We can improve your day-to-day life while enhancing your smile by replacing old dentures or missing teeth with implants.

Is living with missing teeth making you miserable? Are your dentures ill-fitting and making it hard to speak or to eat your favourite foods? It could be time to consider implants. Dental implants can dramatically improve and enhance not only a patient’s overall smile and appearance but their life.

Implants can change all that.

This means you know you’ll be treated with compassion and kindness throughout your treatment journey, and be able to enjoy our comfortable, cutting-edge practice. Starting with a consultation, we’ll take care of you throughout, ensuring you feel confident, comfortable, and well-informed at every stage of your implant journey – and by the end, you’ll have a brand-new smile you can’t wait to show off.

FAQs

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a small, biocompatible fixture placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it has healed, it can support a replacement tooth such as a crown, bridge or denture.

Am I suitable for dental implants?

Suitability depends on your oral health, gum health, available bone, bite, medical history and the area being treated. Your dentist will assess you clinically and may recommend X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging before confirming whether implants are suitable.

Do I need healthy gums before having dental implants?

Good gum health is important for successful implant treatment. If you have active gum disease, decay or other dental problems, these may need to be treated before implant surgery.

Will dental implant treatment hurt?

Implant placement is normally carried out under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Some tenderness, swelling or bruising can occur afterwards and is usually managed with the aftercare and pain-relief advice provided by your dentist.

How long does dental implant treatment take?

The overall process varies from patient to patient. Some cases can be completed relatively quickly, while others require healing periods between stages. Your dentist will explain the expected timeline for your individual treatment.

How long does a dental implant last?

Dental implants can provide a long-term tooth replacement solution when they are well maintained. The implant itself and the replacement tooth are different components, and the crown, bridge or denture may eventually need maintenance or replacement.

Why does dental implant treatment cost more than some other tooth replacement options?

Implant treatment involves several stages and may include detailed planning, imaging, surgery, implant components, laboratory work and the final restoration. Costs can also vary according to the number of implants and whether procedures such as bone grafting are needed. The most useful comparison is between complete treatment plans rather than implant prices alone.

Should I consider having dental implants abroad?

Treatment abroad may appear less expensive, but it is important to consider the full treatment plan, regulation, implant system and components, clinical records, follow-up care and how any complications would be managed after you return home. Your dentist can discuss the alternatives and help you make an informed decision.

What can go wrong with dental implants?

As with any surgical procedure, dental implants carry risks. These can include infection, bleeding, discomfort, delayed or failed integration with the bone, damage to nearby structures and problems affecting the implant or replacement tooth. Longer-term gum inflammation around an implant can develop into peri-implant disease. Your dentist will discuss the risks relevant to you.

What is peri-implantitis?

Peri-implantitis is inflammation and infection affecting the tissues around a dental implant, with associated loss of supporting bone. Good oral hygiene, professional maintenance and regular implant reviews can help reduce the risk and identify problems early.

What is bone grafting for dental implants?

Bone grafting is a procedure used to add or rebuild bone where there is not enough bone volume for planned implant treatment. Depending on the site and amount of bone required, it may be carried out before implant placement or, in selected cases, at the same time.

What are ‘teeth in a day’?

‘Teeth in a day’ is a term often used for treatment where temporary teeth are attached to dental implants on the same day as implant placement or shortly afterwards. It does not necessarily mean that the final permanent teeth are fitted that day. Suitability depends on factors such as bone quality, implant stability and your overall treatment plan.

I highly recommend this excellent dental team. From the friendly, welcoming faces at Reception to the reassuringly professional work of the surgeons. A huge thankyou, in particular, to Neel Sethi for the time and patience he took to outline the options and procedures available, to the eventual satisfactory outcome. Throughout I was always made to feel welcome, relaxed and in very capable hands. I look forward to all future visits with my new friends 😀.

Friendly and helpful staff, nice clean facilities. Been very happy with the dental work I've had done here. you've no hope if trying via NHS realistically but going private with them has worked out well for me over the last few years since i started going here.

I had a fantastic experience at this practice. Neel was incredibly thorough. He took time to explain my options, as well as what I could expect from the procedures and answered any follow-up questions I had. Both he and the dental nurse were incredibly attentive and kind. I felt like I was in safe hands with them both.

Great dental experience for my partner and I. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a dentist or hygienist. Huge thank you to Dr Cuppoor for her professional and expert advise and care!

I contacted Diamond Dental because I was in a lot of pain with a tooth that needed extraction. I had spoken to my dentist of 35 years and they offered me an appointment in 3 weeks. The only reason I still had the troublesome tooth was because they had cancelled an emergency appointment a while back. The whole team at DD were professional and helpful from the first phone call. I was seen the same day and the dentist, Yanisha, was a true professional and also had a lovely friendly manner explaining everything and putting me at ease. Excellent service and a good price too. I strongly recommend !

I received a very professional service from start to finish at this clinic. I was seen by Neel Sethi who did a thorough check and explained the filling treatment that I needed. He was very gentle and I did not feel any discomfort or pain during the whole process. He even showed me before and after photos, which I had not experienced at any other clinic. I felt totally at ease and will go back to Neel for any future checks and treatments.

Amazing service. The staff I have met are all super friendly.I could not have asked for a better experience. Tayla at the desk was really welcoming, and during the actual appointment Andrea and Corinne gave me the best treatment. I felt no pain or discomfort at any time and more importantly I was consistently informed about the process and given clear options on how to proceed for future appointments.I would highly recommended this dentist to those in need or anyone just looking for somewhere to do a regular check-up.

I don’t usually write reviews but Neel at Diamond Dental Group was amazing throughout my treatment. He explained everything so clearly and simply and kept me informed throughout.He didn’t pressurise me into any treatment and really felt like I was getting fair and honest advice and treatment options which is why I ended up choosing him.In the end the treatment was a breeze, run super comfortably and professionally by Neel and now I am not anxious or scared for my next appointment as know I’m in good hands!Thanks so much Neel :)

My first point of contact was Alison. She was brilliant and made me feel welcome and she was also there when I first attended. Very much appreciated as I was a real scaredy-cat. I love my new dentist Neel in the most professional way and I put my trust in him. My confidence is growing with this practice after 34 years of being at another.I have no hesitation in my recommendation.
