Dental Implants in London
Implants are titanium screws replacing the former roots of a tooth. They are precisely placed into the jawbone socket under sterile conditions and using local anaesthesia. Once the implant has healed into the bone, a full ceramic final restoration is placed. They are produced using state-of-the-art technology to deliver a perfect match so they look and feel of your natural teeth.

Examples of our work
Dental implants provide a life-changing solution for those missing one or more teeth, offering stability, functionality, and a natural look. At Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, our dental implant case studies highlight how we restore smiles with a meticulous and personalized approach, addressing each patient’s unique needs. From single-tooth implants to full arch restorations, these cases illustrate the transformative power of implants in restoring confidence and improving quality of life.
At Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, we understand the transformative impact dental implants can have on our patients’ lives. As a leading provider of dental implant services in London, we offer cutting-edge solutions for those seeking to replace missing teeth with an option that closely mimics natural teeth in both appearance and functionality.
Dental implants act as artificial roots to support prosthetic teeth. This innovative approach not only restores the functionality and aesthetics of your smile, but also promotes jawbone health, preventing the bone loss commonly associated with missing teeth. Our dental implants are often a preferred alternative to traditional bridges or dentures due to their stability, comfort, and natural appearance.
The popularity of dental implants is rising in the UK, with an estimated 130,000 implants being placed annually as of 2012, a number that has since grown significantly. This reflects a broader trend towards more permanent and aesthetic solutions for tooth loss.
At Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, we emphasize the importance of choosing the right dental professionals for such a significant procedure. Our team comprises experienced and highly trained implantologists, dedicated to delivering the best possible outcomes for our patients. We use the latest technology in dental implantology, ensuring precise and safe implant placement.
Understanding the financial aspects of dental implant treatment is crucial. The cost of dental implants can vary, with the average price in the UK being around £2,000 per implant. Comprehensive treatments, like full-mouth implants, can be more costly. These prices are influenced by factors such as the health of your gums and jawbone, the need for additional procedures like bone grafts, and the specific type of implant system used. At Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, we provide a detailed cost breakdown to our patients, ensuring transparency and clarity in our pricing.
Choosing dental implants is a significant decision, one that can greatly improve your quality of life. At Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, we are committed to guiding you through this journey with expertise, care, and the highest standard of treatment.
Who is suitable for dental implants?
Implants are normally a procedure for adults with a fully formed jaw who may have one or more missing teeth. All dental patients can be considered for this procedure, however certain conditions may worsen the prognosis, such as gum disease, diabetes, immunosuppressant medications, and smokers.
Each case presents differently so trust your dentist here at Wimpole Street Dental Clinic to be in the best position to advise if dental implants are suitable for you on this occasion.

Our Expertise
The use of dental implants is a field of dentistry called Implantology and forms one of the dental restoration options available to you within Prosthodontics, Periodontics, and Oral Surgery. This level of expertise for this dental procedure is one where you need to consult the skills of a certified master of their profession.
Implants can be placed and restored immediately (immediate implants) although sometimes we need to wait for the bone to heal around them. For patients needing full mouth rehabilitation, teeth-in-a-day, also called All-on-4, is an option we are extremely experienced in. In severely resorbed maxillas, zygomatic implants can also be considered.
Immediate implants, sometimes known as ‘same-day implants’ are where a dental implant is directly placed into the extraction socket of the former tooth. The benefit of same-day implants (or ‘immediate implants’) is that it is a surgical procedure that is more convenient for the patient, meaning that the socket is exposed for a shorter period of time (thereby reducing the risk of infection). Additionally, the placement of same-day implants associated with a temporary keeps the bone and soft tissue in better condition and guarantees a better aesthetical result.

What happens when dental implants are fitted?
After consultation, if you agree to receive a dental implant, your dentist will use photos, a 3D X-ray and a digital scan of your teeth to prepare to proceed with our computer-guided implant operation for you.
Rest assured you will receive appropriate anaesthesia before the procedure begins.
We access the bone by way of a small incision so as to place the dental implant into the prepared jaw bone socket. In 99% of our dental implant cases, we use a titanium implant.
Post-procedure and after a short healing period, the implant is exposed to the oral cavity and another digital impression is taken by your dentist to evaluate the success of the treatment and to prepare for the final restoration.
Two weeks to six months later, the final restoration is conducted using a crown, bridge or denture as required and the placement is completed. If you want immediate same-day implants, your treatment plan is likely to be slightly different but your dentist will explain in full what is required for immediate implant placement on the same day.
