A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. Once it has fused with the bone – a process called osseointegration – a natural-looking crown is secured on top, giving you a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like the real thing. With proper care, implants can last 20 years or more.
Dr Nitin Nagpaul is our experienced implant dentist, with years of expertise in implant placement at our Gipsy Hill practice. Once the implant has healed and integrated, Dr Bobby Bandlish – who has extensive experience in cosmetic restorations – fits the final crown, ensuring a result that is both clinically precise and beautifully natural-looking.
The full process is managed under one roof: from your initial consultation and 3D imaging through to placement, restoration, and long-term maintenance. No referrals, fewer appointments, and a seamless patient journey from start to smile.

Implants are the closest thing to getting your natural tooth back.
We begin with a detailed clinical assessment, 3D imaging (if needed), and a personalised treatment plan — including costs and timelines.
The titanium implant is placed gently into the jawbone under local anaesthetic by our specialist. Healing and bone integration typically take a few months.
Once healed, a beautifully crafted artificial tooth (crown) is secured to the implant. It will match the shape, colour and contour of your natural teeth.
We’ll guide you on how to maintain your implant with simple daily care. Regular hygiene reviews help protect your investment for life.
Dental implants are widely used and considered safe when planned and placed correctly. They are made from biocompatible materials and are carefully assessed with scans and clinical checks. Treatment planning focuses on bone health, medical history and long-term oral stability to minimise risks.
Soft foods are usually advised during the early healing phase, often for a few days to weeks, depending on the procedure. A gradual return to normal eating follows as healing progresses. Your dentist will give tailored guidance to protect the implant while allowing comfortable recovery.
Implants are designed to be a long-term solution. The implant itself can last many years, often decades, if oral hygiene is maintained and regular dental visits continue. While crowns may need replacement over time due to wear, the implant foundation is intended to remain stable with proper care.
No — it’s typically done under local anaesthetic and patients report minimal discomfort. We’ll ensure you feel relaxed and well-cared for throughout.
Most healthy adults are eligible. We’ll assess your gum health and bone density, and if needed, recommend supporting procedures like bone grafting.
Smokers can receive implants, but smoking increases the risk of delayed healing and implant complications. Dentists often recommend reducing or stopping smoking before and after treatment. Careful planning and follow-up can help manage risks and support successful outcomes.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last 20+ years.
There is no strict upper age limit. Suitability depends more on general health, bone quality and healing ability rather than age alone. Adults of many ages can be considered once jaw growth is complete. A clinical assessment helps determine whether implants are an appropriate option.
Implants are fixed in the jaw, offering greater stability than removable dentures. Unlike bridges, they do not rely on neighbouring teeth for support. This helps preserve surrounding tooth structure and bone levels. Many patients find implants feel closer to natural chewing and speaking compared with other options.
Implants preserve bone structure and don’t require cutting down healthy teeth. They look, feel and function like natural teeth — offering long-term stability and aesthetics.
