Every treatment plan begins with what you want to change, what is clinically achievable and which option offers the best long-term value for you.
A fixed, natural-looking replacement planned to sit comfortably alongside your existing teeth.
A fixed solution for replacing several missing teeth, supported by implants without unnecessary treatment of healthy neighbouring teeth.
A more stable solution for patients who want greater confidence when speaking, smiling and eating.
A full-arch fixed bridge supported by carefully positioned implants for patients who need to replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
Fully guided implant placement
A surgical guide is a custom-made, 3D-printed or milled template that fits over your teeth or gums to control the precise angle, depth and position of the surgical drill during implant placement. Approximately 95% of my implant cases are carried out using guided surgery.
Your three-dimensional CT scan is essential to my planning and is combined with a digital model of your teeth. It shows the available bone and nearby anatomical structures needed to design your surgical guide.
The implant position, angle and depth are planned digitally around both the available bone and the ideal position of your future tooth.
The guide fits precisely over your teeth and physically guides my drills along the digitally planned path. This helps me position the implant in the best available place to support a natural-looking final tooth — both functionally and aesthetically.
Guided surgery supports accuracy and careful planning, but it does not remove every biological or surgical risk. Clinical judgement and appropriate safety margins remain essential.
Your treatment journey
Implant treatment can feel like a big decision. You will understand each stage, your alternatives, likely timescales and costs before you decide to proceed.
We begin with your concerns, your medical history and a careful clinical examination.
A three-dimensional CT scan is essential to my implant planning. It allows me to assess the bone and design the guided surgical approach.
The implant is placed — usually with a patient-specific surgical guide — then normally allowed to heal for around three months.
Final scans or impressions are taken and your bespoke implant crown, bridge or denture is fitted, commonly 2–3 weeks later.
Treatment timing
For an already healed site, implant placement, approximately three months of healing, final records and manufacture of the restoration usually make the complete process around four months.
If a failing tooth needs to be removed first, I may recommend approximately two months of early healing before placing the implant. The full process will then often take around five to six months.
Immediate implant placement at the same appointment as extraction is sometimes possible and can shorten treatment. It requires careful case selection and depends on the condition of the socket, available bone, infection status and whether good implant stability can be achieved.
These are typical estimates. Bone grafting, sinus procedures, healing response and laboratory stages can alter the overall timescale.Meet your dentist

Clarity at every stage
Patients regularly tell me how much they value the way I explain their treatment. I take time to make complex decisions understandable, answer questions honestly and put the complete plan in writing.
You receive a short written recap of what we discussed, the options available and the recommended next step.
Your detailed report explains the scan findings, proposed treatment, stages, timing, costs, alternatives and relevant risks before you make a decision.
Common questions
Your consultation is the best place for advice specific to you. These answers are a useful starting point.
Many adults with missing teeth can be considered for implant treatment. Gum health, bone volume, medical history, smoking and the way your teeth meet all need to be assessed first.
Yes. In my opinion, a three-dimensional CT scan is an essential part of accurate implant planning, particularly when I am planning fully guided surgery. It allows me to assess the bone and important nearby structures, plan the implant position, angle and depth, and create your individual surgical guide. The guide then directs my drills so that the implant is placed where it can best support the final tooth both functionally and aesthetically.
At an already healed site, the whole process is commonly around four months. When a tooth must be removed and the socket is allowed to heal for approximately two months first, the total is often five to six months. More complex grafting can take longer.
Bone preservation or grafting may be possible, depending on the site. The need, materials, benefits and alternatives will be discussed before treatment.
Implant aftercare
Implants are biological treatments, so no clinician can promise that an implant will last for a particular number of years. What I can promise is transparency and support if a problem occurs.
If an implant fails to integrate during the initial healing period — normally within the first 12 months or before completion of osseointegration — I will usually offer one replacement implant placement without an additional surgical fee, provided repeating treatment remains clinically appropriate.
The implant-supported crown, abutment and retaining screw have a limited five-year technical guarantee for qualifying technical or material complications. This is not an unconditional biological guarantee.
Cover is subject to the full written terms and normally excludes problems associated with peri-implantitis, inadequate oral hygiene, smoking, missed maintenance, uncontrolled medical conditions, trauma, excessive bite forces or bruxism.
Full terms are provided with your individual treatment report and consent documents. Any later biological complication is assessed individually.
