A single dental implant works like a natural tooth. It is fixed, natural looking and permanent replacement for a lost of missing tooth. Implants are designed to replicate your natural teeth.



Dr Ali Rifai was professional and I am very pleased with the outcome of my Invisalign's. I have been with this practice for many years and would highly recommend. The staff are very friendly and nothing is an issue.

Dental implants are fixed-tooth alternative to dentures with no false teeth slipping in the mouth. In addition, dental implants are fitted into the bone and do not require the preparation of the adjacent teeth like traditional bridges, thus not exposing adjacent teeth to unnecessary preparation work. Being totally independent from adjacent teeth also means that they are not reliant on those teeth to remain fixed in the mouth unlike a traditional bridge.
1. Initial consultation + CT Scan
2. Surgery appointment – Typically carried out using local anaesthetic ( or if you wish for conscious sedation for a more relaxed feeling) – the titanium implant is placed into the jaw bone.
3. After 8-12 weeks – Once your bone has attached to the implant and fully integrated, you will attend the clinic for a scan or mould for the new customised tooth to be manufactured.
4. After 2 weeks – New customised crown is fitted to implant.
No problem. We are renowned for handling complex cases. As specialists, we have customised solutions to ensure that if you are missing many teeth adjacent to each other that replacement teeth can be manufactured and fitted within a similar time frame. Implants provide a better solution to dentures and partial dentures, which can be uncomfortable and slip in the mouth, causing difficulty in eating or speaking.
1. Multiple single implants: when multiple single teeth are missing in different parts of the mouth
2. Implant Supported Bridge: Perfect when several single teeth are missing in a row.
3. Teeth in a Day or All-on-4: Where all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw can no longer be saved and require removal. This procedure will allow us to give you new teeth in just 1 day!
Made from a biologically friendly titanium which fuses well with the jawbone to act like a tooth root.
The surgery is completed under local anaesthetic, this ensures the area of implant placement and nearby surrounding areas are completely numb and pain-free.
After surgery it is normal to experience some mild discomfort for 1-3 days. This can be easily managed with some over the counter pain killers such as paracetamol and ibuprofen.
Many patients are referred to us as their dentist can no longer help them. We specialise in resolving complex case with a 98.2% success rate. We will work out an implant solution customised to your needs. This could be as simple as a bone graft procedure or more complex Zygomatic Implant surgery.
