetime. The materials we use are biocompatible, durable, and supported by decades of clinical research.

Can everyone get dental implants?

Most adults are suitable candidates for dental implants, but certain factors can affect eligibility. Conditions such as active gum disease, severe decay, smoking, or immune-related health issues can compromise success. During your implant consultation, our team conducts a full 3D bone assessment and reviews your medical history to determine the best treatment approach.

Are dental implants safe?

Yes. Implant surgery is one of the safest and most predictable procedures in modern dentistry when performed by a qualified and experienced implant surgeon. Our clinic follows stringent sterile protocols and uses computer-guided implant placement for absolute accuracy. Prof Dr Christian Mehl, our lead implant surgeon, is an internationally recognised researcher and lecturer in implantology, ensuring every patient benefits from evidence-based, world-class care.

When should dental implants not be used?

In rare cases, implants may not be suitable for patients with severe bone loss, uncontrolled diabetes, or active periodontal disease. Heavy smokers or those undergoing certain medical treatments may also face delayed healing. However, thanks to modern implant solutions such as bone grafting and zygomatic implants, many of these limitations can now be overcome safely and effectively.

When do dental implants make sense?

The ideal time for implant placement is soon after losing a tooth. Early intervention preserves bone density, maintains bite stability, and prevents neighbouring teeth from shifting. We recommend booking an implant consultation as soon as possible to explore your implant options and avoid long-term complications.

What advantages does modern implantology offer?

Modern implantology provides patients with minimally invasive, predictable, and comfortable treatment. Using 3D diagnostics and digital planning, our team performs implant surgery with microscopic precision. Benefits include preservation of jawbone and facial structure, restoration of natural function and bite, high success rates of over 98%, long-term durability, and exceptional patient satisfaction. Our commitment to innovation ensures every implant is placed and restored with state-of-the-art precision.

How much will 4 tooth implants cost?

The cost of four implants depends on your oral health, bone density, and desired restoration type. Each single implant starts from £2,200, with each implant crown from £1,800, while a full arch of fixed teeth using All-on-4 starts from £15,000. A detailed quotation will be provided after your implant consultation, ensuring complete transparency.

What is the 3/2 rule for implant placement?

The 3/2 rule in implantology suggests that the implant's length should be at least three times its width, and the implant platform should sit approximately two millimetres below the bone crest. This ratio improves load distribution and promotes long-term stability. Our clinicians use 3D imaging and planning software to meet these biomechanical principles with every case.

What is the downside of a tooth implant?

While implants are highly successful, they do require minor surgery and a short healing period. Temporary swelling or mild discomfort can occur but resolves quickly. Failure rates are extremely low at our clinic, thanks to meticulous planning, sterile technique, and expert aftercare.

Do dental implants hurt?

Most patients describe dental implant surgery as comfortable and pain-free. We use local anaesthesia and, if required, sedation to ensure a relaxed experience. Post-surgical tenderness is minimal and managed easily with mild pain relief.

Can dental implants fail?

Implant failure is rare, with success rates exceeding 98% when placed by an experienced implant surgeon. When complications do arise, they are usually linked to poor hygiene, smoking, or systemic health issues. Our proactive aftercare and monitoring protocols significantly reduce these risks.

Are same-day dental implants a good option?

Yes, for many patients. Same-day dental implants (also called immediate implants) allow placement of a temporary restoration immediately after implant surgery, offering fast results without compromising quality. Our clinic has extensive experience with this technique, ensuring both safety and aesthetic excellence.

Can I get dental implants on the NHS?

Dental implants are typically not covered by the NHS except in very limited medical cases. Our private implant clinic in London provides advanced, long-term solutions with flexible finance options, making premium implant care accessible.

How long does recovery take after implant surgery?

Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of your procedure. Most patients experience minimal swelling and return to normal activity within 24 to 48 hours. Complete healing usually takes a few weeks to a few months, during which the implant fuses with the bone. Your dentist will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor progress.

When should I book my implant consultation?

If you have recently lost a tooth or want to replace an existing denture or bridge, we recommend booking your implant consultation promptly. Early assessment helps preserve bone and ensures smoother treatment planning. Contact our team to arrange your consultation and explore your personalised implant options.
